It seems to somewhat fit default Forgotten Realms and moreso Mystara, but in plenty of other settings an NPC with the power of an 8th-10th level PC certainly could be the leader of a major organisation. I would put Greyhawk in there, and it fits my Wilderlands setting - a pirate chief is likely based off something like the CR 5 Gladiator stats, not a 12th level Fighter or Rogue. My 5e Golarion too, pretty much. In most settings Tier IV PCs are easily 'Epic', among the strongest mortal individuals in the world. In my Wilderlands game the 18th level Barbarian Hakeem is widely regarded as an avatar of Bondorr the Sword God. I think by Epic you mean 20th level with some number of Epic Boons?</blockquote>
