Foltest, as with his father, is not very fond of his grandfather, Hugo of Rivia. Upon his accession to the throne, he demanded that Hugo's portrait be removed from throne room. He is also in the habit of "leaving Hugo out" of family genealogy. Plenty of time is devoted to lauding his great-grandfather, Griffin, as he is known to speak warmly of "Grandmama Bienvenu" and "Great-grandmama [[Clarissa of Toussaint|Clarissa]]".

Although the kingdom (look at the map) is extensive, the core property of royal family is small and can be compared to that of [[Lyria (kingdom)|Lyria]]. The realm is divided between several dukes, princes, warlords, governors, elders etc. subordinated under [[Temerian Royal Council|State Council]] and [[King of Temeria|Crowned Head]] (or [[Interrex]]).
