It was decided that in order for the city to function a ruling system needed to be established until a new governor was appointed by the Loaman Emperor, on M12-25 366 ASB the interim government was decided to be composed of three councils which were; The Earida Noble Council composed of the surviving relatives of Troy Brown along with a handful of other minor nobility who were in the city, the Earida Merchant Council which was composed of representatives from each of the seventeen powerful merchant families who had ties to the city and the Earida Peasant Council which was composed of representatives from the forty-three designated peasant families. Robert Hauteville was the representative of the Hauteville-Lovett family. Hauteville married Renee Acevedo on M6-02 374 ASB, she took the name Hauteville.

During this time the Earida Peasant Council had had four separate votes as to whether or not to dissolve as ordered, Hauteville was firmly in the no dissolution camp. M12-21 377 ASB the Earida Peasant Council voted to send a representative to negotiate a deal for their council as the merchants had done months prior, the individual chosen was Harvey Sampson who was the head of the Sampson-Colon family. The negotiations took place on M1-19 378 ASB and resulted in the dissolution of the Earida Peasant Council in exchange for a large plot of the city's slums to be given collectively to each council member as a tax free area.
