The people have been in ruin after the sorceress war. Much like germany after warld war 1. It seems pretty synominous when you think of it. A powerful undesputed leader was needed, and they got one. Thier minds clouded with revenge and self ritousness. The same thing happened with hitler. He was extreme and undesputed (for the most part) and seemed to be what the country needed at the time. The only difference is Edea is way sexier, and will prolly not rot in hell when its all over

The idea there is simply a mass confusion and riot. I don't think the people collectivly had a plan of revolting or anything. Remember when JFK got shot? Police had to deal with a similar situation.
