Revolution in

Using every means of pressure available, the nobility of our nation has managed to seize control of power in our Republic. The sons of powerful aristocratic families parade in the streets, as well as in the palaces of the Republic. At this point their rivals could never hope to find a legal way to re-establish the influence that they have lost.\n\nA legal way? Last night, a young noble was killed during a sordid fight in a tavern. The murderer is a widely known noble himself, the first son of his family. As the authorities intervene, however, the one who stands accused of this crime is someone else entirely, coincidentally the son of a master weaver who is also a prominent spokesman for the Guilds.\n\nNext morning, Guilds and Traders have begun distributing bread and weapons to the commoners; the upset crowds rally around the our ruler's palace, and a first charge by the urban militia has caused great loss of blood and lives, before the mob could violently avenge itself. our ruler is under siege.
