'''Cities''' in ''[[Black Desert]]'' are the settled points an adventurer works out of rather than places to look at. Each region has one principal town, and the rest of its settlements are smaller and more specialized.

A town is a set of services before it is anything else. It holds storage, provides lodging for [[Black Desert/Workers|workers]], has workshops that can be bought and carries a counter for the [[Black Desert/Central Market|Central Market]]. Those four things decide whether a place is worth basing an operation in.

Their spread across the map is what makes the economy work. Goods have to travel between them, distance is what makes [[Black Desert/Trading|trading]] pay, and a chain of connected [[Black Desert/Node|nodes]] between two towns is what turns a remote mine into income.

= The principal towns =

Each region has one town that serves as its center and, for trade purposes, the place its goods are sold.

= Smaller settlements =

Most regions carry several lesser places, and they tend to exist for one purpose rather than as general bases.

[[Black Desert/Calpheon|Calpheon]] has the most: [[Black Desert/Keplan|Keplan]] mines, [[Black Desert/Trent|Trent]] cuts timber, [[Black Desert/Florin|Florin]] grows flowers and [[Black Desert/Epheria|Epheria]] handles the western sea traffic. [[Black Desert/Balenos|Balenos]] has the farming town of [[Black Desert/Olvia|Olvia]], and [[Black Desert/Mediah|Mediah]] has [[Black Desert/Tarif|Tarif]] and [[Black Desert/Kusha|Kusha]].

[[Black Desert/Valencia|Valencia]] has more small settlements than anywhere else, because almost nothing in the desert can support a large one. The [[Black Desert/Sand Grain Bazaar|Sand Grain Bazaar]], [[Black Desert/Shakatu|Shakatu]], [[Black Desert/Arehaza|Arehaza]], the port at [[Black Desert/Ancado Inner Harbor|Ancado Inner Harbor]] and the outlaw town of [[Black Desert/Muiquun|Muiquun]] are all stops rather than centers.
