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.
