386YE Autumn Equinox Synod judgements

The Synod is sometimes called upon to make difficult decisions.

Overview

During the Autumn Equinox 386YE Summit, the Imperial Synod raised 216 judgements.

Veto

During the final Senate session of the Summer Solstice, Sabella of the Silent Tide declared their intent to seek the veto following the decision of the Imperial Senate to criminalize preaching the Way in Asavea.

Judgement 4

Assembly: General
Raised By: Tribune
Judgement: Sabella of the Silent Tide seeks the Veto as follows: I, your Cardinal of Loyalty, call for a Veto of the Senate motion to criminalize the Preaching of the Way in Asavea. The constitution says our destiny is to "spread across the face of Creation together in unity." Asavea is bound by slavers, denied its chance to grow. Aspar, former Cardinal of Wisdom, and Rafael barossa d'Apulian, Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Path, call us to reach out to the people of Asavea, Senate would make that illegal. Senate has had its say, it speaks with caution, knowing the costs. We commit to paying those costs. Virtuous Priests have made clear, by nine separate judgements, that preaching in Asavea is a virtuous and necessary thing. If you are Loyal to these Priests and this destiny, or feel that this law is unvirtuous for any reason, I ask you to vote to veto this motion.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (2880-140); a greater majority for this judgement was 2366 votes
Notes: The Synod vetoed the Senate motion, and it did not become law. Further discussion of the veto can be found in the Signal fire and Irreconcilable differences winds of fortune.

Mandate

Judgement 14

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Herminius of the House of the Wanderer

Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (306-0)
Enacted: Defends the borders of Morrow and Zenith, increasing the number of victory points required by the Druj to claim a beachhead, but also reduces taxation to the Imperial treasury by ten thrones. If a new Urizen territory gains a border with the Druj for some reason, the National Assembly can use the same mandate to ask the people of that nation to take up a new patrol. If a territory ceases to share a border with the Druj then the citizens will stop their patrols. As detailed in the You could be happy wind of fortune.

Judgement 23

Assembly: Dawn
Raised By: Earl Cerys de Rosier
Judgement: Be alert to all dangers; within and without. We send Ser Tunic of the Barrens with 50 liao to encourage the Vigilant to watch for the evil that seeks to enter our lands. Let us thwart malice before it strikes against us.
Outcome: Upheld (352-38)

Judgement 38

Assembly: General
Raised By: The Fool of Glory

Outcome: Not upheld (584-2502)
Not enacted. Would have caused people to accept that the real purpose of paragons and exemplars is to teach people how to live a Virtuous life, so it ultimately doesn't matter if they are real or not. See the True faith wind of fortune.

Judgement 60

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Icarus of the Sepulchre of the Red Suns
Judgement: There is no sacrifice so great that we cannot meet it to defeat this terror. We send Hazelelponi with 200 liao to urge every Highborn to prepare for the coming battle. No price is too high to realise our dreams.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (510-110); Margin 400
Enacted: Commits the Highborn to fighting the vallorn. The grey pilgrims will stop walking the trods; the number of armies that the Highborn can support increases from three to four. In the seasons to come, there will be fewer opportunities like the recent proposal to convert the Asaveans; instead every effort will be made to find new opportunities to gain the upper hand in the struggle against the vallorn. As detailed in the Summer Solstice wind of fortune The final countdown.

Judgement 80

Assembly: Varushka
Raised By: Amris Johan Merikovich
Judgement: Know your heart and what commands its devotion above all else. We send Amris Johann Merikovich with 50 liao to urge the Iron Helm to abandon cruelty and focus on the dark magics and curses of Varushka. Embrace your past; never be ashamed of it.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (342-0)
Enacted. The Iron Helms cease to be cruel, and can no longer carry out merciless onslaughts or any similar orders designed to break the enemies will. Next season, they will gain the opportunity to embrace one or another new qualities that focus on dark magics and curses. As detailed in the You could be happy wind of fortune.

Judgement 81

Assembly: League
Raised By: Ortenzia di Sarvos
Judgement: The greatest assets of the League are our ambition and ingenuity. We send Ortenzia di Sarvos with 50 liao to urge every citizen to commit everything to finding new ways to fight the vallorn. Even the most impenetrable forest may fall one tree at a time.
Outcome: Upheld (272-16)
Enacted: Commits the League to aid the Navarr in their fight against the vallorn, leading to one or more opportunities, and sets the tone for the League's participation in that campaign. For the next year, at least, no statement of principle raised by the League Assembly that calls on citizens to support another cause, be that civil or military, will produce an effect beyond Anvil. As detailed in the The Synod speaks wind of fortune.

Judgement 97

Assembly: Marches
Raised By: Grey Stone

Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (272-16)
Enacted. Persuades virtuous Marcher farmers to visit Mareave. Fewer pious farmers in the Marches applies a 1 rank penalty to every congregation in Mitwold and Upwold.

Judgement 110

Assembly: Freeborn
Raised By: Annalaya del-Toro

Judgement 122

Assembly: Navarr

Outcome: Upheld (306-10)
Enacted: Defends the borders of Therunin, once the territory is reclaimed and assuming it is assigned to Navarr. This increases the number of victory points required by the Druj to claim a beachhead, and reduces taxation to the Imperial treasury by five thrones.

Judgement 156

Assembly: Varushka
Raised By: Vaclav Mladenovich Kosti
Judgement: The greatest assets of Varushka are our Wisdom and resolve. We send Vaclav Mladenovich Kosti with 50 liao to urge every Varushkan to use our knowledge of the dark powers to choose the lesser of two evils. The virtuous apply what they have learned.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (280-12)
Enacted: Commits Varushka to aid the Navarr in their fight against the vallorn, leading to one or more opportunities, and sets the tone for Varushka's participation in that campaign.

As detailed in the You could be happy wind of fortune.

Judgement 211

Assembly: Imperial Orcs
Raised By: Bloodcrow Pip
Judgement: We are a nation, woven from six strong strands. Each sept has its own expertise, that will help us show the people of Mareave we are not their enemies. We send Skywise Tulva with 25 doses of liao to urge the Illarawm to seek ways we can make Mareave a home for our people by approaching the Brine Turtles peacefully and open negotiations. The Brine Turtles are now foreigners; let us in common pride of Mareave move forwards together.

Enacted: Asks members of the Illarawm sept to go to Mareave and try to establish communication with the Brine Turtle elders. As discussed in the Here to stay wind of fortune.

Revocation

Two judgements of revocation were presented to the assemblies during the Autumn Equinox.

Judgement 105

Assembly: Ambition
Raised By: Callista of the Dark Shard
Judgement: The revoke the Cardinal of Ambition Viviane Barossa de Coeurdefer. The cardinal has taken an aura of understanding upon herself to improve relations with a foreign nation. While this is "understandable" as the guiding light of Ambition in the Empire, we cannot hold her to uphold and lead us in ambition whilst under this influence.
Outcome: Not Upheld (200-170)

Judgement 127

Assembly: Marches
Raised By: John Sawyer
Judgement: We, the Marcher assembly, move to revoke Hal Talbot as Senator to Mitwold. It is clear that Hal was unprepared for the responsibilities that come with such a title and thus ill-equipped to stand alongside the other elected officials who have done and continue to do so much for our nation. I urge you to set aside your personal feelings towards this individual who has shown loyalty to his house but great disloyalty to his nation. He has yet to show willing to support his own territory, let alone the Marches, and should be removed from his position until such a time as he is prepared to make virtuous decisions on behalf of Mitwold.
Outcome: Upheld (108-16)
Notes: This revocation condemns Hal Talbot for a lack of loyalty to their nation - in this case the Marches. Since Summer 383YE, when the Assembly of Loyalty embraced the Eyes of Loyalty, any Revocations and Excommunications for disloyalty to the nation or Empire would risk causing dissent. The revocation is upheld - the impact of the Eyes of Loyalty has no legal implication - but it is likely the Assembly of Loyalty will be called on to consider a response to a judgement that appears to attempt to compel an individual's loyalty.

Special Considerations

The following considerations should be borne in mind when bringing judgements before the Imperial Synod during the Autumn 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
All Assemblies	Statements that stress the need to follow Imperial law rather than virtue will be unlikely to lead to a mandate.	Knocking on every door.	Ongoing
