More of a coup than anything else XD probably just some mid level military backed by some rich kid who has no ties to the country (yet)

hey a revolution is a revolution, even if it’s small and fails completely as this one did. If you’re going against an established hereditary monarchy with no other heirs, then removing the person in power can only mean society-wide revolution eventually.

Silverwood is so wild like here are some things that are happening around the same time:

Charlie is picking up guys in skeevy bars and blowing his inherited money on a revolution which fails and his punishment for attempted treason is to be put in charge of a boarding school for delinquents.

Cyan is a highly respected and publicly adored stage actress but also she smuggles body parts for people who want to do black magic.

Gavin is dating a famous opera singer and also running a highly successful criminal empire so spends his life walking a very tight line between “what he needs to do” and “what people absolutely cannot see him do”.

Keir accidentally becomes king of a country he doesn’t even live in but is too busy Indiana Jones-ing it around the world to even spend more than a few weeks doing official business and even when he is in town he spends most of it giving lectures.

Ro is living in the wilderness with a bunch of sheep working as a medicine woman and also somehow rebelling against a country on the other side of a continent that she hasn’t lived in since she was 14.

Bonus round:

Kaite ‘kidnaps’ a princess and they elope to live in a small flower-covered cottage in the woods but also she works for Gavin and is his executioner/clean-up girl.
