Proposed by Upwold, seconded by Sermersuaq.

Overview

Fortify the towns of the Empire.
Passed at 60 Thrones with 9 votes against, money distributed to Upwold

Date

Passed Spring 377YE (Event Two 2013).

Cost

600 wains of white granite

Progress

39 white granite to fortify regions in Miaren, Karov and Semmerholm.

Legal Ramifications

This motion does not follow constitutional protocol

Senate motions should only contain a single item. The motion was not struck down by magistrates at the time and the construction has now begun.

The civil service opinion is that this objective could have been achieved by creating an Imperial position with responsibility for constructing fortifications in the Empire. This position could have been granted the legal authority to order the fortification of a region and a stipend from the treasury to achieve this.

Campaign Outcome

Seren, Delev and Lacre have been partially fortified

Partial fortification does not confer a military advantage. It is sufficient to redress any banditry problems in those areas, but not sufficient to class as a separate fortification. It would require a total of 261 additional wains of white granite to complete the three fortifications.
