Another notable feature of T'Telir lies in the [[D'Denir]] Celabrin, imposing statues of warriors supposedly left as a memorial to those who died in the [[Manywar]] and as a reminder to the Hallandrens of the cost of war.{{book ref|wb|28}} The first ones were left to the city by [[Peacegiver|Peacegiver the Blessed]] right after the Manywar, though new ones are commissioned yearly by the Returned.{{book ref|wb|9}}▼
|Many of the painted buildings did clash, but none of it was sloppy. There was a sense of craftsmanship and art to everything from the storefronts, to the people, to the statues of mighty soldiers that frequently stood on corners.

=== The Court of Gods ===
T'Telir contains the [[Court of Gods]],{{book ref|wb|4}} The Court is built on a plateau{{book ref|wb|4}} in the south of the city, and entirely walled off.{{book ref|wb|4}} The Court consists of a number of palaces for the [[Returned]],{{book ref|wb|4}} a large palace for the [[God King]]{{book ref|wb|4}} and an Arena used for entertainment.{{book ref|wb|14}} The Court exists to protect the [[Returned]], so that they may bless humanity, and to rule [[Hallandren]].

Most of the original statues reside in the D'Denir Garden,{{book ref|wb|28}} an open grassy field with many statues, this garden is one of the only ones in the city which doesn’t feature flowers and trees and isn’t full of bustling people.{{book ref|wb|28}} The exact location is unknown, but it is somewhere in the north of the city. The garden is noticeably quiet and serene in comparison to the rest of T'Telir.{{book ref|wb|28}} Despite this, it is a popular place for clandestine meetings after hours.{{wob ref|6963}}
=== Docks ===
T’Telir lies on the shores of the [[Bright Sea]],{{book ref|wb|4}} and because of it’s location in a sheltered bay, T’Telir is a prime port. The T’Telirite docks are made up of the shipyards,{{book ref|wb|54}} a number of warehouses{{book ref|wb|54}} and the dock slums.{{book ref|wb|54}} These slums are located between the shipyards and the warehouses.{{book ref|wb|54}} The dockslums are full of dockhands,{{book ref|wb|54}} who live and drink here.{{book ref|wb|54}}
Stormrunners are ships that go and fish during the spring tempests.{{book ref|wb|42}} Stormrunners have a high casualty rate, due to sailing in the spring tempests.{{book ref|wb|42}} T’Telir has a number of these Stormrunners.{{book ref|wb|42}} Everyone who wants to fish in T’Telir waters needs to pay a fee.{{book ref|wb|53}} Some people avoid this by fishing at night however.{{book ref|wb|53}}
There are people at the docks who sew nets.{{book ref|wb|42}} The slumlords of T’Telir often dump bodies in the bay,{{book ref|wb|53}} hiring people to go out at night and sink the bodies.{{book ref|wb|53}}
=== Markets ===
T’Telir has many markets. Like the rest of T’Telir the markets are very colourful.{{book ref|wb|9}} Most of the markets in T’Telir are decorated with the D’Denir Celabrin.{{book ref|wb|9}} When entering the markets a person is instantly bombarded by the sight, sound, scent, and colours of T’Telir.{{book ref|wb|9}}
The wealthier shopping districts do not contain merchants raising tents to shade themselves as they sell wares. Instead, there are many high quality, colorful shops with more expensive goods.{{book ref|wb|25}} While performers are present in these markets, there are fewer than in the average shopping district.{{book ref|wb|25}}
The T’Telirite markets are full of merchants from distant kingdoms,{{book ref|wb9}} such as [[Idris]],{{book ref|wb|9}} [[Tedradel]]{{book ref|wb9}} and likely the kingdoms beyond the mountains.
