Overview

During the Spring Equinox 387YE, the Imperial Synod raised XX judgements.

Change of Doctrine

Judgement 97

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Tom Keeper of Copperhill
  • Judgement: Remove the Doctrine of the Creator. "The Creator", we claim one but is this proven? Can you prove this if challenged as another Vardas, a work of fiction? "Seeks no control, dominion or communication". All attempts fail, some harmfully, but is not a refusal to speak potentially a form of control or dominion? Should the vigilant ignore claims of Axos, that the Creator is a threat.
  • Outcome: Not Upheld (120-952)

Veto

Statement of Principle

One hundred and one statements of principle were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 11

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

Judgement 16

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

Judgement 42

  • Assembly: Wintermark
  • Raised By: Lenore Hearthweaver
  • Judgement: Kaisa Denmother, thane of the Fellowship of the Broken Willows should have her name added to the Chronicle of Heroes. She earned her name, taking in many wanderers from all traditions, even nations, and gave them a home. Ambition thrives in the pursuit of the betterment of oneself, and Denmother selflessly extends that through the encouragement and betterment of others. When the Oathwright reported lies about Helgunn Chargebringer, Denmother wasted no time in seeking council from the Stormscrows. She acted with wisdom before taking ambitious action to call on the Wolves of the Pale Raven. Those cold words could not compromise her conviction. Denmother's perseverance through hardship is like no other. Despite losing multiple hallmates in one battle, her strength bore her through the pain of loss. As a thane and grminir, keeping a strong heart is just as important as any warrior's victory. She is a true hero and inspiration to all!
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (228-20)

Judgement 61

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

Judgement 78

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

Judgement 79

Revocation

Judgement 26

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Emmeline Weaver
  • Judgement: I have had it up to here with these fucking careless Generals: General Rhisiart Dancewalker of the Black Thorns is also culpable for our tragic losses in Therunin. As a commander with two years experience, he should have damn well read the scrying reports that are ON THE BOARD IN THE MILITARY COUNCIL TENT for fuck's sake, instead of listening to hearsay and rumour from Zoran Orzel about the strength and location of the Druj armies. I believe this colossal failure of Vigilance poses a continuing threat to our war readiness, and I call for his revocation, as I will for any Imperial General who can't walk six feet to do their bloody homework before they put their orders in.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1068-278)

Judgement 117

  • Assembly:
  • Raised By:

Inquisition

X inquistions were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 14

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Galachin Garlot
  • Judgement: I call Frater Pontius of the Emberclad to inquisition. During the Winter Summit of 387 - Frater Pontius provided clemency defenses to many of the Imperial Captains who had pledged their soldiers to the illegal orders General Archavion in the Barrens. It is my understanding that none of the clemency defenses were successful in sparing the lives of the accused. Since none of these virtue arguments appeared to be compelling and all were ultimately condemned to death. I thereby call Pontius of the Emberclad to inquisition to examine his reasoning and motivation in offering and delivering his defense of the guilty in this case. Inquisition to be held at 10PM Friday Night (location to be arranged with the named)
  • Outcome: Upheld (218-16)

Judgement 17

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
  • Judgement: Gancio, and by extension the Golden Chalice. The reviews are in - it is a hit. Audiences are enamoured by your lurid claims of alternate histories. It is time for the critics to see what virtue there is in the truths you claim to spread. The play begins at 7PM at the Peacock Theatre. The work begins after the interval.
  • Outcome: Upheld Automatically as Inquisitor of Wisdom

Judgement 19

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
  • Judgement: Raine Tealeaf. You know what you have done. You know where. You know when. A promise is a promise, is it not?

  • Outcome: Upheld Automatically as Inquisitor of Courage

Judgement 77

  • Assembly: Vigilance
  • Raised By: Frater Pontius of the Emberclad
  • Judgement: Vigilance does not wait for the blow to fall. It watches the hand that lifts the blade. The Archmage of Winter, Ematius Ankarian, has trafficked with the eternal Skathe, she who is the Doom of Sarvos, whose very nature is unalloyed malice. When one who bears such authority walks in shadowed company the unblinking eye of the basilisk must turn upon them. We therefore summon Archmage Ematius Ankarian, to Inquisition. We are given to understand that on the Saturday night of this summit, we will once more consort with that same foul eternal. Accordingly, the inquisition shall be held on the following day, Sunday at noon. The inquisition shall be convened at Ebon's Hall, in the Highborn encampment. It shall be presided over by Frater Pontius of the Emberclad, with the assistance of Earl Edmund Reaver, and the counsel of both the Inquisitor of this Assembly and the Arcane Inquisitor

  • Outcome: Upheld Automatically as Inquisitor of Ambition


Judgement 117

  • Outcome: Upheld (138-66)

Sanction

X sanctions were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 117

  • Assembly: Wisdom
  • Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
  • Judgement - Vindication: Dag Kinnad. You have served your assembly well. You have learned well the lessons from your inqusiting and wish to perform further investigations in to the Wisdom of your fellows. Good. Keep up the good work.
  • Outcome: Upheld (238-16)

Judgement 35

  • Assembly: Pride
  • Raised By: Olyvar of Esther's Sanctum
  • Judgement - Castigation: Following the inquisition raised at the Summer Solstice 386YE (205), I castigate Vasili of the Woven Path for knowingly undertaking a past life vision with a potential aura of Anarchy. This endangered both you and your guide priest, and drew Labyrinth spectres to you. Let this be a lesson - you have faced the consequences of your actions, you stepped off the road. Do better.
  • Outcome: Upheld (50-0)

Judgement 44

  • Assembly: Vigilance
  • Raised By: Brother Geoffrey Orchard
  • Judgement - Penance: Half the responsibility of the Shadowed Torchbearer is "to serve as a go-between for (Janon) and the Conclave as they need it.". The Regalia of the Torchbearer includes no means to send messages to Janon - though such boons are known to exist. Vanja Oddsbreaker was involved in negotiating the creation of this office before being elected to it - and so has put herself in the impossible position of being a go-between without the means to convey messages from Conclave to Janon unless Janon opts to send Heralds, which it often does not. For this lapse of Vigilance, I suggest this penance: that Vanja seek the means to amend the Regalia of the office, that it may include such boons as require to actually perform the role of go-between. Let her be the last Torchbearer to deal with this absurdity. For more details see the 2-page leaflet (copes on opposite wall) "Vanya Oddsbreaker Inquisition Report".
  • Outcome: Upheld (320-20)

Judgement 49

  • Assembly: Vigilance
  • Raised By: Alastair of Esther's Sanctum
  • Judgement - Castigation: Following the inquisition of Sam Wych-Elm at the Autumn Equinox 386YE, I formally rebuke them for encouraging the behaviour of Hugh Farrier that auras of Hatred were produced at this inquisition. Sam Wych refused to take this case of false virtue seriously because it was their friend involved, and encouraged and abetted their behaviour. Be aware to all dangers, within and without.
  • Outcome: Withdrawn

Judgement 82

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Earl of Fools
  • Judgement: The former spymaster Dugdale with great aplomb did stand before Empire and did accuse the Throne of crimes heinous; collaboration with traitor general in illegal massacre in Barrens then of darkest crimes did accuse the Throne a claim she was cultist of Agramant. His sources for her supposed crimes - the apostate general Archavion and Pickers Goldleaf, a self-proclaimed traitor. In truth these leave something to be desired before witness he swore foolish oath to assess his own thoughts and words and the truth and before Empire with as much aplomb and as much show as he did accuse proclaim his errors, untruths, and mistakes. His lack of wisdom in accusation. Go forth Dugdale, your audience awaits.
  • Outcome: Upheld (-)

Judgement 91

  • Assembly: Urizen
  • Raised By: Halkyon of the Myriad Stream
  • Judgement - Vindication: I find that Letho Southshore has behaved with admirable virtue in the reckoning between Urizen and the League. In doing so they have divided themselves in parts to satisfy the great demands of Loyalty, Wisdom, Ambition, and Vigilance. Things divided come together. I urge Letho to seek the Leitmotif in their symphony: spend each of the next four seasons dedicated to explore these virtues to find which will be your focus.
  • Outcome: Upheld (188-26)

Judgement 99

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
  • Judgement - Vindication: Following my inquisition of Giuseppe von Temeschwar, Senator Temeschwar, it is clear that they deliberately acted outside of the norm for Senate, driven by their pride and ambition. It was neither illegal nor unvirtuous. It was politics. I commend their pride and ambition.
  • Outcome: Upheld (782-30)

Judgement 106

  • Assembly: Pride
  • Raised By: Ludwig Marginiki
  • Judgement - Castigation: We the Pride Assembly, castigate our former Cardinal, Zadkiel, for his acceptance of the false virtue, Peace. Though he took immediate action to remove himself from the role of Cardinal. This should not have happened, nor have been considered.
  • Outcome: Upheld (170-48)

Judgement 113

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Heilyn Bronwen's Rest
  • Judgement - Vindication: Bartimaeus Zenith Ascendant has consistently acted to defend the Prosperity of the Empire. The situation in the Bourse is complex, and economic factors are pushing prices down. However, Bartimaeus is one of the major reasons why prices have not crashed to truly catastrophic levels
  • Outcome: Upheld (718-42)

Judgement 120

  • Assembly: Loyalty
  • Raised By: Galachin Garlot
  • Judgement - Vindication: Pontius, under inquisition you have fully demonstrated the virtues under which you undertook your onerous task, and we fully accept that event a grain of virtue is worthy of clemency from a virtuous priest of the Imperial Synod. We find no cause for complaint or criticism of your actions and that you are a virtuous priest.
  • Outcome: Upheld (138-12)

Judgement 125

  • Assembly: Varushkan
  • Raised By: Father Drakov
  • Judgement - Vindication: Our national warchest is a boon to Varushka and we thank and praise Sigismund Vladislav Kestovia for creating and managing it. He acts with Vigilance & Loyalty to ensure our national prosperity helps those who lack the resources for magical arms and armour but still fight for Mother Varushka. Let it be known by all Sigismund has received the Testimony of "Virtuous Schlacta" and the thanks of a grateful nation for all his hard work. He has made the hard choice to go without magical arms and armour so others may be so armed.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (306-0)

Judgement 132

  • Assembly: Varushkan
  • Raised By: Velko Perunovich Razoradze
  • Judgement - Penance: Upon inquisition of Svlatapolk, Oligu,a nd Veleslew of Kestov we, the inquisiting priests declare that they have done virtuous and unvirtuous things in their time under the Druj but we see a path forward in virtue for Ketsov's relationship to the freed people of Ossium and the Empire. We set the Kestov the penance to build their fellow Varushkans up and they will be built up in return, share all that is worthwhile and more may be shared with them. Water flows, the wheel turns, and we will build Ossium together, an Ossium where they will never need to turn to the Druj as their ancestors did
  • Outcome: Upheld (254-0)

Judgement 133

  • Assembly: Loyalty
  • Raised By: Kellin Embercast
  • Judgement - Penance: Percival Summerstrong has dedicated his life to the fight against the vallorn. He has a passion for this fight that is rare to find outside Navarr. I have made him aware of the reality that his zeal and charismatic leadership could drive others to swear an oath to the Vallorn Guard without understanding the full implications. Percival does know the value of an oath, and the weight it carries. To prove this, and to help him remember the line between personal glory and the oath he has asked others to swear, Iask him to wear the hallowed item 'A Promise Remebered' for a year when leading the Vallorn Guard
  • Outcome: Upheld (230-0)

Judgement 117

  • Assembly:
  • Raised By:
  • Judgement:
  • Outcome: Upheld (138-66)

Recognition

Judgement 4

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Dagon
  • Judgement: We recognise Alberto Acciai, Martyr of Marilen, as an Exemplar of Loyalty, with the following signs: Benevolence: Inspired by his cousin Amika, Alberto led a rebellion of slaves in the mines surrounding Marilen. Alberto was a vintner, and freed these slaves solely in pursuit of Virtue rather than riches. Inspiration: After the rebellion, Alberto led the liberated miners to the city of Marilen, where they took over the city and slew its rulers, resolving to destroy the two coming armies of the Plenum in Virtue. Salvation: In freeing these slaves, Albero was able to teach them and the people of Marilen the Way of Virtue and the use of liao, spreading our shared faith across the oppressed of the Archipelago. Legacy: Based on correspondence with Rafael Barossa d'Apulian, we know that Alberto could have fled. Instead, out of Loyalty to those he had freed, he gave his life to ignite Virtue across Asavea.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1302-178)

Judgement 5

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Edward Watcher
  • Judgement: We recognise Eleanor Novarion, the Lady of the Proffered Hand, as an Exemplar of Pride. Once a slave, she dedicated her life following her freedom and recovery to helping others who had suffered the same, demonstrating her Benevolence. Her work served as Inspiration to others, resulting in the creation of the Proffered Hand Network across the Empire. She was pivotal in securing the Salvation of the Free Folk of Asavea, reconciling their beliefs with the Way, an event marked by a miraculous aura of Pride. In her final months, she undertook Pilgrimage to Bastion, where she summarised her life with these words, a lesson to be shared across the Empire: "The greatest threat to Pride is shame. The greatest weapon against shame is Compassion."
  • Outcome: Upheld (1126-416)

Exaltation

Judgement 75

  • Assembly: Loyalty
  • Raised By: Veikko Bondforger

The actions of Aurum were "pivotal to turning the tide of the war in the Empire's favour." Without his Loyalty, many more would have suffered under the Druj and Zenith may not have been reclaimed. We recognise these deeds, and we exalt Aurum, "Loyalty's Zenith"

Rewarding

X rewardings were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 41

  • Assembly: Wintermark
  • Raised By: Trencher Smoulder in the Cold
  • Judgement: Let all citizens bear witness to the name of Kaisa Denmother, who exemplifies the Wintemrkar nature through both deed and vision. Kaisa has worked tirelessly to guide those lost to the blood on the snow, rekindling the indivisible spirit of three peoples and uniting them without compromise or faltering in principle. In her unwavering pursuit in demonstrating that the cold cannot compromise, she both voyaged far to aid the former slaves of Rachensgrab and came to the defence of the Rahvin in a time of great need and suffering, not for coin or reward, but through the strength of her virtue and her belief in the greatness others can achieve. Let the Capodomus Cathedral uplift her hero's name, as a beacon for all who strive. Kaisa Denmother inspires us to rise above what we are, her ambition to exalty artists throughout the empire and recognise them as heroes encourages those to dream not only for ourselves, but for a stronger Empire.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (210-10)

Judgement 54

  • Assembly: League
  • Raised By: Jonah Yakovitch von Holberg
  • Judgement: As a member of the Recognisers Sect, I ask for your support in recognising the ambition and deeds of Gabrieli Di Tassato. With ambition to lead the soldiers of the Empire to great victories, Gabrieli has proved themselves a true rival to the most successful League General of recent years, Gabriel Barossa. It is the nature of the League that all that we do is a competition, and with Gabrieli making a name for themselves across the Empire as the League Strategos, how much longer will people remember Gabriel before they start crediting his work as theirs? In challenging for the General of the Towerjacks at the last festival, Gabrielle made clear their ambition. They were only stopped by Gabriel securing his legacy and coming out of retirement. We call for the citizens of the League and specifically Tassato to recognise Gabriele di Tassato as the ambitious, rightful challenger to Gabriel's Legacy, to build up their reputation and appoint them as Grand Diktat at the Five Cities Military Academy!
  • Outcome: Upheld (140-138)

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Athiel Westernborn of the Cenotaph
  • Judgement: With the blessing of the Assembly of the Nine (Judgement 212, Autumn 386YE), I request 62 thrones to be disbursed to the Imperial treasury to offset income lost to Asavean piracy. Consequences are the price of Ambition. We are willing to pay the cost.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1035-268)

Judgement 117

  • Assembly: League
  • Raised By: Lia Adelaar
  • Judgement: Novella di Sarvos, coming recently to Anvil with her partner in ingenuity Dolce di Sarvos, has led the spiritual development of many a League citizen through liao dreams. She has demonstrated her loyalty and her understanding of reckoning, by paying forward to new citizens the help she received from the First Spark Carta to build that prosperous business. Furthermore, Novella has demonstrated her Ambition in supporting the Sand Fishers and used the rules of the game further than engagement.
  • Outcome: Upheld (138-66)
  • Note: The judgement was in competition with Judgement 54

Judgement 134

  • Assembly: Marcher
  • Raised By: Mel Bleak
  • Judgement: There are a whole fuckload o' folks in the Marches who've done great, inspirational things but I put myself forward f'r reward an' recognition right now. I spun the unspinnable wool o' the Mourn, and I grafted to see that miracle forged into the mask of the Mourn. I've won multiple commendations on the field o' battle, I've worked on the Military Council. When the Mourn sent me t'Anvil t' win us restitution, I saw the Singing Caves assigned t'us, and 'ave seen six years o' no fucking deadly curses on our land. I'm known across the nation and the Empire as a good 'un, an' right now, ask that my achievements be rewarded by an investment in the farms at my home in Bleak.
  • Outcome: Upheld (118-20)

Judgement 136

  • Assembly: Highborn
  • Raised By: Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower

He started the Grand Inspiration, he will see it through
