Ascension Address
What are we, as human beings? We each have a mind for thinking and decision, a heart to feel and to love, and a body to move, to act, and to react.
From our first moments to the many years of a life, we practice and grow in all of these aspects. Our journey is toward becoming our fulfilled and truest self, but the harsh climate around us creates obstacles that we try desperately to overcome. These obstacles thwart us, and our aspects present short term solutions: fear, anger, distraction, deceit. Imbalances can occur if we depart from integrity.
Only when we open our hearts, quiet our minds, and ground ourselves in our being can we actually achieve the goals that we seek, and become who we are meant to be.
Repeal all dynastic rules. Change Priest to Bookman and Adventurer to Person (or People when plural). Set Imperial Deferentials, The Traitor, and Dynastic Distance to Inactive.

Commentary
- Post-dynastic discussion is at https://blognomic.com/archive/descension_deddress.
This was a promising theme, but having just documented the major proposals it's striking that the final big one before the dynasty slipped into Dormancy was the Emperor repealing two additions from other players (card and myself), replacing them with a more complex mechanic which players never entirely got their heads around, and which the Emperor themselves didn't ever try to use. The "Blegnemic" subgame was also repealed because only one person was playing it (and that person was neither its proposer nor the Emperor). --Kevan (talk) 09:47, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
