  • Regarding Helm - Request for Info

    Short post and quick question.

    Right now, the only knowledge I have in regards to Helm is that short little passage in my Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting. Logically I would like to know more in regards to the god in question as the Vigilant Eye is about to really dedicate itself to the patron, his portfolio and dogma.

    So my question is if any of you know any websites or the like that might be able to impart me with more detailed information in regards to the god in question.

    Your help is appreciated, thank you!

          That info is AD&D, tho, so it might not be completely reliable on things like alignments and allowances or up-to-date on story

            Helm:The Watcher, the Vigilant One
            Symbol:Staring eye with blue pupil on a upright war gauntlet
            Home Plane:House of the Triad
            Alignment:Lawful Neutral
            Portfolio:Guardians, protectors, protection
            Worshipers:Explorers, fighters, guards, mercenaries, paladins
            Favored Weapon:"Ever Watchful" (bastard sword)
            Cleric Alignments:LE, LG, LN, TN

            History/Relationships:
            Helm has always borne a heavy load, symbolized by his omnipresent suit of armor. As the eternal sentry, he knows that the end of the world will inevitably come on his watch. Nevertheless, he serves without complaint, willing to make any sacrifice to protect his charge. Thus, Helm is implacable opposed to the machinations of Bane, Cyric, and Shar, whose insidious plots eternally threaten Faerun. He also fights the unbridled fury and destructive impulses of Garagos and Talos at every turn. Helm is not amused by Masks thievery or his jests, viewing the Lord of Shadows as simply another threat to be defeated. Of the good-aligned deities, only Torm truly understands Helm's unbending commitment to his charge. Relations between the Loyal Fury and the Vigilant One are strong, enough so that the two churches have grudgingly begun to heal the rift between them, at the command of their respective deities.

            Dogma:
            Never betray your trust. Be vigilant. Stand, wait, and watch carefully. Be fair and diligent in the conduct of your orders. Protect the weak, poor, injured, and young, and do not sacrifice them for others or yourself. Anticipate attacks and be ready. Know your foes. Care for your weapons so they may perform their duties when called upon. Careful planning always defeats rushed actions in the end. Always obey orders, providing those orders follow the dictates of Helm. Demonstrate excellence and purity of loyalty in your role as a guardian and protector.

              oh, also, wikpedia sometimes gives out wrong information.. like for Sune it says that the highest priest is a heartwarder, and its pretty much telling you theres only one heartwarder, while the link I have tells me there can be several.

                A heartwarder is what Sune's priestesses are called.

                i.e. Firewalker of Kossuth, Stormlord of Talos, Seeker of Mask.

                    Clerics of most gods have a special title they're referred to as respectfully.

                    There's also a Heartwarder prestige class.

                        Halfling gods don't give out silly titles apparently!

                        Avatar is a pretty good indication of what Thom looks like on a bad day.
