First of all, stealing all the life energies of people is pretty much evil, and enough reason to stop them on that ground alone. And they will probably require lots of slaves for it - which is a good way to get the PCs involved if they follow the trail of a kidnap victim.Second, they haven't directly threatened another realm with them yet, but most observers figure that this is only a matter of time - and the rulers of goodly realms are probably getting stomach cramps when thinking of so much magical power in the hands of these groups.Getting to the Nexus Tower is going to be pretty difficult, however. First, the slave pens around the Tower probably have all the lovely ambience of a medieval equivalent of concentration camps - and the security will also be appropriate. Second, the Tower itself will be heavily defended - after all, they are the fantasy equivalent of ICBMs...All in all, it could make for quite a few interesting adventures.</blockquote>
