You have dedicated yourself to a particular cause, and have fought to bring about change as part of this dedication. As a revolutionary, you seek to overthrow an existing body of government, be it an elected body with ill intent, a tyrannical ruler born into power, or a mad dictator that had previously stolen power in the region. You may fight this fight alone, but it is much more common for a revolutionary to fight as part of a larger movement. Most revolutionaries have personally suffered under the thumb of those rulers they seek to unseat. Some revolutionary forces currently fighting in Stralis and the surrounding regions include the scorpios revolutionaries of Tamarud in Watan, the citizens of Ley in Tormenta fighting against their local nobles, and the blood mages and haemocraft enthusiasts of Dilmahaad seeking to reinstate the practice of blood magic into law, against the rani's wishes.

Discuss with your DM who it is you stand to fight against, where this fight takes place, and why you fight in this revolution. Who stands beside you in this fight of yours? What have you lost because of your involvement in this revolution? Why are you on the road now? Did your revolution fail? Are you on a particular quest that will turn the tide in your fight?
