388YE Summer Solstice Synod judgements

Overview

Statement of Principle

Judgement 6

  • 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)

Judgement 7

  • 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)


Judgement 9

  • Assembly: Wintermark
  • Raised By: Aldwyn the Glorious
  • Judgement: We the Wintermark National Assembly recognise and embrace The Bear Pit as organised by Artorix, Pit Master Bear Keeper, as an expression of heroism and part of our national Pride. The Beat Pit givs the heroes of the mark an opportunity to display their skill and their courage and thus inspire others to find their own heroism. Therefore in loyalty we applaud The Bear Pit and support it as part of our nation. The storm cannot break us.
  • Outcome: Upheld Upheld with a Greater Majority (266-10)

Judgement 11

  • Assembly: Dawnish
  • Raised By: Claude Deeds
  • Judgement: The children of Montane fled to the forests while Jaromir Ostrovyn. Kostka and the soldiers of the Northern Eagle slaughtered their parents. It was not Courageous to turn an army of four thousand soldiers upon a few hundred Montanians who had gathered for a council. It was not glorious. This slaughter did not end the Montanian heresy: see how their orphan children now Hate the Empire more and crave Freedom more. Next time we encounter the scions of Montane, let us choose a more Courageous and more glorious path. We will answer the question of Montane with words, not swords. Dawn will spill no more Montanian blood.
  • Outcome: Upheld (354-40)

Mandate

Judgement 8

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Viviane
  • Judgement: A banner flies in Elos where the unstoppable tempest met the immovable mountain. Where the heirs of mariika the Cunning and Guntherm the Bold faced those of Rucraic the Audacious and Dubhtraig the Ruthless in a clash of Ambitions. We send Viviane Barossa with a dose of true liao to consecrate the site of that banner - to make in Elos a beacon of Ambition whose flame shall shine all across the waters of Catazar unto the very shores of Attar itself.
  • Outcome: Upheld (214-10)

Exaltation

Judgement 5

  • 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.

Recognition

Judgement 4

  • 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)

Castigation

Judgement 12

  • Assembly: Pride
  • Raised By: Jedediah Boon
  • Judgement: An Inquisitor must be held to the standard of a competent and Virtuous Inquisitor. Nothing Less. Brother Geoffrey Orchard; You have misused the powers bestowed on you, using Sanctions to advertise your books for personal gain. You have placed collective punishment on those outside your Inquisition without remorse. You have derogated Exemplars, beyond theological debate. You have offended each Tenet of Pride, demeaning others on your vengeful path and failing to strive for excellence. You have promoted the false virtue of Vengeance, choosing Inquisition targets by personal grudges and unrepentantly displaying human heads on pikes along the road of a Consecrated tomb. If you were not a titled Inquisitor, there could be room to rectify your lack of Pride. You are Heretical, a discredit to the Way, and deserving of harsher recourse than the limits Castigation.
  • Outcome: Upheld (188/28)

Writ of Consecration

Judgement 13

  • Assembly: Pride
  • Raised By: Jedediah Boon
  • Judgement: 60 years have passed since the Leaders of the Ore Hills Rebellion, Exemplars of Pride, gave their lives for Virtue. Their names resonate across Mournwold hills; Esme Hooper, Mary Digger, Ezekial "Zeke" Boon, Henry Killinghall, Maggie John, and Tom John. As the pickaxes ring out, driving their Legacy deeper into the stone, the Great Work commemorating them stands ever taller. 'Rebellion's Ridge' is dedicated to them, together, and their Virtuous lives. They have waited long enough. Just as the Assembly of Pride first Recognised their Exemplarhood, so too does it request a Writ of Consecration for this sacred site. Let it draw pilgrims to its sanctuary; let it remind a territory stricken by the Jotun bootheel time and time again:

Plan.Arm.Enchant.Resist.Exalt.Remember.

  • Outcome: Upheld Upheld with a Greater Majority (296/10)

Inquisition

Judgement 10

  • Assembly: Wisdom
  • Raised By: Elagabala, Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Path
  • Judgement: Night claims to home the Conscience of Kings but the Virtuous know that title is claimed by the Strategist and Worth of Wisdom. I Elagabala Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Path, call to Inquisition Brat of the Umbral Path to discuss his association with the previous Archmages of Night, his failures, their failures and Imperial failures. WE shall stand in the scouring light of day at high noon in the Umbral Path camp on the Saturday of this summit. We shall cut and cut an cut until the world bleeds truth.

I write this not in interrogation of Brat's Wisdom but to apply the Wisdom of this Empire to Night and its agents; to tear asunder their chests, and expose their hearts to the inexorable pain of being seen.

  • Outcome: Upheld (56/20)
