Also known as Var
In Norse mythology, Vár or Vór (Old Norse, meaning either "pledge" or "beloved") is a goddess associated with oaths and agreements. Vár is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources; the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson; and kennings found in skaldic poetry and a runic inscription. Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the goddess.

華爾,(Vár,Var)北歐神話中的女神,掌管誓言。她是女神弗麗嘉(Frigg)的侍女之一。一般皆認為,這些低階女神都是她部份性格的化身。她是名字是「誓約」的意思,不論諸神、巨人等凡是發誓時都會呼喊華爾之名,尤其是男女之間的婚姻誓約。若違反以她之名立下的誓言,就會被華爾報復。
