Perhaps to compensate for their small stature, many halflings - particularly males - ascribe to varao, a loosely defined code of machismo. Halflings project an air of confidence and opinion and refuse to submit to big ‘uns.
At its best, varao inspires its practitioners to protect the vulnerable, keep their word and refuse cowardly compromise. At its worst, it leads to belligerence, sexism and stubbornness.
Connections:
Valderama Bolger has claimed publicly to be the living embodiment of varao in the Shrouded Lands.
