Revocation

The following judgements of revocation were raised during the summit.

Judgement 11

Assembly: General
Raised By: Lady Josephine of Adina's Charge
Judgement: I call for the Revocation of Senator Bohemdond de Rondell. His relentless pursuit of the conquest of the Barrens for Dawn, and only Dawn, has destroyed the Empire's reputation and cause those we could have brought into the Empire to see us as nothing more than human Druj. He has shamed his national assembly who said they came as liberators. He claims this is all for his Ambition, but if the cost of that ambition is the Empire's honour and integrity then it is not a price we should, or have, to pay. He says he does these things for the good of the Empire, but only a Foor or a Liar would think our standing on the international stage and the souls we could have saved was a worthy trade. Neither of those should be a senator.
Outcome: Upheld (1898-484); Margin of 1414

Judgement 63

Assembly: General
Raised By: Konstantin Rabovich Bolotnikov
Judgement: Xanthius, Guildmaster of Artisans. While their decision to assist the slavers of Jarm in their war against our Commonwealth allies disgusts me, I call for revocation due to the unprosperous way they intend to fulfil this order. The guild will profit 70 thrones and yet they intend to pay 2 crowns for each item made. 2 thrones to the hardworking artisans. 48 thrones to the Guildmaster!
Outcome: Withdrawn, Not Upheld (1150-108); Margin of 1042

Challenge

The following judgement of challenge was raised during the summit

Inquisition

The following judgements of inquisition were raised during the summit.

Judgement 25

Assembly: Way
Raised By: Morwenna Witheredrose
Judgement: Last season a knight asked me to hold a knife to their nations throat and in doing so curb the cruelest impulses of Dawn. This season I hand them the blade so they may hold a superior office to account. Vesna Prochnost is called to inquisition on the Saturday of this summit at the Vates Claw Camp, at a reasonable time of her own convenience. The inquisiting priest will be Tunic of the Barrens, with assistance from Morwenna Witheredrose. Discussion will involve foreign policy, and our treatment of potential converts.
Outcome: Upheld (82-0)

Judgement 53

Assembly: Freeborn
Raised By: Azir i Shartha i Riqueza
Judgement: At the behest of Hakima Khan i Erigo and others, I call Ramos i Inigo i Riqueza to Inquisition to discuss their actions around their bid for custodianship of the Red Depths, and threats of violence made against other members of the Dhomiro Council at Anvil. The Inquisition is to be held at a time TBC (subject to skirmish timetables) Saturday afternoon, at the Taziel camp.
Outcome: Upheld (36-0)

Judgement 56

Assembly: Wisdom
Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
Judgement: Five seasons have passed and now Aspar wishes to walk a new Path. I call the Cardinal ,while that is still his title, to Inquisition. May he face the Wise One and tell me what he has learned during his time as Cardinal. Let us weigh his Wisdom upon the scales. 12:00 Hearth and Honey. Witness if you wish.
Outcome: Upheld (230-0)

Judgement 57

Assembly: Marcher
Raised By: Father Edmund
Judgement: I call Amberlain P. Black to inquisition, to take a measure of her virtue, at 5pm Saturday in the Marcher Community Hall.
Outcome: Upheld (58-18); Margin of 40

Judgement 75

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Halwyn Splitroot
Judgement: I, Halwyn Splitroot, Guide of Navarr, Vate of the Sevenfold Path, call my own coven, the Voice of the Quiet Forest, to inquisition to examine their virtue pertaining to their meetings with the heralds of Arhallogen at the Autumn Equinox.
Outcome: Upheld (246-10); Margin of 236
Note: Names were added to the reverse of the judgement

Judgement 76

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Kellin Embercast
Judgement: Aerowen Embercast is uncertain of her own Virtue. There seem to be countless other people who are more certain, one way or another. This is causing growing issues across our nation. I call Aerowen to inquisition at 2pm on Saturday, at her own camp. We will discuss virtue, and ensure that her sense of Loyalty is satisfied.
Outcome: Upheld (166-0)

Judgement 77

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Kellin Embercast
Judgement: "Even the strongest may err, but deceivers will lie again." Rhisiart Dancewalker is a prominent figure in Navarr. A senator for three years, a General for one; his voice carries sway. However, I am not convinced that he knows what commands his heart's devotion. I believe he is conflicted, uncertain whether the bond with his banner outweighs his oaths to Navarr and the Empire. A general's heart cannot afford such a division; An Inquisitor's mind cannot abide to see this go unquestioned. I call Rhisiart Dancewalker to Inquisition on Saturday at 7:00pm, at Mhorish, where we will discuss the truth of his Loyalty.
Outcome: Upheld (158-0)

Sanction

The following judgements of sanction were raised during the summit.

Judgement 23

Assembly: Way
Raised By: Morwenna Witheredrose
Judgement: (Vindication) After much deliberation the Inquisitorial Court believes Sadogua has performed numerous virtuous deeds, but we cannot be sure if those deeds were deliberate and prosperous choices, or the product of his essential magical nature. We therefore challenge Sadogua to undertake a pilgrimage of spirit, and prove he can change his nature through deliberate and virtuous choice. If successful his case for Exemplardom will be incredibly strong. Should we require assistance in this task the Sevenfold Path of course stands ready to offer guidance.
Outcome: Upheld (200-42); Margin of 158

Judgement 24

Assembly: Way
Raised By: Morwenna Witheredrose
Judgement: (Vindication) Mud, rain, and a half dozen other fuck-ups have this vindication arriving seasons late with sincere apologies to Claudia Remys. Her only failing is that she allows the judgement of others to dull her own Pride. Of course people act weird around successful winter mages, few comprehend the realm properly and assume its foremost practitioners in some way foul. It is our job as more enlightened pilgrims to sing of our successes anyway, and in defiance of such pretenders find transcendent pride.
Outcome: Upheld (154-0)

Judgement 45

Assembly: Marcher
Raised By: Sam Wych
Judgement: (Penance) As you sow you shall reap. Brother Harvest. You have a year to redeem your evil ways. Accused Idoaltor and Murderer. A year in which you must reject hospitality. Refuse rest in spare rooms, church halls, and lofty barns. Stay vigilant outside, till you learn - what lesson? You shall know when you know. And when you have answered correctly, I will free you from this penance. If you do not have the answer in a year your throat will be cut and your blood will feed the next harvest.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (194-0)

Judgement 50

Assembly: Vigilance
Raised By: Sam Wych
Judgement: (Penance) I charge Fintan with dedicating his full focus to his true ambition, to share the wisdom, encourage discussion and the promotion of the Way across the Empire. He must spend the next year ensuring the New Scions is a robust, vigilant organisation aware of the damage it has the potential to cause and equipped to forestall it. This must be done without an Imperial position. It is not my belief that his testimony is due to any failing on Virtue on his part. His journey has only just begun to the great legacy he will leave behind.
Outcome: Upheld (158-66); Margin of 92

Judgement 54

Assembly: General
Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riqueza
Judgement: (Vindication) It cannot be said that Constanzi i Kalamar i Guerra is without Pride, and does not seek to inspire it in others. At her best, she is a testimony of Virtue, and (as well as this Prosperity can tell) lives and breathes it. But we are not always at our best. Sometimes it is hard to untangle the Virtue from the politics, politics which in this case have long since passed the point of being sleeping dogs who need to lie. But, during her inquisition when discussing what had happened in elections long gone, I believe her actions spoke to her. They spoke of a distance, between Constanza at her best and Constanza as she has acted. The Labyrinth can forgive a mistake, as long as it is one we learn from, and I trust it is a lesson she will carry forward as she and her Assembly move on, whatever those next steps may be. A formal Penance is unwarranted, Constanza reach her own verdict within the Inquisition. It is up to her to live up to her best.
Outcome: Upheld (962-32); Margin of 930

Recognition

The following judgements of recognition were raised during the summit.

Judgement 4

Assembly: General
Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
Judgement: We recognise Amika Acciai, sixth child of the House of Steel, as an Exemplar of Ambition. He reached out to Rafael Barossa d'Apulian, seeking help with his goal to "engulf Asavea in a firestorm of change". Pilgrimage:Amika travelled to the Temple of the Way in Nemoria and studied there under Sumaash and Imperial priests. Benevolence: Amika turned his family estate into a safe haven for followers of the Way fleeing persecution by the Plenum. Salvation: Amika freed his family's slaves and taught them the Way. These pilgrims infiltrated other estates and spread the Way to the slaves there. Amika led the attack on the Tarquinius family estate, killing the oppressors there and giving his life for the cause. Inspiration: Amika's death inspired his cousin Alberto, who led the attack on the city of Marlien that freed all the slaves there, and started the wave of unrest that is currently crashing across Asavea.
Outcome: Upheld (1610-162); Margin of 1438
Notes: Amika Acciai will be added to the list of known exemplars

Judgement 5

Assembly: General
Raised By: Eevi of the Gadrai
Judgement: Dogri Thulebane is an Exemplar of Loyalty. The signs are clear. Inspiration: Dogri's words inspired more than 200 fighters to stand with him in defence of Crow's Keep and Skarsind. in 385YE Spring, Dogri's story was added to Wintermark's Chronicle of Heroism as a national inspiration. Benevolence: Dogri opened Crow's Keep to all Skarsind winterfolk who did not want to leave. When the battle of Crow's Keep was lost, he ordered his followers to escape with their lives rather than lead them to their death. Miracle: Upon his death, a spontaneous aura of Loyalty manifested on the amulet he was wearing with no intervention from practitioners of Liao ceremonies. Legacy: Crow's Ridge is the region where Crow's Keep is found. After Dogri's stand, Crow's Ridge was taken by the Thule but the scars of Thulebane remain. Crow's Ridge is Dogri's legacy and for that legacy we have been granted an opportunity in 385YE Sumer to create an inspirational tomb for him, in his final resting place; the Sovevann, Kallavesa with true liao
Outcome: Upheld (1751-464); Margin of 1287
Notes: Dogri Thulebane will be added to the list of known exemplars

Judgement 19

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Sufyan i Zuhri i Erigo
Judgement: We recognise Alberto Acciai, Martyr of Marilen, as an Exemplar of Loyalty, with the following signs: Benevolence: Inspired by his cousin Amika, Alberto led a rebellion of slaves in the mines surrounding Marilen. Alberto was a vintner, and freed these slaves solely in pursuit of Virtue rather than riches. Inspiration: After the rebellion, Alberto led the liberated miners to the city of Marilen, where they took over the city and slew its rulers, resolving to destroy the two coming armies of the Plenum in Virtue. Salvation: In freeing these slaves, Albero was able to teach them and the people of Marilen the Way of Virtue and the use of liao, spreading our shared faith across the oppressed of the Archipelago. Legacy: Based on correspondence with Rafael Barossa d'Apulian, we know that Alberto could have fled. Instead, out of Loyalty to those he had freed, he gave his life to ignite Virtue across Asavea.
Outcome: Not Upheld (288-68); Margin of 220
Notes: A judgement of recognition in a Virtue Assembly requires a greater majority to be upheld.

Judgement 62

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Maurice
Judgement: This judgement seeks to recognise the exemplarhood of Persephone Sage-Fletcher, Captain of the Harpy-Eagles. In an act of inspiration, she founded this brotherhood of archers, promoting solidarity and esprit de corps, both internally and with the archers of other nations. In benevolence, she did not profit from so doing, but strove instead to uplift her comrades. Whenver one marches to safeguard one's comrades, that is a pilgrimage of loyalty. The Harpy-Eagles marched often, and she stood with her comrades every time. In Broceliande she died, fighting in the army's rearguard to buy time for the wounded to be seen to safety. She has a legacy of unity: in her name, houses Orzel, Tallstag, Mortere, Griffinsong, Renard, Summerstrong and many others marched on Broceliande, putting the vallorn to the sword and bringing back her body.
Outcome: Not Upheld (186-124); Margin of 62
Notes: A judgement of recognition in a Virtue Assembly requires a greater majority to be upheld.

Rewarding

The following judgements of rewarding were sought during the summit.

Judgement 19

Assembly: General
Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
Judgement: Silver Tongue of Virtue is a Night ritual created by Nathair Autumngale that swells Congregations by encouraging the passion of its members. It is a valuable tool in spreading the Way. Rafael Barossa d'Apulian had this ritual codified in the Loom of Spells at an equivalent cost of 5 Thrones and 10 rings, and then paid the 10 Thrones to have it entered into Imperial Lore so Virtuous magicians could master it and easily cast it on willing priests. We reward Rafael Barossa d'Apulian 15 for these actions.
Outcome: Upheld (1038-256); Margin of 782
Notes: Silver Tongue of Virtue is a Night ritual that affects congregations

Judgement 47

Assembly: General
Raised By: Eska Harakkadottir
Judgement: I request a rewarding of 6 thrones from the virtue fund to be given to Merolf, Captain of the Militia, for dispersal to those in the militia who worked on the Brighteyes case (investigating and making arests following the Netherwatch coven's casting of Bright Eyes Gleam in the Depths). This enormous undertaking was diligently performed with Vigilance, Courage, and Ambition, proving the miltia are a credit to the Empire. It must be noted, the militia are not paid for their services. This is an embarrassment to the Empire's Pride and Prosperity. Let this be the first step in correcting this oversight.
Outcome: Upheld (845-264); Margin of 581

Judgement 61

Assembly: General
Raised By: Albrecht von Holberg
Judgement: It is prosperous both that no magic should go unused, and that the deserving should be rewarded with all that is worthwhile. The Summah Republic have requested access to two rituals in Imperial Lore, both of which enhance fortifications, to aid them in the ongoing war against the institution of slavery. To create these ritual texts to be shared, the sum of ten thrones each is required. The Synod awards Albrecht von Holberg of the Temple of Nine Fingers ten thrones to assist in funding the dissemination of the requested ritual texts.
Outcome: Upheld (1068-246); Margin of 822

Judgement 66

Assembly: General
Raised By: Sebastiano
Judgement: When the Cold Sun threatened his people Ostrik Vulpe, last Keeper of Berislav's Rest, drew a line in the snow. He sacrificed coin, mana, blood, and f finally the mines and title to Berislav's Rest. Through these actions was the Cold Sun army The Shepherds of Ash destroyed. Let there be no mistake, this was an act of great virtue, one that has gone unheralded. But the Synod should recognise the sacrifice of a valuable tenured sinecure for the good of the Empire. Let us reward Ostrike Vulpe with 20 thrones to account for the loss in income, coin and mana. Let me be an example to all.
Outcome: Upheld (596-340); Margin of 256

Judgement 78

Assembly: General
Raised By: Khan i Erigo
Judgement: While fighting in the service of the High Exorcist, Kohan Gael i Guerra and Liovani i Erigo demonstrated loyalty in using their personal resources to ransom fellow citizens from an overwhelming opponent. I propose they each be reimbursed 1 throne to compensate them for this expense. 2 thrones total.
Outcome: Upheld (1090-96); Margin of 994

Special Considerations

The following considerations should be borne in mind when bringing judgements before the Imperial Synod during the Spring Equinox.

Assembly	Consideration	Link	Duration
All Assemblies	Statements that prioritise the greater good over personal loyalties are less effective.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
All Assemblies	Statements that try to compel Loyalty will fail.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
All Assemblies	Revocations and Excommunications for disloyalty to the nation or Empire risk causing dissent.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
All Assemblies	Any mandate that does not pass with a greater majority will have limited or no effect on Urizen or Varushka. It is not impossible that a mandate might lead to a response in one of the two nations, but it won't lead to any immediate consequences for the people of the nation.	Urizen Link, Varushka Link.	Ongoing

Alternative Mandates
