388YE Summer Solstice Synod judgements

Overview

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Ames the Amiable, of the Pilgrims Guard
Judgement: The Grand Inspiration of the Way is our highest calling, and still requires vast resources to complete. The Prosperous know that there are three things that should never be made: food that goes uneaten, coin that goes unspent, and magic that goes unused. We call in and local attendants of Anvil of any unexploited resources in their regions. Whether these take the form of untended forests, mines, herb gardens, or legends and local myths of glittering stone, strange golden woods, or odd craters, nothing is too small. Every lead should be followed. Let us use the full resources of our territories to complete our highest calling, and build prosperity for future virtuous projects.
Outcome: Upheld (638-0)

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Brother Luke
Judgement: Pride is not a solitary flame. It is a torch passed from hand to trembling hand until all may see its light. When we build up our fellows - when we safeguard their health, nourish their wellbeing, cherish their art, and celebrate their culture - we declare before the world that no soul is too small to be worthy, no life too humble to be raised. As such. WE will aid, support and uplift the persecuted, the enslaved, the broken, the downtrodden, the oppressed, the voiceless, and those who cannot yet speak for themselves. We will lift them from vanished silene into the gilded embrace of greatness. This is our Highest Calling.
Outcome: Upheld (214-10)

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Halwyn Splitroot
Judgement: Great artists whose work inspires virtue should be exalted. Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra has inspired pride across the Empire through her artwork, Faces of the Empire, which comprises a ccentral piece and ten accompanying portraits, each representing the culture of an Imperial nation. The central piece brings together all ten portraits, symbolising the unity, strength, and virtue of our diverse Empire. Constanza is a multidisciplinary artist whose inspiring work spans both the visual and performing arts. We exalt Constanza in recognition of her artistic achievements and her dedication to inspiring pride in others.
Outcome:Not upheld (194-80) this judgment required a greater majority.

Assembly: General
Raised By: Tribune on behalf of Amos
Judgement: I call for Barabbas to be recognised as an exemplar of Ambition, embodying the tenet that "it is better by far to try and fail, than never to have tried at all". His legacy lives on in Freeborn corsairs, in Caricomare and in Segura. His benevolence lives on in the ports and cities he built, the trade routes he founded, and the maps drawn from his explorers. His miraculous final address, and the aura of ambition it bears two centuries on, is an inspiration to mariners, explorers and adventurers to the cenotaph, and to all those who seek to do what "cannot be done". Barabbas is an exemplar for all those who dare to dream.
Outcome: Upheld (1056/118)
