=== Colour ===
T’Telir, like the rest of Hallandren, is extremely colourful.{{book ref|wb|4}} Buildings are painted in a wide array of, often very bright, colours.{{book ref|wb|9}} The same goes for the people, most of whom wear brightly coloured clothing{{book ref|wb|13}} and even dye their hair.{{book ref|wb|14}} Even furniture and other objects are painted.{{book ref|wb|22}} Due to this there are very few dull things in the city, and most of them are located in the slums, which contain objects and buildings with faded colours.{{book ref|wb|22}} The T'Telirites love greenery and as such the city is designed with many gardens and open spaces that show off its greenery and have palm trees and other flora growing along the streets.{{book ref|wb|4}}{{book ref|wb|25}}
=== Wealthy Areas ===
The wealthy areas of the city are very diverse, ranging from huge mansions to regular sized houses.{{book ref|wb|17}} These residential areas tend to have less people walking around.{{book ref|wb|17}} Since Hallandren has no nobility these houses are likely owned by merchants.{{book ref|wb|17}}{{book ref|wb|4}} The flora in these districts is described as being incredibly diverse.{{book ref|wb|17}} Dozens of different species of palms, ferns, grasses, and potted flowers, including the [[Tears of Edgli]], can be found in the gardens of the houses and on the streets.{{book ref|wb|17}}{{book ref|wb|25}} Like in most of the city there are many [[D'Denir]] statues located in these districts.{{book ref|wb|25}}
Almost none of the roads in the city are made of anything other then dirt, although most roads have slate sidewalks for people to walk upon,{{book ref|wb|17}} and the streets are lined with lanterns.{{book ref|wb|25}} The people tend to stay on the sidewalks because carriages are common.{{book ref|wb|25}} 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 commercial areas, there are fewer than in the average shopping district.{{book ref|wb|25}}
=== Slums ===
T'Telir is home to many slums.{{book ref|wb|31}}{{book ref|wb|41}}{{book ref|wb|39}} While there are different varieties of slums, they generally have a couple characteristics. Like the rest of T'Telir most of the slums are colourful,{{book ref|wb|22}} even though the colors are a little faded.{{book ref|wb|22}} The slums also contain parks like the rest of the city,{{book ref|wb|31}} although these are very dirty, like the slums themselves.{{book ref|wb|31}} The D’Denir statues that decorate much of T'Telir are in various states of disrepair in the slums.{{book ref|wb|22}} There are soup kitchens which provide very cheap meals, food being available for only two bits.{{book ref|wb|41}}
The best known slum in T'Telir is the Highlands, the [[Idris|Idrian]] quarter.{{book ref|wb|31}} The Highlands are located in the north of the city, and most Idrians live here. The Highlands are less colourful then the rest of T’Telir,{{book ref|wb|31}} although there are still many colors.{{book ref|wb|31}} This slum is ruled by three slumlords, [[Paxen]],{{book ref|wb|31}} [[Ashu]]{{book ref|wb|31}} and [[Rira]].{{book ref|wb|31}} Furthermore there are many brothels,{{book ref|wb|31}} most only a short distance away from the edge of the Highlands.{{book ref|wb|31}} [[Vivenna]] describes the place as unwelcome.{{book ref|wb|31}}
