[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9607633, member: 27385"] There is enough for the plot of the game, which is an non-answer but it also does not really matter. They are used to be a ballance to the players. Say, the PCs start killing everyone in the kingdom because they are now 10th level and more powerful that everyone, the DM had a tool to bring in a hit squad of the King to take out the problem and suddenly there is an adventuring band of 16th level PCs around. Same if the 15th level PCs need a mentor to learn something or need a sage to cast a spell they need that is 9th level. Bing, the DM makes something that fills the plot and the world has one. I ran a few campaigns taking place in Phandalin. The first group took over the abandoned castle and became local leaders. Now, the next campaign either has 12th level PCs in the village or I need to have them adventuring someplace else to have a campaign where new PCs can take care of local threats. I had the higher level PCs (now NPCs) available, but did not use them to take on the threats facing the other group. One was available to get knowledge from and be a minor questgiver, but not to take from the new campaign. [/QUOTE]
