▲=== Bevalis ===
}}
Idris is home to the Idrian people. It is unknown if Idris contains any other peoples.{{book ref|wb|1}}
The perfect Idrian is not timid or soft, like some noblewomen from the northern kingdoms, but composed, simple, hard, and capable. The Idrians are taught to be reserved from a young age and to avoid shameful outbursts of emotion.{{book ref|wb|1}}
=== Fashion and beauty ===
Idrians tend to dress in a way that avoides attention, in line with their [[Austrism|religion]]. Hair is often contained modestly. Idrians never wear make-up.{{book ref|wb|1}}
Clothing is drab, bleached grey or white. Some clothes are also brown, although this borders on being to colorful.{{book ref|wb|1}}
Clothing is typically very covering.{{book ref|wb|9}} Most women wear clothing that covers even the neck. Trousers are not found to be modest.{{book ref|wb|28}} These clothes are often made out of wool.{{book ref|wb|1}} The Idrians don’t use silk for clothing.{{book ref|wb|6}} Some Idrians wear gloves when they are working.{{book ref|wb|2}}
=== Biochroma ===
==== Breath ====
The Idrians consider their breath to be intimately linked to their soul. For that reason they are afraid of losing their Breath, and consider holding the [[Breath]]s of others to be sinful. Using them to [[Awakening|Awaken]] is considered to be an even greater sin.{{book ref|wb|13}}
==== Returned ====
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 the Returned with [[Breath]], causing them to die at the end of the week.{{book ref|wb|4}} It is unknown if this affects their ‘mission’.
=== Architecture ===
Idris is drab and relatively devoid of color, reflecting the Idrian people's aversion to any display of "ostentation" in their way of living. Stone walls are whitewashed etc.{{book ref|wb|1}}
Most buildings are single-storied and are squat.{{book ref|wb|1}} Idrian homes are fairly small, with a normal Hallandren home being considered a mansion.{{book ref|wb|17}} The Idrians also use thatch for their roofs.{{book ref|wb|1}}
=== Cuisine ===
The Idrian people enjoy a wide variety of foods. Known vegetables include cucumbers, onions and something that looks like grass. They also eat flowers and berries, a known type of eatable flower is the Vanavel.{{book ref|wb|1}}
Idrians also eat meat, although they primarily subsist on vegetables. They don’t eat fish, and many Idrians find it distasteful.{{book ref|wb|9}}
