Duergar & Property

[Quidix]

What are the rules when it comes to Duergars owning property on the surface? Does it differ homes vs shops?

In particular, I wanted to better understand the stance for non-settlements like Crow's Nest, Sibayad and the Arcane Tower?

I think there are 4 categories to consider:
[1] Settlements excl Guldorand - almost certainly no?
[2] Guldorand - probably yes, as there's a Duergar NPC with a shop?
[3] Non-settlements (Crow's Nest, Sibayad, Arcane Tower) - probably yes?
[4] Wilderness - yes, as even allowed by monsters?

Hello, so this is going to be a bit of a cautious answer, given honestly Duergar are the /wierd/ ones when it comes to surface interactions, and I am very much willing to let Irongron entirely overrule me with this but...

The answer is pretty much 'yes' to all of the above, - in that your presumptions above are on the mark, though with Guldorand I'd advise looking at homes more in the docks district than main district.

So it's
No living in settlments (especially not Brog!)
Yes to Guld (esp docks district)
A... cautious 'yes' to none settlments (I picture Sibiyad in particular being open to it)
Absolutly yes to wilderness.

That makes sense, thank you for clarifying!
