Hallandren's society places value in athleticism. Duels for sport are common enough that someone talented with a blade could gain a wealth of prizes, notable fame, and a sizable following of students in their lifetime.{{book ref|wb|25}} The Court of Hallandren's arena is often used as a location for athletic individuals to engage in contests of physical prowess. Some arena competitions mentioned are shot put, javelin toss, archery, leaping contests, and races.{{book ref|wb|27}} However, special accolades are not given to the winner, but to all the contestants, for possessing the physical prowess required to participate.
== Economics ==
When Hallandren was still known as Hanald, the kingdom had little of note economically, until the [[Tears of Edgli]] were found. These flowers quickly turned the country into an economic powerhouse. T'Telir's location on the [[Bright Sea]] made it easy to access Hallandren textiles and dyes, which quickly turned the city of T'Telir into a prime port and a center of trade for all kingdoms in Nalthis. {{book ref|wb|9}}
While the Bright Sea's trade routes are a boon to Hallandren, they only connect Hallandren to the southern kingdoms, which do not provide nearly enough income for the kingdom as a whole. For Hallandren to thrive, it needs access to trade routes to the northern kingdoms, which are monopolized by [[Idris]]. Bebid postulates that a drawn out war with Idris would cut off their primary trade routes and would lead to "full economic collapse." {{book ref|wb|5}}
