Edit don't respond. It is mentioned numerous times in the novels that lifeless grow more degraded over time as they work. They're kept in warehouses to preserve them for wars.

* It's mentioned that for more advanced Awakening, the ''exact'' wording of a Command can be very important (i.e. One of the contributing factors to the Manywar was the discovery of a Command that allowed for the creation of Lifeless with a single Breath, as opposed to the previous ''fifty''). It's also mentioned that Commands only work if spoken in the Awakener's native tongue. Combined, these two factors explain why Awakening seems to be almost exclusively a Hallendren thing, even centuries after its discovery. Since Commands only work in the Awakener's native tongue, Commands discovered in Hallendren can't be used by non-native Hallendren speakers. And even if they translate the Commands, the exact wording, the subtleties that make such a difference, will be lost, so each must be research and rediscover specific Commands. Even most basic ability to transfer Breaths would have to be rediscovered in a new language, even if you know where to start from, and without that no real research is possible into other Commands.

* So in this world you are able to make, essentially, zombies that will completely obey their makers 100%. They don't need to eat or sleep, all they need is a special kind of oil and regular exercise. Naturally the kingdom decides to gather a bunch of these zombies and form them into an army. And then they...just leave them in a ware house and do absolutely nothing with them. Now call me crazy, but these people have just invented automatons. We have what are essentially robots that will do anything they're ordered. They should be living in a post scarcity society. Just before the start of the work they have a farmer's revolt. Why are they having humans do farm work when they could have the zombies do it instead. They'd do it far more efficiently, cheaply and with 0% chance of rebellion. Yet the singular thing these people can think to do with infinite labor is have them stand around and wait for a war.
** They do actually use the Lifeless for at least some labor: There's a landowner character who is mentioned to use Lifeless labor to clear his lands. As for why they don't make further use of them, it's probably some combination of just not thinking of it and the Lifeless not having sufficient initiative to perform any task more complex than "pick this thing up" or "cut that tree down".

* It's mentioned that for more advanced Awakening, the ''exact'' wording of a Command can be very important (i.e. One of the contributing factors to the Manywar was the discovery of a Command that allowed for the creation of Lifeless with a single Breath, as opposed to the previous ''fifty''). It's also mentioned that Commands only work if spoken in the Awakener's native tongue. Combined, these two factors explain why Awakening seems to be almost exclusively a Hallendren thing, even centuries after its discovery. Since Commands only work in the Awakener's native tongue, Commands discovered in Hallendren can't be used by non-native Hallendren speakers. And even if they translate the Commands, the exact wording, the subtleties that make such a difference, will be lost. Thus, each civilization on Nalthis must to a certain degree start from scratch in discovering Awakening. Even the command to transfer Breaths may take ages to discover in a new language, even if you know where to start from, and without that no real research is possible into other Commands.
