Idris
Idris is a country just beyond Hallandren. The capital is the small city of Bevalis, which is built with dirt roads and stonewalled thatch cottages.
Description and Culture
Idris is described as a drab and relatively devoid of color to reflect the Idrian people's devotion to an unostentatious way of life. Stone walls are whitewashed, and clothing is kept a dull grey or tan as a superstition to prevent Awakeners from using colors to fuel their magic. The kingdom is mostly rural, with most people working as shepherds or farmers. The royal palace is a single-story building with a courtyard of packed dirt.
From a young age, children are taught to worship Austre, god of colors, by being as unostentatious as possible. Idrians consider outbursts of emotion to be ostentatious and unseemly.
History
Idris was formed when the royal family was rejected by the people in favor of being ruled by the Returned and fled to the mountains for safety.
