Helm's Hold
Helm's Hold is a town located along the High Road, just south of Neverwinter and on the edge of the Neverwinter Wood.
Recent Events
The Western Shield chased the false prophet Rohini from the Helmite Cathedral, where she was pretending to cure the spellscarred but was actually enslaving them for an unknown purpose. Once they were freed, the spellscarred were settled into the town with the help of the town council. One spellscarred refugee elected to represent them on the council, Nardur was enthralled by a succubus into getting himself nominated for a meeting with the Council of the North, but he was beaten in the vote by Alasara Khallum. This resulted in the succubus attacking the meeting and The Western Shield stepping in to protect the other members of the council. As a reward for their service to the town, The Shield was gifted The Fox and the Hellhound to serve as their base of operations.
