Seeds of Rebellion

The lord of a fertile duchy has imposed crushing new seed taxes just before planting, pushing tenant farmers to the brink of starvation. A secret group of rebels plans to steal the grain tithe and redistribute it, but their plan risks plunging the region into civil war. Infiltrate both manor and rebel camp, choose your allies carefully, and decide how justice should be sown.
