I think there is a difference in being allowed a type of dispensation to go to the surface to fight the Blight and actually getting exiled.

I thought you meant as a result of your support - more isolationist and rigid if you supported Harrowmont, more outgoing but fascistic if you supported Bhelen.
I'd definitely like to see what happens to dwarves if I keep supporting Bhelen - will they end up as a kind of open Communist society where you can potentially get quite wealthy (even if you were a brand), but your political freedoms are non-existent and if you ****** of Bhelen's honchos, you get locked up with some new marks on your feet?

Not happening, considering how much all dwarves (including Bhelen even though he is the more 'liberal' candidate) dislike surface dwarves, and consider them casteless.

I would love it if they started populating Kal'Hirol and some of the reclaimed thaigs again if you had soldiers help Orzamar reclaim them and played awakening.

Oghren when to the surface to fight against the Blight and he says in Awakening that he has become a surface dwarf, making it so that he couldn't return his former home.

It's not dislike. Many in the noble class have a power stake in keeping surface dwarves and castless dwarves where they are. If you play the Dwarven Noble origin, you actually run across some dwarves that are trying to get their surface relatives recognized for economic reasons, and the reason you're given for why you might want to oppose this is that it will weaken House Aeducan.
The only thing that will change Dwarven society is for people to start recognizing that they stand to gain a great deal from a government where the checks and balances don't come from people knifing each other in the back. But (metaphorically) stabbing people and taking their stuff is a dwarven tradition. No wonder they live in a huge monster-populated underground complex.

Not only would that contradict they're culture.
But religous beliefs as well, how can you worship the stone when you're gonna fall into the sky?

It's made clear in Origins that dwarven culture and economy have depended on surface-dwelling dwarves, stigmatized as they are, for some time -- just one of the many hypocrisies that made the people of Orzammar so delightfully sympathetic. One company of the warrior-caste (we for sure don't see a whole "army" in the final battle) taking a trip to Denerim isn't going to change that.
Huh. I wonder if that's also true of all the dwarves who came to fight as NPCs in Denerim.

Are there enough spare dwarves to build another city anywhere?
Isn't Varric already from an established surfacer community? Just not a terrifically big one.

many of them have been to the surface for months presumably. So they know that to be false

Even if that's true, presumably the surface dwarves like themselves enough to build a city.ghostmessiah202 wrote...
