Along with the Romans, the Halogai were the only folk known to the Empire who preferred fighting afoot to fighting as cavalry. They typically wielded two-handed axes and wore heavy chainmail armor when fighting. The Halogai had strong notions of honor, and also appeared to believe in a fixed fate or destiny for all men. They would frequently sing in battle, making music strong enough to move even Marcus Scaurus who was thoroughly unmusical. Seafaring Halogai pirates conquered the island province of Kalavria from the Empire of Videssos a few centuries before the arrival of the Romans, turning it into the Duchy of Namdalen.
