As a DM, this annoys me and I will give the advice that I gave one of my players; not everything is easy.
You have to remember we are mortals fighting DAIMONS. It's not easy for any realm right now, Spearhold is surrounded by anti-Daimons realms, Dominorum has rogues and the Shattered Vales to deal with and Obia'Syela is trying to carve out a realm in a literal rogue nest.
