So just a quickie Political question about fantasy worlds:
In fantasy world's why don't Commoner-born Mages, Wizards, Magic Knights and whatnot, Try and do a coup or revolutions?
Of course, they are humans, they sometimes make mistakes, but also learn from them. But they can also be corrupted and drunk with power. Now to the main meal— If we are to go with normal and realistic numbers, Commoners should outnumber the Divinely-assigned Nobility, meaning that as long as the Magic power and Mana stuff aren't manipulated nor monopolized by the Nobility or some whatnot superpower (Lmaooo Religion goes brrrrrr).
The Commoners can do and actually possess the capabilities to properly execute a coup, against the Nobility and Royalty... very easily...
Which gives me a question? Don't they have non-magic-oriented intellectuals? Philosophers? will they reach the point of scientific revolution? Enlightenment? industrial revolution? class revolution (Like making the nobility collapse then establishing a new form of government)? and whatnot?
They are humans and they learn, yet why can't I seem to find a story with commoners actually questioning the position, authority, the overall existence of the Nobility itself?
I know that most commoners don't possess knowledge nor that much intellect due to their limited to non-existent education, but I'm talking about Commoner-born Mages, Wizards, Magic Knights, etc. They not only obtained the knowledge of liberal arts, Politics, History, Math, etc. from their respective Magic and Sword Academies but they also know first hand the arrogance and personalities of the Future Nobility.
Bullying and abuse in Magic and Sword Academies from young Nobles to commoners are one thing and Older Nobility abusing and mistreating Older commoners are another— The former actually learns from this experience for their future and to push theirselves further, While the latter just accepts being maltreated and abused due to their age and responsibilities.
They possess Anger, Frustration, and contempt for the Nobility— YET WHY NO REVOLUTION? NO COUPS? NO QUESTIONS?
Is it because Loyalty? Honor? FEAR? And most of those principles and qualities of the 'Knight' or in other words, a 'Model Subject' for the crown and their respective lords.
Please answer me (I'm sleep-deprive and I want answers), This is very Important for a Novel that I'm currently planning.
