Special Considerations

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