Difference between revisions of "Idris"

Idris is drab and relatively devoid of color, reflecting 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. Most people believe in [[Austre]], and it is a custom that all families should send at least one child to work in the monastaries. They considere the [[Hallandren]] gods to be strange and their religion to be untrue; many tell stories of horrible rituals they carry out there. Although the people of Idris couldcan also become [[Returned]], this is a rare occurrence; as the people wouldof notIdris, giveunlike themthose ain supplyHallandren, ofwill [[Breath]]not asprovide thea peopleReturned ofwith Hallandren doBreath, theyleading wouldto alwaysthem diedying againat afterthe aend of the week.

They have a monarchal system of government and, at the time of [[Warbreaker]], are ruled by King [[Dedelin]]. Those in the royal family who rule or are potential heirs have the [[Royal Locks]]. The Royal Locks are hereditary hair that can change colourcolor according to that person's emotional state, though they can also change the color at will or suppress changes in color with training and discipline. Those with the Royal Locks can also grow them when they want to, but this tires them as if they were using a physical muscle. The Royal family in Idris usually keeps their hair black or brown, as other colourscolors such as red or yellow are considered ostentatious.
