Ddwbha [anglicized pronunciation: /ˈduːvə/, /ˈðuːvə/] is the greatest city in and the capital of Medibgóëse Gonfaloy. The palace of the Prince-Governor and the palace of the High Curia of Gonfaloy both rest in the city. A seaport city, Ddwbha has access through the Inlet of Llachom to the Glirt Strait and to the greater Pallathantic Sea. Ddwbha is the home of the high commandery of the Knights-Draconic of Gonfaloy. Since 2671, Ddwbha has been served by dragonrail. Ddwbha is the home of the small but prestigious Grast High College. Population 2745: 225,000.
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. The Ddwbha Dialect shares some similarities with the Ithantfas Dialect, but is still recognizably different.
