This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.
With true pride the Winterfolk have resolved to relinquish our claim on the territory of Skarskind.

We take this courageous step out of loyalty to the Empire, and in particular the citizens of the Imperial Orc nation.

It is our ambition that Skarskind should become the first home for the Imperial Orc nation, such that they may find Prosperity.

This may be vetoed by the Wintermark National Assembly in addition to the normal processes

Proposed by Sermersuaq, seconded by Skarsind.

Campaign Outcome

  • If the motion is retified, the territory of Skarsind would no longer be part of Wintermark.

Constitution

  • The Constitutional Court will recognise this motion only if voted "Aye" by all current Wintermark senators.
  • This motion requires ratification by The Throne, and has no legal basis until then.
  • This motion may be abrogated by the Senate at any time before it's ratification
  • This motion may be vetoed by the Assembly of the Nine, the General Assembly or - as specified - the Wintermark National Assembly.
    • As this is a constitutional matter, the motion would not count against the one veto allowed each summit; the Synod has until the start of the first senate session at the Summer Solstice to apply this veto.
  • If ratified, this will release the territory from the Empire, allowing it to be reassigned.
  • For history, the Civil Service notes that this motion was passed with unanimity of the Senate.
