Well, the dungeon had 100 levels. The pigmen had more than enough land to do as they pleased. They wouldn't be able to cross the dungeon floors on their own though. The dungeon did not register them as challengers—it wouldn't count if they killed boss monsters; the key point would not be revealed to them.
Damian used the dungeon to get all the others near the key point and told them what their options were. Sulthar and his group were eager to go meet their sun god. Damian explained to them how they needed one of them to go with them in order to reach that high up in levels. Damian told them to stay here for a while—he would be back, and then they could go as deep as they wanted. Until then, they could choose to live in this desert.
Sulthar hardened his face upon seeing the giant sword in the middle of the desert floor—that had to be a familiar sight for him. They had no choice but to agree and stay there.
