Dwarven settlements within the Pathfinder 2nd Edition (PF2) setting represent significant centers of dwarven culture, industry, and history. These fortified locations often serve as both economic hubs and strongholds against various threats. The existence and characteristics of these settlements heavily influence regional politics and trade within the game world.
The establishment of dwarven cities provides a benefit to understanding dwarven society. Exploring locations gives insight into dwarven values, technological prowess, and relationship with the surface world. Their influence shapes not only dwarven affairs but also interactions with other races and organizations, as these cities are often centers of trade, diplomacy, and sometimes conflict. The historical background of many cities illustrates the endurance and resilience typical to dwarven narratives.
