The [[Tears of Edgli]] are a unique resource only available in Hallandren. The flowers produce dyes that work in any cloth and have a very vibrant color. The kingdom used this to their advantage, trading the unique dyes to other kingdoms. A vast mercantile effort combined with the opening of the northern passes made Hallandren rich. They controlled a lucrative region, and this gave them powerful bargaining power.
=== The
Roughly 300 years before the setting of [[Warbreaker]], the [[Manywar]] was started by Hallandren. While accounts differ over the real start of the war, they all revolve around the creation of the single-Breath Lifeless and the other discoveries of the [[Five Scholars]]. [[Vasher|Kalad the Usurper]] took control of Hallandren in some fashion, and started the war for unknown reason. Eventually, [[Vasher|Peacegiver]] stopped the war by bringing [[Kalad's Phantoms]] (which formed the bulk of the army) to take control of the kingdom.
At the conclusion of the Manywar, the Returned were firmly established as the rulers of Hallandren. Furthermore, the royal family (descendants of the first queen) was exiled to [[Idris]]. Peacegiver also gave the first [[God King]] a treasure of fifty thousand Breaths and entrusted his priests to see that it was cared for until he needed it again.
