At the Winter Solstice, the Imperial Synod chose to grapple with a fundamental question - what is to be done with the Druj? "Death to the Druj" has become commonplace in the Empire in recent years, a toast at every table, a line to end every speech in the Senate. Having considered the words of Fintan Nighthaven, the Synod chose to issue a clear rebuke to those who have embraced such language. The judgement passed with a resounding majority despite the fact that they also came close to passing a mandate urging the Empire to embrace any tool necessary to defeat the Druj.
