|It was terribly overwhelming. Garish. A vibrant, enthusiastic garishness.
|[[Siri]]'s first impression of T'Telir{{book ref|wb|4}}
}}
'''T'Telir''' is the capital city of [[Hallandren]] on [[Nalthis]].{{book ref|wb|prologue}} It is set on its coast and is known for its blaze of color because of the dyes grown in the area. A person from T'Telir is called a T'Telirite.{{book ref|wb|25}}
 
== Geography ==
 
The city of T'Telir is built in a crescent around a bay of the [[Bright Sea]], abutting the water. This position means the city wall only has to run around the landward half-circle of the city. The city is designed with many open spaces and has palm trees and other flora growing along the streets.{{book ref|wb|4}} Like most of Hallandren, T'Telir is in the lowlands in a tropical climate: the temperature is quite warm, colorful animals and flowers are common, and harsh weather is rare.{{book ref|wb|2}}{{book ref|wb|12}} The [[Court of Gods]] stands on a small plateau that rises above the city with a spectacular view of the sea.{{book ref|wb|4}}
 
{{for|Manywar}}
 
T'Telir was home to the descendants of Vo and his wife; the royal family fled the city at the climax of the war and established the nation of [[Idris]].{{book ref|wb|1}} After the Manywar was resolved, Peacegiver left the city of T'Telir a gift in the form of the D'Denir Celabrin.{{book ref|wb|9}} These statues were ostensibly a reminder to the citizens of the cost of war as well as a memorial for the war's casualties, but in fact they were the force known as [[Kalad's Phantoms]].{{book ref|wb|28}}{{book ref|wb|58}}
 
=== The Plague ===
Two hundred and fifty years later, a plague of distrentia struck T'Telir. The disease was especially deadly among the elderly and the young, and the nature of it meant that it spread other diseases as well. This caused the city's commerce to slow drastically, meaning that outlying villages went months without necessary supplies. In the end, Susebron the Fourth gave his Breath to cure the plague and [[Susebron]] the Fifth began his rule.{{book ref|wb|27}}
 
=== The Pahn Kahl Rebellion ===
{{for|Pahn Kahl rebellion}}
 
ThreeThirty hundredyears into Susebron the Fifth's reign, he signed a treaty with King [[Dedelin]] of [[Idris]] that promised peace in exchange for his marriage to Dedelin's daughter.{{book ref|wb|1}} At the time when the treaty was fulfilled twenty years later, T'Telir was the site of the Pahn Kahl rebellion. First, a Pahn Kahl named [[Vahr]], a worker in the dye fields, made an attempt at stirring up his people.{{book ref|wb|19}} He worked to that end for over a decade but was ultimately captured and imprisoned due to [[Bluefingers]]' information leaks and killed by [[Vasher]].{{wob ref|6020}} Bluefingers himself planned an extensive subversive campaign centered around starting a war between Hallandren and [[Idris]]: he brought mercenaries and Pahn Kahl [[Awakening|Awakeners]] into the tunnel system below the court,{{wob ref|7298}} manipulated [[Siri]] into distrusting the Hallandren priests,{{wob ref|6983}} and hired [[Denth's crew]] to increase tensions in the city.{{wob ref|6723}} When his plans were nearing completion, he tortured [[Blushweaver]] and [[Lightsong]] in order to get the Command phrases for Hallandren's Lifeless army, changed the Command phrase, and sent the army towards Idris.{{book ref|wb|55}} The attempted rebellion was defeated when [[Susebron]], with his newly healed tongue, used [[Peacegiver's Treasure]] to storm his palace with an army of Awakened cloths. [[Vasher]] decided to give him the Command phrase to Kalad's Phantoms, which he then sent after the Lifeless army.{{book ref|wb|ep}}
 
== Culture ==
T'Telir is a very wealthy city compared to [[Bevalis]], the capital city of Idris.{{book ref|wb|9}} The houses in T'Telir are generally much larger and nicer than in Idris,{{book ref|wb|17}} and the city is one of the only places with enough wealthy people to support restaurants.{{book ref|wb|5}} In fact, enterprising young street boys wander the neighborhoods proclaiming their services, willing to deliver food from restaurants right to people's homes for a fee.{{book ref|wb|17}} The food served in T'Telir tends to be spicy, centered around seafood, and seasoned with exotic spices.{{book ref|wb|5}}{{book ref|wb|8}}

People here like to be together, tending to crowd the same streets.{{book ref|wb|17}} They are comfortable with wearing loose, revealing, and few clothes as an effect of the warm climate;{{book ref|wb|25}} their clothes are of all kinds of designs, makes, and colors, all meant to make them stand out, though the overwhelming effect is that no one stands out.{{book ref|wb|14}} Most natives of the city believe in the [[Iridescent Tones]] and worship the Returned.{{book ref|wb|25}} Timepieces are not common,{{book ref|wb|11}} and punctuality is not a high priority in the city, especially among the Returned.{{book ref|wb|14}}▼
|People jostled their way through the streets, draped flagrantly in colors, yelling, and talking, and moving, and stinking, and coughing, and bumping.

== Politics ==
{{quote
T'Telir is the capital of Hallandren and home to the Returned.{{book ref|wb|4}} The [[God King]] rules T'Telir officially and can overrule any decision made by the Court of Gods, although his priests usually make most decisions for him. The Returned are given votes when it comes to big decisions; before casting votes, they listen to their priests debate about the issues in court. Some of the Returned also sit on various councils and vote on other important matters in the city.{{book ref|wb|30}} This method of government, waiting on debates and arguments that must be brought to the gods (who cannot leave the court to be among the people of the city), operates much more slowly than Idris' monarchy.{{book ref|wb|1}}▼
|This goes beyond simple court politics, Vasher—beyond games played between gods... There is a faction of the court pushing to attack Idris.

The King and the rest of the Returned are revered as gods, and those of people who are in trouble, are sick or lame, can go to them to ask for help.{{book ref|wb|12}} The poorer people are also entered into a lottery where they can come and view the gods while they make their decisions.{{book ref|wb|13}}
 
However, during the time of the Pahn Kahl rebellion people are beginning to doubt their gods more and more, seeing them as less divine, weaker, and less wise.{{book ref|wb|16}} Even though Idris has upended the general opinion in the city, which expected them to back out on the treaty with Susebron, there are factionssome in the court pushing for a war with Idris.{{book ref|wb|5}}{{book ref|wb|8}}
