384YE Spring Equinox Synod judgements

Overview

During the Spring Equinox 384YE Summit, the Imperial Synod raised (TBC) judgements.

Considerations

The following considerations should be borne in mind when bringing judgements before the Imperial Synod during the Spring Equinox.

• All Assemblies: Statements that prioritise the greater good over personal loyalties are less effective. Lasts until the end of the Summer Solstice 384YE. Link.
• All Assemblies: Statements that try to compel Loyalty will fail. Lasts until the end of the Summer Solstice 384YE. Link.
• All Assemblies: Revocations and Excommunications for disloyalty to the nation or Empire would risk causing dissent Lasts until the end of the Summer Solstice 384YE. Link.
• All Assemblies: Any mandate that does not pass with a greater majority will have limited or no effect on Urizen. It is not impossible that a mandate might lead to a response in Urizen, but it won't lead to any immediate consequences for the people of the nation. This lasts until some new turn of events changes things. Link.
• All Assemblies: No statement of principle that is about Sulemaine i Taziel will lead to a mandate. Lasts until at least the end of the Winter Solstice 384YE and potentially longer. Link.
• Virtue Assemblies: Any statement of principle in any virtue assembly will not create a mandate for that virtue assembly. If any mandate does arise, then it will need to be passed by the General Assembly. Lasts until the end of the Winter Solstice 384YE. Link.
• Highguard Assembly: 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. Lasts until the end of the Summer Solstice 384YE. Link.
• Highguard and Dawn Assemblies: Statements of principle in either assembly that receive a greater majority may create opportunities in the other assembly. Lasts until the end of the Autumn Equinox 384YE Link.
