	The Tribune will deduct the money or wains from the Virtue Fund, to be collected by the Member of the Synod who raised the judgement. These will be available to collect from the Tribune of the Synod in the Hub from 7:30pm Saturday. It is '''not''' possible for a judgement to specify that a reward be made at some future time beyond the close of scrutiny. The money or wains become immediately available and should be collected from the Tribune as soon as is practical. If the sum is not collected by the end of the summit, the Tribune will make arrangements to send the money or wains to the raising Member (OC: uncollected rewardings will be placed into the inventory of the raising priest and will go into their character pack at the next event they attend).

	It is common for individuals to ask for money or wains from the Virtue Fund for a specific goal.

	The General [[Assembly]] of the [[~~Imperial~~ Synod]] controls the Virtue Fund - a pool of money, Bourse materials and True Liao ([[mithril]], [[weirwood]] and [[white granite]]) endowed to the Synod so that they may directly reward virtuous behaviour. The mainstay of the money in the fund usually comes from the auction of a dose of [[liao#True Liao\|true liao]] but it is supplemented with donations of Imperial currency from wealthy citizens who wish to use the benefits of their prosperity to encourage virtue. A small number of these citizens are sufficiently wealthy to donate small quantities of mithril, weirwood or white granite, trusting the Synod to ensure these are put towards virtuous causes.

	The Virtue Fund exists to allow the Synod to encourage virtue, and to reward the virtuous. Judgements of Rewarding can only be raised in the General Assembly - despite historical interest from the Prosperity Assembly in bringing the Fund directly under their control. At various points the [[Senate]] has chosen to supplement the money raised by donations and auction with a [[New_Imperial_titles#Stipend\|stipend]] from the [[Imperial treasury]]. This practice began in the reign of [[Empress Teleri]] whose supporters argued that the Imperial Synod was best placed to ensure that the Empire's wealth was distributed to worthy and virtuous causes. The popularity of this practice has waxed and waned, but during the reign of [[Emperor Hugh]] the existing stipend, already little more than a token sum, was entirely abrogated.
