** Most cities of Netheril were placed on artificial levitating islands. And when all magic was disabled for a minute or two... Since then, the relevant deity turns magic off "for maintenance" every few centuries, so no long-lasting civilization dares to depend on it ''that'' much. |

* In ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' the Imperium ''needs'' the Emperor to stay alive. He is using his psychic might to keep a hole in reality closed (that if allowed open would destroy the solar system, which is vital to the Imperium). He also plays a role in at least some psykers getting sanctioned, making them more powerful and giving them a little resistance against demonic possession. The Imperium depends on psykers he sanctions for faster than light communication. He also fights the chaos gods on their own turf. But most importantly he, he psychically calibrates the astromicon (which is pretty close to that hole in reality). The Imperium depends on the astromicon to make [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place|interstellar travel]] safe and reliable enough to be viable. In addition he is on a life support system called the Golden Throne, and its beginning to no longer work, and nobody save for the Emperor even knows how it works. Some fans actually think that if the Emperor dies: his spirit will continue to protect the Imperium from within the Warp, or be reincarnated. They almost always claim that he would do a better job of protecting the Imperium if he died. |

* In ''[[Warhammer Fantasy]]'', the Lizardmen spawning pools are, unsurprisingly, where new Lizardmen come from. Thing is, Lizardmen don't know how to make any new ones. And spawning pools aren't naturally occurring. Once the skaven destroy a spawning pool, the Lizardmen aren't getting it back. This weakness is barely mitigated by the fact that skinks aside Lizardmen are [[The Ageless]]. The reason the mitigation is so mild is that there are 4 types of Lizardmen. Slaan, Skink, Saurus, and Kroxigor. Slaans are the top of lizardman society and there are already no more slaan spawnings. Saurus and Kroxigors are strictly close combat warrior castes. Skinks do every job. They farm, they craft, they administrate, they fight. By the way, Lizardmen are pretty darn instinctive, so it's not like if all the skinks are gone, a Saurus will find it easy to learn how to farm. |
