Glantrian Politics Revised (AC 1015-1016)
by Andrew Theisen
One 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 roleplay possibilities. Following is the attempt to depict the current state of affairs in Glantrian politics.
Standings of the Houses of Glantri as of Kaldmont 28, 1015 AC.
