Every Stronghold had different sectors that acted as their own tiny country. These Sectors, depending on their sizes, houses thousands to millions of human lives.

Not even 15% was powerful enough to fight against a LVL 25 daemon. The world may have given everyone the power to change, but that does not change the fact that others do not wish to rely on conflict to rise in power. Many still rely on others.
However, that didn't indicate they didn't contribute to the world; it just meant they have different roles to fill. After all, the world would not function if all were but mindless fighters and no thinkers.
And while the fighters fight for peace and resources, these thinkers sat in a tower called the Obelisk.
