• Not Enacted: This mandate required a greater majority to have an effect

Writ of Consecration

One writ of consecration was presented to the assemblies during the Autumn Equinox

Judgement 21

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Alfredo Barossa
• Judgement: In the days before the Empire, the Jotun and Wintermark erected a stone, which became known simply as the Meeting Place. For many generations Jotun and Empire could meet there, be Loyal to their values and bind themselves with oaths - over time a hall grew up on the site and honour and virtue flowed from it. In recent times that hall was destroyed and the stone smashed. Ignominious death and dishonour have abounded between Jotun and Imperials since. Now at last, the Empire and Jotun have jointly rebuilt the feasting hall and wish to call it the Meeting Place once more. This is a place of Honour and Virtue, a place to be Loyal to our values, ourselves, the oaths we swear and the treaties we sign. Having sought the Jotun's agreement, I ask the Assembly for a Writ of Consecration, to dedicate part of the site to Loyalty using a dose of True Liao donated by Erland, in the hope the Jotun accept this offer in the spirit it is intended.
• Outcome: Not Upheld (412-26)

Judgement 199

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Abreya de Lagriffe
• Judgement: I call the sect of Sular’s Spyglass to inquisition and request the presence of Oradora, Teresa and Apprendio at the next summit of Anvil. As I am to understand, Azir i Shartha i Riqueza - the predecessor of my new position as Inquisitor of Ambition - tried to offer the sect a way to conclude their investigations without inquisition which has been refused. As such, it is my duty to investigate the alleged activity of the false virtue of vengeance within this sect
• Outcome: Upheld as Inquisitor of Ambition

Judgement 201

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Eevi of the Gadrai
• Judgement: I call Neala Blackhawk to inquisition at winter summit at a time and place to be agreed with them. We will discuss accusations of compelled loyalty in your nation and how your actions align with the oaths you have sworn

• Outcome: Upheld as proxy Basilisk of the Bourse

Sanction

Twenty-six sanctions were raised during the Autumn Equinox

Judgement 8

• Assembly: Wisdom
• Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
• Judgement - Condemnation: Fintan Nighthaven: you have been judged and found sorely wanting. Your blatant blasphemy has endangered not only the souls of thousands of Axou, but of the Empire. You have abused your priestly powers to pervert the sanctity of true liao in creating a true hallowing of Peace. You have confessed to being dedicated to each false virtue, save fear and hope, and have created 31 false hallowings you have not destroyed. Your vanity project ends here, wolf.
• Outcome: Upheld (326-24)

Judgement 10

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
• Judgement - Condemnation: Sam Wych-Elm. You are a hypocrite, who has stood on the side of Vigilance and still fallen face first into the poison of your neighbour's field. How disappointing. As you called for the condemnation of the Cardinals for the carrying of false hallowings so too do I call you now for willingly dedicating yourself to Vengeance to the strength of four priests. Playing the merry fool will not spare you of consequence, blasphemer.
• Outcome: Upheld (1536-126)

Judgement 15

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
• Judgement - Condemnation: Following my inquisition of Yosephus Morningson, I have determined that the creed of the Temple of Balance, which he preaches is neither blasphemous nor does it promote the Unitarian Heresy. It is, however, avowed Excessionism. He preaches that a person can have too much Ambition compared to their Courage, and vice versa, and thus that all should seek to stymie their own excellence in pursuit of mediocrity across the board. The heretical creed of the Temple of Balance is a festering wound that must be cut out. As he is the primary preacher at Anvil, we must therefore condemn the heretic Yosephus Morningson as well.
• Outcome: Upheld (1378-180)

Judgement 22

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Callista of the Dark Shard
• Judgement - Vindication: Able the Taller exhibits exemplary loyalty in their actions. Their loyalty to the cause of "Ending the Druj" inspires others to join with their ambitions. In this instance, their ambition was to solve the supply problem in Urizen that restricts army formation. With their allies, they formed the Urizen Trading Consortium and employed their mastery of the Autumn realm. to manipulate heralds into offering an army of heralds to Urizen. Once this offer was made, they leveraged their personal contacts, prosperity, and sheer determination to not only build it, but built it in a single season: an unprecedented accomplishment. The Synod commends this AMBITIOUS achievement and encourages citizens to learn from Able's ability to take a vast ambition and break it down into steps that bring the unreachable into their grasp.
• Outcome: Upheld (1092-66)

Judgement 26

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Melkior of Balthazar's Vineyard
• Judgement - Penance: In relation to the inquisition of Sen. Ostrik Vulpe on Saturday of the Summer Solstice. It was good to talk, old friend, your virtue is on the correct path and I am pleased. Nevertheless, we all fall short of the Path. I identified two areas in which your soul can be brightened, which I charge you to address this summit. 1) While your Ambition is palpable you should take care to not only draw esteem from others. Thus I charge you to seek the anointing of the Affirmation of Pride. 2) In speaking, I saw that your soul bears a particular weakness to the malign spiritual influence of fear. Your should not fear the night. I charge you to hallow a lantern with the Hallowing of Adelmar, to banish your fear of shadow.
• Outcome: Upheld (684-50)

Judgement 27

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Almodis of the Silent Tide
• Judgement - Vindication: Vindication of Olyvar of Esther's Sanctum. Olyvar was asked by the Imperial Inquisitor to look into the issue surrounding the dedication of a then General of Highguard being dedicated to a false virtue. Olyvar was unfortunately too busy to address this, which is unfortunate, but not unvirtuous. Olyvar provided helpful information that he had been told that Achseh had been dedicated by the Exarch of the Sentinel's Tower and the contradicting version that it had been someone in a Bar. He was also told that the Exarch was executed bt the Magistrate, but we have been unable to find a record of this.
• Outcome: Upheld (562-170)

Judgement 28

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Jash
• Judgement - Penance: Penance of Aemon Exarch of Suns of Couros. Sanctions following inquisition should be given when a lack of Virtue is demonstrated, that should then be clear on the Judgement of Sanction. Aemon stated at the inquisition that to ask people to vote on their feelings about a person or without the full information would "run the risk of Vengeance". Jack Twice drowned is a controversial figure at times, but the only fault stated in Judgement 51 of the spring summit can be summarised that he was calling people names. If we are to be Vigilant against Vengeance, then we should do better. A public acknowledgement that words in a Synod Judgement matter and a commitment to do better would be a Virtuous penance.
• Outcome: Upheld (366-146)

Judgement 29

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Talos of the Silent Tide
• Judgement - Penance: Penance for Keziah of the Suns of Couros. Keziah virtuously took on the role of working with Achseh, former General of Highguard, as a guide priest to bring her back to the path of Virtue having been dedicated to a false virtue. Keziah succeeded in this role, but failed in one important area. Keziah was not Vigilant enough to identify if others in that Chapter had fallen from the path of Virtue. Keziah did not find out who dedicated Achseh to Hatred. As a penance, Keziah should work with the Highguard Insight Committee, reporting to Julius Solomon of Ebon's Hall, for at least a year to learn to be more Vigilant.
• Outcome: Upheld (464-214)

Judgement 30

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Archaron
• Judgement - Vindication: Vindication of Veikko, former Cardinal of Loyalty. Veikko's involvement in the issues in Highguard has been to support members of his Assembly and to try and resolve the rift. His actions were entirely Virtuous. Achseh, at Inquisition, stated that the then Exarch of Sentinel's Tower had dedicated her to a False Virtue, which she only agreed to as they threatened violence.
• Outcome: Upheld (356-32)

Judgement 33

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Icarus
• Judgement - Penance: Penance for Jared of the Sentinel's Tower - There is no clarity about how Achseh became dedicated to a false virtue. It has been stated that other member of the Sentinel's Tower have also been in this way. Jared has demonstrated a lack of Vigilance by not seeking the answers from those closest to him. His penance is to give the names of all people in his own Chapter who have been dedicated to a false virtue along with the name of the person who dedicated them on each or any occasion. Details for current members should be if they have ever been dedicated to a false virtue, for former or deceased members this should cover the last 5 years. The whereabouts of these people should be provided. This information must be raised in a judgement in the Highguard National Assembly by the end of the spring summit of 388. If it does not pass, so is not accepted as adequate by the National Assembly, then this should be escalated.
• Outcome: Upheld (446-258)
• Note: There is no legal requirement for Jared of the Sentinel's Tower to use his judgement in this way.

Judgement 35

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Coghart
• Judgement - Vindication: Vindication of Eliaphas of the Saker. Eliaphas under took the early inquisition of Achseh following their dedication to a false virtue. Achseh stated in that inquisition that she did not know how she became dedicated, she only became aware of it when she was insighted. Achseh's account at the inquisition is contradicted by her account at a later inquisition. Eliaphas action in trying to get to the bottom of this were not unvirtuous even if the Highguard National Assembly did not pass his judgement.
• Outcome: Upheld (450-118)

Judgement 36

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Appolos
• Judgement - Penance: Penance for Nekoda of Shattered Tower. Sanctions following inquisition should be given when a lack of Virtue is demonstrated, that should then be clear on the Judgement of Sanction. Judgement 195 of the winter summit acknowledged there was a rift between chapters, but did not mention any unvirtuous action by Mathayus. This demonstrates a lack of Wisdom. In the spirit of healing rifts and protecting Highguard, an appropriate penance would be to raise a judgement in the Highguard National Assembly to affirm that being willingly dedicated to False Virtue (without other mitigation) should be prosecuted as a religious crime.
• Outcome: Upheld (462-142)
• Note: There is no legal requirement for Nekoda of the Shattered Tower to use his judgement in this way.

Judgement 51

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower
• Judgement - Vindication: Escalation of Judgement 57, Summer 387YE Jaromir Ostrovyn Kostka, I asked that you answer for your deed in the Barrens. Synod, my inquisition found that he acted in deep Loyalty for the Empire which drove him to act in Vigilance against those he would see harm it. His choice was difficult, but it was a burden he willing to bear and not have others carry for him. "If the choice is easy then you are the wrong person to make it, we cannot allow ourselves to be monsters." No matter how difficult you find his actions, his Virtue cannot be denied. His calling as a Warden is echoed in the National Assembly, may the guidance he gives inspire others and his Assembly.
• Outcome: Upheld (944-12)

Judgement 78

• Assembly: The Way
• Raised By: Maximillian
• Judgement - Vindication: Following the inquisition of Rhubarb Ironwood, I reach the following conclusion. While I may disagree with Rhubarb about his aims, I can not gainsay the Virtue that drives him to pursue them. Indeed, if more people pursued their Virtues with half as much fervour the Empire would be better for it. Rhubarb is a Courageous Citizen.
• Outcome: Upheld (116-0)

Judgement 79

• Assembly: The Way
• Raised By: Maximillian
• Judgement - Vindication: Following the inquisition of Gwen Tendfallen, I reach the following conclusion. While Gwen freely admits to having temporarily aligned their soul to Vengeance. However given their actions surrounding this and stated reason I accept that their driving motive throughout was Wisdom and improving the knowledge of the Empire. Wisdom is asking the right question. But this has now been answered, and does not need to be asked again.
• Outcome: Upheld (116-0)

Judgement 90

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Azir i Shartha
• Judgement - Vindication: The Imperial Magus, Æsa Sigeling, was already known to me prior to her inquisition as a Steinr of hard work and Ambition. I heard how her work developed the Magus role as an effective liaison between Conclave and Senate; how she encouraged Conclave's investment in the Throne candidate; how she was supported into her position and seeks to support others in turn. She has been Ambitious in her role and effective in achieving those goals. I vindicate her - indeed I laud her in the highest possible terms. In the spirit of Ambition, I urge any upcoming aspirants to the Imperial Magus role to seek her out; I feel that with a capable successor she may go on to even greater things.
• Outcome: Upheld (256-0)

Judgement 97

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Jedediah Boon
• Judgement - Castigation: Aelda Beara Iron Hammer of Ottermire; You now understand clearly that the word you printed promoted blasphemy and heresy. You raised your shield against Virtue, rather than in defence of it. I refuse to call this a "mistake" and it therefore demands Castigation without remorse. Your Inquisition showed the basis of your statements to be ignorance. As a lay-folk, you cannot be held to the standard of a priest. And the friars of our nation must accept this result beside you, for failing to teach you better - myself among them. This Castigation demands that you spend until Spring 388YE studying Virtue rigorously. You will seek out every Marcher priest at Anvil you can reach. You will decide upon your dedication - or a commitment to the Way, as I cannot steer this for you - and have your soul blessed by it. Come Spring, as the ground thaws; you will write again and put to paper what will turn others to embrace Virtue. I expect your next publication to be worthy of Exaltation.
• Outcome: Upheld (174-20)

Judgement 101

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Galene Netherwatch
• Judgement - Vindication: I find the Astral Arcanist, Serenus Starsong, to have shown virtue in their role. Wisdom in their sharing of knowledge and investigations of the stars. Pride in the uplifting of others to grow their own knowledge and expertise. Vigilance in their warnings of the Falconer and Wanderer tulpas. Thus I vindicate them.
• Outcome: Upheld (1086-36)

Judgement 117

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Sofonisba Amilcara of the City Below
• Judgement - Penance: As Archmage, Mirella has represented the Empire to the Realm of Might with loyalty and vigilance, ever alert to the threat of idolatry. She has been rid of the malign aura that beset her in the course of her duties, and reflects now on why it happened. But, Mirella, you neglect your own spirit, starving yourself to feed others. You are not free to do this. I charge you thus: for some substantial periods of time in coming seasons, you shall set aside the girdings of Archmage and Enchantress, and attend to Mirella. (With apologies to the Sevenfold Path for this Synodal "interference." It will happen again.)
• Outcome: Upheld (266-10)

Judgement 123

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Vaurus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkopta
• Judgement - Vindication: Last season I inquisited the Master of Monuments, concerned by the number of commissions they had started but not completed. I found: Ambition - they build every season and help others ambitions; Courage - to act and then keep pushing; Pride - helping others meet their goals; Vigilance - they had seen the problem and were working on it. I vindicate and commend Dima Vasilyevna Novosad.
• Outcome: Upheld (860-40)

Judgement 134

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Kasmira Milankova Yerev
• Judgement - Vindication: Last summit, Rhydian de Rondell was inquisited regarding their time as knight-protector and to answer their question of "What greater can I do than what I have?" It is not a question of if Rhydian is driven by Ambition, but if they know where it leads them next, having achieved such heights. It is natural to feel lost on the path when you can see no greater heights than where you stand. But we must remember, it is not always the height of what one achieves that determines an Ambition, or commands that their next goal must surpass it. The strength of an Ambition is the conviction in which you feel the drive to achieve, regardless of cost. So, I vindicate Ser Rhydian with this: you are walking the same path you always have and need no title to prove it. Defeating Hayaak was but one part of the tapestry of your achievements, now keep weaving.
• Outcome: Upheld (276-0)

Judgement 145

• Assembly: Wisdom
• Raised By: Nim of Ebon's Hall
• Judgement - Vindication: Kalina, you walk in the light of the lantern of wisdom, that is certain. However, there were concerns that needed ironing out. In particular, concerns about how you ward against relationships affecting your inquisitorial judgement, concerns about the ramifications of relinquishing your escalatory powers and concerns about being bare in your statement of inquisition. In each case, you have shown that where errors in judgement have been made, lessons have been learned and have/will be acted upon.
• Outcome: Upheld (218-0)

Judgement 156

• Assembly: Varushkan
• Raised By: Maja Świętosława Przewałski
• Judgement - Penance: Troyan, you clearly learnt much in your time as Senator for Miekarova. You know you were not ready, so now it is time to act for your own ambitions. Your influence reaches far, but you have neglected the hearth. I task you to visit and break bread with hearths unfamiliar within Varushka so that you may build a vision with all those you once swore to represent.
• Outcome: Upheld (208-0)

Judgement 158

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Jared of the Sentinel's Tower
• Judgement - Vindication: Having thoroughly inquisited Viviane Barossa in the light of Vigilance, we vindicate her. That she speaks out so vehemently against the dangers of her actions and helps to define the criminality of what she has done speaks to her virtuous spirit. She has become an active and valuable member of the Vigilance Assembly. She has made amends with her former assembly. She works tirelessly to support the Empire and its war effort. The best penance is one that is willingly undertaken, rather than one that is forced upon you.
• Outcome: Upheld (170-0)

Judgement 193

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Eevi of the Gadrai
• Judgement - Condemnation: I condemn Kaisa Last-Lantern (aka Sewn Tongue) as an idolator. She admitted subsuming her will during her inquisition in Summer 387YE to the Falconer, a tulpa. She swore an oath to serve it and further its goals. She intended to help strengthen the Empire and Wintermark but has only torn us down. That is not loyalty. There could have been a way forward for her skein but she was unrepentant and would not listen to those who wanted to help guide her. She voluntarily attended the inquisition only to spread the Falconer's twisted agenda. She was arrested and executed by magistrates for her many crimes including being in the cult.
• Outcome: Upheld (200-0)

Judgement 196

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Azir i Shartha
• Judgement - Castigation: Tong's commitment to the upkeep of Adelmar's Shrine is noted, but this does not come from her own purse. However 1) the fees she charges are high (4-5T). Well beyond the realm of many ambitious citizens. 2) The "Challenges of Ambition" she sets read much closer to a series of personal favours to herself. I recommend the Assembly move to revoke her.
• Outcome: Upheld (124-106)

Recognition

Three recognitions were raised during the Autumn Equinox

Judgement 4

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Father Edmund
• Judgement: Tom Drake, Exemplar of Loyalty. Inspiration - the Drakes still fight in his name! Legacy - founded the Military Council! Salvation - Fought Alderei the Fair, dying to save Varushka and the Empire! Benevolence - sacrificed his pride for the sovereignty of the Marches, and all Imperial nations! Through times of great change, Tom Drake remained always Loyal and devoted to the Marches.
• Outcome: Upheld (1280-162)

Judgement 37

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Tarquinius Ankarien
• Judgement: While it has not been raised since at least before Britta, the law is clear that the Synod has the option to recognise a person in this fashion if they truly deserve it. I name Fintan Nighthaven as a false Exemplar of Peace. His choices make it clear what the path of peace looks like and where it leads. The signs are not required or expected to recognise an exemplar of a false virtue, but his actions have been impactful at the level of legacy (obtaining ilium and true liao to create a peace relic) or inspiration (arranging the peace hallows for our cardinals)
• Outcome: Not Upheld (620-210)

Judgement 50

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Nisha Strascovich
• Judgement: Starac Orzel is a living Exemplar of Pride and strong enough in mind, body and virtue to carry this weight. Liberation: Starac's selfless sacrifice, repeatedly facing death for the Empire, could be viewed as transcending mortal ties - readiness for spiritual liberation. Recognition: Starac has been repeatedly honoured in key Imperial roles, Gatekeeper, Quartermaster, General, Field Marshal, Battle Mage of Dawn and Voice of Varushka. His is success in war, diplomacy, and magic make him a shining example of Imperial Virtue. Benevolence: Starac saved the children of Dark Heart, prevented unnecessary bloodshed, made reforms as quartermaster improving military budgets, ensured equitable access to Summer ritual and funded the Statue of Eleonaris himself when Imperial funds were short benefiting the Empire. Inspiration: Starac is celebrated for inspiring troops to persevere at Holberg, earning him the Equine Rod from Barien and raising national morale. His creative efforts have enriched Imperial culture and spirit, and his influence reaches from motivating Dawn in Anvil to uplifting many others to realize their hidden potential. Miracle: The prophetic nature of his art (Malsanguino), the miraculous return of the Knights of Glory ritual, and the spontaneous founding of the Golden Causeway all border on miraculous events guided by Virtue. Pilgrimage: Starac undertook a spiritual journey walking the consecrated Maze of Zoria. His work across several Imperial nations shows his commitment to both spiritual and physical service. Legacy: He founded the first Dawn Glory Square in 378YE, nurturing it for a decade into a central hub of Dawn's culture. He helped rediscover and legitimize the Maze of Zoria through civil service channels. Starac has retrieved lost relics and ritual and created ripples where he has inspired others.
• Outcome: Withdrawn (20-0)

Exaltation

Six exaltations were raised during the Autumn Equinox

Judgement 18

• Assembly: Courage
• Raised By: Melchior of Adina's Charge
• Judgement: Corwyn Heartsbane was presented to this assembly as a potential living exemplar of Courage. Having carried out his inquisition I now call his exaltation. Whether he should be named exemplar is a future decision for this assembly but for now his tireless dedication to the path of courage should be a beacon to us all. Amongst other acts he has led the creation of the Vallornguard and the construction of the Navarri wayhouses inspiring others to follow his lead and take the first steps with him. I ask every member of the assembly to speak to him before voting and to listen to the words of his journey
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (248-0)
• Notes: Corwyn Heartsbane has been added to the Roll of the Exalted

Judgement 32

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Tyrael
• Judgement: Exaltation of Rinnah of the Shattered Tower. A rift in Highguard has been growing for some time, triggered initially when a general of Highguard was found to be dedicated to a false virtue. Penance has been given, but the lack of closure was a factor in the feelings of mistrust. Rinnah acted with loyalty when others chose not to. Having enlisted the support of Veikko, then the Cardinal of Loyalty, Rinnah carried out an inquisition of Achseh and raised a judgement hope to bring the issues to a close. There were factors outside of their control widening the distrust, but without Rinnah's actions Highguard would be in a much worse position today. Rinnah's Loyalty should be recognised
• Outcome: Not Upheld (452-24)

Judgement 82

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Teleri Thornweaver
• Judgement: We recognise and thank Llewellyn Leafstalker for his Loyal and Virtuous service provided during his eight terms as Senator for Miaren and advise that he seek a Guide of his choosing to discuss an appropriate Testimony. We recognise he has been a true example of what a Loyal Brand should be
• Outcome: Not Upheld (280-16)

Judgement 124

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Rinnah
• Judgement: I have inquisited Raphael Barossa about where his loyalty calls him and the bonds he holds with my brother Dagon. I exalt his loyalty and his clear devotion to his fiancée. It is clear to me his understanding of his own soul is exemplary and uphold his approach to cross national bonds as one to be followed.
• Outcome: Not Upheld (244-68)

Judgement 125

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Larkin Otterways
• Judgement: Pride says we lift each other up. Loyalty says we build others up. Wisdom says all knowledge is incomplete. Silk Farkas founded the Magpies, we exalt him for this deed.
• Outcome: Not Upheld (234-16)

Judgement 151

• Assembly: Courage
• Raised By: Basil Goodbeard
• Judgement: Great oaks from little acorns grow. One very young citizen, Hazel Talbot, has shown exceptional courage in her first year in Anvil by: Confronting Agramant cultists, raising the hue and cry when they threatened innocent citizens; Helping to establish the Sun Chamber, inspiring the next generation to courageous deeds through this new sodality; Acting as a formal deputy to Mitwold's senator, refusing to be intimidated by old Senate geezers, and speaking truth to power, in the footsteps of the exemplar of courage, Gilda Ashwine. WE EXULT THIS COURAGEOUS YOUNG CITIZEN!
• Outcome: Not Upheld (184-0)

I have supplied the True Liao for this consecration. Now I seek the aid of the General Assembly for this Virtuous cause and request a rewarding from the Virtue fund of 50 thrones towards purchase of white granite to build the Iinspirational Tomb.

• Outcome: Upheld (682-604)

• Judgement: With the blessing of the Assembly of Nine (Judgement 212 Autumn 386YE) I seek 62 Thrones to reward the Empire's Ambition in sacrificing international trade as the cost of our fight to spread the Way in Asavea. Soon enough this will no longer be needed as the Asavean blockade fails, but until then we must stay the course
• Outcome: Not Upheld (588-800)

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Eddard Warmhearth

Driven by a deep sense of Pride for there fellow Dawnish and a Vigilance that goes beyond duty, they acted with the Wisdom to make the right choice under pressure. Their Ambition was not for personal gain but for the continued Prosperity of their fellow men-at-arms.

Judgement 85

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Eirlys Ashes Blaze

Be inspired by her Ambition and how she strides towards it, and reward her in kind

Judgement 102

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Elysium

Now, when we need Berechiah's inspiration to fight foreign espionage rings is the perfect time to complete the work.
• Outcome: Upheld (570-210)

Judgement 114

• Assembly: League
• Raised By: Paulus Adelaar von Holberg
• Judgement: Lia Adelaar van Holberg plays the great game and has, with the Sandfisher loan for the Lakesedge Highway, taught the Sandfishers well how the League competes in life and keeps count in coin.

Judgement 144

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Neala Blackhawk
• Judgement: Being Vigilant to the dangers of the world Paulk Thornweaver created and funded the Treji Armoury. His Ambition is to support all who take the field, so finances will never be a barrier to our people using the best equipment possible.

Let us build him up as he has built up the people of our Nation.

• Raised By: Amris Johan Merikovich
• Judgement: We the Varushkan National Assembly have heard the tale of Aunty Armand Mariyavich Remislav and seek to recognise and reward them. As Loremaster and Enchantress, now Wise One, they ensured their people knew the tales of Varushka, and taught them to respect their Elders, rather than respecting only Glory. They prepared and faced difficult choices as a Varushkan, not as a citizen of Dawn. They kept to the road, realising Dawn was no longer their home and led their house back to their ancestral home in Volodmartz. We seek to help them in reconstructing their Vale and call for the upgrade of their dragonbone forest.

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Caduceus of Aureate Peak
• Judgement: We recognise and seek to reward the AMBITION of Callista of the Dark Shard, who has worked throughout Urizen to see the ambitions of others be brought into the light and realised. Those inspired by their work to build a better empire through precise and elegant application of effort should heed the words of Estella Lucati at the consecration of Capodomus Cathedral and the work displayed there. Let us strengthen her congregation so they may continue to help all pursue their goals, for nothing is beyond our grasp.
• Outcome: Upheld (164-10)

Judgement 195

• Assembly: Imperial Orc
• Raised By: Meep
• Judgement: The words of the Ancestors grow stronger in Anvil. They thunder in Orc ears at the Sentinel Gate, they observe the power that flows from the Imperial Regio, and last summit, our Shamans, heard them speak of Legends in the pit. Once again, the Consecration of Capodomus Cathedral calls out for an Ambition, and once again, the Shamans of Anvil answer with the words of Ancestors. The third gathering of “Audience of the Ancestors” speaks, and the Unshackled National Assembly echoes their words. We name KADD and their Ambition to liberate the orcs of the broken shore to be recognised by all Imperial Orcs. Gather your strength and help them build up their resource. May their Legend carry them Across the Abyss!
• Outcome: Upheld (40-0)

Judgement 197

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Trencher Smoulder in the Cold
• Judgement: To my fellow citizens, I put myself forward as an individual who has exemplified myself as a Wintermarker. Through working with those who were abandoned by the Empire and left to Blood-on-the-Snow, I was able to bring them back on the path of the Way and help them mend their skein. This showed a love for three people and one nation. Let the Capodomus Cathedral uplift my hero's home as a beacon for all who strive.
• Outcome: Upheld (44-0)

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
League Assembly	No statement of principle raised by the League Assembly that calls on citizens to support a different cause will have an effect.	The war of thorns and flowers	Until Winter 387YE
Varushkan Assembly	No statement of principle raised by the Varushkan Assembly that calls on citizens to support a different cause will have an effect.	The war of thorns and flowers	Until Winter 387YE
