Considering this is the capital we're talking about, It'd probably take a coalition to take it down. Multiple pretenders could have been involved, and once the smoke settles, they would probably turn on each other over who gets to be emperor.

Or at least I think that would be the coolest way to go about it.

I have no set idea about the Sacking in mind, I am open to anyone's factions or combination of factions being responsible for the Sack. Someone could even be holding the Emperor hostage or have killed him. You folks are free to work it out.
