FFG's rules and political strength

By pulsar3, in Arcana

I'm a fan of Cadwallon and was hoping someone could explain the new character trait of "political strength" in this game. I understand FFG's own rules aren't available yet, and I like the idea of further intrigue, so, is this game completely different from the play in Cadwallon: City of Thieves? Can someone briefly describe the political strength and bribing mechanics?

I am also interested in the new rule set. Soon?
