Other Information

Helm, also known as the Watcher or the Vigilant One, is a lawful neutral intermediate deity of guardians, protectors and protection.

During the Time of Troubles Helm was the only god to not be cast down on Toril. Instead Lord Ao entrusted him with keeping the other gods from returning to their divine realms before having found the Tablets of Fate. When the goddess of magic Mystra tried to return, Helm slew her. She was reincarnated shortly after in the body of the then-mortal mage Midnight, but Helm came to be disliked by mortal races for his actions. 

The Watcher's Keep was built in his name.
