388YE Spring Equinox interlude
Overview
Downtime following the Winter Solstice will soon be open. It allows players to process their character's downtime choices. Not all resources allow a player to make a choice about how they operate between events, but we've provided information about new opportunities for fleet and military unit owners in particular as well as a reminder about existing opportunities created at earlier events.
On this page, we've outlined and offered some context for various effects and events. As always, these include quick summaries, mostly out of character, to explain effects such as large-scale enchantments and curses.
In some cases, there may be further developments around the events listed here in the Winter Solstice winds of fortune. They may also be handled with a Resolution entry on the appropriate Wind, or a note in the Other Events section of next events Winds of Fortune page.
The deadline for Downtime submissions is midnight on Sunday the 3rd of May.
Choices
- During the Winter Solstice, there were a number of Senate motions, Conclave declarations, Synod judgements, and Military Council orders
Each summit the Senate raises and votes on motions, the Conclave debates declarations, the assemblies of the Synod discuss judgements, and the generals of the Military Council issue orders to their armies. You can find details of these many decisions here:
The Civil Service is responsible for ensuring that these motions, judgements, declarations, and orders are public knowledge. Not everything is widely distributed across the Empire, but any character who attends Anvil can easily find out details of what went on in the houses of power during the event.
Imperial Guerdon
The Imperial Guerdon is a bursary set up by the Imperial Senate primarily to reward military units that support Imperial armies, spy networks, and fortifications. The value of the Imperial Guerdon is divided between each military unit and fleet that supports an army in proportion to their effective strength. The Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies has the power to exclude any or all Imperial armies and navies, fortifications, or special projects (such as spy networks) from the Guerdon. If they do so, then a character who supports such an army, fortification, or special project will receive nothing for doing so.
The Guerdon remains at 500 Thrones.
This season, the Quartermaster General of the Imperial Armies has announced that shares of the Guerdon will be shared between military units supporting the following armies:
No other armies, or actions by military units or fleets, will receive shares of the Guerdon.
