Mrdaniel: /* Arrivals from Faraden */

A Blight in Miaren

2015-05-15T13:07:42Z

==Poor Timing==
<ic>
Gwynneth sprinted out of the Steading with the sound of her sister's pained shouting in her ears. The contractions were coming hard and strong now. It would not be much longer. Gwynneth had felt distinctly uncomfortable standing around and not knowing what to do.

Then the marrowort had worn off, and no longer shielded Caedyyfryn from the pain. Gwynneth had been almost laughably grateful to be sent running to fetch more marrowort. It was useful and purposeful.

Rushing through the mud, Gwynneth stopped short at the herb garden and plucked the pale plant. She was about to turn and sprint back when something caught her eye. She paused reached out and turned over another pale marrowort leaf. There, beneath the leaf was soft, white, hairy fungus.

Gwynneth cursed aloud, but then her sister's cries grabbed her attention back again. Biting her lip, Gwynneth ran back to the house. One challenge at a time.
</ic>

Navarr walking the trods of Miaren have reported sudden blights of Armillaria. Armillaria is a parasitic fungus that is suspected to have been altered by exposure to the Realm of Spring. Its has a white and furry appearance and it aggressively attacks herbs, specifically Marrowort. A blight of Armillaria fungus can significantly harm the productivity of herb gardens.

Although deadly to herbs, Armilliaria fungus is a natural medicinal for livestock and it can promote health, fertility and wellbeing that increases the productivity of farms. Farmers will be able to benefit from this informally, however a coordinated effort can be arranged through the Senate could promote farm productivity more aggressively.

Armillaria fungus is fairly fragile, and will last only about three months and cannot be easily transported long distances. Consequently, its effects will not last beyond the Summer Solstice, and are unlikely to extend beyond territories adjacent to Miaren.

Interestingly, Armillaria fungus does not attack trees or forests. Scholars discovered that worldblood - known as Ambergelt - is toxic to it. This discovery has meant that it is possible to extract worldblood and use it against Armillaria. The utilisation of magical resources in this way requires the support of the Conclave.

Based on past experience, the civil service estimates that if no action is taken then herb gardens in Miaren will produce less Marrowort[1] but farms will benefit from the medicinal properties of the fungus[2]. In the past, the Empire has responded to similar situations in the following ways:

* The Senate can pass a motion to harvest the Armillaria fungus specifically to capitalise on the benefit to livestock. For a disbursement of 9 Thrones the impact on herb gardens would be reduced[3], and the benefit to farms would be increased.[4]

* The Senate could alternative pass a motion to deliberately infect a single neighbouring territory to Miaren with Armillaria spores. For a disbursement of 4 Thrones a territory adjacent to Miaren could be affected by the fungus in the same way that Miaren is. There is no limit on the number of territories that could be infected in this manner.

* The Conclave could declare a Gambit of 19 ambergelt per affected territory to use that ambergelt to kill the fungus. This would eliminate the impact, both good and ill. Multiple territories could be named in a single Gambit but would require the necessary multiples of ambergelt. In all cases, the Gambit would need to name a person for collecting and distributing the ambergelt who would ensure it is in their inventory at the end of the summit and then notify the civil service between summits of their intentions.[5]

* It has been hypothesised that if the Empire can attract its attention then [[Llofir]], Eternal of Spring known as the ''Rotlord'' or ''Lady of Spores'', could influence Armillaria fungus for good or ill. What Llofir would want for its intervention, if it could intervene, is unknown.

* Use of the ritual [[Ruthless Vigilance, Healthy Crop]] would offset the impact of the fungus for an individual herb garden, whilst improving the production of other types of herb.

The above represent tried and tested responses to potential Armillaria blight. Other options can be put to the civil service for consideration, and costing, via the usual means.

==Footnotes==
* [1] -2 marrowort per herb garden in affected territory
* [2] +30 rings to farms in affected territory
* [3] Marrowort penalty reduced to -1 per herb garden
* [4] Benefit to affected farms increased to +50 rings
* [5] No loss to marrowort, no benefit to farms

Mrdaniel: /* A Curse on Sermersuaq */

==The Winds of War==
The wars with the barbarian orcs continue. More will be reported soon.

==Opportunities==
Over the past three months, the following events have occurred which are of significance to the Empire and may require a response from her champions:

===A Miracle in Hahnmark===
Miraculous auras of Prosperity have arisen within mines across Hahnmark. This has seen an influx of workers rushing to mine work with an increase in production, but has left local businesses short of labour. There is more information regarding this wondrous event [[A Miracle in Hahnmark|here]].

===A Blight in Miaren===
Reports have reached the civil service that a rare form of fungus has started to sprout within Miaren, and that this is having an adverse effect on her gardens in the area. However, this fungus is a natural medicinal for livestock which makes it sought after by farmers. There is more information [[A Blight in Miaren|here]].

===Arrivals from Faraden===
Positive diplomatic relations between the Empire, combined with domestic troubles, has seen an influx of Faraden immigrants landing in the Bay of Catazar, which can potentially have a positive economic effect for the coastal territories, but which has presented some challenges to the culture and traditions of the Empire until they have become fully acclimated. There is more information regarding this event [[Arrivals from Faraden|here]].

==Events==
The following represent significant events, sometimes of a magical nature, that do not have obvious solutions.

===A Curse on Sermersuaq===
The citizens of Sermersuaq report a terrible affliction, as though the whole territory has been cursed. The ancestral home of the Suaq people is scoured by storms and snows not typically seen in Spring. A powerful force has affected the flows of mana and depleted them resulting in fewer mana crystals being produced.

Simultaneously, this storm appears to also be taking place within the body and soul of magicians within Sermersuaq. There have been reports of magicians feeling restless and uncomfortable, punctuated with bursts of being depressed and lethargic (excluding the briars) or sometimes short tempered and aggressive. ('''Note: The effect to which these roleplay effects endure in magicians travelling from Sermersuaq to Anvil is entirely at the discretion of the player. Where a player chooses this effect to be in place, it can be overcome in the usual ways.''')

A Miracle in Hahnmark

2015-05-15T12:56:54Z

==Miracle in Hahnmark==
<ic>
Ville paused to wipe the sweat from his brow, and stretched his back. Instead of the ache of his muscles, they felt almost as though they glowed. A warm sensation filled Ville and it felt good. Somehow, Ville knew without knowing how, that the harder his muscles ached, the better it would feel. Alongside that, it was almost as though he could hear the weltsilver calling to him, inviting him to free it from the grasp of cold, unyielding, stone.

Ville looked to his left and he could see that Needa felt it too. Grinning the pair hefted their picks and struck again and again.
</ic>

Word is spreading of Weltsilver mines in Hahnmark spontaneously generating auras consistent with the Virtue of [[Prosperity]]. Miners have reported feeling enervated and enjoyment from mining the reddish glistening ore, which has increased their enthusiasm for the work. Consequently, these miraculous auras have significantly increased the productivity of those mines. As a byproduct of this, there has been an increase in religious zeal in the area, and attendance - and associated influence - of congregations has also increased.

There have been some complaints from businesses across the territory who have found that there has been a migration of labour to mine working, which has left them short-handed an affected output. The shift in labour is credited to a mixture of a belief in the more virtuous nature of the work, and the positive sensations generated.

Events of this nature, whilst uncommon, are certainly not unheard of and attest to the positive benefits of the Virtues in this life, and all others. There is talk that these aura stem from a forgotten Wintermark Paragon of Prosperity, who perhaps displayed signs of ''benevolence'' and ''legacy'' through the mastery of weltsilver. There are no surviving records of such. Following recent events, this has caused some debate over whether they were Kallavesi, Steinr or Suaq.

Based off similar events in the lifetime of the Empire, the civil service predicts that if no action is taken, then the effect will be a major increase in the productivity of Weltsilver mines[1], and moderate increase in the attendance and influence of congregations in Hahnmark[2], but a moderate downturn in Hahnmark businesses[3]

There have been times in the Empire's history when the citizens have wanted to take action, and examples of this have included:

* Back in the time of the Emperor Giovanni the Peacemaker, the decision was taken by the Senate that as one group of citizens was blessed, another should not be short changed. A Senate Motion disbursed funds to offer a subsidy for recruitment that allowed businesses to compete. The civil service estimates that this would cost 47 Thrones and the effect would be that the mines would only benefit by a moderate amount[4], but that the impact on businesses would be negated, and the effect on congregations would remain. Theoretically, the General Assembly of the Synod could also make such a payment using the Synod Power of Rewarding.

* Although the spontaneous auras are confined to the Weltsilver mines, in similar situations the Assembly of Prosperity has been able to capitalise on this and - using priestly auras - spread the benefit more widely. A Statement of Principle from the Assembly of Prosperty could name a person - capable of raising consecrations - who could coordinate the consecrations of other mines so that the auras demonstrate the value of all mine working. The civil service estimates the named priest would need around 24 liao to spread this benefit sufficiently. The effect would be that the major benefit experienced by weltsilver mines would apply to all types of mine[5].

* Spiritual events also lend themselves to opportunities for missionary work to spread, and reinforce, the benefits of a Virtuous Life. A disbursement of 8 Thrones from a Senate Motion or Virtue Fund Rewarding could support this work so that the effect can be spread to include a single named territory adjacent to Hahnmark. The territory would need to be named in the Motion or the Judgment of Rewarding.[6]

* More controversially, during the reign of Empress Varkula, a Cardinal of the Way - an Urizen Illuminate suspected of Lucidianism - called for the exorcism of a spontaneous aura of Ambition as actually being disruptive to the functioning of the Empire. This would require a Statement of Principle from either the Wintermark National Assembly, or a Virtue Assembly, which would name a person who would take responsibility for the exorcism of the auras. The named person would need around 14 liao to ensure the exorcism of the auras ensuring the current effect be nullified.[7] '''Note:''' The exorcism of a spontaneously arising virtuous aura is currently classed as the religious crime of Desecration and individuals doing so may be condemned by the Synod if they do not have an legal exemption from the Senate

The above options are the lessons learned across the history of the Empire. The civil service does not expect that this is an exhaustive or absolute list. Costings for Senate Motions, Conclave Gambits or Synod Rewardings can be requested from the civil service at the Hub. Other actions taken by Imperial citizens may also be taken into account.

==Footnotes==
* [1] +4 resources to Weltsilver mines in affected territory
* [2] +1 liao and +2 influence to congregations in affected territory
* [3] -33 Rings to affected businesses
* [4] Benefit to affected mines falls to +2 resources, but no impact on businesses
* [5] +4 resources to all types of mines in affected territory; not just weltsilver
* [6] The effect also covers a territory adjacent to Hahnmark
* [7] No impact on mines, businesses or congregations

target territory is scoured with unpleasant weather, and magicians in the area begin to feel increasingly uncomfortable. In some cases they become depressed and lethargic, in others short tempered and aggressive.

All mana sites in the territory provide only half as many mana crystals as they would otherwise produce in the coming season. The ritual may also damage weak regio, as well as encouraging some magical beasts to either become lethargic or dangerously aggressive.

==Statements of Principle==

{|
| '''Number''' || '''Assembly''' || '''Statement of Principle''' || '''Priest''' || '''Outcome'''
|-
| 6 || General || As Followers of The Way, we have a duty to save souls even at the cost of lives. We support the actions of Urizen in Spiral. || Upheld 393 - 78
|-
| 11 || Highguard National || Providing the grave goods of Empress Britta to an inhuman entity within the Kallavesi Swamp goes against the Doctrine of Human Destiny, insults Imperial Pride, questions Imperial Courage, lacks Prosperity in the waste of Britta's tomb, and lacks Vigilance in agreeing to the demands of an inhuman and unknown entity || Esau of Felix's Watch || Upheld 196 - 0
|-
| 12 || Highguard National || The Nation of Highguard owes thanks to [[378YE Winter Solstice Synod judgments/list of names|all those who assisted in the safe recovery of Permion the Navigator, Exemplar of Courage.]] || Asher of Felix's Watch || Upheld 208 - 0
|-
| 14 || Imperial Orc || When I see the Winter Sun battle, it is something for the entire nation to be proud of. I see in the heat of combat, every virtus displayed and it fills my heart with Pride. I feel the Winter Sun are a fine example of orc battle tactics and warfare and that it would be good to share this experience, wisdom, courage and vigilance with others so that our nation, our Empire, can prosper from our Loyalty. Our Ambition should be for all to benefit from our strength and ability, for what is knowledge if it is not used or shared. || Atla || Upheld 10 - 0
|-
| 16 || Pride || The Assembly of Pride would like to recognise the success of the Brass Coast in reclaiming their lost territory || Lilian || Upheld 47 - 10
|-
| 17 || General || Statements of Principle should only make one single point || Wyr of the Navarr || Upheld 196 - 96
|-
| 18 || General || When any person stands for a Synod position, on the judgment form where they put themselves forward for election, they must clearly state any condemnations that have been passed against them || Irada-Catchie Von Temeschwar || Upheld 367 - 70
|-
| 19 || General || The Denigration of a Relic is to be treated as equal to the denigration of the Paragon and is therefore blasphemy || Yael of Felix's Watch || Upheld 186 - 138
|-
| 20 || General || That which is good for the true pursuit of The Way of Virtue is good for the Empire. If revelations on the nature of The Way should come into conflict with the principles of the Empire, it is the Empire that must change || Isaac Carlino di Sarvos || Upheld 319 - 36
|-
| 21 || General || The claiming of souls by the Eternal Kaela must be acted upon by the Conclave || Harald Johnson || Upheld 259 - 56
|-
| 23 || General || In the interests of wisdom and vigilance within the Synod, experimental theologians are encouraged to inform the General Assembly of the results of their experiments || Noah || Upheld 245 - 23
|-
| 25 || Marcher Assembly || It is commonly held that some briar burials taint the land, yet a Marcher must be buried in Marcher soil. These conflict. We declare that this taint is not inherent to briar nature. Instead, it is the product of malign spiritual presences of Hatred and Vengeance, which are encouraged through life as a Marcher Briar. A Virtuous briar can overcome this and, as guardians of Marcher souls, it is our duty to aid them in this. Priests of the Marches must ensure that briars have an appropriate resting place, with dignity. Dependent on local circumstances, suggestions are within the hedgerows, in an orchard surrounded by flowing water, a normal orchard or burial of ashes || Edward Watcher || Upheld 62 - 0
|-
| 27 || General || High Inquisitor Petra stated that "Senator Dusan, Senator for Miekarova, has been found unoworthy of their position due to a fundamental lack of virtue", at 2.30pm on Sunday in a document circulated by Falstino Toliccu von Tassotto, upon her request and payment, before the Synod vote on the matter closed. Three others were named also; some of which were not inquisited directly || Fr Drakov || ''Outcome needs checking''
|-
| 28 || Loyalty || We the Assembly of Loyalty wish to recognize the Loyalty displayed by the fighting citizens of Dawn, the Marches, Navarr, the League and the Imperial Orcs for their successful and valiant defence pf the vulnerable and besieged ritualists at the Battle of Reikos || Oberon Caeli di Rezia || Upheld 113 - 0
|-
| 29 || Courage || Lazarus of Cantiarch's Hold and all our departed brothers and sisters who have fallen in Reikos and have been unable to enter the Labyrinth due to the actins of the barbarian orcs: You have not been forgotten. Have Courage || Nina || Upheld 94 - 0
|-
| 36 || General || The General Assembly does not intend to veto the Senate Motion to address the boggart issue in Morrow || Hector de Rondell || Upheld 350 - 10
|-
| 37 || Vigilance || Naming Vitomir Vardov of Varushka as the priest responsible for coordinating consecrations and exorcisms across Miekarova to act against the Anarchy cultists in that area || Abraham || 94 - 0
|-
|}

The Imperial Synod did '''not''' make the following Statements of Principle:

{|
| '''Number''' || '''Assembly''' || '''Statement of Principle''' || '''Priest''' || '''Outcome'''
|-
| 30 || General || The Synod supports the creation of more priest sinecures to enable long serving priests who have armed their congregations in support of the Empire to continue functioning as priests. || Tarquinius Ankarien || Not upheld 242 - 211
|-
| 31 || General || The role of High Inquisitor is to initially offer recommendations to '''only''' the parties that could '''act''' on the findings, e.g. a recommendation of revocation of a senator to be given to the relevant National Assembly || Agnieszka Katrinova Prochnost || Not Upheld 330 - 138
|}

| '''Number''' || '''Assembly''' || '''Statement of Principle''' || '''Priest''' || '''Outcome'''
|-
| 6 || General || As Followers of The Way, we have a duty to save souls even at the cost of lives. We support the actions of Urizen in Spiral. || Upheld 393 - 78
|-
| 11 || Highguard National || Providing the grave goods of Empress Britta to an inhuman entity within the Kallavesi Swamp goes against the Doctrine of Human Destiny, insults Imperial Pride, questions Imperial Courage, lacks Prosperity in the waste of Britta's tomb, and lacks Vigilance in agreeing to the demands of an inhuman and unknown entity || Esau of Felix's Watch || Upheld 196 - 0
|-
| 12 || Highguard National || The Nation of Highguard owes thanks to [[378YE Winter Solstice Synod judgments/list of names|all those who assisted in the safe recovery of Permion the Navigator, Exemplar of Courage.]] || Asher of Felix's Watch || Upheld 208 - 0
|-
| 14 || Imperial Orc || When I see the Winter Sun battle, it is something for the entire nation to be proud of. I see in the heat of combat, every virtus displayed and it fills my heart with Pride. I feel the Winter Sun are a fine example of orc battle tactics and warfare and that it would be good to share this experience, wisdom, courage and vigilance with others so that our nation, our Empire, can prosper from our Loyalty. Our Ambition should be for all to benefit from our strength and ability, for what is knowledge if it is not used or shared. || Atla || Upheld 10 - 0
|-
| 16 || Pride || The Assembly of Pride would like to recognise the success of the Brass Coast in reclaiming their lost territory || Lilian || Upheld 47 - 10
|-
| 17 || General || Statements of Principle should only make one single point || Wyr of the Navarr || Upheld 196 - 96
|-
| 18 || General || When any person stands for a Synod position, on the judgment form where they put themselves forward for election, they must clearly state any condemnations that have been passed against them || Irada-Catchie Von Temeschwar || Upheld 367 - 70
|-
| 19 || General || The Denigration of a Relic is to be treated as equal to the denigration of the Paragon and is therefore blasphemy || Yael of Felix's Watch || Upheld 186 - 138
|-
| 20 || General || That which is good for the true pursuit of The Way of Virtue is good for the Empire. If revelations on the nature of The Way should come into conflict with the principles of the Empire, it is the Empire that must change || Isaac Carlino di Sarvos || Upheld 319 - 36
|-
| 21 || General || The claiming of souls by the Eternal Kaela must be acted upon by the Conclave || Harald Johnson || Upheld 259 - 56
|-
| 23 || General || In the interests of wisdom and vigilance within the Synod, experimental theologians are encouraged to inform the General Assembly of the results of their experiments || Noah || Upheld 245 - 23
|-
| 25 || Marcher Assembly || It is commonly held that some briar burials taint the land, yet a Marcher must be buried in Marcher soil. These conflict. We declare that this taint is not inherent to briar nature. Instead, it is the product of malign spiritual presences of Hatred and Vengeance, which are encouraged through life as a Marcher Briar. A Virtuous briar can overcome this and, as guardians of Marcher souls, it is our duty to aid them in this. Priests of the Marches must ensure that briars have an appropriate resting place, with dignity. Dependent on local circumstances, suggestions are within the hedgerows, in an orchard surrounded by flowing water, a normal orchard or burial of ashes || Edward Watcher || Upheld 62 - 0
|-
| 27 || General || High Inquisitor Petra stated that "Senator Dusan, Senator for Miekarova, has been found unoworthy of their position due to a fundamental lack of virtue", at 2.30pm on Sunday in a document circulated by Falstino Toliccu von Tassotto, upon her request and payment, before the Synod vote on the matter closed. Three others were named also; some of which were not inquisited directly || Fr Drakov || ''Outcome needs checking''
|-
| 28 || Loyalty || We the Assembly of Loyalty wish to recognize the Loyalty displayed by the fighting citizens of Dawn, the Marches, Navarr, the League and the Imperial Orcs for their successful and valiant defence pf the vulnerable and besieged ritualists at the Battle of Reikos || Oberon Caeli di Rezia || Upheld 113 - 0
|-
| 29 || Courage || Lazarus of Cantiarch's Hold and all our departed brothers and sisters who have fallen in Reikos and have been unable to enter the Labyrinth due to the actins of the barbarian orcs: You have not been forgotten. Have Courage || Nina || Upheld 94 - 0
|-
| 36 || General || The General Assembly does not intend to veto the Senate Motion to address the boggart issue in Morrow || Hector de Rondell || Upheld 350 - 10
|-
| 37 || Vigilance || Naming Vitomir Vardov of Varushka as the priest responsible for coordinating consecrations and exorcisms across Miekarova to act against the Anarchy cultists in that area || Abraham || 94 - 0
|-
