A seaport city, Ddwbha has access through the [[Inlet of Llachom]] to the [[Glirt Strait]] and to the greater [[Pallathantic Sea]].

=History=
Ddwbha was established by the Yophentheans who called the city [[Dhwebhustancha]]. By folk etymology, it is incorrectly associated in the minds of Gonfalese speakers with [[Ddwb]], the Medibgösk god of the west wind.

=Culture=
Ddwbha is known for its distinctive accent of [[Gonfalese Language|Gonfalese]]. The [[Ddwbha Dialect]] shares some similarities with the [[Ithantfas Dialect]], but is still recognizably different.
