I Just think that  If a power grows unchecked they get full of themselves.

Look to Admiral Cirtieon(<sp.>) from the Cloakmaster Series Eye of the
Maelstrom.  All race have the tyrant and if the elves went unchecked he may
have succeeded.
Also there is one constant the money, the Arcane make money that would make
a P.C. think the largest dragon horde was but a copper piece. If a race buy
to many helms they may one day have too many.  And if they have no way to
destroy or lose helms they would not need the arcane enter the enemy.
