People here like to be together, tending to crowd the same streets.{{book ref|wb|17}} Because of the warm climate, they are comfortable with wearing loose, revealing, and few clothes;{{book ref|wb|25}} their clothes are of all kinds of designs, makes, and colors, all meant to make them stand out, though the overwhelming effect is then that no one stands out.{{book ref|wb|14}} Most natives of the city believe in the [[Iridescent Tones]] and worship the Returned.{{book ref|wb|25}} Timepieces are not common,{{book ref|wb|11}} and punctuality is not a high priority in the city, especially among the Returned.{{book ref|wb|14}} It is also uncommon enough to go fully armed in T'Telir that wearing a sword draws attention.{{book ref|wb|19}}

While the culture of T'Telir is mostly uniform, there are some notable differences between rich districts and poverty stricken slums.
=== Wealthier Districts ===
The flora of the wealthier districts is described as being incredibly diverse, with dozens of different palms, various ferns, and grasses on a single garden plot. The buildings appear more rich. Slate sidewalks are constructed for pedestrians to make way for carriages, which are common in wealthier districts. 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. While performers are present in these commercial areas, there are fewer than in the average shopping district.{{book ref|wb|25}}
=== Slums ===

|Vivenna found the slums of T’Telir to be very interesting... like a carnival that had been hit by a mudslide.
