Message: <blockquote data-quote="painandgreed" data-source="post: 2858927" data-attributes="member: 24969">Dragotha only needs to show up once to destroy your kingdom and all your loved ones.  If you have epic enemies, do you really want to be surrounded by people who are just treated by them as terrain to be moved through? Epic level heros will share many of the troubles that modern day superheroes face, however secret identities won't really be an option since most of your coming into power will be a matter of public record if not a subject of bard's tales. One can always flee and hide, but the first time they have to display their powers due to a wandering monster or an enemy finds them, they'll have to do it again. Otherwise, word will get out, rumors will spread and eventually people will show up looking to make a name for themselves if nothing else. They might not even be near a match for the epic character in hiding, but chances are they'll take out those around the epic character first or in the attempt.Why would a bunch of demons not want to attack a city full of epic heros (who probably have made a life of killing demons) with enough magic items to create a god? Hrrm. What ever could cause them to hesitate for an instant when so many artifacts of mass destruction are just sitting there for anybody to walk in and carry away? Two things come to mind. One, logistics. their armies of demons are needed elsewhere and if they headed to Union, then their enemies would swarm in to the space they were defending previously. Two, fortification. With any township, I don't think that it is too far a stretch of the imagination to suppose that they built fortifications of some sort to defend against their enemies. I admit that I don't have the book, nor read the book, and will never buy the book but I don't think that it is too much to assume that an epic city would fortify itself with epic defences just as a normal city would foritify itself with a castle and walls.</blockquote>
