The Changing Face of Glantrian Politics
by Andrew TheisenOne of the things that is most intriguing about Glantri is the political system introduced in Gazetteer 3. Not only does it provide a useful and easy means of calculating how easy (or difficult) it would be for legislation in that nation to pass, but the background provided in that module strongly indicates that the political alliances are always in flux, allowing for great role-play possibilities.
That being said, I've been planning on releasing this for some time (I was just awaiting the release of the 1016 almanac, so as not to spoil anything). Following is the first part of the (what I hope to be ongoing) attempt to depict the current state of affairs in Glantrian politics.
Thus, here are the House standings as of Kaldmont 28, 1015 AC:

Notes:
1 Pieter Vandehaar responded favourably to Princess
Dolores Hillsbury's attempts to win his support in the election for
Supreme Judge in 1016. He has continued to ally himself with the
House of Fenswick, in attempts to further his own ambitions.
2 Angus McGregor was confirmed in his titles upon the discovery of
the deaths of his father and grandfather, the former Prince
Brannart McGregor. (MA1016)
3 Griseo Fulvina abandoned the House of Kern in 1016 AC. His
ambitions towards an act of enfeoffment in the Caurenzan Valley
weren't being pursued actively enough by his allies. He has since
found a sympathetic ear in the House of Igorov. (Prince
Gorevitch-Woszlany has his own interests in the region.)
4 Antonio di Tarento has allied himself with the growing influence
of the House of Fenswick. Political opponents of Princess Hillsbury
claim that she has made use of his ties with the Guild of
Thugs.
5 Sinaria Verlien was discovered in 1016, following a long absence
from Glantri. Unfortunately, she had apparently been driven
completely mad, and was sent away to an asylum in Boldavia to
recover. Her son Pieter has officially been confirmed as Count of
High Sonden. (MA 1016)
6 Ralindi Virayana was elected successor to his father, the late
Jherek Virayana, by Parliament in 1016 AC. Jherek had confirmed no
heir prior to his death, and the succession was highly contested
between Ralindi and Lan-Syn Virayana, one of Jherek's wives. (MA
1016)
7 Juliana Vlaardoen was nominated to the position of Treasurer
following the vacation of the position by Dolores Hillsbury in 1016
AC. (MA 1016)
8 Dolores Hillsbury defeated Malachie du Marais in the election for
position of Supreme Judge of the Council in 1016 AC. (MA 1016)
