====Emidio Gallis, Duke of Fovoham==== | ====Emidio Gallis, Duke of Fovoham==== | ||
<div style="float: left;">http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq194/afroakuma/Gallis.png</div> The youngest Duke of Ivalice and a fiery political upstart, Gallis entered the realm of politics carrying baggage from the actions of his warmongering father. He was instrumental in strengthening the Knightly Orders during the second Archadian War and has moved to increase the military power of the kingdom ever since, regaining political favor by single-handedly forming the '''Federalist''' bloc. Incredibly cunning, but also manipulative, opportunistic and vicious, Gallis is obsessed with wealth and control. He also desires to disperse the power of the monarchy, and has made overtures to the Patricians. Gallis runs the highest single provincial tax in Ivalice, and is said to own at least 1/3rd of the legal seagoing vessels in the kingdom (though rumors place the number at closer to 1/2 of ''all'' seagoing vessels in the kingdom). The Duke is no crime lord, however; he is a fierce advocate of a particularly harsh and unforgiving brand of justice, which has earned him the approval of some in the Church. Gallis is not particularly close with his family; he is rumored to have exiled one of his sons, and the other two children have gladly taken lesser titles with lands far from their father's estates.<br><br><br> | <div style="float: left;">http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq194/afroakuma/Gallis.png</div> The youngest Duke of Ivalice and a fiery political upstart, Gallis entered the realm of politics carrying baggage from the actions of his warmongering father.

| + | ====Motion to Appoint in Preparation an Imperial Viceroy, October 1==== | ||
| + | '''Proposed:''' Count Rochester, Limberry [M]<br> | ||
| + | '''Seconded:''' Count Quintana, Fovoham [F]<br> | ||
| + | '''Concurring:''' Marquis Séraphin, Gallione [F], Cardinal Anselm [LS], Viscount Cassano, Lionel [IsM]<br> | ||
| + | |||
| + | This Motion, in accordance with the Imperial Viceroy Contingency Act, would name and lawfully appoint the presumptive Imperial Viceroy as laid out in the terms of the previously-mentioned Act. Count Rochester named as his appointee Duke Aroldain Lannast of Zeltennia. The motion received universal support from the Monarchists, strong support among the Lords-Spiritual and some sparse support among the Parliamentarians and Federalists. However, the expected surge in Federalist support on the heels of Lannast's negotiations with that party did not come to pass. It is suspected that Duke Gallis may have blocked much of his party from standing for this motion, but did not warn Séraphin or Quintana, whose active support in bringing the motion to the floor would have needed to be apparent for Lannast to permit his own party to stand for the measure. | ||
