Change of Doctrine

Judgement 7

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Erasmo di Tassato
• Judgement: It has been hundreds of years since the Doctrine of Seven was codified. The Virtuous apply what they have learned; Wisdom knows all knowledge is incomplete. The core of our faith, the Seven Virtues, remain strong - we add context to better reflect what we now know. We update the Doctrine of Seven
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (2039-358)
• Notes: This judgement amends the Doctrine of Seven. The full implications of this change to the Doctrines of the Faith will be felt over the coming months.

The Doctrine of Seven

The Seven Virtues - Ambition, Courage, Loyalty, Pride, Prosperity, Vigilance, and Wisdom - offer guidance and spiritual strength to humans and orcs through our lives and deaths. Each inspires us to constructive action, bringing great benefit to those who follow them and enriching the world. False virtues and malign spiritual forces are detrimental: discouraging action, removing individual choice, bringing destruction, harming their followers, or those around them.

Veto

Judgement 119

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Catena
• Judgement: This assembly votes to veto the relinquishment of Thornfen to Axos
• Outcome: Not upheld (62-206)

Statement of Principle

Judgement 6

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Melkior of Balthazar's Vineyard
• Judgement: The city state of Beoraidh may be small, but it represents a powerful opportunity for the spreading of The One True Way, the likes of which has ne'er before been seen. Our neighbours have marked off their land and opened their arms to a Basilica of the Way in the heart of their grand city. Amidst travellers and traders from all countries and walks of life, a shining beacon to our faith shall stand, built in the style of our Unshackled siblings and their fervent and beautiful expression of belief. We, the General Assembly of the Synod, note the opportunity that the construction of this Basilica offers, and urge the faithful of the Empire to all they can to assist in its completion and future operation
• Outcome: Upheld (1635-204)
• Notes: This judgement was elevated by Dagon Barossa, the Cardinal of Loyalty

Judgement 8

• Assembly: Marcher
• Raised By: Brother Luke
• Judgement: The Marcher Assembly extends a hand to our brethren, offering an invitation to Hap the Soft and any Marcher Orcs who wish to attend the Symposium of Proscriptions. They have shown Pride in their beliefs. Their voices firm and loud. Our duty is to further uplift Marcher voices to a cacophony that the Empire cannot ignore. They shall be heard and we shall endure it.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (192-0)
• Notes: Hap the Soft is the owner of the Golden Hoof and a well-respected voice of the Marcher orcs. The symposium of proscriptions is due to take place at the Summer Solstice 388YE.

Judgement 9

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Aldwyn the Glorious
• Judgement: The battle in which Helgunn Chargebringer fell, Wintermark was left without a leader in a critical moment. Into that breach stepped Eisa Iron Lungs, whose clear voice and command saved many Winterfolk lives and halted a rout. Since then she has continued to lead her nation and Empire in battle with great Courage and Loyalty repeatedly serving as Field Marshal, and vaunted as a true leader by the egregores. As such, it is with great Pride that we enter Eisa Iron Lungs into the Chronicle of Heroes
• Outcome: Upheld (226-0)
• Notes: Eisa Iron Lungs has been added to the Chronicle of Heroism

Judgement 10

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Sychar of Ebon's Hall
• Judgement: Agramant has sent his servants to 'aid' Imperial citizens abandoned in Therunin. This must shame us. Highguard cannot tolerate a monster such as the Abominable One being seen as a rescuer while the Empire's own people suffer. Highguard has chapters, military units, congregations, physicks, priests, pilgrims, the Unconquered and more. We can send virtuous aid where aid is desperately needed. So let Highguard act! Let our citizens escort the refugees and support the healers of High Chalcis, while our chapters and military units aid the Navarri in escaping Therunin. The hungry, frightened, and desperate must find Imperial support. We will deny Agramant the worship of desperation. Only actions are virtuous. If we would calls ourselves guardians of the Empire's soul, then we must prove it where that soul is endangered.
• Outcome: Upheld (216-0)
• Notes: References the ongoing situation in Therunin, most recently the claim from Agramant that the eternal considers the territory to be "fair game".

Judgement 11

• Assembly: Dawnish
• Raised By: Alys de Renard
• Judgement: To be glorious is to be Dawnish. It is an inevitability of our personnage, it is a pillar of our nation, yet a darkness gathers at our door. The Whisper Gallery seeks friendship from our nation. We must not work with them. Priests of Dawn, we must take arms against this threat, and encourage others to as well, for what eclipses glory more than what the Whisper Gallery venerates: secrecy.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (372-76)

Judgement 14

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Tabris, Son of Armisael
• Judgement: When the Vallorn of Therunin presented those standing against it with an abomination that carried a Miasma Pillar, 20 Soldiers of the Pilgrim's Defiance volunteered to face it down. All 20 of them returned to the Labyrinth to ensure its threat was ended. Their names should be recorded by the Archivists. Their Courage should be Exalted by the Pilgrims. And when the time is right, and the infestation of East Ashes is cleared, their remains should be recovered for the Stewards of the Dead, so their deeds can never be forgotten.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (530-0)
• Notes: This judgement makes reference to the abomination that was encountered and defeated by Imperial forces during the siege of Mudlark's Haven.

Judgement 15

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Eurybia Mecampus
• Judgement: The Urizen National Assembly approves the awarding of the Golden Cascade to Twyll of the Eternal Family. His boundless prosperity in defiance of the vallorn will be much needed in the future and his generous support in completing the Beneficiary of the Golden Cascade proves himself a virtuous friend and ally of Urizen. Citizens of Zenith - withness your donations in use.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (190-0)

Judgement 20

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Nicodemus of Balthazar's Vineyard
• Judgement: The Way and the Empire are a not a monolith, but a mosaic construct of profound, and beautiful traditions, human and orc, united nonetheless by faith, Synod and Doctrine. The life and worship of the greatest monument must reflect and and celebrate this diversity in order to truly uplift every soul in the Empire. Therefore, we look to the Senate to ensure that the completed Grand Inspiration is governed by a college of residentiary Canons, one elected by each National Assembly, and led by a Dean chosen by the Assembly of Nine, who will together be charged with this sacred task. Let us show that the past, present, and future of the Way is here in th ten Proud nations of the Empire who stand together in Virtue.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (440-62)

Judgement 25

• Assembly: Wisdom
• Raised By: Mael of the Shattered Tower
• Judgement: BEHOLD: VIRTUE! As the MARSHAL of the FAITH, I bid ye witness that the following were multiply commended by diverse FIELD MARSHALS and COMMANDERS for their WISDOM and BRAVERY in recent battles: EISA IRONLUNGS, SERAFINA SEMENOV, DAME KATELYN CORDRACO, NEVE AGRA, the runner SASHKO and the SENTINEL'S TOWER. The IMPERIAL AUXILIARIES are commended for tireless running with extremely limited numbers in unfamiliar terrain. The Marshal personally commends WILLIAM GUILDENSTERN for his AMBITION and for holding himself accountable. Virtue is found in what is learned from a defeat as well as what is gained from victory. A fuller list of commendations may be found on the Synod Notices.
• Outcome: Upheld (222-0)

Judgement 27

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
• Judgement: Completing the Grand Inspiration of the Way is a lofty goal, but nothing is beyond the grasp of the Virtuous. The Hallowing of the Patron drives us to silence naysayers, and what better way than to complete this inspiration project within the year? It will draw the eyes of the world to us, establishing Bastion as the heart of the Way. From there, our faith will spread across the globe. This is our highest calling!
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (394-82)
• Notes: Refers to the Grand Inspiration of the Way. Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 29

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Dagon of the Shattered Tower
• Judgement: Loyalty is the link from one heart to another, guiding us on the path of Virtue. Alberto Acciai - Exemplar of Loyalty - followed his heart. Inspired by his cousin, Alberto broke the chains of the downtrodden and struck against the Plenum, freeing slaves from their tyrant masters and breaking two Asavean armies. Through Loyalty, Alberto shared the gift of the Way with the people of Marilen, and inspired others to rise up in Virtue. Two years ago we committed to continuing the work of Alberto and Amika. Asavea will be transformed through Virtue, the truly Virtuous are Loyal even in times of hardship! We must stand by our commitment, and finish the war the Empire started. We will bring Virtue to Asavea, no matter the cost. We devote our hearts to this task. This is our Highest Calling.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (390-26)
• Notes: Refers to efforts to efforts to anchor the Way in Asavea. Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 31

• Assembly: Varushkan
• Raised By: Katya Vasillova Reznikov
• Judgement: Prosperity is not measured by wealth possessed but by putting it to worthy purpose. Mayra Zoronova Prochnost demonstrated this principle through labour, sacrifice, and stewardship. They gathered funds and resources for the Boyar's Hasta army, supported the preparation of Varushkan military units for the campaign concerning the face-peelers in Ossium and Karsk, before committing personal and donated resources towards the ritual Merciless Wrath of the Reaver. We declare Prosperity is realised when citizens place their wealth, labour and influence in service to others and the Empire. We celebrate and lift up Mayra as an example of a prosperous citizen and encourage others to do the same.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (200-30)

Judgement 41

• Assembly: Wisdom
• Raised By: Asthore Autumngale
• Judgement: Wisdom teaches us to test and apply what we have learned, for it is always incomplete. Nowhere is this more true than in the actions of our enemies. What is not known cannot be fought without needless loss of Imperial lives. Questions rise anew with each strike against - or from - our wars against barbarian and vallorn alike. The Way cannot spread, cannot be known beyond our current borders, without the wars we fight; we cannot fight these wars, both current and future, without the knowledge to support our forces. The Ministry of Historical Research and the Empire's prognosticators tirelessly collate and unearth knowledge of our enemies, but their work is endlessly unfinished. Supporting the efforts and research of those institutions and the study of these foes embodies the teachings of Wisdom. This is our highest calling.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (296-74)
• Notes: Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 44

• Assembly: Imperial Orc
• Raised By: Bloodcrow Udoo
• Judgement: "I am walking towards a bridge of renown across an Abyss that only cares for my legend." Bloodcrow Knott Ancestor of the Sunstorm Sept. Learn and share his tale and name. Know well his soul. Celebrate his life and deeds. For we do hear his voice. Bloodcrow Knott. An ancestor of the Sunstorm
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (44-10)
• Notes: The words of Bloodcrow Knott have been added to the Annals of the Ancestors

Judgement 46

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Elagabala
• Judgement: Chastise the folly of Brannan, in Sarangrave or wherever it raises it's head. We call on priests of the Empire to support Imperial soldiers who have fought in the Sarangrave against subsuming their will and personalities to the intoxication of Summer magic's Knights of Glory, through liao and pastoral support. Virtue demands we ensure that their capacity for rational, virtuous choice and for choosing to accept orders are not impeded. We must ask the right questions: Why the Sarangrave? What would cause this to occur elsewhere? How can we best support the minds and spirits of our warriors, both today and tomorrow?
• Outcome: Upheld (1152-140)
• Notes: This judgement was elevated by Silas of the Cenotaph, the Cardinal of Wisdom

Judgement 47

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Doctor Lysimachus
• Judgement: There at times is a perception amongst t'other nations that us highborn are a bunch of dour humourless types with sticks lodged in places things shouldn't be lodged (outside private consenting activity). The implication that we are such because we are a nation determined to be Virtuous in our actions implies a) a lack of understanding of the Way and b) that most folk who say this haven't actually spoken to most Highborn. Just because one is serious about virtue doesn't mean we lack humour, joy and all t'other stuff that makes a virtuous life enjoyable. So go out there me highborn siblings, let the nations see that while we work hard, we play hard, and that are capabile of living, laughing, and loving life as anyone else.
• Outcome: Upheld (356-32)

Judgement 49

• Assembly: Marcher
• Raised By: Larkin Otterways
• Judgement: Marchers! Look to the loyal example of your generals. Look to the virtues in your pursuit of Stephen of Sarcombe. Despise treachery; the strongest may err, but deceivers will lie again.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (172-0)
• Notes: The location of the yegarra Stephen of Sarcombe is currently unknown; he was last seen during the battle of Two Barrel Field during the Winter Solstice 387YE

Judgement 50

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Veikko Bondforger
• Judgement: In my power as Keeper of Oaths, I commit the following Oath from Emperor Vesna to the Forge of Bonds. The Oath of Office of Emperor Vesna: I vow to stand side-by-side with my subjects and uphold what it means to be Imperial. I will recognise the virtue in struggle, service, and in hard choices made for the good of all. I will honour our oaths and treaties, act with virtue to all peoples, and extend the hand of friendship to those who would walk beside us. I will offer the hospitality of the hearth to the vulnerable, the disillusioned, and those who turn from us, and ensure that there is a place for all within the Empire. I vow to stand steadfast in the pursuit of strengthening this Empire, to place the needs of the Empire before my own, and to act with Courage, Wisdom, and Loyalty in all things so long as I am Emperor.
• Outcome: Upheld (234-10)
• Notes: The oath of Emperor Vesna has been added to the Forge of Bonds

Judgement 52

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Ehud
• Judgement: Our ancestors worked in virtue in order to build the wealth and privilege that we benefit from today, both as a nation and an Empire. We recognise that there are others whose work was exploited, possessed and owned against their will, namely the predecessors of the nation we now call the Imperial Orcs. Without their blood, their sweat, and their tears, Highguard would not have been as affluent as we have been. While we as individuals are not to blame for that enslavement, we still all benefit from everything that was built upon their backs and with their hands. It is time as Highguard to recognise that, to realise what it is we owe these peoples and to work to see that appropriate recognition and reparations are made. There is a debt to be paid and we, the priests of the Highborn, speak out to see that Virtue is done in this.
• Outcome: Upheld (358-82)

Judgement 53

• Assembly: Dawnish
• Raised By: Roland de Lagriffe
• Judgement: QUEST INTO THE UNTROD GROVES. When the matter of the monarch of Dawn is settled and the Manticore has been destroyed, let the brave knights of Dawn seek glory in the Untrod Groves to destroy what servants and husks of the Manticore remain, to find the regios and places of power within, to unearth the mysteries and secrets of the ancient monster and to bring the light of Dawn to that benighted place. House de Lagriffe offers the hospitality of Heron Hall on the border of the Untrod Groves to all who would undertake such quests
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (410-24)

Judgement 55

• Assembly: Courage
• Raised By: Ioan Longshadow
• Judgement: Courage is not only found in the charge. It is found in those who endure - who labour, who heal, who hold the line, and who continue when no song will be sung for them. Their deeds are unseen, but no less vital. No victory is won alone. Every blade raised relies on those who forged it, those who tended the wounded, and those who ensure the Empire endures beyond the moment of battle. To praise only the final blow is to forget the truth. Courage does not seek glory. It does what is right, regardless. Therefore, we recognise and honour the quiet acts of Courage - the unyielding, the unthanked, and the steadfast - for it is these that sustain the Empire when louder deeds fall silent.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (210-12)

Judgement 57

• Assembly: League
• Raised By: Lia Adelaar van Holberg
• Judgement: The League has successfully attracted other peoples into the Empire - witness Holberg and Apulian! We urge you to use your ingenuity and cleverness to identify who might next join the League and how we might attract them to be a partner in our great game. We seek to bring other sapient beings from all species into our great Empire and to the Way of Virtue, and where better to come then to this League of great cities. This is our highest calling.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (404-0)
• Notes: Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 59

• Assembly: Varushkan
• Raised By: Alexei
• Judgement: The Imperial Orcs are casting a ritual on the Galath Fields to allow people to speak to the dead. We call on storytellers and wise ones to speak to the human ghosts in the field of glory to help them move on, and allow the orcs to tend to the orcs there
• Outcome: Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest (22-0)

Judgement 60

• Assembly: Dawnish
• Raised By: Earl of Fools
• Judgement: Barrens won, Dawn looks to Horizons new; And in Wisdom learns from Tales of our Past. Dawn must prepare its next Glorious fight; Aid all nations in fight against Vallorn. With Love, Glory, Virtue, all that Dawn is. Be the shield wall on which this foe shall break. Be the shining sword which the Empire wields. This is our Highest Calling.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (376-166)
• Notes: Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 62

• Assembly: Way
• Raised By: Darian Numbers
• Judgement: The assembly invites the Raboviches of False Hopes and Arbiter Aphroias of the Hall of the Newborn Sun to represent lucidianism at the upcoming symposium.
• Outcome: Upheld (134-0)
• Notes: The greater majority threshold for this judgement was 135. The symposium of proscriptions is due to take place at the Summer Solstice 388YE.

Judgement 64

• Assembly: Varushkan
• Raised By: Konstantin Rabovich Bolotnikov
• Judgement: Spring marks five years since the final region of Ossium was conquered. The Empire came to we Ossians then, and swore it would not demean us as the scorpion had. It taught that Pride showed the worth of all, and Prosperity the importance of work and its rewards. Now Ossium thrives. Warded highways link the new port of Kostyjas Respite to fledgling vales across the territory. Orieb flourishes with trade from the great lumbermill of Kurstrozi, and the permanent magics of the Whistling Strand ensure our safety. This season let each night burn with grand celebration. Reflect on the transformation of the last five year, exalt the success of you and your companions, and pledge to reach even greater heights in the next five.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (224-0)

Judgement 68

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Eirlys Ashes Blaze
• Judgement: The Pilgrim's Defiance walked alongside Navarr's captains into Therunin. They did so knowing that three of ten of them would not return. Let the tale of this sacrifice shared in every wayhouse, sung on every road and held dear by every Navarri that looks to the future where Therunin is once again Navarri. May the blood spilled by the pilgrims further nourish the deep bond between Navarr and Highguard.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (288-0)

Judgement 71

• Assembly: Way
• Raised By: Kosmas of the House of the Wanderer
• Judgement: Six years ago the Black Plateau was roused at the Battle of Solen's Doubt. Its oppression thrives by severing us from each other and finally from ourselves. Upon this anniversary the Apstrus Dam and the Dreaming Spire have been raised. These twinned edifices reflect Virtue's power to exalt, transcending the boundaries of soul, spirit, and species. We call for pilgrimage to memorialise the past and form a phalanx of virtue for the future. For this year and years to come, let us make the anniversary the Dam and the Spire symbols to fortify the soul and kindle faith that the downward spiral also turns in the opposite direction. Pilgrims of the Way, our part in the pilgrimage is to show that there are seven virtues that guide the spirit. On this journey no one should walk alone. We can show how the pilgrims of each of the Virtues may strengthen one another and see into the others' blind spots. Hold together the phalanx of virtue against this insidious foe.
• Outcome: Upheld (130-30)
• Notes: The greater majority threshhold for this judgement was 135

Judgement 73

• Assembly: Wisdom
• Raised By: Illya Nikovitch Volkov
• Judgement: The Guardian of the Maze of Zoria calls for the aid of the wise ones of the Empire. The Maze of Zoria has proven in the past to be a conduit of knowledge regarding magical beings such as the sovereigns of Varushka. Come to the Maze of Zoria, together we shall discern the nature of the creature behind the face-peelers. This creature is known as "The Stranger", "The First One", or less commonly "The Smiling One". Let us learn of this threat to our Empire together.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (328-0)
• Notes:

Judgement 75

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Jesper Luukasson
• Judgement: For years, the Marches, the Freeborn, and the Winterfolk, have been engaged on the western front against the Jotun, Lasambrians and the Grendel. This war is ever-churning, the deaths are many, and they are out-numbered. The Loyalty Assembly seeks to strengthen the faithful and encourage all who are loyal to build our fellows on the western front up. This is our Highest Calling.
• Outcome: Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest (34-10)

Judgement 77

• Assembly: League
• Raised By: Francesca di Spiral
• Judgement: We welcome and recognise the judgement by Navarr (54). We recognise their highest calling and we welcome their aid.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (328-10)
• Notes: The judgement references Judgement 54

Judgement 81

• Assembly: Marcher
• Raised By: Jedediah Boon
• Judgement: William Guildenstern was recognised as a Marcher Folk Hero in 384YE. As my cousin Pipit Boon called out to our people in 385YE; "Let us sing his story for generations to come, across our territories." There is no better time than these - our homes under siege and our territories dividing - to draw Marchers to great Marcher deeds. As a Folk Hero walks among us as General of the Drakes, remember: Jonah Gold made weapons so fierce it turned a war's tide. Odd of Odd's End drained the Oddmire against the Marshwalker threat. Tom Drake struck down Alderei the Fair. William Guildenstern caught a falling star in his chest. All are Marchers, all fought our battles, all did deeds of great renown, all had rivals who would see them fail, and all are remembered in song.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (152-20)

Judgement 82

• Assembly: Marcher
• Raised By: Friar John of the Mourn
• Judgement: I, Friar John of the Mourn, am retiring from my role as Friar of Honour's Rest. I was granted what was to be the long task of tending the ailing spirits and restless ghosts of war-scarred Mornwold. With the repelling of the Jotun, the pilgrims visiting the newly constructed Orchard of the Watch, and the lingering dead now finding rest beneath Marcher earth, I believe my task is complete. I wish to acknowledge the Virtue of the faithful of the Greensward, who attended sermons and helped in the monastery's upkeep, particularly the friars of the Last of Overton. I wish to recognise the Courage, Loyalty, and Pride of those who stood with the monastery when the Jotun took the Greensward. I wish to thank the artists, labourers, and artisans who helped me build the Orchard of the Watch, even with the threat of the Jotun hanging over them. I wish quiet times and good fortunes for the next Friar of Honour's Rest. May they serve the good people of the Mourn well. May they show my greatest Pride, the Orchard of the Watch, the love and care such things require. May they hold themselves to a standard befitting this esteemed title. Go with Virtue, and thank you all.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (150-10)

Judgement 83

• Assembly: Way
• Raised By: Brynn Tendfallen
• Judgement: The Imperial Way is a beacon to the entire world, showing the path to Enlightenment. The light of that beacon must be tended and renewed to keep it burning bright. Virtue calls us to test what we know. Building a Way that is strengthened by questions, challenges, and revelations rather than being threatened by them is the Highest Calling of this Assembly.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (268-30)
• Notes: Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Mandates

Judgement 3

• Assembly: Dawnish

Judgement 26

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Ada of Balthazar's Vineyard
• Judgement: The prosperity of our Varushkan kin is threatened by the harm done to the bees of Karov. With hard work, we can help them quell the fear that has overtaken their bees, and with the inspiration of Kvetmir Kvetmirovic renew trust between that symbol of Prosperity and the people of the vales. We send Ada of Balthazar's Vineyard with 50 doses of liao to spread auras of Prosperity, and to support the work of the vale of Zoloto to right what the Cold Sun has unbalanced.
• Outcome: Upheld (424-0)
• Enacted This mandate will help spread the inspiration of Kvetmir Kvetmirovic, and the expertise of the beekeepers of Zoloto. This will prevent the situation with bees in Varushka getting worse, and will slowly encourage bees to take residence in their hives again. It will take at least a year, and bee populations are unlikely to recover completely, but it will ensure there is no measurable impact on the prosperity of southern Varushka, and no lasting damage to the Prosperity of herb gardens, farms, forests, or businesses.
• Notes: The greater majority threshold for this judgement was 426

Judgement 32

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Skaldsgrym

• Enacted The penalty suffered by military units from nations other than Wintermark or Varushka when operating in the wastes will be reduced from a three-rank penalty to a one-rank penalty. This will apply whether they are scouting or exploring in Tsirku.

Judgement 54

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Teleri Thornweaver

• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (252-0)
• Enacted Navarr from all walks of life will travel to the named nation looking for ways to help. This will generate at least one opportunity for a new Imperial title to help the Vallornguard prepare for the fight with the enemy.

Judgement 126

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Dag Kinnad
• Judgement: Prosperity says that we should share our bounty with those who are worthy of it, and the heroes who pursue the dream to Tsirku cannot help but be worthy. We send Hildelith Kaukosdottir with 50 doses of liao to urge the farmers and herders of Sermersuaq to support those who risk the wasteland as best they can.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (198-0)
• Enacted Reduces the benefit provided to farms in Sermersuaq by the Smokehouse of Atalaq. Surplus provisions suitable for use in Tsirku will be sent to support the scouting network. For as long as these supplies are committed, each season a strength of 500 will be committed to the scouting network. This won't be enough to operate the network by itself, but it will bolster efforts in the north.

Judgement 128

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Yrkja Riansson Sigeing
• Judgement: A good death awaits us. We send Yrkja Riansson Sigeing with 25 doses of liao to encourage Wintermark to ready themselves for war. A hero has a name.
• Outcome: Upheld (156-20)
• Enacted Wintermark owners of a business, farm, fleet, herb garden, mana site, mine, or forest can change to to a military unit of the same resource level in the same territory without incurring a cost. Players wishing to take advantage of this opportunity should plot@profounddecisions.co.uk.

Judgement 151

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Leliel, Daughter of Armisael
• Judgement: The Virtuous raise up their fellows. Any nation willing to raise arms and join the Vallornguard shall have our full support. We send Leliel, Daughter of Armisael, with 25 doses of liao to lead our people in sharing everything we have with the League to prepare to finish the fight.
• Outcome: Upheld (190-0)
• Enacted This use of Eyes of Loyalty supported Judgement 54

Judgement 179

• Assembly: Imperial Orc
• Raised By: Jim
• Judgement: A nation is much more than lines on a map. We send Skywise Rykana with 15 crowns to lead a delegation of mystagogues and shamans to discover more of the ancestors of the Great Forest Orcs.

• Enacted Skywise Rykana will lead a group of willing orcs in search of information and lore about the ancestors of the Great Forest Orcs.

Writ of Consecration

Judgement 5

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Estella Lucati
• Judgement: At the Autumn Equinox 387YE, the League National Assembly recognised the Great Chain of Sarvos as an Inspirational Location for it had repelled repeated assaults by idolatrous pirates. I beseech the Assembly to grant a Writ of Consecration so that the Great Chains may be blessed by the True Liao that was provided by the Sun Chamber for this purpose. The Great Chain stands as a marvel of ingenuity and engineering whilst embodying the tenet of 'Prepare for Malice, Yet Thwart Malice Before It Strikes Against You'.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (396-0)

Judgement 79

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Anatolij Paukov Zorkin
• Judgement: An edifice has been built in Broken Ride, in Sarvos, to honour the Sodality of the Silent Bell, with half the white granite coming from the Virtue fund and half from Bryce the Hare. I call for a Writ of Consecration to Vigilance for this site
• Outcome: Not Upheld (354-0)

Judgement 116

• Assembly: Courage
• Raised By: Basil Goodbeard
• Judgement: True courage is selfless. Emperor Ahraz died to demand liberation for the orcs of the Empire, in the face of great opposition, risking his position and reputation to do what he knew was right. Our world was changed forever by that courageous act. His tomb should be a beacon to all those who fight for their convictions, Ashborn Osso among them. Her bones will join the guardians of this holy ground. We have the true liao: Ashborn Trosk will provide it. "Do not fear to act; only be shamed by inaction."
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (312-0)

Judgement 125

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Eldrid 'Phoenix Flame' Vestardottir
• Judgement: The Empire is an amalgamation of our Ambitions. Each stronger as others take the burden. As Tian bore the flame, Umarth bore the consequence of decision. The Fist of the Mountains paid the price, now our Urizen must take the branches and carry the light. We call for a writ of consecration to build a flame that will burn on the docks of Elos. Let the mystics of Wintermark and the seers and illuminates of Urizen make pilgrimage. There they will reflect on the gift and burden of farsight, to show the Way to their people.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (332-0)

Writ of Excommunication

Judgement 33

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Kasmira Milankova Ygrev
• Judgement: To excommunicate is not a trivial act to be concealed, this assembly have made such clear. And so, in pursuit of employing every avenue to defeat the 'Earl of Groves', to resist the blight of its venom and risk all for their love of the Empire, I raise such a judgement against RHYDIAN DE RONDELL, Champion of Wisdom. I ask this assembly to cast them from this hearth in service of it. Don your cloak and take your fill of bread Rhydian, for this would be a parting. May the weight of this act measure against its worth
• Outcome: Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest (530-174)

Proscription

Judgement 43

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Caspian i Shartha i Riqueza
• Judgement: We the Synod proscribe the practice of Usury, defined as 'charging interest on a loan'. Under the law of Idolatry. The general assembly has already declared that "A Mizer who practices Usury is unvirtuous" Idolatry is "subsuming human will and destiny to any inhuman entity or force". And a Mizer hiding behind the inhuman force of Finance to pile up the riches of our Empire is doing exactly that.
• Outcome: Not upheld (94-992)
• Note: This judgement failed scrutiny by the Constitutional Court before voting closed. If it had been upheld, it would have been declared unconstitutional.

Judgement 66

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Sofonisba Amilcara of the City Below
• Judgement: Idolatry is subsuming mortal will and destiny to an inhuman power. The manner of a person's death is of profound importance; for that death to be made subject to the whims of an eternal, sovereign, or other such entity is unacceptable. To end a person's life, or allow a person's life to end, as an offering to an inhuman power is idolatry
• Outcome: Upheld (1306-469)

Judgement 72

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Maarit Suvidottir
• Judgement: It is heresy to actively encourage or preach that the established virtues or the Way are not helpful for the spiritual life of orcs or humans
• Outcome: Upheld (1292-380)

Judgement 80

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Edward Watcher
• Judgement: Use of the rite of excommunication with the target's consent is not proscribed
• Outcome: Upheld (822-214)

Judgement 92

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Kasjay
• Judgement: Oaths are important. Oathbreakers cannot be trusted. Synod titles are a position of trust. Breaking an oath while holding a Synod title is a breach of that trust and thus an abuse of priestly powers.
• Outcome: Not upheld (598-964)

Judgement 114

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Frater Pontius of Adoniran’s Temple
• Judgement: The Synod upholds the Doctrine of the Creator and proscribes as heresy the Theist Heresy, the claim that there are gods that seek dominance of, control over or communion with sapient spirits. We do not hereby proscribe any belief related to the Paragons or Exemplars
• Outcome: Upheld (1228-238)

Judgement 115

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Merlof Von Temeschwar
• Judgement: The Synod upholds the Doctrine of the Labyrinth and hereby proscribes as Heresy the Realmist Heresy, a long-established heresy which claims that the Labyrinth of Ages is a realm of magic, and asserts that Paragons become Eternals. Seek out the Blight.
• Outcome: Upheld (1241-196)

Judgement 149

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Lepidina
• Judgement: The Synod proscribes as idolatry the veneration, or entering the service of, an inhuman entity of the labyrinth, such as a labyrinth spirit
• Outcome: Upheld (864-142)

Judgement 150

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Gaelen Embercast
• Judgement: To proscribe as heresy the act of catching a soul such that its passage through the labyrinth is inhibited, against the Doctrine of the Labyrinth
• Outcome: Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest (124-36)
• Note: This judgement failed scrutiny by the Constitutional Court before voting closed. If it had been upheld, it would have been declared unconstitutional.

Judgement 171

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Edward Greyfriar
• Judgement: Doctrine is built on centuries of careful observation and liao based research, constantly honed by the insights and perspectives of those across the Empire and beyond. Due to orcs reaction to liao and the terrible crimes the Empire committed against the ancestors of the Imperial Orcs, the Doctrines of the Howling Abyss and the Ancestors have shallower foundations than the rest. As such, practice of beliefs conflicting with these Doctrines shall not be Proscribed so we may learn, not suppress.
• Outcome: Not upheld (420-378)
• Note: This judgement was subject to the Custodian of Virtue power of the Throne, and needed a greater majority to be upheld

Inquisition

Judgement 4

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Corey Wayfarer
• Judgement: Cadwell of the Waystone Path, it is time we discussed your virtue and conduct during your time as general. As such I invite you to inquisition at 9pm on Saturday of this summit at the Brackensong camp. Cheese will be provided.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (252-0)

Judgement 40

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Bella Vicente d'Apulian
• Judgement: Pride is in deeds not words. Elagabala talks a lot of talk. Let's see if it holds up to scrutiny. 12pm. Saturday. Spring 388. Celestial Eclipse, League.
• Outcome: Upheld (10-0)

Judgement 61

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Emmeline Weaver
• Judgement: There's some nasty rumours going about that General Amberlain Black, Hero of Bregasland, is a Hate cultist. Let's lay these to rest. I call Amberlain to inquisition, 16:45, House de Gauvain, Dawn
• Outcome: Upheld (148-0)

Judgement 95

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Ingrid Talon-of-the-Mark
• Judgement: I call Mael, Marshal of the Faith, to inquisition at 11:00 on Sunday of this summit to investigate their view on the efficacy and virtuous effect of their role.
• Outcome: Upheld (196-0)

Judgement 129

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
• Judgement: I call Gancio di Catazar to inquisition at 10:30AM on Sunday at the Spring Equinox 388YE to answer why they arranged a wayleaf to announce a commission that has had no progress and will now lapse
• Outcome: Upheld (23-0)

Judgement 157

• Assembly: Marcher
• Raised By: Brother Geoffrey Orchard
• Judgement: Friar Book: so far we know you only by the hallowings you have wrough and second hand reports of your preaching. We would seek to know you in person. Come to Anvil, Summer 388, and speak to me of your teachings.
• Outcome: Upheld (92-60)

Judgement 160

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Kellin Embercast
• Judgement: I have walked with Gaelen Embercast for three years. Now, as they set aside their Cardinalship, I wish to ask them some difficult questions. I do so as a dedicant of Loyalty, preaching their sworn virtue, so my questions concern themselves with the intersection of Loyalty and Vigilance. When they have faced challenges that set these virtues at odds with each other, how have they acted? At the Summer Solstice, I invite Gaelen to join me to discuss this.
• Outcome: Upheld (108-0)

Judgement 173

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Iniska Ashwood
• Judgement: Polk Thornweaver. You've been working your arse off for the nation. Let's chat about it. Woven roots, next summit - we'll figure out the most prosperous time
• Outcome: Upheld (90-0)

Sanction

Judgement 22

• Assembly: Wisdom
• Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
• Judgement - Vindication: Magistrate Sayid i Zuhri i Erigo. The Wisdom Assembly has reviewed the aura you gained from Rachensgrab and find no issue, my colleagues and I deem the spontaneous aura of no threat to your soul or impediment to your position. Consider what you have learned from this aura - perhaps you have learned all you can.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (294-0)

Judgement 38

• Assembly: Wisdom
• Raised By: Nim, of Ebon's Hall
• Judgement - Penance: Last summit, my inquisition revealed that Iniska Ashwood certainly displays much wisdom. I learned a greater appreciation of the role we can play to encourage souls back to the Path of Virtue. However, I hope they learned something from me - to be wary of the folly of those close to you. Each summit from now until Spring 389YE, report the results of an insight to me, conducted towards someone close to you.
• Outcome: Upheld (134-0)

Judgement 76

• Assembly: Dawnish
• Raised By: Lady Abreya deLagriffe
• Judgement - Penance: Leon of House Castellan is currently not reaching his full potential ambition but I believe that with correct steps this can be achieved. Leon has performed great acts of glory but must acknowledge the pride and worthiness in those actions and convert those into further ambitions. I task Leon to the following penance: discuss with nobles both within and without his house what it means to be noble; consider and provide actionable steps he can perform that would make him feel worthy of asking for a test of mettle.
• Outcome: Upheld (290-0)

Judgement 86

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Eevi of the Gadrai
• Judgement - Vindication: Naela Blackhawk's inquisition revealed that she is as steadfast and enduring as a great oak tree. She has continued to build up those within her nation and bring disparate groups such as the Thorns and the National Assembly together. Her loyalty to Navarr is clear and she acts on it whenever an opportunity presents itself. I vindicate her and will testimony her "Path Weaver" so all can see the truth on her soul.
• Outcome: Upheld (126-0)

Judgement 113

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Tribune on behalf of Donato of the Crucible
• Judgement - Penance: Cosmé placed a curse upon Veikko Bondforger but their actions were spurred by Loyalty and ceased from escalating for the same Loyalty. However, in considering their role as chief magistrate, pursual of a hurt for a hurt, no matter how well thought through, is a step closer to the false virtue of Vengeance. As penance, I request they think through what their action may have been in the scenario that their loyalty did not stay their hand; and how that may impact the Empire. Report back to Donato in two seasons' time.
• Outcome: Upheld (114-0)

Judgement 120

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Larkin Otterways
• Judgement - Vindication: I called Brother Luke to Inquisition Autumn Y387. My judgement is: Vindication. The spontaneous Loyalty dedication is genuine. I can find no fault in his story of reaction to this experience. Luke exhibits a number of signs: Inspiration, Legacy, Miracles, Pilgrimage, Recognition, Salvation.
• Outcome: Upheld (112-22)

Judgement 127

• Assembly: Nine
• Raised By: Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
• Judgement - Vindication: Following inquisiton of Natalia 'the Falcon' Barossa on her actions as Quartermaster General, I commend her: attention to detail; Ambition, Loyalty, Prosperity, and Wisdom in driving down the price of Brotherhood of Tian and Spiral Castle; Courage to change what has always been; Loyalty to the Empire and its armies. I intend to testimony '"Peerless Logistician" on her soul, as she is.
• Outcome: Upheld (2-0)

Judgement 153

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Arvel Tendfallen
• Judgement - Penance: I inquisited Silas of the Cenotaph and found his actions were not due to lack of virtue, but lack of rest. A cardinal must not only act with virtue, but communicate clearly and be seen to act with virtue. For the duration of his time as cardinal, Silas must ensure he is well rested enough to fulfil this role.
• Outcome: Upheld (96-0)

Judgement 158

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Ardeniel of the Woodwych Harts
• Judgement - Vindication: A artefact Litany of the Labyrinth has now been created for all 10 nations of the Empire. No longer will those at Anvil need worry for their souls passage into the Labyrinth due to want of resources to create a Litany of their own. National sects may now protect their citizens from the vile actions of the Druj and Vallorn permanently. For this we have Nira of Canitarch's Hold to thank. She has worked tirelessly for over seven years to gather ilium and create these artefacts nearly entirely by her own hand. There is no challenge a dedicated soul cannot overcome. Follow her example!
• Outcome: Upheld (266-0)

Judgement 159

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Drusilla of the Woodwych Harts
• Judgement - Vindication: Whilst the death of Olyvar of Esther's Sanctum was an unquestionable loss to Highguard, the vast number of siblings from almost every nation queuing to pay their respects demonstrates that this will be felt across the Empire. It took over an hour for all present to pass on through the chapel to say their final goodbyes, and before he passed into the Labyrinth twelve priests representing several nations dedicated Olyvar to Pride. Death traditions and rites from all nations present were performed. Let Olyvar's passing serve as inspiration to us all, for our words and deeds of virtue impact not only those close to us, but all nations across the Empire.
• Outcome: Upheld (232-12)

Judgement 162

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Emmeline Weaver
• Judgement - Vindication: I inquisited Amberlain in company with Lenarius Ankarien, Dame Arlette d'Ossienne, Friar Duncan of Ashill, and Martin Orchard. Amberlain Black has been a Devotee of Loyalty since 384. The Oaths she swore to defend Bregasland are LOYALTY oaths, witnessed by Loyalty priests of the Marches. Amberlain is giving Loyal service to the Empire in a time of War, furthering amity and co-operation between Nations. Just this season, she gave up opportunities in Bregas and Mitwold to defend Sarangrave and Mareave. This us not the action of a Hate Cultist. I advise her to be vigilant about the company she keeps.
• Outcome: Upheld (152-0)

Judgement 166

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Bella Vicente d'Apulian
• Judgement - Penance: Elagabala is a spectacular individial. Her achievements eclipse those who come before and she is a master of her art. This is clear to see: yet she has said she cannot have Pride in herself until she transcends. Wisdom is always incomplete; Pride cannot wait for completion either. Become Proud of yourself for who you are now, and at every step of your life. Each summit for one year, find a Priest priest and tell them what you are proud of in yourself.
• Outcome: Upheld (60-0)

Judgement 168

• Assembly: Nine
• Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
• Judgement - Penance: Ser Guy of the Twisted Rose. You are no idolator, but you have been reckless with the souls of those soldiers over whom you held responsibility. Your actions are not without virtue - but I wory about the echo of Irrah Harrah's philosophies in the actions you took. In penance, I ask that you cease playing Irrah Harrah's game - stand proud as I know you can. Run no longer, hide not, fight as it is your choice. You are no mouse, Guy. Stop acting like one.
• Outcome: Not upheld (0-0)

Judgement 172

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Iniska Ashwood
• Judgement - Vindication: I called Mendicant Garev to inquisition to investigate his Prosperity in light of his recent misadventures. I cannot fault his Prosperity. I wish to invite him back to Anvil to thank him for bearing a troll-cursed cup to us. It is being returned to Tharim to save Mitwold from a curse, and I intend to reward and recompense him for this.
• Outcome: Upheld (76-0)

Recognition

Judgement 93

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Amos
• Judgement: I call for Barabbas to be recognised as an exemplar of Ambition, embodying the tenet that "it is better by far to try and fail, than never to have tried at all". His legacy lives on in Freeborn corsairs, in Caricomare and in Segura. His benevolence lives on in the ports and cities he built, the trade routes he founded, and the maps drawn from his explorers. His miraculous final address, and the aura of ambition it bears two centuries on, is an inspiration to mariners, explorers and adventurers to the cenotaph, and to all those who seek to do what "cannot be done". Barabbas is an exemplar for all those who dare to dream.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (362-56)

Exaltation

Judgement 35

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Halwyn Splitroot
• Judgement: Great artists whose art inspires virtue should be exalted. Idwyn Splitroot has inspired Pride across the Empire with her song "Painted". Heard by every Navarr, sung with every binding of thorns, now inspiring the troubadours of Dawn. We exalt Idwyn, recognising her artistic works and dedication to inspiring pride in others.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (192-22)
• Notes: Idwyn Splitroot has been added to the Roll of the Exalted

Judgement 70

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Sybilla Cattaneo di Tassato
• Judgement: Azeal of Rumah's Redoubt recognised the great opportunities presented to the Empire by expanding the pool of appraisers but knew that the Senate budget has little slack for anything outside the war effort. He generously offered to fund the appraisers for their first year bringing the potential for opportunities old and to become available to the Empire that would not have been possible before. We recognise Azeal for his hard work in raising the funds to ensure the opportunity was not wasted and in his generosity in spending his hard earned money in a way that will benefit so many over the coming year.
• Outcome: Not upheld (132-74)

Rewarding

Judgement 17

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Donato of the Crucible
• Judgement: The Empire is beset on all sides by enemies - our military is stretched. An opportunity presents to create a ritual text which would allow our armies to resupply under any circumstance. This text will save Imperial lives and give the Empire a new tool to fight our enemies. The Throne has thanked Herminius of the House of the Wanderer in her recent address for this support in building the third League army. We ask he is rewarded 40 thrones to complete codification faster and purchase resources for further prosperous work
• Outcome: Upheld, full amount (514-326)

Judgement 21

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Laurencio di Sarvos
• Judgement: Seventy-five citizens of the Empire sacrificed Personal Prosperity for Imperial Vigilance and the chance to capture Grendel spies. These efforts would have succeeded but for the acts of three Traitors within the Empire. Neverthless, Virtue should be Rewarded lest citizens be discouraged from future sacrifice when called upon. We Reward those citizens with 22 Thrones from the Virtue Fund to be share amongst them according to their sacrifice.
• Outcome: Upheld, full amount (843-336)

Judgement 30

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Athiel Westernborn of the Cenotaph
• Judgement: In Autumn 386YE (Judgement 4) the full force of the Synod showed their wish to bring spiritual enlightenment to the waylaid and the downtrodden of Asavea. We did so with the full understanding of the magnitude of this project, and with awareness of its costs. Priests, why have you let the fires of your Ambition dwindle to embers? Even the most impenetrable forest may fall one tree at a time. As such, we request 8 wains of white granite to be disbursed from the Virtue Fund to continue anchoring the Way in Asavea. Consequences are the price of Ambition. We are willing to pay the costs.
• Outcome: Upheld, full amount (652-334)

Judgement 36

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Lord Julien de Courtenay-Wyldrose

• Outcome: Upheld, full amount (600-276)

Judgement 37

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Hildelith Kaukosdottir
• Judgement: Countless times we have pronounced ourselves in favour of the free preaching of the Way in Asavea. It is time to make good on our promises. We reward the refugees of Ibaria with 50 thrones. They have shown boundless Courage and Ambition in the fight against the Asavean Plenum, and have built a new life in Virtue here in the Empire. They have given everything for Virtue. We should seek to repay them in kind.
• Outcome: Not upheld (398-502)

Judgement 42

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Miroslav Dainovitch Temnavoda
• Judgement: Last summit, Varushka had the opportunity to purge the insidious threat of face-peeling monsters. Rather than draw the Boyar's Hasta from its vital role elsewhere, heroes across Varushka committed military units to this task, many sacrificing their own resources to take up arms for the first time. Mana from across the nation was poured into enchantments to boost the strength of these units. This resulted in an assembled force equivalent to an army. Thanks to these efforts, the Boyar's Hasta remained committed to the vital role it played in Sarangrave, and the operation to root out the face peelers was an overwhelming success. I ask for Thirty Thrones from the Virtue Fund to be disbursed among those Ambitious citizens who stand as an example to all of what can be achieved with sufficient drive and focus.
• Outcome: Upheld, 28 thrones, 1 crown, and 11 rings rewarded (450-426)

Judgement 63

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Vera
• Judgement: Five years ago the first sermon on the Way in Ossium ended with the declaration 'together we rise in greatness'. I seek 20 thrones to reward the ossians who have reached the greatest heights since liberation: Volya, cardinal of the Way; Velko, senator for Ossium; Sigismund, general of the Golden Axe; Sławomir, leading diplomatic efforts in the Mallum
• Outcome: Not upheld (282-514)

Judgement 67

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Oleander Dreamsreach
• Judgement: We seek to reward Geraint Bronwyn's Rest with 8 wains of white granite to be put towards the City of Dreams. This is an investment into the future of the Navarr and will allow us to seek new ways to use liao.
• Outcome: Not upheld (333-414)

Judgement 104

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Galene Netherwatch
• Judgement: For the last 4 years, the Mountains' Answer, a block of military units 4000+ strong, have made themselves strategically avaialble to the Military Council to be deployed wherever is deemed necessary to the Empire. Let us reward this Loyalty with 20 thrones, to be given to Floria Sunshaper, to be shared amongst these captains
• Outcome: Upheld, but none remain (260-252)

Judgement 111

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Marialena Von Holberg
• Judgement: As Senator of Holberg, Kaspar von Yakovitch has inspired great Virtue in our citizens from Pride as we were awarded the Greatest City, to Ambition in building the Great Walls. His Virtue extends to the wider Empire, sharing the Prosperity of the League by creating an Imperial position from a National Bourse seat. As a young citizen inspired by this Virtue. I ask, on behalf of Holberg, that he is rewarded with four wains of weirwood.
• Outcome: Upheld, full amount (300-208)

Special Considerations

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

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	Any mandate that does not pass with a greater majority will have limited or no effect on Wintermark unless enacted by the Wintermark Assembly. It is not impossible that a mandate might lead to a response in the nation, but it won't lead to any immediate consequences for the people of the nation.	The final cut	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
