Public Historical Record
For centuries, Darat has served as the political and administrative heart of the Avi-da Kingdom. While recognized as one of the Empire’s principal centers of military coordination, the world is equally known for its diplomacy, stable governance, and enduring traditions of leadership.
Centered around River Palace, Darat balances expansive urban development with carefully preserved waterways, forests, and mountain ranges. This harmony between natural beauty and advanced infrastructure has become one of the defining characteristics of the world and the leadership philosophy of House Nador.
