Dul-Tharrudin
Dul-Tharrudin was originally built as a fortress to protect the capital city of Mineffeh and other cities in the triangle between the River Pykeris and River Saan. Assuria has been threatened over the years by its rivals in Hurardu, and the most important city-states of that kingdom are in the mountains about 100 miles north of Dul-Tharrudin, so it maintains a strong army ready to fight. The city has also been used as a starting point for attacks into Hurardu. After the capital was moved to Asshur, Dul-Tharrudin was expanded to hold a summer palace for later kings, who found the foothills cooler in the hot seasons than the current capital city.
