Idris was a country just beyond Hallandren on Nalthis.
Description and Culture
Idris was drab and relatively devoid of color to reflect the Idrian people's devotion to an unostentatious way of life. Stone walls were whitewashed, and clothing was kept a dull grey or tan as a superstition to prevent Awakeners from using colors to fuel their magic. The kingdom was mostly rural, with most people working as shepherds or farmers.
Bevalis
The capital of Idris was the city of Bevalis. Its roads were unpaved and its houses were stonewalled thatch cottages. The royal palace was a single-story building with a courtyard of packed dirt.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content It is a small city in comparison to others in Nalthis, with a population number of around a few thousand.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content
From a young age, children were taught to worship Austre, god of colors, by being as unostentatious as possible. Idrians considered outbursts of emotion to be ostentatious and unseemly.
History
Idris was formed when the royal family was rejected by the people of Hallandren in favor of being ruled by the Returned and fled to the mountains for safety.
