XX statements of principle were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 11

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Dagon of the Shattered Tower
• Judgement: Loyalty is displayed not by words or deeds alone, but by the unity of both. The Faraden have asked for us to join them in preaching to their citizens, we must rise to the occasion and in Loyalty we will help build them up and stand strong. We must take action and work together in resisting the deplorable influence of Asavea. The chains of Loyalty reach across borders and together we will show the Plenum just how strong those chains truly are.
• Outcome: Upheld (322-28)
• Notes: Endorses members of the Synod visiting Faraden to preach Loyalty, as per the A pillow of winds wind of fortune

Judgement 16

• Assembly: Courage
• Raised By: Damascius
• Judgement: The Assembly of Courage calls on priests of our path to join in pilgrimage to Faraden, there to preach Courage to those Virtuous souls we find there. We must bolster our cousins who have found - or are ready to find - True Virtue in Faraden as they face the insidious lies of Asavean heretics. Every soul set upon the Paths of Virtue is our victory!
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (218-18)
• Notes: Endorses members of the Synod visiting Faraden to preach Courage, as per the A pillow of winds wind of fortune

Judgement 61

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Kaywenn de Orzel
• Judgement: Do not be complacent; ever stride for excellence in that of which you are Proud. We cannot be complacent in spreading the Way, and preaching Pride to the citizens of Faraden. We send priests of the Assembly to support these efforts, to bring the light of the Way to all.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (236-10)
• Notes: Endorses members of the Synod visiting Faraden to preach Pride, as per the A pillow of winds wind of fortune

Judgement 78

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Darian Numbers
• Judgement: The Prosperity Assembly should support Faraden attempts to resist Asavean preaching. Their cleaving to vengeance may be heretical for those that follow that path, but they're closer to the true Way now than they would be if the Asavean Idolators get a grip on their theology. Not one step back, even if it means the next step forward is harder.
• Outcome: Upheld (292-20)
• Notes: Endorses members of the Synod visiting Faraden to preach Prosperity, as per the A pillow of winds wind of fortune
