The town of Davarn in the southwestern Five Kings Mountains2 is one of the centers of dwarven culture in the region.34

Description

The city is divided into an underground and overground section with the dwarves largely living in the former and humans living and farming in the latter.5

Government

Davarn is run by a council of five. Each councillor serves for 10 years but re-elections do not happen all at once, with one seat up for election every two years.5

  1. Spelt "Bessik" in one instance in Highhelm but consistently as "Bensik" in Down the Blighted Path, including for associated elements like Bensik Estate, so the latter form is preferred for now on the PathfinderWiki as both are Tier 2 sources.
