Overview

During the Spring Equinox 388YE, the Synod raised 179 judgements

Change of Doctrine

Judgement 7

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Erasmo di Tassato
  • Judgement: It has been hundreds of years since the Doctrine of Seven was codified. The Virtuous apply what they have learned; Wisdom knows all knowledge is incomplete. The core of our faith, the Seven Virtues, remain strong - we add context to better reflect what we now know. We update the Doctrine of Seven
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (2039-358)
  • Notes: This judgement amends the Doctrine of Seven. The full implications of this change to the Doctrines of the Faith will be felt over the coming months.

The Doctrine of Seven

The Seven Virtues - Ambition, Courage, Loyalty, Pride, Prosperity, Vigilance, and Wisdom - offer guidance and spiritual strength to humans and orcs through our lives and deaths. Each inspires us to constructive action, bringing great benefit to those who follow them and enriching the world. False virtues and malign spiritual forces are detrimental: discouraging action, removing individual choice, bringing destruction, harming their followers, or those around them.

Veto

Judgement 119

  • Assembly: Urizen
  • Raised By: Catena
  • Judgement: This assembly votes to veto the relinquishment of Thornfen to Axos
  • Outcome: Not upheld (62-206)

Statement of Principle

Judgement 6

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Melkior of Balthazar's Vineyard
  • Judgement: The city state of Beoraidh may be small, but it represents a powerful opportunity for the spreading of The One True Way, the likes of which has ne'er before been seen. Our neighbours have marked off their land and opened their arms to a Basilica of the Way in the heart of their grand city. Amidst travellers and traders from all countries and walks of life, a shining beacon to our faith shall stand, built in the style of our Unshackled siblings and their fervent and beautiful expression of belief. We, the General Assembly of the Synod, note the opportunity that the construction of this Basilica offers, and urge the faithful of the Empire to all they can to assist in its completion and future operation
  • Outcome: Upheld (1635-204)
  • Notes: This judgement was elevated by Dagon Barossa, the Cardinal of Loyalty

Judgement 8

  • Assembly: Marcher
  • Raised By: Brother Luke
  • Judgement: The Marcher Assembly extends a hand to our brethren, offering an invitation to Hap the Soft and any Marcher Orcs who wish to attend the Symposium of Proscriptions. They have shown Pride in their beliefs. Their voices firm and loud. Our duty is to further uplift Marcher voices to a cacophony that the Empire cannot ignore. They shall be heard and we shall ensure it.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (192-0)
  • Notes: Hap the Soft is the owner of the Golden Hoof and a well-respected voice of the Marcher orcs. The symposium of proscriptions is due to take place at the Summer Solstice 388YE.

Judgement 9

  • Assembly: Wintermark
  • Raised By: Aldwyn the Glorious
  • Judgement: The battle in which Helgunn Chargebringer fell, Wintermark was left without a leader in a critical moment. Into that breach stepped Eisa Iron Lungs, whose clear voice and command saved many Winterfolk lives and halted a rout. Since then she has continued to lead her nation and Empire in battle with great Courage and Loyalty repeatedly serving as Field Marshal, and vaunted as a true leader by the egregores. As such, it is with great Pride that we enter Eisa Iron Lungs into the Chronicle of Heroes
  • Outcome: Upheld (226-0)
  • Notes: Adding a name to the Chronicle of Heroism requires a greater majority.

Judgement 10

  • Assembly: Highborn
  • Raised By: Sychar of Ebon's Hall
  • Judgement: Agramant has sent his servants to 'aid' Imperial citizens abandoned in Therunin. This must shame us. Highguard cannot tolerate a monster such as the Abominable One being seen as a rescuer while the Empire's own people suffer. Highguard has chapters, military units, congregations, physicks, priests, pilgrims, the Unconquered and more. We can send virtuous aid where aid is desperately needed. So let Highguard act! Let our citizens escort the refugees and support the healers of High Chalcis, while our chapters and military units aid the Navarri in escaping Therunin. The hungry, frightened, and desperate must find Imperial support. We will deny Agramant the worship of desperation. Only actions are virtuous. If we would calls ourselves guardians of the Empire's soul, then we must prove it where that soul is endangered.
  • Outcome: Upheld (216-0)
  • Notes: References the ongoing situation in Therunin, most recently the claim from Agramant that the eternal considers the territory to be "fair game".

Judgement 11

  • Assembly: Dawnish
  • Raised By: Alys de Renard
  • Judgement: To be glorious is to be Dawnish. It is an inevitability of our personnage, it is a pillar of our nation, yet a darkness gathers at our door. The Whisper Gallery seeks friendship from our nation. We must not work with them. Priests of Dawn, we must take arms against this threat, and encourage others to as well, for what eclipses glory more than what the Whisper Gallery venerates: secrecy.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (372-76)

Judgement 14

  • Assembly: Highborn
  • Raised By: Tabris, Son of Armisael
  • Judgement: When the vallorn of Therunin presented those standing against it with an abomination that carried a Miasma Pillar, 20 Soldiers of the Pilgrim's Defiance volunteered to face it down. All 20 of them returned to the Labyrinth to ensure its threat was ended. Their names should be recorded by the Archivists. Their Courage should be Exalted by the Pilgrims. And when the time is right, and the infestation of East Ashes is cleared, their remains should be recovered for the Stewards of the Dead, so their deeds can never be forgotten.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (530-0)
  • Notes: This judgement makes reference to the abomination that was encountered and defeated by Imperial forces during the siege of Mudlark's Haven.

Judgement 15

  • Assembly: Urizen
  • Raised By: Eurybia Mecampus
  • Judgement: The Urizen National Assembly approves the awarding of the Golden Cascade to Twyll of the Eternal Family. His boundless prosperity in defiance of the vallorn will be much needed in the future and his generous support in completing the Beneficiary of the Golden Cascade proves himself a virtuous friend and ally of Urizen. Citizens of Zenith - witness your donations in use.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (190-0)

Judgement 20

  • Assembly: Highborn
  • Raised By: Nicodemus of Balthazar's Vineyard
  • Judgement: The Way and the Empire are a not a monolith, but a mosaic construct of profound, and beautiful traditions, human and orc, united nonetheless by faith, Synod and Doctrine. The life and worship of the greatest monument must reflect and and celebrate this diversity in order to truly uplift every soul in the Empire. Therefore, we look to the Senate to ensure that the completed Grand Inspiration is governed by a college of residentiary Canons, one elected by each National Assembly, and led by a Dean chosen by the Assembly of Nine, who will together be charged with this sacred task. Let us show that the past, present, and future of the Way is here in th ten Proud nations of the Empire who stand together in Virtue.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (440-62)

Judgement 25

  • Assembly: Wisdom
  • Raised By: Mael of the Shattered Tower
  • Judgement: BEHOLD: VIRTUE! As the MARSHAL of the FAITH, I bid ye witness that the following were multiply commended by diverse FIELD MARSHALS and COMMANDERS for their WISDOM and BRAVERY in recent battles: EISA IRONLUNGS, SERAFINA SEMENOV, DAME KATELYN CORDRACO, NEVE AGRA, the runner SASHKO and the SENTINEL'S TOWER. The IMPERIAL AUXILIARIES are commended for tireless running with extremely limited numbers in unfamiliar terrain. The Marshal personally commends WILLIAM GUILDENSTERN for his AMBITION and for holding himself accountable. Virtue is found in what is learned from a defeat as well as what is gained from victory. A fuller list of commendations may be found on the Synod Notices.
  • Outcome: Upheld (222-0)

Judgement 27

  • Assembly: Ambition
  • Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
  • Judgement: Completing the Grand Inspiration of the Way is a lofty goal, but nothing is beyond the grasp of the Virtuous. The Hallowing of the Patron drives us to silence naysayers, and what better way than to complete this inspiration project within the year? It will draw the eyes of the world to us, establishing Bastion as the heart of the Way. From there, our faith will spread across the globe. This is our highest calling!
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (394-82)
  • Notes: Refers to the Grand Inspiration of the Way. Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 29

  • Assembly: Loyalty
  • Raised By: Dagon of the Shattered Tower
  • Judgement: Loyalty is the link from one heart to another, guiding us on the path of Virtue. Alberto Acciai - Exemplar of Loyalty - followed his heart. Inspired by his cousin, Alberto broke the chains of the downtrodden and struck against the Plenum, freeing slaves from their tyrant masters and breaking two Asavean armies. Through Loyalty, Alberto shared the gift of the Way with the people of Marilen, and inspired others to rise up in Virtue. Two years ago we committed to continuing the work of Alberto and Amika. Asavea will be transformed through Virtue, the truly Virtuous are Loyal even in times of hardship! We must stand by our commitment, and finish the war the Empire started. We will bring Virtue to Asavea, no matter the cost. We devote our hearts to this task. This is our Highest Calling.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (390-26)
  • Notes: Refers to efforts to efforts to anchor the Way in Asavea. Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 31

  • Assembly: Varushkan
  • Raised By: Katya Vasillova Reznikov
  • Judgement: Prosperity is not measured by wealth possessed but by putting it to worthy purpose. Mayra Zoronova Prochnost demonstrated this principle through labour, sacrifice, and stewardship. They gathered funds and resources for the Boyar's Hasta army, supported the preparation of Varushkan military units for the campaign concerning the face-peelers in Ossium and Karsk, before committing personal and donated resources towards the ritual Merciless Wrath of the Reaver. We declare Prosperity is realised when citizens place their wealth, labour and influence in service to others and the Empire. We celebrate and lift up Mayra as an example of a prosperous citizen and encourage others to do the same.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (200-30)

Judgement 41

  • Assembly: Wisdom
  • Raised By: Asthore Autumngale
  • Judgement: Wisdom teaches us to test and apply what we have learned, for it is always incomplete. Nowhere is this more true than in the actions of our enemies. What is not known cannot be fought without needless loss of Imperial lives. Questions rise anew with each strike against - or from - our wars against barbarian and vallorn alike. The Way cannot spread, cannot be known beyond our current borders, without the wars we fight; we cannot fight these wars, both current and future, without the knowledge to support our forces. The Ministry of Historical Research and the Empire's prognosticators tirelessly collate and unearth knowledge of our enemies, but their work is endlessly unfinished. Supporting the efforts and research of those institutions and the study of these foes embodies the teachings of Wisdom. This is our highest calling.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (296-74)
  • Notes: Further information on highest callings can be found in the The highest calling wind of fortune

Judgement 44

  • Assembly: Imperial Orc
  • Raised By: Bloodcrow Udoo
  • Judgement: "I am walking towards a bridge of renown across an Abyss that only cares for my legend." Bloodcrow Knott Ancestor of the Sunstorm Sept. Learn and share his tale and name. Know well his soul. Celebrate his life and deeds. For we do hear his voice. Bloodcrow Knott. An ancestor of the Sunstorm
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (44-10)
  • Notes: The words of Bloodcrow Knott have been added to the Annals of the Ancestors

Judgement 46

  • Assembly: General
  • Raised By: Elagabala
  • Judgement: Chastise the folly of Brannan, in Sarangrave or wherever it raises it's head. We call on priests of the Empire to support Imperial soldiers who have fought in the Sarangrave against subsuming their will and personalities to the intoxication of Summer magic's Knights of Glory, through liao and pastoral support. Virtue demands we ensure that their capacity for rational, virtuous choice and for choosing to accept orders are not impeded. We must ask the right questions: Why the Sarangrave? What would cause this to occur elsewhere? How can we best support the minds and spirits of our warriors, both today and tomorrow?
  • Outcome: Upheld (1152-140)
  • Notes: This judgement was elevated by Silas of the Cenotaph, the Cardinal of Wisdom

Judgement 47

  • Assembly: Highborn
  • Raised By: Doctor Lysimachus
  • Judgement: There at times is a perception amongst t'other nations that us highborn are a bunch of dour humourless types with sticks lodged in places things shouldn't be lodged (outside private consenting activity). The implication that we are such because we are a nation determined to be Virtuous in our actions implies a) a lack of understanding of the Way and b) that most folk who say this haven't actually spoken to most Highborn. Just because one is serious about virtue doesn't mean we lack humour, joy and all t'other stuff that makes a virtuous life enjoyable. So go out there me highborn siblings, let the nations see that while we work hard, we play hard, and that are capable of living, laughing, and loving life as anyone else.
  • Outcome: Upheld (356-32)

Judgement 49

  • Assembly: Marcher
  • Raised By: Larkin Otterways
  • Judgement: Marchers! Look to the loyal example of your generals. Look to the virtues in your pursuit of Stephen of Sarcombe. Despise treachery; the strongest may err, but deceivers will lie again.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (172-0)
  • Notes: The location of the yegarra Stephen of Sarcombe is currently unknown; he was last seen during the battle of Two Barrel Field during the Winter Solstice 387YE
