Halveron

Halveron is the patron of halflings, and he appears in nearly all imagery as a halfling -- small, practical, and considerably more dangerous than he looks. His theology has one absolute: slavery in all its forms is wrong, without exception, without gradation, and without circumstance in which it becomes acceptable. This is the most uncompromising ethical position in the Kyrell pantheon, and Halveron's followers are trained to hold it without flinching.

The conduct requirements for his priests are strict in a specific way: they may not use threats or intimidation to achieve their goals. This is not pacifism -- Halveron's followers fight, and they fight hard -- but it is a recognition that the methods of liberation must not become the methods of oppression. A Halveron priest who wins through fear has already lost something important.

His symbol is broken chains. It is the simplest symbol in the pantheon and the most immediately legible. Anyone who sees it knows what it means, which is deliberate. Halveron has no interest in theology that requires explanation to the people it is supposed to serve.
