===Judgement 12===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Bartimaeus
* '''Judgement:''' The Sand Fishers have begun the slow recovery from the tortures inflicted on the Druj. The Prosperity assembly calls upon its priests, and all those who trade with these foreigners to set prosperous prices and trade fairly - to teach and demonstrate the first tenet of Prosperity. Strive, toil, and claim the just rewards of your labours.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (226 - 10)


===Judgement TBC===
===Judgement 14===
* '''Assembly:''' TBC
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' TBC
* '''Raised By:''' Alderai
__TOC__
* '''Judgement:''' Honour is a Jotun concept. Negotiating so-called honour duels with barbarians is not only treason (except where Ambassadorial privilege applies) it is also Idolatry.
* '''Judgement:''' TBC
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (334 - 1066)
* '''Outcome:''' TBC (TBC - TBC)


===Judgement 5===
===Judgement 18===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Assembly:''' Varushka National
* '''Raised By:''' Lord Edward Novarion, called Watcher
* '''Raised By:''' Nisha Strascovich
* '''Judgement:'''The Imperial Synod shall not uphold any new judgements of recognition, nor Changes of Doctrine, during the next year, or until agreement on the way forward for our shared faith can be reached between the Imperial Synod and the House of the People, whichever is sooner. This judgement put forward by the Symposiarch of the Symposium of Revelation: let discord be replaced with Virtuous debate so that we may together further the Way, and let this commitment be heard by both the people of the Empire and of Sumaah.
* '''Judgement:''' The Varushkan assembly recognises the virtues of the citizens of Varushka. Your COURAGE, VIGILANCE, and WISDOM in fighting the dark magics, wolves, and monsters. Your AMBITION and LOYALTY that enables the Empire to prosper as you hold back the MONSTROUS TIDE from your unsuspecting neighbours. RISE UP! And raise a toast to Varushka and the Empire!
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1149 - 300).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (160 - 0)
* '''Notes:''' Further details of the relevance of this judgement can be found [[If_the_wheel_is_fixed#An_Appropriate_Response|here]].
===Judgement 8===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Anastasiya Volkov
* '''Judgement:''' To be truly virtuous Loyalty must stem from personal conviction and neither be presumed nor coerced.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (355 - 0).


===Judgement 9===
===Judgement 19===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Eska Crowspeaker
* '''Raised By:''' Vindictus
* '''Judgement:''' The Synod would like to gratefully accept the offer of the humans who travel with the Great Forest orcs to assist in seeking out and helping the former slaves freed from Dubhtraig to find their way to their new home in Skarsind safely.
* '''Judgement:''' The Grey Pilgrimage rose to challenge the greatest spiritual threat to the Empire. It would be an affront to Pride, Loyalty, Courage, and Wisdom if these pilgrims were restrained or dissuaded in their dedication to spreading doctrine and combating heresy. It is a tragic shame that any theological debate brought about by the pilgrimage has provoked such a combative response from our siblings from other national assemblies. It is in these drastic times that Loyalty to each other and the Empire must overcome these small differences. We urge the General Assembly not to spurn or reject the grey pilgrims. These are Highborn citizens following their very nature. We are better than this.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1199 - 224). Closed early.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (960 -528)
* '''Notes:''' Further details of the relevance of this judgement can be found [[Lost_in_translation#The_Free_Option|here]].


===Judgement 11===
===Judgement 21===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Assembly:''' Dawn National
* '''Raised By:''' Jorma Steelhail
* '''Judgement:''' We are a Proud and Ambitious people. The Synod sought common ground with Sumaah last summit in the Ambition of working together to convert the world to the Way, to ending the savagery of ignorance of false Idols and Malign spiritual forces that prey upon us. The Sumaah have agreed to this course of action, but, we must resolve our differences. Pride is to be committed with words and actions, to despise the half-hearted, the uncommitted and the pretender. Ambition demands we aim high, and that consequences are the price of Ambition. We face those consequences with virtuous spirit unbowed by the first hurdle. We the General Assembly agree to the Sumaah's request of not changing Doctrine, or Recognising new Paragons and Exemplars until Way Summit at Autumn 383 or Spring 384 should these differences not be resolved. Let us grasp the opportunity and educate our cousins in the Sumaah and rise to greater heights.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1035- 221).

===Judgement 18===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Darien Numbers
* '''Raised By:''' Darien Numbers
* '''Judgement:''' Heilyn of Bronwen's Rest, the Imperial Warmage, should be added to the roll of benefactors. This is in recognition of his tireless and never-ending work in his position of Warmage. They are scrupulous in ensuring every ring spent gives the maximum impact for the Imperial war effort. They ensure all mages who assist are treated fairly and with prosperity in mind in every detail. They make certain that everyone who assists in gathering the materials required gives real value to the Imperial treasury, whilst also remaining prosperous. These qualities have created a strong network of trusted citizens he can call upon to drive bigger and better works of magic every season. As such it is only proper that he is correctly named and recognised by the Assembly of Prosperity.
* '''Judgement:''' When Empress Richilde stood for Queen of Dawn, none would take the field against her. No-one wanted their name or their house to be ranked as opposition, nor to question that she was a fit candidate. However, there were fourteen among them who understood that to win uncontested is less glorious than to best even the most meagre of challenges. Those fourteen knights were the first Black Knights, and by adopting anonymity as they stood against Richilde they sacrificed their personal glory, and one's life, to ensure that the tourney was held and that all others that took part had chance to demonstrate their worth and earn their legends. We will never know their identity, or that of any who continue the tradition. But we can acknowledge and applaud their sacrifices, and we can encourage others to put aside their own glory or histories if necessary; to ensure that hereafter no contest of any kind in Dawn is won without sufficiently glorious challenge. Long may the tradition of Black Knights continue, long may they provide us resplendent contests, long may we praise these anonymous examples of the spirit of Dawn.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (246- 0).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with Greater Majority (110 - 0)
* '''Notes:''' Heilyn of Bronwen's Rest has been added to the [[Roll of Benefactors]].


===Judgement 19===
===Judgement 26===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Kerem of the Chantry
* '''Judgement:''' The Grey Pilgrims were called to walk the trods and spread the way. We left our homes to face the greatest spiritual threat facing the Empire. Do not dilute our mission.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1094- 232).
===Judgement 25===
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Elkiah
* '''Raised By:''' Sister Tabitha
* '''Judgement:''' We believe the current use of Britta's Tomb is wasteful. We hold that this fine structure should be re-purposed as a "Tomb of the Lost Soldier", for those virtuous souls lost overseas and could not be given proper burial sites at home. We hold that this would be a proper tribute to these loyal souls, and the memory of Britta.
* '''Judgement:''' Reikos has finally been fully retaken, all Highborn territory is now in our hands again. Now is the time for rebuilding what was lost - we remember that wood burns but stone endures. This assembly calls for a great period of building - both to rebuild Reikos and to build a permanent legacy across all of Highguard. Architects, engineers, builders, benefactors, and labourers should come together to show the world the Pride and Prosperity of the Highborn.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (507- 24).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (501 - 0)
===Judgement 27===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Tarquinius
* '''Judgement:''' The Synod stands by its vindication of Tarquinius Ankarien and support his response to Sumaah. Response attached: in summary, the excommunication was unvirtuous and Sumaah should revisit its approach to using this tool.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (825- 80).
===Judgement 28===
* '''Assembly:''' Dawn National
* '''Raised By:''' Lady Eve Orzel
* '''Judgement:''' As the Dawn Guard, the Gates of Adamant stand, so do Dawn also stand in Prosperity and Pride. We wish that those who rose up these gates be remembered - House Devereux, House de Rondell, House Coeurdefer, and Wise Guise. We salute you.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld, with a Greater Majority (124- 0). Closed early.


===Judgement 29===
===Judgement 29===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Assembly:''' Dawn National
* '''Raised By:''' Ranae de Rondell
* '''Raised By:''' Mordred
* '''Judgement:''' ''Remember before all else the weight of virtue light as a single feather''. The purpose of the Way is to raise the Empire and its citizens high, so the purpose of a mandate should be to lift up, not to solely drag down. Should a mandate punish it should also offer penance.
* '''Judgement:''' Issuing the following poem: "Whose name should Troubadours resound? Across the waters and the land? The king beneath the stony ground of gold and gemstones, Adamant... Above the shining Semmerlak, an edifice of granite stands, unbreakable by foe's attack, the glorious work of Adamant. O king! Forgive our tardiness, in giving you your proper due, and let express we with this verse our gratitude and thanks to you."
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (871- 316).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (66 - 0)
===Judgement 30===
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' River
* '''Judgement:''' It is the Highborn way to be proud of those who demonstrate virtue in the Autumn of 382YE, a momentous event occurred amongst the Highborn. A relic of the Thundering Tide, the first Highborn army to make landfall in what is now Necropolis was recovered from the clutches of the eternal Llofir and returned to the Empire. The Highborn national assembly recognises the virtue of Joshua and Levi of Zephaniah's Lament: Sela and Azhrukhal of the Suns of Couros;: Lev of the Unbound: Lina of Felix's Watch: Cuth, Solomon, and Sariel of the Shattered Tower - in uncovering the location of the banner: recovering it from Llofir: obtaining true liao and replacing the aura of Hate that permeated it with one of Loyalty. We recognise that, through their actions, they have demonstrated Ambition, Courage, and Pride. We encourage citizens to seek out their story and understand what can be accomplished through dedicated virtuous action.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (509- 0).


===Judgement 31===
* '''Assembly:''' Navarr National
* '''Raised By:''' Aniera Exiles End
* '''Judgement:''' We, the Navarr national assembly embrace the diversity and faith of all nations under the banner of the Empire and find Pride in our differences, rejecting the Grey Pilgrims critique of national hearth magic and interpretation of the way. Instead we urge tolerance not persecution.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (138- 0).
===Judgement 32===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark National
* '''Raised By:''' Alfmund Forwinsson
* '''Judgement:''' Of late people have been talking of "honour" as if it is a synonym or substitute for the Heroism of Winterfolk. As if joining the Jotun in battle in broad daylight in a clean shield wall is the ONLY way of our people. Have we forgotten the Wisdom of the Kallavesi? The Cunning of the Suaq? We must be cautious of this embrace of "Honour" and look to celebrate ALL the attributes of our people not just the Steinr.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (200 - 0).
===Judgement 33===
===Judgement 33===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Maximillian
* '''Raised By:''' Jericho
* '''Judgement:''' The Synod asks Virtuous traders to recognise the great progress Axos has made in outlawing slavery this season. Now is the time for any merchant or fleet captain who had previously refrained from dealing with Axos slavers to reverse their position and announce by their words and deeds "This is a change we wish to see in the world". In particular we call upon traders among the Imperial Orcs to demonstrate their prosperity and to show Axos an alternative to the false expectations they have developed as a result of interacting with the Grendel and Druj.
* '''Judgement:''' Jericho of the Suns of Couros - I seek approval from the Imperial Synod for my pilgrimage to visit the burial places of the Empire and to talk to those who have lost dear friends and family in service to the Empire's war effort. I do this as custodian of the Imperial War Memorial and the holder of the Book of the Dead. I will do this as an old soldier and priest to support all nations in honouring our war dead and in service of the Empire.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (1675- 20). Closed early.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (1496 - 72)
===Judgement 34===
 
* '''Assembly:''' Navarr National
===Judgement 39===
* '''Raised By:''' Corey Wayfarer
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Judgement:''' Now is our time, a time of venom and blood, we have an opportunity to strike at the Vallorn. This will not be achieved without armies. To this end we ask the Navarr nation to focus its ambition and create a new army. This army will be formed with the intention of striking at the Vallorn.
* '''Raised By:''' Able
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (168- 0).
* '''Judgement:''' The rejection of the Grey Pilgrims by the Marcher assembly is an act of cowardice and disloyalty. The tenets of Courage tell us to despise cowardice that leads to inaction - as the Marchers have shown no attempt to learn and grow - and the tenets of Loyalty call upon us to build up our fellows.To help and aid them, the Highborn assembly calls upon the grey pilgrims, and all wayfarers of the faith, to look to the example of Permion - cowardice and corruption must be challenged when it is found no matter the opposition. We must help our Marcher cousins to find the Way once more. If their assembly is not up to the task, we will do it for them.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (253 - 246)
 
===Judgement 41===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Jared of the Suns of Couros
* '''Judgement:''' Pilgrims of Loyalty in the Empire hear the voice of your assembly! Know thy heart but always remember the examples of the Bolstering Bill and Cora Holdfast in helping those in need. The Empire has an influx of new citizens who are liberated former slaves. Help them find their place and their new start by offering what support you can give.  
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (360 - 0)


===Judgement 35===
===Judgement 42===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Farren Silver Streams
* '''Raised By:''' Cimeies of Felix's Watch
* '''Judgement:''' Liao ceremonies are a vital part of the Way. We must ensure our supplies of liao can reach every four corners of the Empire while not neglecting the needs of our local communities. Mendicant Cassocks, Wayfarer's Pyxes, and Guided Paths aid our priests in performing their duties while allowing our resources to spread further. Virtuous artisans are encouraged to craft these items while priests should get into the habit of purchasing cassocks for a fair price and seeing that they are put to frequent use.
* '''Judgement:''' To recognise someone as an Exemplar is to submit them to the Synod as someone to be spoken highly of, whose Virtuous deeds should be extolled, and to use them as inspiration for others. This is '''exaltation'''. To recognise someone as an Exemplar is to submit them to the Synod as someone who should be regarded with great respect, to revere and admire them, and someone who should be held in high regard. This is '''veneration'''. To worship, exalt, or venerate an inhuman spirit is '''idolatry'''. The recognition of inhuman Exemplars and the idea that they should be taught to human congregations as equal to human exemplars is '''idolatry'''.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (917 - 156).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (313 - 112)


===Judgement 37===
===Judgement 43===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Eurybia Melampusis Tassato
* '''Raised By:''' Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower
* '''Judgement:''' All citizens of the Empire are called to attend the Witches' Ball in the League on Saturday 6pm to display Loyalty to show the Grendel along our shores our desire to hold each other up in loyalty.
* '''Judgement:''' Our Empire has Wisdom spread to it from all kinds of priests, whose role it is to travel our Empire and spread The Way. Guides, Wayfarers, Bishops, Questors, Troubadours, Stormcrows; all have their own unique ways of spreading the Way, and are vigilant in their teachings and questionings. The Grey Pilgrims are a new addition to our travelling priests and should still take inspiration from them. To act to impede any of them in their responsibility would be to subvert Human Destiny.
* '''Outcome:''' Not Upheld (78 - 549)
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld; withdrawn (834 - 424) Withdrawn at request of raising priest


===Judgement 38===
===Judgement 44===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty Virtue
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Able
* '''Raised By:''' Asher
* '''Judgement:''' To be loyal we must know ourselves, we must seek to understand our hearts’ deepest devotion. To force your own devotion onto another is not Loyalty and prevents others from achieving virtue. To be a priest of Loyalty is to be a torch, a bright light illuminating the souls of the faithful so that they may see, and thus better know their own hearts. Learning what commands their devotion above all else. The assembly of Loyalty calls upon all those devoted to our principles to rededicate themselves to rise to the challenge set by the Sumaah house of Loyalty.
* '''Judgement:''' While only the virtuous can choose the loyalty of their own heart, the Loyalty Assembly applauds those people and organisations that seek to inspire Loyalty in others.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (255- 0). Closed early.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (196 - 0)


===Judgement 39===
===Judgement 46===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Harwyn Hollowatcher
* '''Raised By:''' Empress Lisabetta von Holberg
* '''Judgement:''' It has been recognised that the Vallorn is the greatest spiritual threat to the our virtuous destiny. Whilst the actions of Highguard and Dawn are to be commended we are falling short. We fight to free slaves and conquer new land but NOT to free the souls trapped in vile bondage under the Vallorn. We the Synod urge the Military Council to at with all alacrity in Liathaven and in defence of Brocéliande.
* '''Judgement:''' Pilgrimage takes us on a journey to the heart of our Imperial faith. I ask citizens of the Empire to consider whether they should undertake pilgrimage - in the understanding that this may take many forms whether of the body, mind, or spirit, unique to each person's path of virtue. I ask this, that we may, as an Enlightened Empire, find new insights to help us overcome our many challenges. As the Throne, I commit myself to undertake a pilgrimage of Wisdom.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (759- 160).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (6 - 0)
===Judgement 43===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Cimeies of Felix's Watch
* '''Judgement:''' Until such a point that the definition of an Exemplar can be properly defined in collaboration with the Summah Houses of Virtue, we move to refer to Orc Exemplars as virtuous orcs.
* '''Outcome:''' Not Upheld (389- 774).


===Judgement 48===
===Judgement 48===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride Virtue
* '''Assembly:''' Brass Coast National
* '''Raised By:''' Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra
* '''Raised By:''' Tiana i Zaydan i Riqueza
* '''Judgement:''' The Way is alive and well within the Empire - each nation's spiritual needs are already being tended to by competent priests who have cultivated a greater and more cultural sensitive understanding of their congregations than the transient Grey Pilgrims could hope to achieve. To preach in subversion of local leaders is to suggest that their spiritual counsel in the Way is amateur flies in the face of the principles of Pride. The Grey Pilgrims should reassess their methods and move forward as though with the affirmation of Pride, an anointing which teaches us not only to feel our own self-worth but to acknowledge the worth of others and to  treat them with respect. The virtues inspire others to greatness they do not demean them.
* '''Judgement:''' Supporting the freedom to choose your own virtuous path is what it means to be Freeborn. We will not tell you what to do with your fleets, but let your virtue guide you. Both trading and privateering can be prosperous as long as we remember the teachings of Zemress. After raiding, she gave a share to those who worked hard with her. She offered opportunity to all willing to work. She claimed a righteous bounty from the enemies of the Empire. She invested her personal wealth in projects, in her community. Whether you raid or trade be like Zemress.

===Judgement 49===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark National
* '''Assembly:''' Urizen National
* '''Raised By:''' Osfrid of Wyvern's Watch
* '''Raised By:''' Galene Netherwatch
* '''Judgement:''' We the national assembly of Wintermark applaud the idea of an inspirational tomb for Isenbrad in Runegrott. We encourage the people of Wintermark to make pilgrimage to the rune caves and be inspired by the story of Isenbrad. We encourage the scops to tell his story.
* '''Judgement:''' The assembly wishes to thank everyone involved, including the eternal Adamant, in the creation of the Three Watchers. We must not subsume our will to inhuman forces, but nor should we fear to act where cooperation with an eternal can support virtuous endeavours.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (246- 0).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (80 - 0)


===Judgement 50===
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Lilith of the Chantry
* '''Judgement:''' We, the Highborn national assembly state that the duty of every Highborn citizen to scrutinise ''our'' practice of the Way and ensure that all heterodoxy and heresy is expunged. If we are to lead the way then our virtue must shine as a guiding light.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (389- 10).
===Judgement 52===
===Judgement 52===
* '''Assembly:''' Dawn National
* '''Raised By:''' The Earl of Fools
* '''Judgement:''' Dawn does thank the Grey Pilgrims for their gift. In their words and deeds they show us the Highborn Way. In gratitude we offer this, our own gift. To as troubadours come to the Highborn. And so in word and deed show them Dawn's Way.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (164- 16).
===Judgement 53===
* '''Assembly:''' League National
* '''Raised By:''' Erasmo di Tassato
* '''Judgement:''' Those Imperial Bourse Seats situated within League territory should be returned to the League as National Bourse Seats.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (70- 66).
===Judgement 54===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark National
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark National
* '''Raised By:''' Usko Argonning
* '''Raised By:''' Jorma Steelhail
* '''Judgement:''' The stormcrows of Wintermark recognise that for Winterfolk, accepting the "choice" to become a Jotun thrall is not heroic. Those who become thralls are torn from our egregore and subsequently Frayed. We urge those fighting the thralls to spare their lives, so that they may come home.
* '''Judgement:''' We choose Raknar Ravenstorm, Eyes of the North, liberator of slaves, he that led the recovery of the Bloodcloak, Thane of Stormspire, as the Warden of the Great Raid upon Ikka's Tears. Heroes will march, names made, chains broken. For our people! For Saga! For Skein we march! We Raid!

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (164 - 10)
===Judgement 55===
 
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Amris Johan Merikovich
* '''Judgement:''' We commend the Imperial Senate for their swift and virtuous action in ordering the removal of the Idols of Asavea. It takes Courage and Wisdom to realise when mistakes have been made and Senate have shown themselves true to the Way in their actions.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1034- 176).

* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Assembly:''' Ambition Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Absalom
* '''Raised By:''' Ranae de Rondell
* '''Judgement:''' The Eternal Llofir, Ender of Empires, has invaded Reikos and is currently under enmity. It is unvirtuous to allow this enemy to remain unchallenged in the heart of the Empire We urge all Highborn military commanders to support any armies dedicated to liberating Tamarbode from this Eternal Menace.
* '''Judgement:''' ''The Road to virtue rises high/Hard to travel, yet we must try/We stand together that we might/Reach up into the very sky.'' We believe that all benefit from the support, challenge, and celebration of the Synod. A core mechanic for this is the call to inquisition. Respect this process.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (401- 86).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (80 - 0)
===Judgement 59===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark National
* '''Raised By:''' Rane Sherarding
* '''Judgement:''' Our traditions enrich our understanding of ourselves, our culture, and our Virtue. With Wisdom and Vigilance we look to the world around us, and by our own choices we take on lessons. That we may watch an enterprising bird toil and take from it a parable of Ambition speaks for the Ambition in ourselves, not the creature. So it is with the Krampus. A Hero chooses to take on a curse of the Krampus so they may be tested and learn through adversity. We make these choices with trust in ourselves, not at the whims of an inhuman entity. To subsume free will to the Krampus is idolatry. Any who wish guidance in seeking the tests should take a Stormcrow's advice. Through our Proud traditions of parables, symbols, tests, and mysteries we better comprehend ourselves and our path on the Way. To do so we must trust in our own cunning and Wisdom, and come together in Loyalty.

===Judgement 61===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark National
* '''Raised By:''' Saavi Aanasottir
* '''Judgement:''' Wintermark are a heroic people but Heroism is not found only on the battlefield. We should celebrate heroism in all its forms. Aethelric the Grounded showed heroism in his actions at the field hospital in Zenith, a sworn grimnir he helped save hundreds of lives at risk to his own. Eska Crowspeaker worked with others on the ratification of the Liberty Pact, changing the world in which we live. We should celebrate our heroes and their actions in all their forms.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (208 - 0). Closed early.
 
===Judgement 62===
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Brother Vashti
* '''Judgement:''' Is is the Highborn way to look to yesterday to inspire tomorrows virtue and in the Autumn of 382, a momentous event occurred among the Highborn. A relic of the Thundering Tide, the first Highborn army to make landfall in what is now Necropolis was recovered and placed under a true consecration to Loyalty dispelling the false aura upon it and proving to the whole Empire that while Highborn value history, we are not bound by it. The Way is ever changing and so must we be. The Highborn national assembly calls upon our generals, armies, and veterans to embrace this truth, to look back on our history - and study the lessons on Loyalty contained within and use them to inspire new ways for us to fight for our Way, our home, and our Empire.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (401 - 14). Closed early.

* '''Judgement:''' The troubadours of Dawn see no opportunities for glory or virtuous combat when fighting alongside cruel armies. The use of torture and cruelty to elicit the false virtues of fear, hatred, and vengeance in our enemies is contrary to Dawnish values. Specifically, we do not recognise cruel armies as a tool that the Empire should be using against our enemies. The enemy who is afraid to face us in glorious battle because of the use of torture and cruelty is not an enemy against whom we can find pride in victory or defeat.
* '''Judgement:''' The Prosperous do not hoard knowledge, and the Courageous speak their minds. The Whisper Gallery would have us skulk in secrecy. We encourage citizens to share their knowledge, feelings, and beliefs. Wisdom calls on us to test our thoughts, by sharing them with others. Weaken the Whisper Gallery.

* '''Judgement:''' Sobera Strogobor, courage bids us act, and you have acted. But fleeing the consequences of your act by denouncing Imperial Law speaks more fear than Courage. It is not automatically idolatrous to deal with eternals; the structures you list are not within cathedrals of the Way. But you may show your Courage by adapting your strategy. You will be glad to see the Senate act to refashion the truly idolatrous Asavean images of Oktístis. Bring your fervour to bear on this: a project which actively promotes and exalts the Way besides destroying idols. I commend your Courage; show it now. If you act in Virtue do not hide: plead Clemency. If we desire a Virtuous empire it is not enough to destroy and denounce; we must ''build it'' together.
* '''Judgement:''' The Assembly of Nine would like to inform the Synod that the delegates for our meeting with the Sumaah will be chosen from the following priests: Viviane de Coeurdefeur, Hywel Summercrow, Clarice Novarion, Astrid Fjellrevening Rezia di Tassato, and Severin Teyhard von Holberg.

Who woud've thought that it weren't the vallorn they were after but the priests and congregations of every other human nation in the Empire! We've held true to the Way and Virtue as long as we've had it, and the Paragon Kethry exemplifies sticking to your roots despite whatever sods make you question yourself. "Embrace your past, never be ashamed of it!" We the Marcher assembly believe the Highguard assembly coming over here and challenging our role in teaching the Way makes them PRETENDERS; that they were clearly false with their stated intent to fight the threat of the Vallorn. We encourage good Marcher folk to shun the pilgrims; offer them no bread, nor shelter, nor friendly ear until they stop sticking their noses in our business.
* '''Judgement:''' Lily Guildenstern is making the breadbasket available to all those wishing to celebrate Marcher traditions and beliefs at fayre or fete or upcoming wassail. Use this bounty to draw Marcher and Mournwold Orc from near and far, to bring our community together, so none is left a stranger, and all can benefit from closer ties between market town and households.

Get yourselves heard.

We send Lina with 25 liao to bring those who have lost everything to Reikos where they can be given succor until the Druj menace is no more.
* '''Judgement:''' A virtuous life leads the faithful to further righteous action but vile behaviour spreads just as easily if not checked. Blasphemy, idolatry, and heresy have been allowed to spread unchecked through the Empire for too long. We send Vashti of the Shattered Tower with 50 doses of liao to commit every citizen in Highguard to the struggle to eradicate the seeds of corruption from the Empire before they can flourish.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (560 - 14). '''''Enacted'''''.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1299- 72). '''''Enacted'''''. Among other things, the benefits provided by the covered market to businesses that diversified would be permanently reduced to two random herbs per diversification. Any future benefits that might be gained by the people of the Holberg as a result of the presence of the Sand Fishers could potentially be less beneficial to the League, and would certainly be more expensive to capitalise on.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1247- 140). '''''Enacted'''''. The Synod agrees that the practice of Dead Reckoning is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation would end.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (214 - 0). '''''Enacted'''''. Every congregation, farm, business, herb garden, forest, mine, mana site, and fleet in Holberg will suffer a one rank penalty to its production following the Summer Solstice. This penalty will last until the start of the Winter Solstice 383YE.

Every [[congregation]], [[farm]], [[business]], [[herb garden]], [[forest]], [[mine]], [[mana site]], and [[fleet]] owned by an Imperial Orc will suffer a one rank penalty to its production until the start of the Winter Solstice 383YE, as the Imperial Orc's loss becomes the Sand Fisher's gain.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (742 - 646; margin 96). '''''Enacted'''''. This mandate will inspire architects, masons, and builders to force their way into the buildings designed by the Asavean priest. The images of false gods will be carefully and meticulously removed and then repurposed in such a way as to provide a lasting symbol of opposition for the Asaveans and their faith.

For the next year the general of the Fire of the South can issue the Plunder order in addition to the normal orders they can issue. If they do use this order, or if the Red Wind Corsairs use their Daring Raid order, they are likely to see a small increase in the amount of resources they take and they will be significantly more likely to acquire mithril rather than either weirwood or white granite as part of the spoils they receive.

This coupled with his admitted cannibalism, and the vision of him being directed by a beast-like figure with horns and a rictus grin who revelled in the destruction, clearly shows that he was both a traitor and an idolator and that even having been killed, he richly deserves excommunication.

While the Synod must change and adapt to knowledge, and priests not be unduly punished for acting in virtue, the vote of the Synod was still overruled. The Synod must be vigilant in its approach to foreigners and Foreign Affairs. I send Franco to collect a story from each Imperial Ambassador, whatever tale they choose of Vigilance in their work so he may learn. These must be written, with a foreword of explanation and lessons learnt by Franco, and by the end of Spring 384 place as a book in the Library, or in my hand for appropriate distribution, or with the Inquisitor of Pride in my absence. The cooperation of the Ambassadors is Franco's responsibility I cannot and do not compel them. If the like of this happens again I would press for harsh judgements.

Over 70 captains, at great sacrifice and cost, commited their units to selfless bloody toil, and Prosperity demands that virtue be recognised and celebrated and held as example, and the Synod will distribute 35 Thrones as thanks and reward for this great deed.

* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Eska Crowspeaker
* '''Judgement:''' We request 20 Thrones from the virtue fund to be given to Bloodcrow Yargol who, acting on behalf of the Imperial Orcs, demonstrated their great loyalty to their fellow citizens with the prosperous donation of 5 wains of mithril which was used to liberate 100 Imperial Citizens and their descendants who were being held as slaves by the Thule. This is the second time they have made a similar donation and expected nothing in return.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (760 - 225); 20 Thrones provided by the Tribune.
 
===Judgement 15===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Benedict Pacelli von Holberg
* '''Judgement:''' The Ambition of Thomas and Eduard Dunlain was to create a team of runners from across the Empire to aid communication between nations travelling through the Sentinel Gate together. They believed this would save lives and improve our chances of victory. Though both have died in service to the Empire, the Synod awards twenty Thrones in recognition of their efforts and to support the creation of a sodality that will turn their Ambition into a lasting reality.

* '''Judgement:''' The loyalty of the Generals Barossa in creating and executing the strategy which prevented Morrow from being over-run by the Druj has been recognised by the Synod (Judgement 41 Winter 383) and the commission of a School of War has been proposed by Nares of Urizen in gratitude for their work. We wish to celebrate these virtuous acts by rewarding General Gabriel Barossa with 30 Thrones from the virtue fund on behalf of myself and General Natalia Barossa in order that one of the options presented by Nares may be built.
* '''Judgement:''' To reward Alcuin the sum of 5 Thrones to continue Livia Cascade's work with past life visions.

* '''Judgement:''' Further to the successful Judgement 7 last summit, a further 40 Thrones is sought by Chauntecleer to purchase the remaining materials reqired to construct a brokerage for the purposes of establishing a supply of liao to Surrani followers of the Way. We believe we should be seeing to ai them, reiforce their faith, and bring Salvation to others in the Confederacy. However, we are not blind to the political situation with our neighbours, and have already made a commitment to the Throne not to attempt to commission this work through the Senate without their approval. We would however suggest that were the brokerages to be built now, an the appointment of their overseer be via the Throne then their functioning could still await the Throne's discetion - but allow for their immediate utilisation without the elay from construction; should the situation with our neighbours change; for better or worse. Although not currently illegal to operate these facilities, we acknowleddge the spirit of te treaty and the inflammatory possibility of flaunting it. We counsel to be patient, but not to forget.
* '''Judgement:''' As Imperial Chaplain Consular, I request 5 Thrones from the virtue fund, to put toward funding the integration of the Sand Fishers into the Empire.

* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Chauntecleer Words
* '''Judgement:''' Chauntecleer Words requests 50 Thrones, in order to realise a proposal from Fenoren - Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Path. The proposal is that the funds be set aside to purchase mithril, to then be used in the construction of a sinecure for the collection of mana entitles Sevenfold Virtue's Reward. The means to control said sinecure would be via Declaration of Candidacy within the Conclave. The Sevenfold Path would further ensure that each summit at least one mage was provided the mana to make a declaration, with the content of their speech containing the reasoning as to why their use of magic has been virtuous. In this manner the Sevenfold Path would seek to ensure not only are virtuous mages rewarded for their efforts, but done so visibly to inspire others; and perhaps most importantly that henceforth Conclave will each summit have at least one debate guaranteed to be focused on the virtuous use of magic.

===Judgement 32===

===Judgement 66===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly

Their fleets are at half strength for two seasons hence keeping them from engaging in prosperous trade until Winter.

Summer Synod 383YE.jpg
A virtuous pilgrimage is a profound calling for many who follow the Way.

Overview

During the Summer Solstice 383YE Summit, the Imperial Synod raised 131 judgements.

Change of doctrine

No change of doctrine was proposed during the Summer Solstice summit.

Veto

The veto was not sought during the Summer Solstice 383YE.

Statement of principle

The following statements of principle were presented to the assemblies of the Imperial Synod. Thirty-five of these statements achieved a Greater Majority, meaning they will be distributed to appropriate assemblies.

Judgement 12

  • Assembly: Prosperity Virtue
  • Raised By: Bartimaeus
  • Judgement: The Sand Fishers have begun the slow recovery from the tortures inflicted on the Druj. The Prosperity assembly calls upon its priests, and all those who trade with these foreigners to set prosperous prices and trade fairly - to teach and demonstrate the first tenet of Prosperity. Strive, toil, and claim the just rewards of your labours.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (226 - 10)

Judgement 14

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Alderai
  • Judgement: Honour is a Jotun concept. Negotiating so-called honour duels with barbarians is not only treason (except where Ambassadorial privilege applies) it is also Idolatry.
  • Outcome: Not upheld (334 - 1066)

Judgement 18

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Nisha Strascovich
  • Judgement: The Varushkan assembly recognises the virtues of the citizens of Varushka. Your COURAGE, VIGILANCE, and WISDOM in fighting the dark magics, wolves, and monsters. Your AMBITION and LOYALTY that enables the Empire to prosper as you hold back the MONSTROUS TIDE from your unsuspecting neighbours. RISE UP! And raise a toast to Varushka and the Empire!
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (160 - 0)

Judgement 19

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Vindictus
  • Judgement: The Grey Pilgrimage rose to challenge the greatest spiritual threat to the Empire. It would be an affront to Pride, Loyalty, Courage, and Wisdom if these pilgrims were restrained or dissuaded in their dedication to spreading doctrine and combating heresy. It is a tragic shame that any theological debate brought about by the pilgrimage has provoked such a combative response from our siblings from other national assemblies. It is in these drastic times that Loyalty to each other and the Empire must overcome these small differences. We urge the General Assembly not to spurn or reject the grey pilgrims. These are Highborn citizens following their very nature. We are better than this.
  • Outcome: Upheld (960 -528)

Judgement 21

  • Assembly: Dawn National
  • Raised By: Darien Numbers
  • Judgement: When Empress Richilde stood for Queen of Dawn, none would take the field against her. No-one wanted their name or their house to be ranked as opposition, nor to question that she was a fit candidate. However, there were fourteen among them who understood that to win uncontested is less glorious than to best even the most meagre of challenges. Those fourteen knights were the first Black Knights, and by adopting anonymity as they stood against Richilde they sacrificed their personal glory, and one's life, to ensure that the tourney was held and that all others that took part had chance to demonstrate their worth and earn their legends. We will never know their identity, or that of any who continue the tradition. But we can acknowledge and applaud their sacrifices, and we can encourage others to put aside their own glory or histories if necessary; to ensure that hereafter no contest of any kind in Dawn is won without sufficiently glorious challenge. Long may the tradition of Black Knights continue, long may they provide us resplendent contests, long may we praise these anonymous examples of the spirit of Dawn.
  • Outcome: Upheld with Greater Majority (110 - 0)

Judgement 26

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Sister Tabitha
  • Judgement: Reikos has finally been fully retaken, all Highborn territory is now in our hands again. Now is the time for rebuilding what was lost - we remember that wood burns but stone endures. This assembly calls for a great period of building - both to rebuild Reikos and to build a permanent legacy across all of Highguard. Architects, engineers, builders, benefactors, and labourers should come together to show the world the Pride and Prosperity of the Highborn.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (501 - 0)

Judgement 29

  • Assembly: Dawn National
  • Raised By: Mordred
  • Judgement: Issuing the following poem: "Whose name should Troubadours resound? Across the waters and the land? The king beneath the stony ground of gold and gemstones, Adamant... Above the shining Semmerlak, an edifice of granite stands, unbreakable by foe's attack, the glorious work of Adamant. O king! Forgive our tardiness, in giving you your proper due, and let express we with this verse our gratitude and thanks to you."
  • Outcome: Upheld (66 - 0)

Judgement 33

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Jericho
  • Judgement: Jericho of the Suns of Couros - I seek approval from the Imperial Synod for my pilgrimage to visit the burial places of the Empire and to talk to those who have lost dear friends and family in service to the Empire's war effort. I do this as custodian of the Imperial War Memorial and the holder of the Book of the Dead. I will do this as an old soldier and priest to support all nations in honouring our war dead and in service of the Empire.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (1496 - 72)

Judgement 39

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Able
  • Judgement: The rejection of the Grey Pilgrims by the Marcher assembly is an act of cowardice and disloyalty. The tenets of Courage tell us to despise cowardice that leads to inaction - as the Marchers have shown no attempt to learn and grow - and the tenets of Loyalty call upon us to build up our fellows.To help and aid them, the Highborn assembly calls upon the grey pilgrims, and all wayfarers of the faith, to look to the example of Permion - cowardice and corruption must be challenged when it is found no matter the opposition. We must help our Marcher cousins to find the Way once more. If their assembly is not up to the task, we will do it for them.
  • Outcome: Upheld (253 - 246)

Judgement 41

  • Assembly: Loyalty Virtue
  • Raised By: Jared of the Suns of Couros
  • Judgement: Pilgrims of Loyalty in the Empire hear the voice of your assembly! Know thy heart but always remember the examples of the Bolstering Bill and Cora Holdfast in helping those in need. The Empire has an influx of new citizens who are liberated former slaves. Help them find their place and their new start by offering what support you can give.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (360 - 0)

Judgement 42

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Cimeies of Felix's Watch
  • Judgement: To recognise someone as an Exemplar is to submit them to the Synod as someone to be spoken highly of, whose Virtuous deeds should be extolled, and to use them as inspiration for others. This is exaltation. To recognise someone as an Exemplar is to submit them to the Synod as someone who should be regarded with great respect, to revere and admire them, and someone who should be held in high regard. This is veneration. To worship, exalt, or venerate an inhuman spirit is idolatry. The recognition of inhuman Exemplars and the idea that they should be taught to human congregations as equal to human exemplars is idolatry.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (313 - 112)

Judgement 43

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower
  • Judgement: Our Empire has Wisdom spread to it from all kinds of priests, whose role it is to travel our Empire and spread The Way. Guides, Wayfarers, Bishops, Questors, Troubadours, Stormcrows; all have their own unique ways of spreading the Way, and are vigilant in their teachings and questionings. The Grey Pilgrims are a new addition to our travelling priests and should still take inspiration from them. To act to impede any of them in their responsibility would be to subvert Human Destiny.
  • Outcome: Not upheld; withdrawn (834 - 424) Withdrawn at request of raising priest

Judgement 44

  • Assembly: Loyalty Virtue
  • Raised By: Asher
  • Judgement: While only the virtuous can choose the loyalty of their own heart, the Loyalty Assembly applauds those people and organisations that seek to inspire Loyalty in others.
  • Outcome: Upheld (196 - 0)

Judgement 46

  • Assembly: Nine
  • Raised By: Empress Lisabetta von Holberg
  • Judgement: Pilgrimage takes us on a journey to the heart of our Imperial faith. I ask citizens of the Empire to consider whether they should undertake pilgrimage - in the understanding that this may take many forms whether of the body, mind, or spirit, unique to each person's path of virtue. I ask this, that we may, as an Enlightened Empire, find new insights to help us overcome our many challenges. As the Throne, I commit myself to undertake a pilgrimage of Wisdom.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (6 - 0)

Judgement 48

  • Assembly: Brass Coast National
  • Raised By: Tiana i Zaydan i Riqueza
  • Judgement: Supporting the freedom to choose your own virtuous path is what it means to be Freeborn. We will not tell you what to do with your fleets, but let your virtue guide you. Both trading and privateering can be prosperous as long as we remember the teachings of Zemress. After raiding, she gave a share to those who worked hard with her. She offered opportunity to all willing to work. She claimed a righteous bounty from the enemies of the Empire. She invested her personal wealth in projects, in her community. Whether you raid or trade be like Zemress.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (170 - 0)

Judgement 49

  • Assembly: Urizen National
  • Raised By: Galene Netherwatch

  • Raised By: Jorma Steelhail
  • Judgement: We choose Raknar Ravenstorm, Eyes of the North, liberator of slaves, he that led the recovery of the Bloodcloak, Thane of Stormspire, as the Warden of the Great Raid upon Ikka's Tears.

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (164 - 10)

Judgement 57

  • Assembly: Ambition Virtue
  • Raised By: Ranae de Rondell
  • Judgement: The Road to virtue rises high/Hard to travel, yet we must try/We stand together that we might/Reach up into the very sky. We believe that all benefit from the support, challenge, and celebration of the Synod. A core mechanic for this is the call to inquisition. Respect this process.
  • Outcome: Upheld (80 - 0)

Judgement 63

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Medea Ruth Irremais
  • Judgement: The Prosperous do not hoard knowledge, and the Courageous speak their minds. The Whisper Gallery would have us skulk in secrecy. We encourage citizens to share their knowledge, feelings, and beliefs. Wisdom calls on us to test our thoughts, by sharing them with others. Weaken the Whisper Gallery.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1139 - 161)

Judgement 65

Judgement 67

  • Assembly: Navarr National
  • Raised By: Brat Umbral Path
  • Judgement: Due to the connection to the vallorn, Navarr briars should not be given the freedom to interfere with the war against our great enemy. As such, the nation should not vote for them to assume Imperial positions.
  • Outcome: Not Upheld by a Greater Majority (14 - 146)

Judgement 69

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Rylar
  • Judgement: The Synod encourages Imperial artisans to travel and teach free citizens of Otkodov their art, provided this secures the release of the Runesmiths the Thule hold as slaves.

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (158 - 8)

Judgement 72

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Lev Unbound
  • Judgement: Inquisition is good for the soul. People of Highguard should approach their priests and other priests to undergo an inquisition. Priests of Highguard should seek out citizens and submit them to an inquisition to illuminate the virtue of their actions and work.

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (436 - 10)

Judgement 76

  • Assembly: Navarr National
  • Raised By: Raelyn Holdfast
  • Judgement: We the Navarr assembly recognise that the briars among us are human, capable of Virtue, and citizens of the Empire. To prevent them from standing for or holding Imperial Positions based on their lineage instead of their actions runs directly counter to the teachings of Pride, Ambition, and the Doctrine of Human Destiny.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (150 - 8)

Judgement 77

  • Assembly: Wisdom Assembly
  • Raised By: Absalom
  • Judgement: Wisdom instructs us to act on the knowledge we have, to make the best choice with the information available. To ignore what we have discovered in order to support and maintain a notion of tradition is folly. Imperial positions should be appointed on virtue, not on unwritten traditions.
  • Outcome: Upheld (160 - 24)

Judgement 78

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Vasili Zoryakovich Zverokaz
  • Judgement: There are no virtuous arguments to be made for slavery. We the General Assembly encourage those who take Asavean coin to suppress slave revolts to consider their immortal spirits.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1361 - 32)

Judgement 79

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Elvar Vulfson
  • Judgement: We have Pride in our shared history and heritage between Suaq and Hylje. The Hylje have demonstrated their Loyalty and Courage as has been recognised. It is time for the people of Wintermark to match such Loyalty and display Vigilance and Prosperity though action. We encourage all Suaq to reach out to the Hylje where they can do safely and respectfully to reconnect via this shared heritage and offer aid to them where it is needed.

Judgement 85

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Nira of Cantiarch's Hold
  • Judgement: I am a priest of Courage. I am also an artisan. It is my Ambition to craft a Litany of the Labyrinth using ilium for each nation so that there will be an enduring way for each nation to protect the souls of its citizens and ensure their passage to the Labyrinth. It will be left to each nation to select the appropriate sect and oath. I call upon the Synod and Empire to look to their Prosperity to support this virtuous project through the donation of ilium and coin to Nira of Cantiarch's Hold for the crafting of lasting Litany of the Labyrinth reliquaries for each nation. Orc priests have been consulted and an appropriate item will be made for the Imperial Orc nation to ensure their souls achieve the passage intended by their people.
  • Outcome: Upheld (809 - 126)

Judgement 87

  • Assembly: Navarr National
  • Raised By: Berry Shatterhorn
  • Judgement: The people of Navarr should call out (and not display) any behaviour which discriminates against the Highguard, as this shows a lack of respect for their Prosperity and Loyalty in aiding the formation of Navarr's third army.
  • Outcome: Upheld (78 - 16)

Judgement 92

  • Assembly: Pride Virtue
  • Raised By: Josephine of Adina's Charge
  • Judgement: "Pride inspires others, it does not demean them." People all over the Empire judge and demean briars for what they are rather than what they do. This is a massive failing of Pride and we encourage everyone to challenge any who would demean briars based on their lineage alone.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (227 - 0)

Judgement 94

  • Assembly: Prosperity Virtue
  • Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riqueza

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (190 - 0)

Judgement 96

  • Assembly: Vigilance Virtue
  • Raised By: Gaelen Embercast
  • Judgement: Torr Splitroot, Hero of the Empire, fell after battling the Jotun, upon his death, the armour he wore became wrapped in a spontaneous, permanent aura of Vigilance. We believe this miracle to be one of the signs of paragonhood, but we would invite followers of the Way from Sumaah to discuss this with us.
  • Outcome: Upheld (198 - 0)

Judgement 97

  • Assembly: Vigilance Virtue
  • Raised By: Ser Ancel Watcher
  • Judgement: Vigilance teaches us to seek out the blight in our neighbour's field lest our own be blighted. Whittle is a festering plague that needs action. My assembly make it clear with these words, if the Marchers are unable to cure it, then my assembly will do so. Vigilance thwarts malice.
  • Outcome: Upheld (180 - 10)

Judgement 98

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Belakov, Wolf of Karsk
  • Judgement: We the Varushkan National Assembly welcome the priests of the Imperial Orcs to preach the Way and that of the life of opportunity of the legions, to the former subjugated tribes of orcs by the Druj, living in Ossium.

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Irina Vasilova Dukov

Judgement 100

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Goran Sokolov Zaytsev

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (170 - 0)

Judgement 106

  • Assembly: Marches National
  • Raised By: Sister Meredith
  • Judgement: Many years ago, the Marchers made the decision to join the Empire and follow Imperial doctrine. The victors of the Cousin's War lived with the seven virtues in their hearts. The Whittle folk must now decide whether they wish to stand with their fellow Marchers and reject Hate as a virtue, or choose to be declared heretics. The law must apply equally to all Marchers, but in respect of their past deeds against the Jotun, the Assembly wishes to give them that choice.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (106 - 0)

Judgement 108

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Severi Jarlmarison
  • Judgement: We the WIntermark assembly condemn the murderer of Alderei as there was no virtuous reason in killing them while they were in the hands of Imperial Law. We call upon their Pride and Courage to own their crime and come forward to face the consequences of their action.

Judgement 109

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Lady Laudine du'Lac
  • Judgement: We encourage the people of the Empire to welcome and aid the refugees from Asavea fleeing slavery. It recently came to light that these people share ancestry with our nation of Dawn. We should honour this blood tie with Empire citizens and introduce these refugees to the Way and to the Empire.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1362 - 0)

Judgement 110

  • Assembly: Marcher National
  • Raised By: Bethany
  • Judgement: We keep hearing tales of lost dolmen. The wise act on what they know. We call on the beaters, landskeepers, and others that travel, especially along mana-courses and along the borders, particularly of Bregasland, to keep an eye out and report any findings to Bethany or Elke of King's Stoke, so we can bring them back into service for the Prosperity of the nation.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (116 - 0)

Judgement 111

  • Assembly: Brass Coast National
  • Raised By: Iroh i Riqueza
  • Judgement: We find ourselves in a troubled time. Freeborn should look to the virtuous examples of the past to give them strength in this trying time; the sacrifice of the Burning Falcons and the Courageous actions of Zemress aginst numbers greater than their own as well as many others from our histories. We are and always have been brazen and free, we will never bow to any barbarian be they Jotun, Lasambrian, Grendel, or any other.

  • Outcome: Upheld (130 - 0)

Judgement 114

  • Assembly: Dawn National
  • Raised By: Pelleas Montrose

  • Outcome: Not Upheld (42 - 42)

Judgement 115

  • Assembly: Prosperity Virtue
  • Raised By: Onan of the Chantry
  • Judgement: The Bourse wields enormous power within the Empire. While many who use this system do so in virtue, many others engage in hoarding, and act to deny the Prosperity of others. If you believe a Bourse holder is engaged in hoarding and/or unprosperous activities you should report this to the Prosperity assembly for investigation. Failure to do so makes you complicit in their misdeeds!
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (182 - 24)

Judgement 116

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Shiloh of the Dauntless Light
  • Judgement: The attack on Sarvos and Holberg by Zephaniah's Lament is a tragedy. We Highborn feel very keenly the affront to the Pride of an entire nation. We will not rest until this debt is erased. What was great will be greater still.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (649 - 6)

Judgement 117

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Vauraus Korppitkotka
  • Judgement: The Ambition and Prosperity of Bron Maudssen led him to start his own hall, Hyrsthall, with a view of how they could share their Prosperity with Wintermark. Bron and Hyrsthall have provided all of the goods required to rebuild the Aviary of Ishal, demonstrating their Loyalty and Prosperity. We recognise their virtuous actions and hold them up as an example to Wintermark.
  • Outcome: Upheld (164 - 0)

Judgement 119

  • Assembly: Urizen National
  • Raised By: Alcuin
  • Judgement: Medea Ruth was not a universally liked individual - her uncompromising stance on the pursuit of virtue was not intended to win friends. Those who knew her should contemplate her path - both her moments of great Ambition, and where she struggled with finding the path of virture, and apply those lessons to their own life and aiding others along theirs.
  • Outcome: Upheld (44 - 8)

Judgement 122

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Preceptor Yevanshka
  • Judgement: We are appalled at the Highborn assembly's implication that exemplars are to be worshipped provided they are human. The Way is not one of heathen practice. We subsume our human will and our path of virtue to no-one - inspiration is not idolatry.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (132 - 0); Primacy

Judgement 123

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Doubravka Nadjaovna Vanek
  • Judgement: We know cruelty. We live with it. We the Varushkan national assembly will take the steps to help rehabilitate all those who wish it, who have suffered and cannot bear its effects.

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (114 - 0); Primacy

Judgement 127

  • Assembly: Marches National
  • Raised By: Anna Perrin
  • Judgement: Lily Guildenstern is making the breadbasket available to all those wishing to celebrate Marcher traditions and beliefs at fayre or fete or upcoming wassail. Use this bounty to draw Marcher and Mournwold Orc from near and far, to bring our community together, so none is left a stranger, and all can benefit from closer ties between market town and households.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (114 - 0); Primacy

Judgement 128

  • Assembly: Marches National
  • Raised By: Elspeth of Pickham
  • Judgement: Those who serve the Empire by providing food and drink for Prosperous rates are every bit as virtuous and valuable to the Empire as those who fight or shout. A full stomach is a sound foundation for virtue.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (110 - 0); Primacy

Mandate

The following mandates were passed during the Summer Solstice. Where there are competing mandates, the one that passes with the largest margin is successful and all other competing mandates are considered to have failed.

Judgement 4

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Ain of the Shattered Tower
  • Judgement: A virtuous life leads the faithful to further righteous action but vile behaviour spreads just as easily if not checked. Blasphemy, idolatry, and heresy have been allowed to spread unchecked through the Empire for too long. We send Vashti of the Shattered Tower with 50 doses of liao to commit every citizen in Highguard to the struggle to eradicate the seeds of corruption from the Empire before they can flourish.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (560 - 14). Enacted. The current reduction in attendance in Highborn congregations will cease; for the coming year statements of principle in the Highborn Assembly that do not directly address matters of orthodoxy and false beliefs in the Empire will be significantly less likely to result in a mandate.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 5

  • Assembly: Loyalty Virtue
  • Raised By: Anastasiya Volkov
  • Judgement: We urge pilgrims to know their heart and what commands its devotion above all else. We send Anastasiya Volkov with 75 doses of liao to warn pilgrims against those who seek to compel their loyalty and urge them to keep faith with those they are loyal to, whatever it takes.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (233- 18). Enacted. Has far-reaching implications for the Synod and the Loyalty assembly.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 6

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Kaspar Yakovitch von Holberg
  • Judgement: The Sand Fishers are entirely without Ambition, Courage or Pride. They lack the strength of character the virtues provide, they will never prosper without them. We send Kaspar Yakovitch von Holberg with 25 doses of liao to teach the Sand Fishers of Misericorde the Seven Virtues.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1299- 72). Enacted. Among other things, the benefits provided by the covered market to businesses that diversified would be permanently reduced to two random herbs per diversification. Any future benefits that might be gained by the people of the Holberg as a result of the presence of the Sand Fishers could potentially be less beneficial to the League, and would certainly be more expensive to capitalise on.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 7

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Ophelia Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato
  • Judgement: The essence of Dead Reckoning is an embodiment of prosperity, a system to ensure that people get the just rewards for their labours. We send Ophelia Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato with 50 doses of liao to encourage League citizens to remember that it is virtuous to despise the thieving bandit, the lazy wastrel, the grasping miser, and those who take without giving.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1247- 140). Enacted. The Synod agrees that the practice of Dead Reckoning is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation would end.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 9

  • Assembly: League National
  • Raised By: Lieselotte Van Holberg
  • Judgement: The Sand Fishers are broken, they survived under the Druj, but now they are foreigners living in the Empire. It is our duty to show them that they can be more. We send Leonora Van Holberg with 50 doses of liao to urge every Citizen of Holberg to do what they can to support them.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (214 - 0). Enacted. Every congregation, farm, business, herb garden, forest, mine, mana site, and fleet in Holberg will suffer a one rank penalty to its production following the Summer Solstice. This penalty will last until the start of the Winter Solstice 383YE. The Sand Fishers would gain significantly from this mandate - the support of their immediate neighbours in Holberg would further cement good relations between the new inhabitants of Misericorde and the people of the city.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 11

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Rafe
  • Judgement: The Wintermark National Assembly applaud the cunning and guile of every brave Wintermark hero taking part in the raid on Ikka's Tears. Let all look to those who partake of the raid as exemplars of heroism. We send Rafe with 50 doses of liao to support the scops and the stormcrows in lauding the boldness of those involved
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (274 - 10). Enacted. Every Wintermark military unit that takes part in the expedition to Pride of Ikka's Tears will receive a boost in courage and morale equivalent to two additional ranks for the next two seasons.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here.

Judgement 13

  • Assembly: Imperial Orc National
  • Raised By: Skywise Gralka
  • Judgement: The Sand Fishers are broken, they embrace oblivion in the Howling Abyss. It is our duty to show them that they can be more. We send Skywise Rykana with 50 doses of liao to urge every Imperial Orc to support them with the fruits of our prosperous endeavour and, upon delivery, detail its value in Worth that shall carry us beyond the Abyss.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (121 - 0, closed early). Enacted. Every congregation, farm, business, herb garden, forest, mine, mana site, and fleet owned by an Imperial Orc will suffer a one rank penalty to its production until the start of the Winter Solstice 383YE, as the Imperial Orc's loss becomes the Sand Fisher's gain.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here.

Judgement 27

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Maximillian
  • Judgement: The Axou have turned their back on slavery. The General Assembly urges every Imperial citizen to support the change we wish to see in the world by looking for new trading possibilities with the Axos. We send Tarquinius Ankarien with (amount) doses of liao to urge Imperial citizens to engage with the Axou traders and look for new opportunities to enrich us both by enhancing trade between us.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1333 - 10). Enacted. Inspires people in every nation in the Empire leading to at least three opportunities to create new wealth through improved trade next season.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 28

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Meredith Nighthaven
  • Judgement: The essence of the Great Dance is the belief that each person must find the time and the place where they can become their most virtuous self. It is a practical way to help people become more virtuous and we send Madog Exiles-End with 50 doses of liao to confirm to Navarr citizens that there is nothing in the Great Dance that is incompatible with the Way.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1278 - 97). Enacted. The Synod agrees that the philosophy of the Great Dance is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation would end.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 30

  • Assembly: Dawn National
  • Raised By: Mael Donjeon of House Remys
  • Judgement: The Highborn have come to Dawn to show us the Highborn Way in their words and deeds. We should rise to the challenge and send our best troubadours to teach them about Dawn. We send Mael Donjeon of House Remys with 50 doses of liao to urge every troubadour to travel to Highguard and teach them about glory and love.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (100 - 0). Enacted. Dawnish priests will travel through Highguard singing tales of adventure, of romance, of love and glory. This presents some significant potential for making the current situation worse.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 34

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Atushah i Fijadoz i Erigo
  • Judgement: The doctrine of the Way is not diminished by the parody of the Broken Wheel, precisely because it is a parody. What matters to the faithful is the beliefs people hold in the heart, not the practical jokes they play on their friends. We send Atushah i Fijadoz i Erigo with 50 doses of liao to reassure the Freeborn that there is no need for concern about the feast
  • Outcome: Not Upheld - Withdrawn (604 - 102). Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 47

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Brother Hugh
  • Judgement: Neither the practice of shriving nor the belief that humans can be reborn in the bodies of trees or animals are directly contradicted by any part of the Doctrines of the Faith. We send Brother Hugh with 50 doses of liao to reassure Marcher citizens that their traditional customs and beliefs are an acceptable expression of the Way.
  • Outcome: Upheld (741 - 477). Enacted. The Synod agrees that the practice of shriving, and the belief that the soul can reincarnate as trees or animals is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation will end.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 50

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra
  • Judgement: The doctrine of the Way is not diminished by the parody of the Broken Wheel, precisely because it is a parody.

Every captain on the Coast will redouble their efforts to show that privateering is not just daring and dangerous but bloody hard work!

  • Outcome: Upheld (674 - 22)

Judgement 35

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Rafael Barossa di Tassato
  • Judgement: Sanction:Vindication. The Auditor of Senatorial Accountability vindicates Guiseppe Sanguineo von Temeschwar. He acted to correct the previous failings of Senate and Synod and did so effectively and well. His pride in his actions is obvious and well-deserved. His ambition to defeat the treacherous Druj guides his decision-making and I find his actions regarding the idols of Almodin Oktístis to have been entirely virtuous and worthy of commendation.
  • Outcome: Upheld (620 - 10)

Judgement 54

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Genoveva Barossa, Inquisitor of Pride
  • Judgement: Excommunication. Following on from the inquisition of Alderai at Winter 382, letters were found in his possession which demonstrate he was working with Wendigo. That he destroyed the Winterfolk/Jotun meeting place at Wendigo's behest, to damage relations with the Jotun and additionally that he was recruited by Wendigo to kill everyone at Oakwood Monastery, a sacred place of the Marchers, and to "defile" it. This coupled with his admitted cannibalism, and the vision of him being directed by a beast-like figure with horns and a rictus grin who revelled in the destruction, clearly shows that he was both a traitor and an idolator and that even having been killed, he richly deserves excommunication.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (1578 - 80)

Judgement 55

  • Assembly: Ambition Virtue
  • Raised By: Ranae de Rondell
  • Judgement: Sanction: Vindication. (Escalation).

In failing to alert the Synod to their concerns, in assuming it was acceptable to employ idolators "If the Synod hasn't told the Senate not to" and in the assumption that employing the idolator "wouldn't matter so long as he wasn't building places of spiritual significance" I find Qusay i Kalamar i Guerrato be complicit by negligence to the actions of Almodin Oktístis and escalate to castigation.
  • Outcome: Upheld (675 - 24)

The proposal is that the funds be set aside to purchase mithril, to then be used in the construction of a sinecure for the collection of mana entitles Sevenfold Virtue's Reward. The means to control said sinecure would be via Declaration of Candidacy within the Conclave. The Sevenfold Path would further ensure that each summit at least one mage was provided the mana to make a declaration, with the content of their speech containing the reasoning as to why their use of magic has been virtuous. In this manner the Sevenfold Path would seek to ensure not only are virtuous mages rewarded for their efforts, but done so visibly to inspire others; and perhaps most importantly that henceforth Conclave will each summit have at least one debate guaranteed to be focused on the virtuous use of magic.
  • Outcome: Upheld (512 - 405); 4 Thrones, 6 Crowns, 15 rings provided by the Tribune.

Judgement 32

  • Assembly: General Assembly

Judgement 66

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Violante i Abasdo i Riqueza
  • Judgement: Traders are now free to trade from the Bay without the penalties caused by the risk of Grendel piracy, because the fleet captains who dominated Catazar Bay have thrown the Grendel from our border for seasons to come. In their Loyalty to the Empire they set aside opportunities that would have increased their personal wealth, and set about damaging the Grendel shops instead. Their fleets are at half strength for two seasons hence keeping them from engaging in prosperous trade until Winter.
