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 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.

History

Dugthail's history can be traced back to Tekkia in the formative era, which was succeeded by periods of local self governance until it was formed into the nation of Sahr.

Formative era

The city was founded in the Formative era for traders from Solaria and the northwestern highways. The city began to expand to facilitate influx of these traders. At this time several smaller harbour towns were created on the coast which would transport goods from ship to Dugthail, to then be sent further south. There is evidence of Burric practices in burials but this is disputed.

2040s onward

From the 2040s Dugthail had limited self governance as it grew. Burric raids from the northwest were common. From 2160 onward it is confirmed the Chevspendic horde were part of these Burric raiders.

Sahren ownership

Chevspendi settlers arrived in 2106 as part of a plan to settle the horde into a centralised civilization. Dugthail was peacefully annexed and temporarily became the capital until the founding of Khosa in 2112. Dugthail remained the economic centre and most populous city despite Khosa's 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.
