“If we send her, Yarda, we send her to her death. ”
—Dedelin[2]
Dedelin is the king of Idris on Nalthis.[2]
Appearance and Personality
“I didn't do it based on personal preference, no matter what people may think. I did what will be best for Idris when this war comes. ”
Described as old,[4] Dedelin wears simple austere clothing despite being the King of Idris. He has the Royal Locks, but usually keeps his hair black, though his control of his emotions is imperfect and sometimes a tinge of the red of anger or the white of fear will appear.[2]
He is an astute ruler and capable of putting the good of his kingdom before his own personal wishes as shown by his sending his daughter to honor the treaty with Hallandren. He is also shown to be thoughtful and decisive as he ponders over the political and military implications and seeks council, but once his mind is made up he acts decisively and cannot be persuaded to renege on his position. However he is also a man of passion, controlled passion, but passion nonetheless as seen in his streaks of red anger and the way he allows his love of Vivenna to dictate his response to the treaty.[2]
He worships Austre, God of Colors and considers the God King and the other Returned abominations. In accordance with these beliefs he considers the owning of Breath other than your own and Awakening wrong.[2]
History
More than twenty years before the events of the Pahn Kahl rebellion, Dedelin made a treaty with the Hallandren Court to keep it from invading Idris.

But although she was raised, educated, and trained for this purpose, he could not bring himself to let her go and decided to send Siri instead.[2]
