The nation's capital, this port city lies on the coast to the west in the inlet between the north and south peninsulas of the island. The city's location on the coast of Darios makes it an ideal spot for fishing boats to unload their catch and for fishermen to stock up on supplies. Darioport is also home to numerous processing plants, where the fish are cleaned, filleted, and packaged for export. Although Darioport plays a key role in the fishing sector's success, the city's economy is driven not only by fishing, but also by the various industries that have sprung up around it, such as shipping, logistics, and tourism. Visitors to Darioport can enjoy fresh seafood and explore the city's historic buildings, which date back to its early days as a fishing village.

=== Tabnit-Baal: ===
Tabnit-Baal is a historic port city located on the north coast of Darios. The city has a rich history dating back to ancient times and has been a hub of maritime trade and commerce for centuries. Tabnit-Baal is particularly well-known for its pearl diving industry, which has been a vital part of the city's economy for generations.
The pearl diving industry in Tabnit-Baal is centered around the city's shallow coastal waters, which are abundant in oysters and other mollusks that produce high-quality pearls. Local pearl divers use traditional methods to collect these valuable treasures, diving deep into the waters and searching for the prized pearls. The pearls are then sold to local jewelers and traders, who export them to markets around the world.
== Dariosi Paramilitary Trawlermen ==
The Darios Paramilitary Trawlermen are a group of fishermen who have been forced to take up arms in response to persistent attacks from the Ishtar Corsairs, a group of pirates and fishermen who operate in the contested fishing waters between Darios and Kha'Frri.
The Dariosi Paramilitary Trawlermen are known for their expertise in both the punishing conditions of trawler work and naval combat and boarding actions, with many of their members having trained in military tactics and weapons handling. They are often likened to navy commandos due to their exceptional ability to engage in combat while at sea and across coastal regions. The Trawlermen typically carry bolt-action rifles, grenades, and occasionally automatic weapons, and are known to use these weapons to defend their vessels and crew against attacks from the Ishtar Corsairs. The Dariosi Paramilitary Trawlermen are not an official military force and operate independently of the government, although they are believed to receive some support from the Imperial Navy and the Office of External Affairs as The Central Empire has interests in Kha'Frri that counters that of the warlords who lead the Ishtar Corsairs.
