Overview | Approval | Banter | Location Remarks | Romance |
Halsin is devoted to protect nature order in any possible way.
Halsin approves any choices that help and defend any living being, considering them a part of nature. He also approves of showing compassion and mercy for those in need. However, should nature protection demand a battle, Halsin is not above avoiding it, and appreciates fighting in the name of justice.
Halsin dislikes any decisions that might involve hurting the natural world, including unnecessary cruelties or kills. Leaving intact or letting thrive things that already defile the nature in any possible way (like supporting the existence and corruption of the shadow lands) also upsets him. Finally, Halsin despises any acts of injustice or betrayal, more so if they are meant to bring profit.
The actions and choices listed on this page raise or lower Halsin's Approval.
