Halina is worshiped by farmers, who believe she blesses their crop with a healthy growth each year. She is also worshiped by pregnant and conceiving couples, and midwives. Halina is believed to appear as a farmer, sometimes pregnant, usually carrying wheat or some other crop.
Followers of Halina teach that the creation of life in any form is precious and something to be celebrated. They teach that all things have their place in life, as the life and eventual death of many plants leads to a longer healthy life in other creatures. While not pacifists, followers of Halina strongly oppose the unnecessary killing of any creature. They often make the most out of animals used for food, making sure no part goes to waste, and no more are killed than necessary.
Halina�s worshipers often pray for her blessings before planting a crop by burning one seed of each crop planted, and throw a celebratory festival after the harvest (One of the most well known festivals is held at the town of Covington, a town about 7 days south west of Orussus just off the river Grellgo). Couples and midwives will often light a white candle in the name of Halina.
Some legends purport Halina being the mother to both Verdante and Ulura, with each god taking some small part of Halina's domain from their mother's teachings. Halina is the mother of the Seven Sisters.
