The Rastadel plotline is sort of evocative of the early French Revolutionary period. You have the Three Estates (the First Estate/clergy/Blues, the Second Estate/nobility/Purples, the Third Estate/everyone else but especially the merchant and lawyer class/Coppers) all vying for power while the threat of war looms over the realm (what would eventually become the War of the First Coalition/war with the demons' army). The clergy losing legitimacy in the metropole, a nobility gorging itself on the misery of its subjects, and an ambitious bourgeoisie willing to take the reins on the mechanisms of state after it's become clear that the old feudalistic order has decayed beyond any hope of salvation. French Revolutionary history extremely rules and the plotline slaps, is what I'm saying
