At the recent summit, the Pride Assembly approved a judgement submitted by Ubarius of Tropiaon Citadel that urged priests to redouble their efforts to convert those who have been allowed to settle in the Empire without adopting the Way. The Virtues have united the Empire for the best part of four centuries, the one thing every citizens has in common. Empress Teleri took the Throne by claiming that the Way was the only thing that could hold the nations together, and without it it would be doomed to fall apart. The power of the Imperial Synod has waned a little since Teleri's time, but the Empire's commitment to the Way has never wavered. And so the Empire has remained as strong as its devotion to the Virtues.
