History and Information of Helm

• History and Information of Helm

Helm is known as the 'Vigilant One', the 'Great Guard', and 'The Watcher'. Before the Time of Troubles, Helm was a respected deity. The worship of Helm dropped dramatically in the Northern areas in the advent of the Time of Troubles, since many citizens of Faerun blamed the role Helm played during the Time of Troubles as the root. Suprisingly however, in the South, Helm's following is still strong and has, if anything, grown since that time. Helm's alias as the 'Vigilant One' is given merit by his followers with great enthusiasm as they train often and vigorously so they can rise to the defense when ever that call is signalled. As such Helmites are highly respected and revered throughout Faerun.
