Daobeth

"The citadel of Daobeth. My father would tell me stories of it, as a child. For hundreds of years with the greatest city in the Five Kingdoms."

- Arthur Pendragon (deleted scene)

Daobeth was a kingdom that was the most powerful of the Five Kingdoms, until it was brought down by dragons for unknown reasons.

History
Hundreds of years ago, the kingdom of Daobeth was the most powerful of the Five Kingdoms. Its citadel, stronger than any other, contributed in making it the greatest of the five.

Daobeth participated in many different battles and won many victories. However, despite all this, the kingdom was attacked by dragons. This battle ended in its destruction, despite a strong citadel. Since then it has been left in ruins.

When Merlin travelled to the Isle of the Blessed, he went past Daobeth (Le Morte d'Arthur).

When the veil between the world of the living and the spirit world was torn, the Dorocha were released and Arthur intended to travel to the Isle of the Blessed to repair it. On the way, they went past Daobeth and spent the night there, thinking they'd be safe from the Dorocha. But they thought wrong. The Dorocha broke in and harmed Merlin, who was protecting Prince Arthur.

Arthur later sent Lancelot to take Merlin to Camelot's court physician Gaius. After that, he and the Knights of the Round Table departed Daobeth and continued their journey to the Isle of the Blessed (The Darkest Hour).

Trivia

 * The only time the kingdom was identified as "Daobeth" was in a deleted scene in The Darkest Hour: Part One, when Arthur was saying that it was one of the strongest kingdoms before being brought down by dragons.
 * Daobeth is located in three days' way from Camelot. (The Darkest Hour: Part Two)
 * It's interesting that in the deleted scene, when Arthur was talking about the Daobeth, the ruins of his citadel was not visible on the ground, unlike the original series. Perhaps because of this, this scene was deleted from the series.
