In keeping with the precedent set by the 1708 Session, the Imperial and Emirati Bank of the Sathrati Islands and the Imperial & Emirati Bank of Alalehzamin and Constancia were nominated as guarantors of the peace that would prevail in Chryse during the Congress.

Zollinger Kirchner was hired to act as go-between and intermediary, negotiating fees and collecting nominated hostages for delivery to Tirlar where they would be placed under the protective custody of the guarantor banks for the duration of the congress.

Meritorious Subjects in the circuit of the General Government were once more permitted to travel between bailiwicks without prior permission of higher authority.

Purported witness accounts also say that he wandered into the street in his underwear from inside his lodging, in an attempt to board a cab that could take him to a Cake Bakes, a Ransenari chain of 24-hour "cocoa houses" known for their baked goods such as cakes, muffins, cupcakes, and other pastries. The chain is not present in Chryse, but the Steward allegedly was able to satiate his need for pastries from local bakeries.
    • Following an "editorial conference" at the residence of the city's High Commissioner, news of the misdemeanor remainded conspicuously absent from the Chryse Chronicle and the other lesser local papers. Pages and articles pertaining to Willihard Cason subsequently disappeared from the Benacian Data Network for forty-eight hours, on account of "routine indexing", before reappearing in an often truncated form of the original contents.
    • A number of individuals, suspected of propagating "harmful narratives", were subsequently spoken to by representatives of the Magister-Carnifex in the city, with no further actions being taken.
  3. The Congress voted to extend the duration of its session for a further full year twice, on 24.XV.1712 AN for 1713 AN and 24.XV.1713 AN for 1714 AN.
