Building a better Alphinaud

[Simple_Barghest]

Did you...do...the role quest? Fourchenault offered Garleans sanctuary in Sharlayan. Some took him up on it. Some decided they wanted to try to rebuild and there was talk of getting their remaining Senate together. And some decided they wanted no part of either option and are going to the moon. In none of that did Fourchenault try to push any ideas of Sharlayan democracy and he was very much hands-off in how they wanted to run things, only offering to assist them in the endeavor they chose.

No but democracy bad, so it existing in the same in-game boundaries means it got pushed.

Never mind that Garlemald was a republic before it was an empire and the senate existed from that time and was carried on. It just lost power in favor of the military, but they were still public officials who offered counsel to the Emperor. It makes sense that citizens would turn to them for some form of government, especially since most of the military legions (or maybe all? I'd have to check some stuff) are defunct now and they were the other major non-imperial power.
