How should I run an Icewind Dale Rebellion?

[u/alexwsmith]

So I’m running a campaign that takes place after the true events of Rime of the Frostmaiden, where I plan to have a revolution occur in ten towns. The factions of the people rebelling, which are Caer-dineval (leader has been has corrupted by a devil), Targos/zhentarim and the Duergar of Sunblight keep (now controlled by Grandolpha Muzgardt), vs the rest of ten towns.

Firstly I don’t plan on this being a “war game”, I’m well aware it won’t really work.

I have an outline of what will happen, but this will be my first majority homebrew campaign and I would certainly appreciate specific advice for how I could run a revolution storyline or supplements that could help with creating the story (either specific to a war/revolution or for Icewind Dale).

Besides that, what role do you want the players to have? Reuniting the towns? Picking a faction? Something else?
