In many a story, there comes a time when the villain or antagonist incites war, riots, fights, or other chaotic events for these reasons: * To shatter the bonds of a family or those between the hero and someone he or she loves. * For sadistic pleasure. * To tear a nation apart. * To start a war between two countries or nations. * To take over a kingdom. * To put the blame on someone, usually the hero. For example, he or she can provoke someone into a terrible state or push him or her into a state that would lead to terrible events.
