Dartha is the capital and largest city of the Rihan Republic with a population of nearly 3 million. It is the first and oldest settlement: the center of politics, trade, and culture. The city lies at the mouth of the Sherdek River and the Apnex Sea. When the Rihannsu arrived, they decided to make landfall here due to the excellent natural harbor known as Be'Qai. In the centuries since its establishment, it has far outgrown the original fortifications of the Old City (Ira'sihaer) and now extends outwards into the fertile Aihai.
At the center of the Old City lies the Forum of Cailax where the Hall of State, the Central Septum, and the Praetorian Palace is located. The Senate meets every day, except for the third day of the week, under the Great Dome. An original copy of the D'Vatta, the Republic's constitution, is on display; while a public rostum is located in front of the building to enable senators to speak directly to the people on the issues of the day. The Markets of Relevek, constantly abuzz with individuals buying and selling their goods and services, is located just off the forum. The Rachan Marketplace is where the wealthy and powerful can purchase luxury goods including silks, fine jewelry, Kipanese ceramics, perfumes, and exotic foods.
The Republic's vast bureaucracy operates out of the Irnilt, a complex of buildings located beside the Hall of State as is the High Tribunal. Connecting the Forum with Victory Square is the Boulevard of Heroes, a broad road with a grassy median down the middle. It is lined with statues honoring the greatest of the Rihannsu including those honoring Valkis, Salangen, Laneshara, and Reldek the Great. Victory Square where there are regular military parades occur. In the days of early settlement, the Ira'sihaer was dominated by three fortresses: the Praetorian Palace, Telvan'rey, and Var'Theldun (currently the headquarters of the Phi'Tlaru).
The capital is home to numerous cultural and educational landmarks. The National Museum and the Library of Alvahet are located on Via Karzan. The Phi'lasasam, Rihan's largest public higher education institution, can be found along the Via Colius. This is a wide avenue that runs west from the city center. Dartha's major green space, Cor'Lavet Park, is home to the Republic's botanical garden which is home to thousands of plants from across Aurelia and the rest of Eurth and lies on the northwest Via Pontilius. Leading northeastward from the Old City is the Via Chula that leads to the Valley that bears its name. There is regular public transport for individuals to access and enjoy its beauty. The Rihannsu love sports and the Orventis Arena, a massive stadium that can seat one-hundred thousand spectators, dominants the skyline in the southwest. Rihannsu music and theatre is performed at the Umrika.
While some aristocrats reside in townhouses in the Old City, most live in large villas on the outskirts of Dartha, distancing themselves from the cramped apartment towers (Takas) that make up the majority of housing in the capital. Dartha has a strict policy on burials -- all must occur outside the city limits. Many of the most prestigious families have crypts inside the Rikolet, alternatively known was known as "The City of the Dead." Commoners are generally cremated.
The city is the nexus of the Republic's transportation network.

Talasagam Rheilhhu Rihana, the national railway network, originates from Dartha Central Station and spreads out to the various urban centers of the Republic.
Under Republic law, all armed military personnel, except for Dartha's City Guard (Morairi ih'Sivas) and the Praetorian Guard (Morairi ih'Fvillha) must remain outside the capital. This was instituted to reduce the risk of a military coup during the early days of the Republic. It remains on the books to this day.
