Thereīs a rather huge gap here between "what is possible because we have the rules for it" and "what is reasonable because we have rules for it and donīt need gm fiat".

So when we use the rules for creating campaign worlds, what we end up is lvl 12th casters at most before applying gm fiat and introducing "named" NPC. So where does that stuff come from? Who crafts and sells it? This issue is best exemplified when using the Eberron core setting, as no NPC there is stated to be higher then level 12. So where does that magic junk come from? Again, basic DMG thingie here: Base it on "our" reality if you donīt have answers. No creators, no items, no ready knowledge about them. Simple.
Are you reading only what is convenient to you?
