Roots of Revolution

[Schmoe]

Howdy. I'm interested in learning about revolutions, what triggers them, and what happens during them, specifically in relation to my campaign. I've begun a thread in the plots forum, if you have any advice or knowledge you want to share:

I completely misread the title for this thread, thinking I could
see a new magic item, the "Boots of Revolution"

Hehe, that's an interesting idea though, yes? Perhaps a cursed item that forces the wearer to spin in place until they are so dizzy they can't move. Then everyone will say, "Oh no, he's been struck by the Boots of Revolution!"

Trust...the lack of it rather.

well, from a historical stand point revolusions are caused by a number of things. The present ruler is corrupt and is draining the country side of all food, resources, etc. The government is corrupt and mistreating the people. There is a new charismatic leader that wants the top spot and is rraising an army to take it. A new religion has become popular in the masses and the rulers, non-converts, are prosecuting them. The new religion(above) teaches a new way of thinking and moves people to see present ruler as corrupt/wrong/evil/etc. that about covers everything.
Glad to have been a help
