Public Agenda

Count Gavril Vorpadaran currently campaigns through multiple channels for an overhaul of Vorloupulous's Law. Specifically, he wants it amended so that only the Emperor or Empress, or their Regent ratified by a two-thirds majority of the Council of Counts, has the authority to lay charges of violation of the law. Count Vorpadaran points to the number of times this charge has been laid against his own House only to be proven false as a sign that Vorloupulous's Law is easily abused for political purposes.
