Urû'baen (Translation: the downfall of the wise) was the capital city of the Broddring Empire and the center of the Broddring Kingdom under Galbatorix . The king rarely left Urû'baen, except during times of great need. The only known time after the Dragon War he left was to Dras-Leona, where he went to punish the corrupt Lord Tábor. Until it was taken by Galbatorix and the Forsworn during the Dragon War, Urû'baen had been an elven city named Ilirea and then the capital of the Broddring Kingdom. Oromis was said to have lived here before the Dragon War and had made a Fairth of it the day he fled the city before Galbatorix took control. After Galbatorix was defeated, Nasuada changed the name of the city back to Ilirea.
