As the Royal Capital of the Twilight Kingdom, this city had a permanent population of over five million.
The reason Dunn had concealed himself in this tavern was that he still had not fully decided whether to act.

So only by confirming that the world truly favored the gods in this age could Dunn resolve to take this path.
Of course, Dunn could also forgo this attempt and simply wait for others to explore the way ahead, until they confirmed this point, or until the Age of the Gods truly arrived.
