First time posting to the forums!
So I've been working on a politically driven campaign and need ideas for driving tension.
The players start the campaign washed ashore on an island being the only survivors of a ship wreck. The island as they eventually will discover is inhabited by two factions of Minotaur separated by a treacherous, but narrow, stretch of jungle. The factions are differentiated by the labyrinths they walk.
The Stonewalkers
The Stonewalkers use the classic stone labyrinth and believe that walking the path of the labyrinth is a form of meditation fueled by the spirits of those who walked before them. The Stonewalkers think that the Leafgrowers are fickle and whimsical.
The Leafgrowers
The Leafgrowers grow hedge mazes and believe that to properly achieve enlightenment they must constantly challenge themselves with new mazes to walk. The Leafgrowers think that the Stonewalkers are stubborn and too set in their ways.
This is where I need ideas. What events could take place that could draw the PCs into a conflict between the two factions? My players tend to like RP a bit more than combat, but a healthy balance of the two is what I'm aiming for.
