== Economics ==
=== The Dye Trade ===
When Hallandren was still known as Hanald, the kingdom had little of note economically, until the [[Tears of Edgli]] were found. These flowers quickly turned the country into an economic powerhouse. T'Telir's location on the [[Bright Sea]] made it easy to access Hallandren textiles and dyes, which quickly turned the city of T'Telir into a prime port and a center of trade for all kingdoms in Nalthis.{{book ref|wb|9}}
Hallandren’s main source of income are the dyes made from the [[Tears of Edgli]].{{book ref|wb|32}} These flowers can only be grown in Hallandren, and as such the Hallandren people have a monopoly on them. The Tears of Edgli make excellent dyes, and are far cheaper to produce then other dyes.{{book ref|wb|32}}For these reasons, as well as their use in awakening, they are very desired, far more so then other dyes.{{book ref|wb|32}}
 
=== Trade Routes ===
While the Bright Sea's trade routes are a boon to Hallandren, they only connect Hallandren to the southern kingdoms, which do not provide nearly enough income for the kingdom as a whole. For Hallandren to thrive, it needs access to trade routes to the northern kingdoms, which are monopolized by [[Idris]]. Bebid postulates that a drawn out war with Idris would cut off their primary trade routes and would lead to "full economic collapse."{{book ref|wb|5}}
