Differences between Yuthuppa and Raibanth

I've previously made a thread about Alkoth, and it seems to me that it is by and far the most distinct of the Dara Happan Tripolis. Its explicit association with Shargash and its physical construction, being surrounded by a massive, green solid-structure wall makes it stand out visually as well.

I've sometimes asked myself what exactly makes it "Dara Happan" beyond simple imperial history and administratrion (does Alkoth have Buseri priests scrying the skies? Does its noble houses act as fastidiously and jealously as their Yuthuppan counterparts? Etc. etc.)

This made me also consider in what ways the two other cities, Yuthuppa and Raibanth, were different from each other. I will admit, that aside from the Footstool of Yelm being located in Raibanth, and it therefore being the traditional coronation site of the Emperor, and the Star Towers of Yuthuppa, I can't really see much of a difference between them, culturally.

Aside from specific historical events and the various monuments, are you aware of any general practices, traditions, events, styles, etc. that separate the two?
