No, a "province" would be shown on the map as an area such as (and woah, sit down when you read this) "The Province". Cities are on the map with a picture when they're major affairs, and as dots when they're just minor stopping points in the game.

I'm not discounting the possibility that the dwarves have/use caves. But nothing in the game suggests that they actually live in them, nor that the city is built in them. Nor why a tower would be used to defend a cave entrance, when two dwarves with a supply of cocktails could do just as well.

Myrgard was destroyed by the ghols. Ghols frequently are seen exiting and entering caves in the game, which suggests more readily that the ghols live in caves, and want Myrgard and Stoneheim because of that. The Dwarves, on the other hand, build over the caves, since (and get this) most people know that bat guano (bat's being cave residents) is often used as a source of salt pewter (I think that's the stuff) in the making of gunpowder. Dwarves like explosives, so do the math.

Again, no proof yea or nay for where the dwarves live. But I strongly diagree with putting them in caves simply because most fantasy stories do (even Norse myth, actually). After all, how hard would it be to put a picture of a cave on the map if that's where Bungie intended them to live?
