Well, Escent did his best to try and save the realm. But too little too late. I think the realm was doomed by the changes to the food/gold balance portion of the game.
As a side note... The best part of the rebellion was that an infiltrator got to become a King of a realm! And, thanks to lady Sarwell helped Escent to become the first infiltrator king to carry out an assassination.
Oh, and yeah, phantaria is one for the history books.
