Estates General
The Estates-General committee is set in 1789, as France teeters on the brink of revolution under the weight of economic crisis, social inequality, and rising political unrest. Representatives from the First Estate (clergy), Second Estate (nobility), and Third Estate (commoners) gather to address the kingdom’s financial collapse and growing calls for reform. This committee will capture the tumultuous debates and ideological clashes that paved the way for the French Revolution.
