        Any peasant who attempts to make waves goes away, in one manner or another. What are they going to do, revolt? I'm certain there are occasional peasant uprisings in the Rokari lands -- maybe as many as one a century.

        The Forces of Evil often remain in charge of an oppressive society for centuries on end, and the Rokari lands, if you view them in that way, are no different. The actual Middle Ages were by and large a Lawful Evil kingdom, where might made right. For that matter, so is much of the modern world. If only the A-Team would save us.
