As the capital of Idris Bevalis contains the royal palace.[1] This palace serves as a meeting place and center of operations for the kingdom.[1] The palace also serves as the living quarters of the Idrian Royal Family.[3]

The Palace has two known entrances, the front entrance, and the back entrance, which leads to the palace kitchens. The palace also contains the royal stables, which are connected to a large courtyard of packed dirt.[1] This courtyard has a gate leading to the outside.[1]
There are often large crowds of haggling people near the front entrance. The palace also employs multiple stableboys and cooks. The palace is large enough to almost be considered flamboyant, although this can be forgiven as it functions as a meeting hall. [1]

A little over three hundred years after the Manywar General Yarda visited Bevalis carrying a bright pink letter. This letter said that the Idrians were expected to send a princess to Hallandren to be married to the God King.[1]
A short time after this King Dedelin decided to send his youngest daughter, Sisirinah, to Hallandren.[1] With her he sent a number of soldiers, a steward and a few serving boys, as well as the kingdom’s nicest carriage.[3]
