Here's some super cool food for thought.
The most seditious prophecy in all of magic book, was the notion that...after god had laid down his judgement, people would beat their swords to ploughshares, and their spears to pruning hooks, and would no longer learn war.
This is coming from isaiah, the archetype for the tribe of judah, this tribe believing (or declaring) that god considered their tribe first among tribes. Both before and during the conflict the people were prohibited from working metal or even owning the tools to work metal. That task was handled by appointed loyalists under close scrutiny. The notion that a bunch of grumbling rednecks who the ruling caste depended on for levied troops would not only break that law - but would break it in a way that weakened their military depth, and then refuse to serve, was nothing more or less than a declaration of open rebellion as they fought to maintain their territory.
