Up until recent times, Fhirdiad was a disorderly city due to issues such as the water supply being poorly constructed, leading to several cases of sickness and disease. To solve this, King Lambert hired a researcher named Cornelia, who advised that he give top priority to improving the city's infrastructure. In the space of just a few years, the city was transformed into a place of beauty and order, subsequently making the diseases that had plagued the land loose their grip, one after another.
In modern times, Fhirdiad is home to a prestigious school of sorcery attended by nobles from across Fódlan. The study of magic is popular in the city, and the people have a reputation for being skilled at crafts. Due to the climate, the lands encircling the city are completely barren.
The Tailtean Plains, outside the capital of Fhirdiad, are a location of both economic and historical importance to the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus. Like Gronder Field in the Adrestian Empire and the County of Gloucester in the Leicester Alliance, the Tailtean Plains are a vital agricultural site. They were also used as the battleground in the Battle of Tailtean in Imperial Year 91, a pivotal confrontation late in the War of Heroes in which the King of Liberation Nemesis was slain by Saint Seiros, breaking the back of the Adrestian Empire's opposition in Fódlan. This was also the spot of a decisive battle where Loog defeated the Emperor to end the War of the Eagle and Lion in Imperial Year 751.
The location is inspired by Tailte, a place in Ireland where a fair and ancestor worship would be held when an important person in Irish society would have died.

Upon the city's completion, House Rowe promptly revolted against the Empire and joined the Kingdom, gifting it a valuable bulwark against incursions from the south. For its contribution, the Kingdom awarded House Rowe the title of count.
Duscur boasts no noteworthy features, but is rumored to be rich in valuable minerals. Its people practice polytheism and worship a pantheon of different gods, viewing the gods of other countries as equally valid and incorporating them into their own pantheon as they did with Sothis. Revealed in the support conversation between Mercedes and Dedue, Dedue claims that the “oversimplified” version of the creation of Duscur involved the sky god becoming angry with the earth god and, in retaliation, created Duscur.
According to Dedue, Duscur had many scattered towns, with each one specializing in one trade. Duscur was also home to several unique flowers native to the region.
