Proposed Canon

Haffaton is a side involved in conflict with Goodminton around the time when Wanda popped. Haffaton is unallied at the time,^{IPTSF Text 6} but later gets Frenemy and Quisling as allies.^{IPTSF Text 26}

Haffaton's livery is "black with white trim".^{IPTSF Text 7}

Known Cities

• Capital City of Haffaton, level 5 ^{IPTSF Text 14}
• another level 5 city ^{IPTSF Text 14}
• Kiloton, level 4, Haffaton's second-largest production center ^{IPTSF Text 11}
• Plankton, level 2

Haffaton held the following cities before Goodminton captured them:

• Goodfinger, which originally belonged to Goodminton
• Frankburg
• Hamfurter

Inhabitants

• Olive Branch, Florist
• Larry Ansell, Warlord
• According to Overlord Firebaugh, Goodminton has faced Foolamancy, Thinkamancy, Hat Magic, Wierdamancy and Carnymancy in its fight against Haffaton (in addition to Olive Branch's Flower Power). As most casters are unable to cast outside of their discipline, this likely indicates that Haffaton has a sizeable number of casters.

Known units

• Firemen ^{IPTSF Text 6}
• Copycat ^{IPTSF Text 7}
• Roastbeast ^{IPTSF Text 7}

Real World References

The name Haffaton may refer to halftone - "technique that simulates continuous tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size, in shape or in spacing". This technique is used in printing photographic images - usually black-and-white - in newspapers (which may explain Haffaton's black and white livery).

Haffaton may also refer to the expression "half a ton" or "half ton" (roughly equal to 1000 pounds).

Another possible interpretation would be the expression "(to) have a ton", as in "I have a ton of units".
