While Idrians consider themselves a separate nation from Hallandren, Hallandren considers Idris to be rebel-controlled land still within its borders. This is the main source of tension between the two nations, a tension that is kept in check during the first twenty years of Dedelin's reign by his treaty with Susebron that promises to send one of his daughters to the Court of Gods to marry the God King.{{book ref|wb|1}} According to Bebid, dozens of kingdoms north of Idris do not share Hallandren's belief that Idris is a rebel faction, and these countries would ally with Idris should a war break out, or use the opportunity to seize control of [[T'Telir]].{{book ref|wb|5}} Because King Dedelin fears war
== Culture ==
Idrians consider the Hallandren gods to be strange and their religion to be untrue. Though [[Rambleman|Ramblemen]] come through and tell the Idrians of the outside world, many Idrians hold false ideas of the horrors of Hallandren and tell stories of horrible rituals they supposedly carry out there.{{book ref|wb|4}} Although the people of Idris can also become [[Returned]], this is a rare occurrence. The people of Idris, unlike those in Hallandren, refuse to provide any Returned with [[Breath]], causing them to die at the end of the week.{{book ref|wb|4}}

Idris has few exports of note. The kingdom gains most of its income from tariffs on four main trade passes that it controls. These trade passes are extremely important to [[Hallandren]], as they are the kingdom's only reliable method of passage to the north. Idris must be careful with the tariffs it charges on goods that pass through these trade routes, as raising them too high would upset the countries that use their routes and could be cause for war.{{book ref|wb|5}}
Commerce in Idris is not particularly robust at the time of the [[Pahn Kahl rebellion]]. Due to this, many struggling Idrians find themselves traveling south to Hallandren for work to support their families.{{book ref|wb|9}} Farming is difficult in the snowy mountain range of Idris and farmland is owned and levied by the kingdom, not by the farmers themselves. Thus, struggling farmers cannot rent or sell land if their crop yield is low, forcing them to find work elsewhere.{{book ref|wb|28}}
Idris has disaster relief funds, and one can petition the king in the case of disaster. A major flaw with this program is that it requires travel to Bevalis, which can take several weeks. Thus it is more practical to seek work in Hallandren, which is not far from lower farms in southern Idris. This is often a better alternative to taking a long trek through snowy mountains, likely with minimal supplies due to the disaster, to petition the king for assistance.{{book ref|wb|28}}
=== Bevalis ===
The capital of Idris is the city of '''Bevalis'''. Its roads are unpaved, and its houses are stone-walled, thatched cottages. The royal palace, which serves as a meeting place and a center of operations for the kingdom, is a single-story building with a courtyard of packed dirt; it is, however, large enough to be considered almost "flamboyant."{{book ref|wb|1}} Bevalis is a small city in comparison with the capitals of other nations on Nalthis, with a population of around a few thousand.{{book ref|wb|9}}
