PCs are hired by a group of strange foreign types who've come to their city hunting a run away Prince.
If they look into it further, the lot of them come from an evil as fuck style empire. Is it morally right for the PCs to help such a government?

When they find the Prince he refuses outright to return with them on the grounds he's now seen what a republic is like and thinks its far better than a Monarchy, he wants there to be a succession crisis so he can manipulate his own people into standing on their own two feet and revitalize their stagnant, brutal and ancient autocratic caste-based empire. He wants the PCs to stop others finding him and then assist in bringing down his own House and the Noble Caste.

Hard mode:
Various factions built around special interests (various guilds, guild opponents, disestablismentarianists, anit-those guys, labor reformers, etc.) have suddenly become at each others throats with newly hateful rhetoric. Emotions are boiling over seemingly out of nowhere. Group polarization is happening fast, splitting communities and even families. A peaceful resolution seems further away every moment as demands and calls for change become more and more reasonable. In the middle of all of this, a priest appears seemingly poffering proof that his God does exist and in the turbulent times, many of the smallfolk have turned to his belief. Rumors abound that even some local leaders are supporting him behind closed doors and may come public when the time is right.

>hook plays off of conflict theory and how situations become untenable (things like group polarization which describes how views within a group can become more extreme over time), possibly leading to revolution. There's still time to prevent it, or accelerate it. Some in the various movements actually believe that they are doing the right thing, a handful see it as an opportunity to gain more power and wealth. The priest can be played as the latter, or hell, screw hardmode and an emissary of a returned god: whether pissed and vengeful, or peaceful and loving or appearing like one but actually the other are all pretty decent tropes to follow.

A Region formerly prosperous at the edge of a formerly mighty empire. The Empire is being crippled by infighting and scheming High-Nobles, City-States and a young as well as powerless emperess.

The Region we are adventuring in was ravaged during each of the last three big wars, always being the main battleground between the enemies of that great empire, as well as staging ground for incursions into the main land.

The Region is torn between those Noble Families who remained in Power after the Fallout of these last wars subsided. Factions within the Region include:
> Formerly Mighty Noble-Houses infighting amongst each other
> Infighting within these Noble Houses
> Fighting against the fallout and leftovers of three big wars, whose mercenaries and soldiers still pillage the land
> A small couple of Obvious Bad Guys,
> A Corrupt Imperial Officer, who SHOULD be in Charge of restoring Order to the Region.

While the Heroes first start out as warlords themselves they can eventually start acting on the political stage.

Finally, the great Climax is a Fourway Brawl between
> a has-been Imperial High Commander who had been disgraced an a Renegade for many years, returning ahead a mercenarie army and employing any ( ANY ) means necessary to restore order

A coven of Hags has fled to a local village and begged to be hidden from... something? They swear if the village aids them they will ally themselves with the villagers...

The villagers are worried and suspicious... these normally vile creatures are begging for their lives... why? What could they be afraid of, and why would hiding in a village protect them?

The players wander into the village the night of the Hag's arrival, with a third of the town up in arms, a third confused and a third hiding...

The next day a child is found with plants growing from their body... and the hags are blamed... but they claim it is not them... but whatever they seek refuge from...

Being this bait

The princess is pregnant with a demon.

Planar slaves (party) crash land in a strange new world and want to find their way home.

Stop a neromancer trying to shroud the world in darkness. When he's stopped, he dies laughing, saying that at least he tried and now he won't have to see it.

Days later, the king is found dead in his bedchambers. The kingdom is assaulted by monsters who can only enter the material plane when there is a shadow cast on the ground/wall.

The knights have been turned by a warlock and now seek to kill the king. You must assist in his escape through the city's sewers.

10/10 would lead in glorious revolt against the crown

Dragons got organized. They're done with the humanoids and their dumb shit.

Constant warfare between city-states. They must raise their own up in standing before their people is slaughtered.

A wizard wants samples of every species in the world for an elaborate ritual dedicated to categorising everything in the world. He's already got all the easy stuff, and he hires the party to do the fighting- and dungeon-crawling-related stuff.

Fighter's guild quest line in Oblivion was pretty cool. Actually had some depth to it beyond "go hit kill many thing"

No gods because powerful hero destroyed them all in quest to free mortals from the shackles of divine overlordship; achieve true freedom. Disappointed when mortals don't abandon old beliefs and embrace the new. His crusade rejected, he becomes new tyrant god.

A "divine child", believed to be an emissary of the gods, has been discovered. Fighting has started over who should claim the child, but the child itself has been lost in the confusion. Strange "miracles" and incidents continue to appear, suggesting the child yet lives, but no one knows which faction, if any, currently holds the child.

You've been approached to find and secure it by one of the factions involved, hopefully before the child's power grows too great to be handled or before they're perverted by the ideology of an opposing organization.

A tyrant king is prophesised to never be overthrown by anyone born of a woman. Little does he know, his best friend was removed by cesarean.

There's a movie about him. It's called Star Wars. Maybe you heard of it.

The finest warriors of the realm form an organisation to topple the kingdom they served loyally for decades due to their ideals and trusts being betrayed over and over again. You play the fresh faced recruits that will go through the gauntlet to execute these people in the name of the king, one by one, learning along the way that they are not the bad guys, and yet they still had to die for the kingdom to live.

"Dragons" return as the great worms wake from their slumber to devour the world tree. As the stars align it will grow anew and threaten to choke the entire world, before launching its seeds among the stars.

A world eating alien awakens from it's slumber in the core of the planet. You and your band ragtag adventurers need to travel back in time, tracing the origins of said alien life form, grow strong and then confront the devourer of worlds before it is too late.

People are rioting because their massproduced crystal balls will no longer load "Angry Aarakocras". A dual class maintenance wizard/project manager sends the party to fix the problem by going in and angering the Aarakocras, who are actually overfed stirges with unrelenting narcissism.
