Helmites have long been respected and revered for their dedication and purpose,
and their pledge to come to the defense of those who call for it. They wear
polished full suits of armor often with plumed helmets. Their hierarchy is
strict and militaristic.
Helmite clergy believe they can win back the rightful power of Helm only
through demonstrated excellence of vigilance and purity of loyalty in
their roles as guardians and protectors. They have set about trying to
train bodyguards everywhere.
"Never betray your trust" is the guiding phrase for faithful of Helm. This
philosophy extends to thinking about how best to guard and protect, both
in terms of weapons and the deployment of guardians, and to anticipating
what attacks may come and having a practiced plan ready to deal with such
threats. The faithful and the priests of Helm train and exercise so as to
always be able to carry out their duties as best they can.
Helmites always obey orders, provided those orders follow the dictates of Helm.
The thought of commanding undead rather than turning them or destroying them is
abhorrent to Helm, and so his clergy are not allowed to do so and would never
dream of trying.
