Overview

During the Winter Solstice 387YE, the Imperial Synod raised 156 judgements.

Statement of Principle

Fifty-seven statements of principle were presented to the assemblies during the Winter Solstice

Judgement 11

Assembly: Way
Raised By: Brynn Tendfallen
Judgement: The crises of recent years have exposed a weakness in the Imperial Way. Wisdom teaches us to test what we know. We must work to build a Way that is strengthened by truth, not threatened by it. This is the highest calling of our Assembly.
Outcome: Not Upheld (46-100)
Notes: An Assembly's call to action requires a greater majority, as per the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 13

Assembly: Marcher
Raised By: Brother Luke
Judgement: The scars of Whittle run deep. A people massacred due to zealotry. The Marchers know too well the risks of following your traditions. While the Marchers have no intent of undermining the Synod’s spiritual authority, the fact of the matter remains; A Marcher, A Marcher. Should the Synod proscribe the beliefs of the Marcher Orcs as heretical, the Marches as a whole will defend their neighbours as they would any other Marcher unduly persecuted. To echo the words of the First Empress: “You will take all of us, or none of us.” The Synod may make it’s choice.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (146-50)

Judgement 16

Assembly: Marcher
Raised By: Jedidiah Boon
Judgement: The sacred Hallowed Bells of Virtue have come to gather Marcher Inspiration, shepherded by Ardeniel of the Woodwych Harts! To Upwold, the Bell of Prosperity will chime the work song, keeping the ploughs in line; the Bell of Wisdom will turn minds to tactics to fortify our land. To Bregasland, the Bell of Loyalty will follow General Amberlain, echoing her call; the Bell of Ambition will sound with the Strong Reeds as they rise. To Mournwold, the Bell of Pride will ring from the hillside of Rebellion’s Ridge, for the miners’ cause; the Bell of Vigilance will beat the bounds, readying for attack. To Mitwold, where we would send others, we send only one; the Bell of Courage. Sound it on the border. Sound it over Fort Fidelis. Sound it where the Jotun will hear. We are a Nation of hospitality and a Nation at war. We will protect these Bells with our lives and honour carrying them on their journey.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (196-0)

Judgement 20

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Eurybia of the Wanderers
Judgement: The Urizen national assembly approves the awarding of the Golden Cascade to Darien Numbers. Their use of the Eyes of Prosperity upon Zenith, and their generous support in building the benefice of the Golden Cascade proves themselves a virtuous friend and ally of Urizen. Citizens of Zenith - witness your donations in use.
Outcome: Upheld (206-0)

Judgement 21

Assembly: Ambition
Raised By: Rafael Barossa d’Apulian
Judgement: The Hallowing of the Master teaches us to use others as tools to further our own aspirations: spreading the Way across the world. We should therefore seek a way to incorporate neighbouring foreign powers, and defeated barbarian nations, into the Empire as vassal-states, using them as a buffer against external aggression while their culture adapts to Imperial rule. Ultimately, this may allow them to join the Empire as an eleventh, twelfth, or twentieth nation once they have learned the Way and their place in it. We should look first to apply this to the Druj septs once we defeat their leaders, the vile Buruk-Tepel. This is our Highest Calling.
Outcome: Upheld (368-80)
Notes: An Assembly's call to action requires a greater majority, as per the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 22

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Dagon Barossa of the Shattered Tower
Judgement: The truly virtuous are loyal even through hardship and misfortune. The Loyalty Assembly took the first step to anchor the Way in Asavea and we will not falter now! We search for Loyalty sects inspired by the actions of Exemplar Alberto Acciai that we might support to help further anchor the Way in Asavea. This is our Highest Calling.
Outcome: Upheld (302-162)
Notes: An Assembly's call to action requires a greater majority, as per the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 25

Assembly: League
Raised By: Samantha “Tongs” Barossa
Judgement: As PRELATE OF ADELMAR’S SHRINE, I CALL ALL LEAGUISH BRAVO’S and MERCENARIES TO RAISE THEIR SWORDS AGAINST THE DARKNESS IN THE WILD PLACES OF SPIRAL.

Notes: A call to action for the League to clear out the threats present in Spiral, as per the My friends are my estate wind of fortune

Judgement 56

Assembly: Freeborn
Raised By: Isario i Riqueza
Judgement: Live brazenly, fiercely, and truthfully; so that your life becomes proof of what is right. Cast down the chains of tyranny, fear and empty tradition wherever you find them! Act with Courage to choose what you know is true and moral, and confront the world when it stands against you. By inspired by the Exemplar Ahraz, who had the Courage to champion freedom, dignity, and prosperity, and seized them for all, through daring action and unflinching conviction. We were brave, wise, and ambitious enough to reject slavery, break it’s chains on our Empire and then on the world. We are the Freeborn heirs of a legacy of brazen passion, morality, and liberty. We do not just think it, or believe it, we live it. We are fiercely proud of our culture and its freedom of ideas. We must protect and nurture both so that they can flourish. This is our Highest Calling.
Outcome: Not Upheld (32-116)

Judgement 35

Assembly: Wisdom
Raised By: Gwen Tendfallen
Judgement: The Way as it exists is built upon a crumbling foundation of hearsay. The truth was supposedly contained in High Guard libraries, but those have been burned on the accusation of falsehood. It is paramount to the goals of the Way and the Empire that this hearsay be challenged. To test what we think we know about the nature of Virtue, the labyrinth, and the Way is the highest calling of this assembly.
Outcome: Upheld (248-96)
Notes: An Assembly's call to action requires a greater majority, as per the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 36

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Nathair Autumngale
Judgement: From the very heartlands of this Empire, to the furthest lands touched by Virtue. We are the blood of the Empire, we are Shepherds of the Great Dance and we find ourselves entwined with our fellow Nations as never before. Paths in the dance braided together in these moments. Bring our voice through the veins of the trods that cross the lands while they resonate with our song. In the midst of winter we gather at the hearth, at home. At Wayhouse, Stead, and Tarry. We trade Song and Story with one another, and regales our history, our tale, our culture. Take heed these words, commit to memory these songs, and as winter turns to spring, bring them as a chord along these resonant trods. Bring them to our closest allies and the furthest reaches of our Empire both, so that all know that even when this magic has faded. As sure as the seasons do change. Where Navarr go, music follows.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (265-0)

Judgement 38

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Nere
Judgement: With the new year Highguard reaffirms its claim on the Salt Flats of Sanath once more. Necropolis is our past. Bastion is our present. Leen will be our future. These 3 cities will become the defining Pilgrimage path of our faith. And Leen itself will be our gateway to lands far across the sea and through its virtuous rebirth we will show the world the power of our faith. Highguard, there will be challenges in this endeavor, so we call on you to plan ahead. Consider the challenges we will face and how we may prepare to face them. We shall sow Virtue where they wrought filth.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (542-10)
Notes: References a previous judgement from the Summer Solstice 386YE

Judgement 40

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Brother Hans
Judgement: During the Fall of Therunin, Great Forest Orcs were taken by the Druj and are now enslaved accross the Salt Flats and The Mallum. Viture calls for us to show that the Empire will do anything to never allow slavery to happen under our watch. Our unconquered and military units, use your expertise to liberate the Great Forest Orcs who where enslaved by the Druj. We have laid claim on the salt flats - this is one step of many to inspire the inhabitants and our allies with our virtuous deed
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (500-0)

Judgement 42

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Nicodemus of Balthazar’s Vineyard
Judgement: The Grand Inspiration is now two-thirds complete. In those stones lie a promise. Designed by an Orc and a Marcher and funded by contributions from citizens of all ten nations of the Empire, this peerless structure proves to the world that in the Way of Virtue, and in this Empire, all people can achieve their highest destiny. Let us ignite the Empire’s Pride and ensure the greatest construction of our lifetimes is a flourishing success for all. The Virtuous must create what none can rival. This is our highest calling.
Outcome: Not Upheld (34-132)
Notes: An Assembly's call to action requires a greater majority, as per the The highest calling wind of fortune. Refers to the Grand Inspiration of the Way.

Judgement 44

Assembly: Wisdom
Raised By: Dr Lysimachus
Judgement: At recent summits, we’ve had Wanderer Tulpas showing up in Anvil. Going round tossing out curses as if they were handing out sweets on t’sweet corner, and just generally being a bloody nuisance. This includes cursing some of us as a “Lesson in Hubris”. After asking us for directions.. Now some may say ‘who are we to question the workings of the minds of such lofty and unknowable entities?’ And I says Bugger That! If some Pretentious Polestar-Wannabe Pillock is gonna curse Virtuous folk for “Hubris” because they’re the one who had to stop and ask Us for directions, then I’ve got too much Imperial Pride to let their folly slide. Besides I thought the Stars were meant to be Bright? So Sod off to these Sneering Stellar Snobs Says !. Tha’s not welcome in our lands.
Outcome: Upheld (166-68)

Judgement 47

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Kellin Embercast
Judgement: Bloodcrow Meep is campaigning to rebuild Thornsong House in Skarsind, where it can benefit from the expertise of the Yerende. I know that this will not sit easy with some in Navarr. Last Spring, Travid Longest Path’s statement that Thornsong House is “the living legacy of Therunin”, the heart of Navarr’s potioncraft, was upheld in this Assembly with a greater majority. But Courage tells us to respond to defeat by adapting our strategy and trying anew. We do not know when Therunin will return to us, but we do know that Skarsind is secure from the grasping hands of the Druj. Our nation already has an enclave there, thanks to the Ashen Tears and their Wayhouse. I urge this Assembly to throw its support behind Meep’s plan. Let us share the fruits of Therunin’s proud legacy, and forge a new one together in the forests of Skarsind.
Outcome: Upheld (225-16)

Judgement 53

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Eli of the Cenotaph

They seek to gather the stories of our heroes so they can be used to inspire all nations. We must all seek them out and share our stories. The heroes of Wintermark should be recognised as the shining example of virtue to all that they are to us.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (308-0)

Judgement 74

Assembly: Varushkan
Raised By: Maja Świętosława Przewałski
Judgement: Years ago, a (now dead) Varushkan destroyed the Jotun meeting place at the request of their patron Agramant. It has now been built anew as a place of hospitality to further closing the Jotun front. Sulkavaris is satisfied and no longer angry with our nation. Now is the time for the peoples of the north to come together as per J67 Autumn 387. Let us work together to prepare for the war with the Thule.
Outcome: Upheld (168-52)

Judgement 77

Assembly: Courage
Raised By: Melchior of Adina's Charge
Judgement: While we recognise virtue, we must also face the unwelcome truths of the empire's role in actions past. Whilst we vote to declare Rahvin as an exemplar, extolling his virtue and the virtuous inspiration we believe he can teach others. We also wish to recognise the Empire as responsible for his death. In the heat of battle, a case of mistaken identity, Imperial citizens killed Rahvin and those he was with. We face this truth not only in the action that it occurred, but also recognise that it was the Empire's actions which drove Rahvin's followers into this situation and back into captivity under the Druj for years to come. Where rwe have failed before, the light of courage teaches us to see our mistakes and expose them to overcome them in future.
Outcome: Upheld (226-0)

Judgement 78

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Aldwyn the Glorious
Judgement: The rebuilding of the Hall of the Soturi represents the start of a bold new story, no matter what is built there. When we rebuild it, let it be witnessed and remembered as a site of import. As the legacy of the new army grows, let this become a place of pilgrimage and a sinecure established there.
Outcome: Upheld (140-70)
Notes: The Hall of the Soturi would serve to allow an army raised in the Kallavesi tradition to become fearless. More information can be found in the Flight of birds wind of fortune

Assembly: Varushkan
Raised By: Kasmira Milankova Ygrev

Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (202-0)

Judgement 82

Assembly: The Way
Raised By: Yosephus Morningson
Judgement: We are the Assembly of the Way. Our purpose is to bring new souls to knowledge of the whole Way, and lead them to full understanding. There are Seven Virtues that guide the spirit, Seven that lead to Great and Inspiring deeds. Yet there are Asaveans who know but one, others who know but six, while others claim a physical Labyrinth. This is our highest calling - to enlighten all souls, beginning with Asavea, that they may know the Seven Virtues, the Eight Doctrines, and the One True Way.

Notes: An Assembly's call to action requires a greater majority, as per the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 91

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Task
Judgement: The Empire has changed in the last hundred years more than could possibly be imagined. We have orc citizens now... And thus we should shape our laws to reflect that. The Prosperity assembly suggests that the religious crime of idolatry be amended to include orc citizens of the Empire. Correcting the wording as follows: Subsuming a sapients' will and destiny to any inhuman entity or force. This includes the worship, veneration or exaltation of any such being or power. Anything less than this in law is seen as an affront to the virtue of orcish citizens.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (308-0)

Judgement 94

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Sufyan i Zuhri i Guerra
Judgement: Building on this Assembly's recognition of the Exemplar Lady Elenor Novarion, we hold the growth and prospering of her legacy, the Proffered Hand Network of sanctuaries for refugees and freed slaves, to be the greatest present opportunity for spreading Pride across the Empire and beyond, and seek to make it this Assembly's focus for the coming year. We support the Network in completing its ambition to build a sanctuary in every nation, with only facilities in the Marches and the League remaining to be built. We encourage the Prideful to look further for new ways to support the Network in its mission to heal deep-cut scars of slavery, to offer compassion and an open hand to those in need, to uplift those who have suffered to future greatness. This is the highest calling of our assembly.
Outcome: Not Upheld (52-122)
Notes: An Assembly's call to action requires a greater majority, as per the The highest calling wind of fortune

Notes: This judgement was elevated by Lenarius Ankarien, the Cardinal of Ambition

Judgement 98

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Solas of the Spire of the Waxin Sun

Judgement 104

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Callista of the Dark Shard
Judgement: We have given our assurances to the Urizen "rebels" of Spiral - who have courageously chosen to leave the Empire rather than cede their ancestral homes to the League - such as the Silver Flame - that we hold them to be Urizen. Invoking the Chalice that rejoins us, we encourage our Wise magicians with imperial lore mastery to assist them with their research, as well as our vigilant priests to advise and aid them in their dealings with pernicious eternals.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (192-0)

Judgement 106

Assembly: Dawnish
Raised By: Lady Gwendoloena de Sarroi
Judgement: The Dawnish national assembly, now that the time is right, encourages Dawnish citizens to set forth and settle the regions of the Barrens that are not ceded to foreigners. With the important exception of the Bleaks as we are not settling to harass the Karass, we are settling to promote virtue for Dawn and Dawnish citizens.
Outcome: Upheld (334-32)

Judgement 111

Assembly: Freeborn

Judgement 114

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Yrkja Riansson Sigeing
Judgement: The vision that led us to Gull Isle showed godhi and mystic fostering each other's children, Jotun and Imperial learning from each other as equals. This is not a place for preaching, and we do not intend to do so. Rather let us display virtue through our words and deeds in this place. And likewise witness how the inspiration of the ancestors is borne out in the acts of those we meet with.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (256-14)

Judgement 117

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Eskah Swift Hart
Judgement: Over the winter, all Navarri have heard the song "Painted", we reveal to you now that the writer and singer of "Painted" is Idwynn Splitroot, through ritual Idwynn sang "Painted" directly to Navarr & Thorn so they know we continue their great ambition to destroy the vallorn. Many have heard two voices singing back to Idwynn; they were Navarr & Thorn themselves. Know that we have heard their voices singing in unison with Idwynn & all our nation.
Outcome: Upheld (138-24)
Notes: References the song spread across the Empire, as per the The tune without words wind of fortune

Judgement 119

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Jesper Luukasson
Judgement: At the Summer Solstice of 383YE, Rane Sherarding plead clemency for the members of Zepheniah's Lament, who had shattered the mirrors of Sarvos to free thousands of souls being kept from the labyrinth by Skathe, then raised funds towards their fine. Sharing in the burdens of the necessary deed earned her name Shardbearer. Since then she has borne not only the shards of Sarvos but the weight of duty to the Empire; serving as the Inquisitor of Pride and then as Senator Kallavesa. She has fiercely fought for Wintermark's interests and often asked of us the hard and necessary questions. Her voice will echo in eternity as the priest who consecrated our sacred marsh. Her wisdom has reached out across the Empire time and again in Senate, Synod and in the Imperial Address. We see the burdens you bear and we name you the pride of our nation. We name Rane Shardbearer to the Chronicle of Heroism.

Bree has always shown her pride in the Marches, as proud and loyal Marchers we owe it to her memory to build the walls, and call them Brees' Stand.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (154-0)

Judgement 125

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Sister Juliette of Balthazar's Vineyard
Judgement: Our siblings in Varushka have called for Livardz to rise from the ashes. In peerless kinship, Highguard answers their call. In Loyalty, let all those who can be spared from their duties journey north to help erase the stain of the Cold Sun and support the pride and prosperity of Varushka, in accordance with judgement 80.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (474-22)

Judgement 126

Assembly: Vigilance
Raised By: Pete Tong
Judgement: Imperial citizens themselves humour malign agents by consorting amongst them. Beware the enemy within. Expermination does not justify reckless acts by mages which threaten the safety of the Empire. Do not fail to call into question those who knowingly endanger us by engaging with the Whisper Gallery or any other such entity. Hold them to account.
Outcome: Upheld (172-32)

Judgement 127

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Lenore Hearthweaver
Judgement: Veikko Bondforger is a name known all across Anvil. It is known to be the name of a hero who has built up others and forged bonds of Loyalty that stretch across every nation of the Empire. They have inspired pilgrims of Loyalty across the Empire leading the Loyalty Assembly, and raised the funds to rebuild the Hall of Rund, restoring it to the Stormcrows of Wintermark. Veikko has delved into their own skein and learned wisdom from a past life and from a Krampus curse, then returned to share that wisdom with others, sparing no effort to bind the broken and forge them stronger. The very name of Bondforger is precious to us - Wintermark rose in fury when the memory of it was threatened. We therefore name Veikko Bondforger to the Chronicle of Heroism.

Notes: Veikko Bondforger has been added to the Chronicle of Heroism

Judgement 130

Assembly: Dawnish
Raised By: Dagonet de Gauvain

Outcome: Upheld (206-20)

Judgement 131

Let the first words carved into the side of the Ossuary be: "When faced with the choice between death or protecting what is worthy, we face no choice at all. For if we stand our ground, our ancestors will welcome us on the other side of the abyss". - Jannik of the Rahvin, slaughtered by the Gryphon's Pride, ancestor of Bloodcrow Knott. His words speak of facing a force determined to wipe out your culture. The Rahvin still live due to the ultimate sacrifice of their heroes.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (110-0)

Judgement 156

Assembly: Imperial Orc
Raised By: Skywise Gralka
Judgement: I was afraid, I broke my ties to the general in the dark, cut marks that made me his from my skin, then fled into the Sarangrave swamp to escape, the mud was deep and stank of poison. I was alone, the banners painted Druj did not matter here. And then came the sound of Drums, I followed that sound. I did not want to be alone. I saw a light. In that light the shaman and preachers of the Summer Storm passionately spoke of worth and virtue and I wanted for what they had. The Imperial Orc National Assembly encourages the shaman and preachers of the second legion to guide the lost and those who have escaped the Druj.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (110-0)

Judgement 157

Assembly: Imperial Orc
Raised By: Bloodcrow Meep
Judgement: The National Assembly extends its thanks to the Black Tillers for their careful cultivation of Hearkerner's Hope; and for the insight and intention that guides its creation. Alas, the yield of the Legion's Rookery has already been committed to a competing opportunity, and cannot be turned aside. Even so, we recognise the worth of this work and would still seek access to Hearkener's Hope. The Assembly therefore asks whether the Black Tillers might consider an alternative for example, allowing orc priests to purchase it through the exchange of liao. Let no good root go untended.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (110-0)
Notes: The Black Tillers presented an offer to the Imperial Orcs to take ownership of the Legion's Rookery in the Every day of your life wind of fortune.

Judgement 159

Assembly: Dawnish
Raised By: Enchantress Areloe Larmallevés
Judgement: People of Dawn, our cousins in the Marches need our help: They need to raise their fifth army. However they can't due to their obligation to feed the Thule. Our senators and I ask us to help, this is not a permanent fixture. Once the breadbasket is expanded they have promised to take the obligation back. Let us help! Let us work with our cousins! Let us show what Dawn does for our Empire! Our National Assembly endorse feeding the Thule!
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (420-0)
Notes: References the motion raised by the Senator for Semmerholm and passed by the Senate that replaced the food sent to the Thule as part of the ongoing Thule treaty

Judgement 160

Assembly: Marcher
Raised By: Fredegar Bloodmouth
Judgement: Courageous Marchers of the Gullet! The end is in sight for the plague of coral husks. The National Assembly calls for citizens along the Gullet's coast to collect samples of coral wisely and with vigilance. If this task is undertaken and an infection is present, seek the assistance of a shatter magician and qualified physick. Samples, alive or dead, should go to Houses Goatsbridge and Myrtle for further investigation. Noting the loyalty and pride of the bold marchers, the Assembly also warns special vigilance in this task. If it comes between Marcher lives or husks samples, choose life every time.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (168-0)

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Exarch Aemon of the Suns of Couros
Judgement: The Sarcophan folk of Alivetti estates celebrate their enclave, but we must all remain vigilant to the threats it may represent. While they seem to be honest traders, their ways are not our ways, and their faith is very different to ours. Their refusal to acknowledge Imperial law is a challenge to the Empire.

Revocation

One revocation was presented to the assemblies during the Winter Solstice

Judgement 142

Assembly: Varushkan
Raised By: Rosanna Vtrachenich

Outcome: Upheld (1532-580)

Judgement 8

Assembly: General
Raised By: Tribune
Judgement: The General Assembly proscribes the creation of statues in the likeness of any eternal. It is idolatry to commission a structure designed to honour an inhuman entity.
Outcome: Not Upheld (1094-1254)

Judgement 17

Assembly: General
Raised By: Corey Wayfarer
Judgement: The General Assembly proscribes the Yaelian Heresy - the belief in the Land Without Tears and in Yael as a rebirth of the First Empress. These have shown to be false.
Outcome: Upheld (1880-110)

Judgement 24

Assembly: General
Raised By: Vaclav Mladenovich Kosti
Judgement: The Eternal Sadogua, the Brother of Wizards, has boasted of being the same entity known in the Iron Confederacy as Dumon, Father of Lies, a god within the Suranni pantheon. Nonetheless, he constantly seeks tribute, veneration, and adulation from the citizens of the Empire. The General Assembly proscribes the creation of statues, fanes, or edifices created in honour of Sadogua. It is idolatry to commission or to build such a thing.
Outcome: Not Upheld (860-992)

Judgement 97

Assembly: General
Raised By: Brother Geoffrey Orchard

Assembly: General
Raised By: Syene

Outcome: Not Upheld (698-864)

Judgement 128

Assembly: General
Raised By: Felix Saltspire
Judgement: Venerating an icon of an Eternal is Idolatry. Producing an Image of one is just Art. To make art exalts your pride. To venerate an eternal subsumes your will.
Outcome: Upheld (496-244)

Judgement 145

Assembly: General
Raised By: Eevi of the Gadrai
Judgement: The Synod proscribes entering into the service of an eternal or tulpa, where the service subsumes the individual's free will. This is idolatry. This is different from bartering for limited boons in service to your virtue.

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Eirlys Ashes Blaze

Outcome: Upheld (202-0)

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Arvel Tendfallen
Judgement: I call Silas of the Cenotaph to inquisition at the Tendfallen camp in Navarr at 11am on the Saturday of this summit to discuss the virtue of his decision to canvas against a certain judgement last summit.

Judgement 57

Assembly: Wisdom

Outcome: Upheld (248-0)

Judgement 85

Assembly: Wisdom
Raised By: Nim of Ebon's Hall

Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (332-10)

Judgement 96

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Brynmor Rootround
Judgement: I call Neve Dreadshield, of the Quiet Step to inquisition. This winter Neve has sacrificed all her oaths to save the people. As Navarr, our tattoos make us one nation.

Outcome: Upheld (233-0)

Judgement 101

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Donato of the Crucible
Judgement: I call Cosme i Guerra, magistrate, to discuss: their role in cursing Veikko Bondforger; the virtue in this action; how this was not acting in the spirit of retribution. Wanderer's camp, Urizen, Sat 5pm
Outcome: Upheld (120-0)

Judgement 150

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Iniska Ashwood

Sanction

Judgement 5

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Jedidiah Boon
Judgement - Vindication: Sabella of the Silent Tide; Only a person’s own actions may be judged under an Inquisitor’s gaze, and each action you have taken has been guided by Virtue. The Proud embrace their past acts and strive to repeat - or learn from - them going forward. You did not earn the steadfast Loyalty of your Chapter for nothing; your trust in them to conduct themselves with Virtue is testament to that Loyalty returned. You have shown unfaltering Pride in taking the path you deem Virtuous and continuing to walk it. Your Chapter walks with you. The shared desire expressed to let sleeping dogs lie has been accepted Virtuously. Inquisition is our sacred tool for raising the sword when required, just as it is one for putting down the sword where needed - let this Vindication acknowledge the Pride in your actions and bring conclusion to previous division.
Outcome: Upheld (126-34)

Judgement 15

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Jedidiah Boon
Judgement - Vindication: Myshki Marishka Letuchaya, Little Boyar of Levski, Senator for Miekarova, Leader of the Vale’s Heart, lighter of the lamp in the dark. Your visage is etched in stone, your hand now and always fortifying Delev. The Little Boyar’s Welcome stands; your Legacy stands with it. It is clear as a cloudless day that you have carved out your Benevolence in defiance of the Cold Sun, building refuge for those displaced by its hatred. Stories follow you from Anvil; how you have raised castle walls, been the architect of armies. What Inspiration this will become will be for your friends and followers to witness. Pride uplifts. Inquisition tests. The Signs of the Exemplar have ignited themselves in your actions. Surely as you pursue Virtue closer to home, your future deeds will be watched closer still.
Outcome: Upheld (160-0)

Judgement 31

Assembly: Courage
Raised By: Maarit Suvidottir
Judgement - Vindication: Escalating J231, Summer 387. I inquisited Viviane Barossa about the courage of her past year of challenges to fulfil a vow to carry a hallowing. I however failed because it became incredibly clear throughout this inquisition that what motivates the soul and body of Viviane is the burning flame of Ambition. Excessionism is a heresy and one that she does not follow, she committed to this challenge with her whole self. Her ambition in this act is the salvation of Axos and bringing them to the Way and out of their misunderstanding of the world. Her route is reaching out to them so they can see we can be worked with before encouraging them to come to us, to learn from our schools of thought in exchange knowing that this will help expose the failings in their philosophy and use of these dangerous auras. While intellectually she understood this aura she told me she was still not prepared enough for the way it pushed her to freeze up, to fawn to threats, to want to give everything over and just perform what the other person wanted. She condemns this aura as unvirtuous and has and I’m sure will again speak at length against its use. She seemed justifiably angry that she has had to spend a year wasting political capital and time being inquisited, doing penance, being threatened and assaulted, and having to avoid helping reform doctrine but I think felt it worthwhile to build this bridge with Axos.
Outcome: Upheld (166-10)

Judgement 32

Assembly: Courage
Raised By: Maarit Suvidottir
Judgement - Vindication: Escalating Judgement 226 Summer 387 - I clear Genoveva and Rafael Barossa d’Apulian of any nonsense about running a “dark crusade” sacrificing virtue of innocents. If debate and discussion be the food of priests I have eaten well in this inquisition. These are courageous citizens of the Empire who are dedicating themselves to both the material and spiritual conditions of human souls both inside and outside of our borders and facing the challenges and problems we are in with courage, without pretending such obstacles do not exist. While they appear to disagree on Asavea they are both devoted to liberation and protection of souls and spreading The Way, and work towards such things even occasionally at the expense of personal relationships. These views may also stem from their cooperation enabling the Night Fane to Sung in Spiral going through Senate, they however have clear views on the dangers of this and how it is being overseen to understand the role that Fanes may play in the future of the Empire and wish us to understand them. They’re both magicians with above board dealings with a handful of Eternals. If you wish to understand their virtue talk to them.
Outcome: Upheld (236-10)

Judgement 37

Assembly: General
Raised By: Galene Netherwatch
Judgement - Vindication: I vindicate Sakari, Grandmaster of the Rod and Shield for raising a Declaration to uninterdict Rivers Run Red. His Ambition to achieve his goals through any means is clear. Just because you disagree with a person’s actions does not mean they are unvirtuous.
Outcome: Upheld (742-96)

Judgement 39

Assembly: General
Raised By: Brother Geoffrey Orchard
Judgement - Penance: Escalating from Judgement 39 of Autumn 387: LUCA I TAZIEL I RIQUEZA, CARDINAL OF PROSPERITY, offered a clear description of the circumstances around Aunty Hem’s Dedication to Anarchy, her subsequent Inquisition, and the fact that he was aware of her status for a full season before undertaking any action. This was a failing of Vigilance, and in so failing the Cardinal missed an opportunity to pull Aunty Hem back from the brink. I have proposed - and the Cardinal has agreed - that the right Penance is for the Cardinal to SPEND A YEAR UNDER ANOINTINGS OF VIGILANCE. This will allow Luca to better know this Virtue, without interfering with the Cardinal’s duties to Prosperity. In Escalating I ask the Synod to ENDORSE this course of action and to SUPPORT Luca in knowing Prosperity better. Full Inquisition reports available from me and from the citizen noticeboard. (ON OPPOSITE WALL.)
Outcome: Upheld (1128-54)

Judgement 41

Assembly: Varushkan
Raised By: Lars Makarov
Judgement - Penance: I Lars Makarov present my findings of following the inquisition in Autumn 387. My aim was to examine if the 5 named members of the Guard, who had taken Dark Wine and were seen to bite fallen Jotun in battle during Spring and Summer, were using it as a cover for worship of Blood in the Snow. Conclusion - None of those named in Autumn 387 serve Agramant, but by following Virtue you will all stand better prepared for the trails to come. Judgement has been provided to Molli to bear the weight of a either the Hallowing of Permion or of Isaella’s Resolve for a year and for Slark to carry a Hallowing of the Questor, to remind you of the importance of asking questions. To help continue to live with virtue.
Outcome: Upheld (150-0)

Judgement 45

Assembly: General
Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
Judgement - Vindication: Lepidina, Chaplain Consular. I find your actions and virtue beyond reproach on the matter of Fintan Nighthaven. I look forward to watching the progression of your career.
Outcome: Upheld (862-52)

Judgement 46

Assembly: General
Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
Judgement - Penance: Aster Acae. You served as Chaplain Consular during the most critical juncture of Fintan Nighthaven’s tenure as Ambassador to Axos and found yourself ill-equipped for the necessities of the position. There is little point in wondering what could have been avoided had you acted. You did not. But you have done something few are capable of - you own your mistakes and learn from them. These lessons have cost much. Do not squander them.
Outcome: Upheld (812-72)

Judgement 62

Assembly: League
Raised By: Kaspar Yakovitch von Holberg
Judgement - Penance: Teodore Dusesna of the Camorra Dusesna, you have been inquisited regarding your accusations of idolatry against Genoveva Barossa d’Apulian, Sofonisba Amilcara, Cesare di Tassato and Raphael Barossa d’Apulian and have been found wanting. You admitted you knew your accusations had no basis in fact or as anything other than unfounded gossip yet you repeated them as factual truth. The Virtuous do not tear down others nor demean them, yet you spent your time in baseless accusations. Your penance is to spend the next three months speaking with those you spread your accusations to, advising them of the lack of substance and apologising for misleading them. Following this you will attend Anvil to make a public apology to those you wronged, at the League Assembly meeting 7pm Friday of the Spring Solstice.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (304-0)

Judgement 63

Assembly: General
Raised By: Elagabala
Judgement - Vindication: The Loyal serve without concern for reward, ignore qualms of actions they take for their loyalty, defend that which they care about, and protect those they love from harm regardless of any cost. Knight-Captain Alethia Wooder was not only willing to pay that cost, but did. I find no fault in their Virtue when treating with Agramant. It was impeccable. Her heart was guided by the true Loyalty of her soul, in accordance with all appropriate teachings and auras thereof. As she continues her journey on the path, she should remember that whilst the Loyal are ready to pay this cost, she should be conscious it never strays to acting as the Peaceful Martyr, willing to suffer to alleviate the suffering of others, as this, as she knows, is a malign spiritual intent.
Outcome: Upheld (888-58)

Judgement 73

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Iniska Ashwood
Judgement - Vindication: I called General Jean d'Apulian to inquisition as my first act as Inquisitor of Prosperity, as asked by members of House de Gauvain. Jean was open and honest about what happened to the permanent enchantment of Bound by Common Cause on the Wolves of War. His Loyalty shone through his words and actions. His Prosperity is also unquestionable; when the enchantment changed, the Empire would have had to pay to remove it. Jean was able to engineer another option, that saw the army able to resupply and stand stronger for the Empire. I would, however, prevail upon his virtue and ask that he find a way to remember Maurice de Gauvain to the League and the Empire
Outcome: Upheld (182-20)

Judgement 75

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Iniska Ashwood
Judgement - Vindication: Lugh Llaw Whisperleaf, I am not sure what I expected when I called you to Inquisition. Please thank your friends again for the song. I cannot call into question your virtue, your Prosperity, Loyalty, or Pride. You took heretical icons out of the grasping hands of would-be cultists, ensuring you did not impoverish those who found them, and show your work with Pride. Your decision to Hallow them to True Virtues and share them with fellow Magpies who prove themselves Virtuous and worthy is a good one. I look forwards to hearing from whoever investigates the Vallorn flowers you wear on your hat.
Outcome: Upheld (197-10)

Judgement 76

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Iniska Ashwood
Judgement - Vindication: Cadenza i Fontanilla i Riqueza, Nation's Hearth, I called you to Inquisition to investigate your Prosperity and I have not been left wanting. You work hard at the Spilled Tea each day, and do not rest on your laurels with the money you make. You give so much to your Nation, to your Empire, and you deserve recognition. So many see Prosperity as the act of making money, but you make sure it keeps moving, going where it needs to go. You remind people what a single soul can do when it chooses to. You walk the path of Prosperity well, and I seek to learn your example.
Outcome: Upheld (207-0)

Judgement 84

Assembly: Wisdom
Raised By: Nim of Ebon's Hall
Judgement - Condemnation: Gisli, you told me that beneath a shroud of your own creation lay one of the true Virtues of the Way - but I found only Anarchy. For this, we condemn you for Blasphemy. The Institutions of the Casinean Empire will do well without your malign influence
Outcome: Upheld (256-32)

Judgement 102

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Iniska Ashwood
Judgement - Vindication: Emperor Vesna, you asked me to inquisit you to judge and recognise your Prosperity, and I am honoured that you did. Your work in Ossium gave freed slaves the opportunities to become Prosperous citizens, and you have continued this on the grandest scale across and beyond the Empire. Your foresight into the only path to take to bring the Way to the world is inspiring, and as a Navarri, your willingness to make the hard choices resonates. There is only one thing I disagree with you on - you are loved by your Empire. To remind you of this, the Prosperity Assembly wish to Testimony you as "Beloved" with the strength of 7 priests.
Outcome: Upheld (171-30)

Judgement 108

Assembly: General
Raised By: Pete Tong
Judgement - Vindication: Juniper du Froste, Merchant of the Fangs, in your inquisition you showed me and my co-council of your virtue. Not only are you ambitious, wise, and Prosperous - your intentions and competency are clear - but your loyalty to the Empire's duty to the Rahvin and your commitment to them is commendable. Maybe one day more bourse seat holders may be like you, and we might live in a better world.
Outcome: Upheld (734-20)

Judgement 113

Assembly: General
Raised By: T i Dahr i Riqueza
Judgement - Vindication: Gisli (Judgement 84 Wisdom) is not guilty of Blasphemy because it is not yet a crime. We condemn people for the crimes we have written down - and in fact he was wise in his efforts to remove the effects of his experiments with the aura "to trust his own judgement." Gisli is wise, knows the law, knows magic, and makes very good business decisions. He is an asset to the Empire, and it would be wise to see the fault of his actions, which were not illegal as dedication itself is not blasphemy. Fintan Nighthaven's poison must be cleared from the Empire, but not by killing all those he poisoned.
Outcome: Not Upheld (266-924)
Notes: Scrutiny was extended on this judgement by Silas of the Cenotaph, the Cardinal of Wisdom

Judgement 137

Assembly: Courage
Raised By: Maarit Suvvidottir
Judgement - Vindication: I inquisited Clytemnestra of the House of the Wanderer (J29) and found her courage evident. She has a strong theology and practical virtue is important to her. She is fully aware of what she needs courage to face and what challenges are within her capabilities more easily. She faces things clearly and knows when to press forward and when to try new approaches and I feel she will continue to work on her soul, improve this empire and inspire others to act for a long time.
Outcome: Upheld (120-0)

Judgement 138

Assembly: Courage
Raised By: Maarit Suvvidottir
Judgement - Vindication: I inquisited Ida the River today at 15:00 about courage. She spoke well of her virtue and the challenges she faces in life, the ways she faces dangers and failures. Others of the hospital spoke well of her, Tiberius described her as his rock, the most steadfast mother and north star Kellen of Kingstoke attributed Ida's courage with her continuing at the hospital. Ambrove di Sarvos talked of Ida pushing them forwards to establish connections. Emileo di Sarvos talked of her not hesitating. Isolde said she gives others courage, not aiming to inspire just doing a ripple of virtue from her actions.
Outcome: Upheld (130-00)

Judgement 143

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Eirlys Ashes Blaze
Judgement - Penance: Harwyn Eternal described his loyalty and conviction in seeing Navarr best represented in military council. I think that this conviction is a testament to his loyalty to Navarr. However, his actions have not build up the people and team that forms the Navarr contingent of the military council. I call Harwyn to tell me in a years time of the actions that he takes from today to act with his virtue to aid this team and the goals of the military council team, in the interest of elevating his words with actions.
Outcome: Upheld (66-0)

Judgement 146

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Eevi of the Gadrai
Judgement - Penance: Following the inquisition of Dagon Barossa it was clear that whilst his intention was virtuous, his decision to give away the shield intended for the Champion of Loyalty lacked loyalty. It tore down his fellows and his words and deeds not united. I task Dagon to suffer the curse Bitter Mantle of the Leaden Crown next season. Even the strongest may err, the truly great learn from what scars them
Outcome: Upheld (208-0)

Judgement 148

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Brynmor Rootround
Judgement - Vindication: Neve, over the long dark, lost all her oaths in sacrifice to the Empire. SHE decided the price was of worth against the Duvanku. Without her, all of Sarangrave would have been plunged into the depths of a winter curse upon the lands. She took this great sacrifice in loyalty to the Dreadshields, to Navarr, and to the Empire, with Pride and great Courage. May she be Branded to honour her actions, knowing they will be remembered and respected, and testimony her with "Oathsworn Renewed"
Outcome: Upheld (142-0)

Judgement 149

Assembly: Courage
Raised By: Maarit Suvvidottir
Judgement - Vindication: I inquisited the Earl of Fools, along with several others. He was pleasant if nervous and demonstrated a clear growth of virtue and courage to acknowledge his actions. I wish him well in future endeavours and look forward to his benevolence in his virtue and in the future
Outcome: Upheld (84-0)

Recognition

Two judgements of recognition were presented to the assemblies during the Winter Solstice

Judgement 72

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riqueza
Judgement: To recognise Zemress i Ezamara i Erigo as a Paragon of Prosperity. Her Exemplardom is known. There is no question of Benevolence, Inspiration, Pilgrimage, Salvation and Legacy. There never has been. No voices have spoken out against her Liberation. No Past Life Visions to be seen, and no ashes yet found. For Miracles we need only look. Look to the past. The Kraken's Bane returning to post. She was thought lost in the bay with her captain. But there She came. Un-crewed. Bound for home. Look to the present. The Captain's Touch, a treasure trove of True Auras tied to Zemress. Hallows a-plenty, easy to find by simply asking an enthusiastic Zemress at Anvil. The Sumaah already recognise our captain. In times of uncertainty, let us look to stories we know are true; a Paragon that already teaches the Known World what a Prosperity looks like
Outcome: Not Upheld (223-30)

Judgement 83

Assembly: Courage
Raised By: Masha Sigeling
Judgement: We recognise Rahvin as an Exemplar of Courage and the first Ancestor Exemplar. Inspiration Fighting against the Druj, surrounded on all fronts, he inspired his people and thousands of others to fight to the bitter end, courageously standing for what they believed in, time and again. Benevolence Rahvin suffered greatly in the fight for the freedom of the Barrens, committing his life to bring about a better future for his people. Liberation Many individuals close to Rahvin report hearing his voice as an Ancestor, proof that, from his courageous actions he has crossed the Howling Abyss. Legacy Though the Rahvin (people) were thought destroyed by the Druj, they lived on, and fight now in his name to drive the Druj east into the sea. Salvation Rahvin was the driving force behind the uprising against the Druj in the Barrens, sending them to the howling abyss and ultimately leading to his followers working with the Empire.
Outcome: Not Upheld (238-10)

Judgement 10

Assembly: General
Raised By: Valentin Ivarovich Orzel
Judgement: The Inspirational Tomb of Ozren de Orzel has been chosen and will include an Academy of the Arts and Apartments for the High Bard of the Empire! At the formal consecration with True Liao the Culwich Witches of Weirwater have promised gifts and recognition to the Eighty-One (81) named musicians and poets chosen by the High Bard in early 386. Nearly half the funding for this Virtuous endeavour is secured. The True Liao is held in preparation. We are almost there! I request the General Assembly’s support in a Rewarding from the Virtue fund of 40 Thrones to complete the purchase of white granite to build the Bardic Academy of the Exemplar Ozren to support the ongoing work of the High Bards of the Empire and secure the Proud legacy of the 81 named performers celebrating Imperial Virtue and wonderous deeds!
Outcome: Not Upheld (470-662)

Judgement 12

Assembly: General
Raised By: Ioan Longshadow
Judgement: Since the death of Empress Britta, the Anvil Hospital has stood as a beacon of Quiet Courage and Virtue. It has not been sustained by the Empire’s coffers, but by the Prosperity of private citizens and the relentless goodwill of volunteers. These individuals face the brutal aftermath of battle, keep soldiers in the fight, and tend to those who support them on and off the battlefield. Their Courage is not loud - but it is unyielding. And it has been overlooked for far too long. I seek the aid of the General Assembly for this Virtuous cause and request a rewarding from the Virtue Fund of 10 thrones for the purchase of herbs, mana, liao, and other essential resources in support of the Hospital - and by extension, the Empire. Let us honour the Quiet Courage of those who give their time, effort, and resources to the Hospital. Courage does not only charge - it heals, it endures, and it refuses to break.
Outcome: Upheld, full amount (1242-106)

Judgement 26

Assembly: General
Raised By: Ser Lorell Copiste
Judgement: It is no secret that with Dawn’s deficiency in wealth, the nation struggles to build anything of use. So that this issue may be solved, Lord Morgann de Vere, ever prideful of his homeland, ambitiously seeks 8 wains of Weirwood from the Virtue Fund, to help in constructing a great work that benefits not only Weirwater, but the nation of Dawn entire. Let Lord Morgann be rewarded, and your prosperity shall greatly aid the Dawnish people.
Outcome: Not Upheld (300-808)

Judgement 52

Assembly: General
Raised By: Serrusto Caeli Rezia di Tassato
Judgement: I seek to reward VITTORE van TEMESCHWAR The sum of TWENTY-TWO THRONES From the virtue fund for having prosperously created multiple items of office and regalia for Imperial titles and to assist in his further works in this endeavour
Outcome: Not Upheld (382-628)

Judgement 55

Assembly: General
Raised By: Erasmo di Tassato
Judgement: We reward Bledri Eternal with fifteen thrones. Bledri has spent more than 40 thrones of his own funds on codifying two rituals. Stars Mantle has already been added to Imperial Lore. Revelations of the Past, which shares a vision of an item’s past beyond the ritualist’s coven, will be added to Imperial Lore shortly after being loaned to the Academy for a period. This kind of generous prosperity should be encouraged and rewarded.
Outcome: Not Upheld (400-582)

Judgement 99

Assembly: General
Raised By: Lia Adelaar
Judgement: The Kleists of Holberg have, through their ingenuity and tireless effort, succeeded in raising the walls of Holberg to be the greatest fortification in the known world. Funds for this great work (500T) come from the Kleists' efforts co-ordinating the prosperity of our citizens and from their own pockets. We ask for a rewarding of 8 white granite in recognition of their great Ambition and Prosperity, and to support future projects including the Imperatrix docks.
Outcome: Upheld, but none remain (408-380)

Judgement 103

Assembly: General
Raised By: Cyrus of Athaliah's Handiwork

It was consecrated with true liao in 385YE and has provided only a fraction of the benefit it might have. Now, when we need Berechiah's inspiration to fight foreign espionage rings is the perfect time to complete the work and create a new title to be appointed by the Vigilance Assembly
Outcome: Upheld, full amount (672-214)

Judgement 115

Assembly: General

Judgement: To bring the Way to the hermit kingdom of Tsark, we must talk to them.

Outcome: Not Upheld (144-146)

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
