|We are Iriali, and part of the Long Trail, of which this is the Fourth Land. … Eventually, all will be gathered back in—when the Seventh Land is attained—and we will once again become One.
== History ==
The Iriali are not native to [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|1516}} They believe that they are part of something they call the "Long Trail,"
During the [[True Desolation]], [[Dalinar Kholin]] approached the monarchs of Iri
== Politics ==
The Iriali are ruled by a triumvirate of rulers. The gender of the ruler is apparently unimportant, though currently they are ruled by two kings and a queen. The Queen currently has responsibilities over foreign policy.{{book ref|sa3|16}}
== Foreign Policy ==
=== Rira ===
The nation of Iri claims authority over their "sister nation" of Rira, but Rira disputes that claim.{{book ref|sa3|16}} Despite this, Iri does ultimately hold sway over Rira.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|16}} The Iriali desire to strike eastward and take over Iri.{{book ref|sa3|27}}
== Culture ==
The [[Iriali]] have metallic golden-blond skin and hair that breeds true.{{book ref|sa1|i|5}}{{book ref|sa2|i|2}} Many [[Alethi]] consider a lock of the golden hair of the Iriali to be good luck.{{book ref|sa1|18}} The Iriali are particular about chastity laws, and dislike public nudity.{{book ref|twok|i|5}} The men often wear only waist wraps on warmer days. The Iriali also paint their skin with colors and patterns. The Iriali tend to be less quarrelsome and prudish than the [[Vorin]] nations. They mostly have yellow eyes.{{book ref|sa2|20}}
Iri has no [[Soulcaster]]s.{{book ref|sa3|19}}
The religion is at least somewhat related to the [[Shattering]] of [[Adonalsium]] with its philosophy of one becoming many.{{wob ref|14397}}
The Iriali religion involves somehow reading portents of the future in the waves of the ocean.
The philosophy behind the One is that the [[Spiritual Realm]] and the [[Beyond]] are the same thing. When a person dies, their soul rejoins the [[Investiture]] of the Spiritual Realm. Most [[cosmere]] philosophers disagree with this belief.{{wob ref|1729}}
