The name Dugthail in tekkian means "land dock" or "land of docks". The city was originally founded as a small trading outpost for goods arriving into Tekkia from the north. The Egercian spelling of Dugthæl was caused by the 2109 linguistic reform act, which consolidated many Egercian letters together and mandated Egercian as the state language.

The name Dugthail is derived from Duga (dock) and Thail (town), meaning the name could be translated as "port city" or "land of ports". Although Dugthail is now an inland city, it used to be connected to the Khelym river, which is generally considered reason for the name.

Dugthail is one of the capitals of Sahr. It is the most populous city in the nation and the home of the Sahren monarchy.

Etymology

The name Dugthail is derived from Duga (dock) and Thail (town), meaning the name could be translated as "port city" or "land of ports". Although Dugthail is now an inland city, it used to be connected to the Khelym river, which is generally considered reason for the name.

The 2109 linguistic reform act changed the name to Dugthæl as it introduced Æ as a letter which retroactively replaced AE and AI combinations. The Y double consanant clause was not added to Dugthæl in any official capacity, and the spelling Dygthæl only appears in various informal writings from residents. In current times, Dugthæl and Dugthail are used interchangably.

History

Settlement in the region can be traced back to prehistoric times. Dugthail's founding as a city was a result of formative era Tekkia, which was succeeded by periods of local self governance until it was absorbed into the nation of Sahr in 2106.

Ancient history

The city was founded in ancient times as Aontan colonists fled their nation in pursuit of freedom and wealth. Those who turned north became the Egercians, and founded Dugthail along with other cities.

Self rule

As the Tekkian federation declined, Egercia left in 1991 becoming its own independant nation. Deadlock in the government led to locals taking to their own needs, leading to a breakdown in the legitimacy of the government in Dugthail. By 2095 the Egercian state had lost control of most other territories, only really able to enforce its own laws and taxes in the immediate area around Dugthail.

Sahren ownership

Chevspendic settlers arrived in 2106 as part of a plan to settle the horde into a centralised civilization. The Egercian rump state was annexed with little resistance and Dugthail temporarily became the capital until the founding of Khosa in 2112. Dugthail remained the economic centre and most populous city despite Khosa's political primacy.

In 2144 Dugthail became the temporary capital of the Sahren republicans and by 2146 was officially the home of the Sahren monarchy. The Sahren parliament and Presidential office were located in Khosa creating a dual capital system. Dugthail was somewhat immune to the Hysteria of 2160 as it did not take significant damage during the Sahren civil war.


Government

Dugthail resides in province of the same name, and the county of Central Dugthæl which contains both Dugthail and the neighboring city of Khosa, which is the county capital.

Economy

The industrial valley of Dugthail produces the most steel of the country at 9372 tonnes per yer on average. The majority of this is transported to Klensagrad to be manufactured into goods and ships.

Transport

Due to how the walls constricted development, the tram systems found in most sahren cities could not be replicated in Dugthail without unreasonable redesigns. Instead a trolleybus system was implemented along with passenger trains.
