Seems like this can be applied to the Landed Regents, the Guilder Regents, and
the Priest Regents too.
A Universal Regent problem if peasents start thinking at all.

Pit that against wizards (mainly offensive arsenals) and you have elven wizards attempting to fry the priests but hitting protection spells, all the while the human army (enhanced in #hits, attack values, etc and the ability to be healed) is decimating the elves.

I do. consider that because the elves are immortal, individual elven
mages are much higher level than human priests, who on average die off
at 70 or so. Also note that the humans are initially a relatively
small population, being refugees from Aduria, whereas the elves are a
continent wide civilization that dominates most of Cerilia except the
dwarven controlled mountains. This suggest (at least to me) that there
is less of a gap in numbers than you might expect. My personal
suggestion as to why the humans won that war is direct divine
intervention. Given that this is pre-deismaar, it is entirely feasible
for the human gods to manifest on the material plane to influence the
war against the godless elves.
