While Idrians consider themselves a separate nation from Hallandren, Hallandren considers Idris to be rebel-controlled land still within its borders. This is the main source of tension between the two nations, a tension that is kept in check during the first twenty years of Dedelin's reign by his treaty with Susebron that promises to send one of his daughters to the Court of Gods to marry the God King.{{book ref|wb|1}} According to Bebid, dozens of kingdoms north of Idris do not share Hallandren's belief that Idris is a rebel faction, and these countries would ally with Idris should a war break out, or use the opportunity to seize control of [[T'Telir]].{{book ref|wb|5}} Because King Dedelin fears war, he establishes Lemex as the head of his spy network in T'Telir and closely monitors the information Lemex sends.{{book ref|wb|9}} Idris' armies are harried by Vendis raids and are no match in general for the Lifeless army of Hallandren, and [[Vahr]]'s failed rebellion has renewed Hallandren's focus on its enemies. Due to these factors, General [[Yarda]] advises Dedelin to do what they must to delay war at least until winter, when heavy snows can be another of their allies; Dedelin decides to send Siri to fulfill the treaty and stall the process of war for a little longer. In the meantime, Yarda discusses riling up the remnants of Vahr's rebels and approaching [[Tedradel]] about gaining their support.{{book ref|wb|1}}
Hallandren and [[Idris]] have bad relations with each other. This is due to a number of reasons.
Idris and Hallandren used to be the same country, although at the conclusion of the [[Manywar]] they split.{{book ref|wb|32}} The Idrians view this event as the Hallandren rebelling against them, turning into pagans by worshipping the [[Returned]]. In turn the Hallandren view the Idrians as rebels. Due to this Hallandren claims the Idrian mountains as their own territory, further provoking hostilities.{{book ref|wb|16}}
The Idrian religion of [[Austrism]] teaches against many things done or used in Hallandren such as ostentation, [[lifeless]] and [[awakening]].{{book ref|wb|1}}{{book ref|wb|9}} This makes the Idrians believe that the Hallandren are terrible, as they do everything their religions preaches against. The Idrians also view the Iridescent Tones as heresy, thinking of the Hallandren as pagans. This further provokes hostilities.{{book ref|wb|2}}
The Idrians have many false views of Hallandren, this is because of, among others, false stories told by ramblemen.{{book ref|wb|1}}
==== Tedradel ====
[[Tedradel]] has good relations with Idris.{{book ref|wb|1}} The General of the Idrian army, [[Yarda]], considers it possible that Tedradel would aid Idris if Hallandren attacked them.{{book ref|wb|1}}
These nations also have many similarities, such as in fashion, with both nations preferring covering clothing.{{book ref|wb|25}}
==== The Northern Kingdoms ====
There are dozens of kingdoms north of Idris that do not share Hallandren's belief that Idris is a rebel faction, and these countries would ally with Idris should a war break out, or use the opportunity to seize control of [[T'Telir]].{{book ref|wb|5}}
==== Vendis ====
It is currrently unknown who or what the Vendis are. They are in a state of war with Idris however, constantly raiding them. They are still doing this around the year 327 of the Hallandren calendar.{{book ref|wb|1}}
