Government[edit]
Monarchy[edit]
Tedradel is a kingdom, and as such it is ruled by a monarch.[1]
Foreign Policy and International Relationships[edit]
Hallandren[edit]
Tedradel’s opinion of Hallandren hasn’t improved much since the Manywar, which saw Hanald, the predecessor of Hallandren, and Tedradel go to war with each other[1][3] Their opinion of Hallandren is low enough that Yarda considers it possible that Tedradel would go to war with Hallandren again, should Idris be attacked.[3]
Tedradel still has many traders in T’Telir,[4] and likely other Hallandren cities as well.
Idris[edit]
Tedradel has good relations with Idris.[3] These nations also have many similarities, such as in fashion, with both nations preferring covering clothing.[2]
Culture[edit]
People[edit]
The people of Tedradel have brown skin, and they often have long black beards tied into a cylindrical shape with a leather cord.[2]
Fashion[edit]
Tedradel fashion is similar to Idrian fashion, with dresses being long, covering everything from the ankle to the neck.[2] There is a type of dress sold in Hallandren that is tube-like and tightly fitted.[2]
Economy[edit]
Tedradel lies on the shores of the Bright Sea, as such they have access to its trade routes.[2][4] They have many traders in Hallandren.[4]
It is possible that they also export fine pottery, as some is to be found in Hallandren that comes from across the Bright Sea, where Tedradel was located.[5]
History[edit]
Establishment[edit]
Tedradel was established at an unknown date before the Manywar.[1]
Tensions with Hanald[edit]
A little more then three hundred years before the Pahn Kahl rebellion, a short time before the Manywar, tensions with Hanald were at an all time high.[1] This was because of two main reasons.
Hanald had a monopoly on the dye trade, which, at the time, was one of the most profitable trades.[1] Other kingdoms, including Tedradel, wished to profit from this trade as well, but Hanald didn’t allow them to.[1]
Hanald also turned its attention to the relatively new art of Awakening.[1] During this time they gained powerful awakeners and Lifeless, which other kingdoms didn’t have.[1] Many different discoveries were made during this time, including the command to make Lifeless with a single breath and Ichor-alcohol. These discoveries allowed nations to build far larger and cheaper armies,[1] and become far more powerful, raising tensions even higher.
At some point, one of the Returned in Hanald had a vision of war.[1] This ended up being the catalyst for a war, as it prompted Strifelover to strike preemptively against the other nations.[1]
The Manywar[edit]
Soon after Kuth and Huth were attacked, Tedradel was dragged into the war, opposing Hanald.[3] It is unknown if they joined the Pahn Unity, although they did fight on the same side.[3] sometime after the destruction of Kuth and Huth Strifelover withdrew his phantoms, taking back control of his own kingdom. He then made peace with the remaining kingdoms, including Tedradel.[1] However, since the Manywar, Tedradel's hatred and animosity towards Hallandren has not lessened greatly.[3]
