Messiah - One has come among them who claims to have The Answer, and the people are flocking to him in droves. He knows their hearts, assuages their fears. May lead to Persecution, Abandonment, Civil Unrest - the coming of a messiah, true or false, can cause a great deal of social disruption. It can even lead to a political Crackdown or Purge, especially if the church and state are one and the same. Riot - The people have had enough.
Petition turns to protest turns to anger.
Somebody jostles someone they shouldn't, and the next thing you know a riot has begun. Loss of property can be high and danger to life and limb very real. If large enough and ferocious enough, the riot may lead to a Fire, and will certainly lead to a Crime Wave as looters seize the opportunity and other people's property. The long-term consequences of a riot include a Crackdown or even a Purge. Strange Happenings - Odd coloured lights in the sky.
