T'Telir is the capital city of Hallandren on Nalthis.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content It is set on its coast and is known for its blaze of color because of the dyes grown in the area.
T'Telir is home to the Returned. The God King rules it officially, although his priests were the ones to make most of the decisions for him, up until the Pahn Kahl rebellion, since which Susebron reigns with his wife Siri.
The Idrian misconception of T'Telir is that it is a city of horrors, as Siri shows when being led to the gates:
“The city walls were next; they were immense and daunting, yet they almost looked more articstic than functional. The wall's top was curved in massive half-circles, like rolling hills, and the rim was plated with a golden metal. The gates themselves were in the form of two twisting, lithe sea creatures who curved up in a massive archway. Siri passed through them, and the guard of Hallandren cavalrymen - who appeared to be living men - accompanied her. She had always thought of Hallandren as a place of death. Her impressions were based on stories told by passing ramblemen or by old women at the winter hearth. They spoke of city walls built from skulls, then painted with sloppy, ugly streaks of color. She's imagined the buildings inside with different clashing hues. Obscene.”

T'Telir is also a very wealthy city compared to Bevalis, the capital city of Idris. It is noted by Vasher that T'Telir is one of the only places with enough wealthy people to support restaurants.
