Ebou Dar is the capital of Altara. It is ruled by Queen Tylin, but her control does not extend far beyond the city. It sits on the southern coast of Altara at the mouth of the Eldar River and is a major port frequented by the Sea Folk. Most of the city lies on the west side of the river but a large slum area known as the Rahad lies on the east side. Most of the buildings in Ebou Dar are white and there are many canals. There are many large squares with statues in the middle.
