Doesn't that seem more logical than high-level adventurers staying stuck as the lackeys of the mayor of a minor village, or whatever else they started as?A high-level party may not need House Orien to teleport them around personally, but they may still want access to their teleportation circles and maps. They may want to cut a deal with House Lyrandar for use of an airship. The party rogue might be a better single spy than any one Dark Lantern, but they don't have anything close to the breadth of coverage or accumulated information the Lanterns have access to. Likewise Deneith can still provide protection or "boots on ground". If the party need a true resurrection, they will still need to petition the Towering Wood or Flamekeep, and those NPCs probably aren't going to ask for anything as mundane as a big bag of gold. As the party levels up, the nature of their interactions change, but they will still interact with the institutions of Eberron. Eberron has considerably less magical technology than 1920s had actual technology.</blockquote>
