Etymology
Halone is likely based on the Greek goddess Athena, goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason, identified by the Romans with Minerva. Athena was regarded as the patron and protectress of various cities across Greece, particularly the city of Athens, from which she most likely received her name. In Greek mythology, Athena was believed to have been born from the forehead of her father Zeus. Zeus had many children, and Athena's siblings include: Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hermes, and Dionysus. Athena was Zeus' favorite child. In art and literature, Athena is usually depicted as a majestic lady, with a beautiful, but stern face, unsmiling full lips, grey eyes and a graceful build, emanating power and authority. She is always regally clad in either a chiton or a full armor. In the former case, she is sometimes represented with a spindle. In the latter case, she wears an elaborately crested Corinthian helmet and holds a long spear in one hand and an aegis in the other. Halone's statues in Ishgard reseble the one of Athena.

Halone's holy symbol of three spears may additionally refer to the Three Great Spears of Japan (said to be the greatest spears under heaven) which go by the names Tonbogiri, Otegine, and Nihongo.

Worship of Halone by the Ishgardian Orthodox Church shares similarities with Roman Catholicism including Halonic rosaries and feast days.

Notes
  • Information in pre-release versions of FFXIV associated Halone with the 5th month of the Eorzean calendar.
  • The Ishgardian Orthodox Church is dedicated solely to the worship of the Fury as matron deity of Ishgard.
  • Halone Gerbera is a plant said to be beloved of the goddess.
  • Something or someone pertaining to Halone is referred to as "Halonic".
  • The mark of Halone is located at the Fury's Gaze in Coerthas Central Highlands. Before the Calamity, it was found on a location by the same name, but located west of the now-destroyed Camp Riversmeet.
