387YE Summer Solstice Synod judgements
Overview
During the Summer Solstice 387YE, the Imperial Synod raised XX judgements.
Mandate
Ten mandates were presented to the assemblies during the Summer Solstice
Judgement 6
- Assembly: Highborn
- Raised By: Exarch Luke of the Navigators of Virtue
- Judgement: Loyalty is not displayed by words or deeds alone, but by the unity of both. We send Exarch Luke with 25 doses of liao to encourage Highborn armies to protect the innocent at every opportunity. Let no innocent suffer where a Highborn blade may stand between them and harm
- Outcome: Upheld (378-38)
- Enacted: All generals of Highborn armies can now take the Protect the Innocent order, as per the Banners and bells wind of fortune
Judgement 13
- Assembly: Highborn
- Raised By: Dagon of the Shattered Tower
- Judgement: The actions of the benefactors who met with Senna van Izjer of the Collectors do not represent the Council of Benefactors. We send Dagon of the Shattered Tower to urge all those trading with the Collectors to cease doing so and encourage their benefactors to seek the Wisdom of the Council before taking such offensive deals in the future.
- Outcome: Not Upheld (236-268)
- Not Enacted:
Judgement 18
- Assembly: League
- Raised By: Estella Lucati
- Judgement: We must sacrifice. We must pay. We must act. We must dare do all. We send Prince-Bishop Estella Lucati di Sarvos with 50 doses of liao to encourage the patrons of the Lorenzo's Legacies to support the Vallornguard. Nothing is beyond our reach.
- Outcome: Upheld (180-48)
- Enacted: Creates a bequest of ten thrones a season for the Vallornguard. Removes the level of investment provided by the Blood Red Quays Art Gallery, the Blood Red River Museum, and the Bloody Great Theatre. As per the Eight for a wish wind of fortune
Judgement 20
- Assembly: General
- Raised By: Bryn Tendfallen
- Judgement: Aim high; pursue your dreams. We send Bryn Tendfallen to urge every citizen to find common cause with those pilgrims of the Way with whom they share bonds of nation and virtue. Trust your heart and follow that which commands its devotion.
- Outcome: Upheld (1259-294)
- Enacted: The authority of the General Assembly has been weakened. The virtue and national assemblies (other than Urizen, Varushka, and Wintermark) can use a judgement to explicitly pick one thing that their particular brand of virtuous should care about. The judgement would still need to achieve a greater majority, but provided it did it would prove especially inspirational to the nation or those dedicated to the virtue. As per the The greatest plurality wind of fortune
Judgement 27
- Assembly: Highborn
- Raised By: Rhesa
- Judgement: We must all of us guard against the danger of the vallorn, and be prepared for its malice. We send Rhesa, Castellan of the Silent Sentinel, with 25 doses of liao to urge the people of Highguard to remember that there are few defences better than a stout stone wall.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (456-58)
- Enacted: The donations provided by Highborn citizens have increased from ten wains a season to twelve wains a season. In addition, if the Vallornguard are given the power to commission a citadel, the ability of the Benefactors Council to support a civilian commission will be expanded to include any citadel commissioned in a region adjacent to a region with the vallorn quality. As per the Eight for a wish wind of fortune
Judgement 61
- Assembly: Dawnish
- Raised By: The Fool of Glory
- Judgement: The Virtuous build up their fellows. We send the Fool of Glory with 25 doses of liao to urge artisans to support the Navarr's war against the vallorn. Loyalty is not displayed by words or deeds alone, but by the unity of both.
- Outcome: Upheld (1526-464)
- Enacted: Artisans of Dawn will go to work creating weapons and armour for the new Navarri army. Ten wains of mithril will go towards the cost of raising the new army. Dawn will not be able to begin work on a runeforge for the next four seasons. As per the A thousand steps wind of fortune
Judgement 90
- Assembly: Wintermark
- Raised By: Rafe
- Judgement: Cold cannot compromise. We send Rafe with 75 doses of liao to urge anyone who encounters an aura of malign or unknown providence to speak with the Crows. They will help you mend your skein.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (330-0)
- Enacted: The faithful of Wintermark will be alert to the dangers of false auras and will bring them to the attention of a Stormcrow so that they can be dealt with. This mandate won't stop the spread of false virtues by itself, but it will mean the nation enjoys the same protection against false virtues as other parts of the Empire. As per the Know your enemy wind of fortune
Judgement 119
- Assembly: Marcher
- Raised By: Tegwin Fallow
- Judgement: The Virtuous build up their fellows. We send Basil Goodbeard with 25 doses of liao to urge artisans to support the Navarr's war against the vallorn. Loyalty is not displayed by words or deeds alone, but by the unity of both.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (216-20)
- Enacted: Artisans of the Marches will go to work creating weapons and armour for the new Navarri army. Ten wains of mithril will go towards the cost of raising the new army. The Marches will not be able to begin work on a runeforge for the next four seasons. As per the A thousand steps wind of fortune
Judgement 175
- Assembly: Varushkan
- Raised By: Konstantin Rabovich Bolotnikov
- Judgement: The Virtuous build up their fellows. We send Konstantin Rabovich Bolotnikov with 25 doses of liao to urge artisans to support the Navarr's war against the vallorn. Loyalty is not displayed by words or deeds alone, but by the unity of both.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (216-20)
- Enacted: Artisans of Varushka will go to work creating weapons and armour for the new Navarri army. Ten wains of mithril will go towards the cost of raising the new army. Varushka will not be able to begin work on a runeforge for the next four seasons. As per the A thousand steps wind of fortune
Judgement 244
- Assembly: Imperial Orc
- Raised By: Bloodcrow Meep
- Judgement: The Virtuous build up their fellows. We send Skywise Gralka with 10 liao to encourage the Ethengraw to put the Black Forge to work raising a new Navarr army to fight the vallorn. Let us prepare our war together.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (72-0)
- Enacted: Imperial Orc armies will not be able to take the forge hammers order until the army is complete. Instead of providing vital support for the Imperial Orc armies, the Ethengraw will use their forges to help the Navarr raise the army in Hercynia. This will help them use their materials more effectively - substituting one wain of mithril for each 36 resources provided. As per the A thousand steps wind of fortune
Special Considerations
The following considerations should be borne in mind when bringing judgements before the Imperial Synod during the Summer Solstice.
| Assembly | Consideration | Link | Duration |
| All Assemblies | Statements that prioritise the greater good over personal loyalties are less effective. | Eyes of Loyalty | Ongoing |
| All Assemblies | Statements that try to compel Loyalty will fail. | Eyes of Loyalty | Ongoing |
| All Assemblies | Revocations and Excommunications for disloyalty to the nation or Empire risk causing dissent. | Eyes of Loyalty | Ongoing |
| All Assemblies | Any mandate that does not pass with a greater majority will have limited or no effect on Urizen or Varushka. It is not impossible that a mandate might lead to a response in one of the two nations, but it won't lead to any immediate consequences for the people of the nation. | Urizen Link Varushka Link | Ongoing |
| All Assemblies | Any mandate that does not pass with a greater majority will have limited or no effect on Wintermark unless enacted by the Wintermark Assembly. It is not impossible that a mandate might lead to a response in the nation, but it won't lead to any immediate consequences for the people of the nation. | The final cut | Ongoing |
| All Assemblies | Statements that stress the need to follow Imperial law rather than virtue will be unlikely to lead to a mandate. | Knocking on every door | Ongoing |
| League Assembly | No statement of principle raised by the League Assembly that calls on citizens to support a different cause will have an effect. | The war of thorns and flowers | Until Spring 388YE |
| Varushkan Assembly | No statement of principle raised by the Varushkan Assembly that calls on citizens to support a different cause will have an effect. | The war of thorns and flowers | Until Spring 388YE |
