In this post, we will discuss Helm, The God Of Protection, his symbolism, appearance, and how it relates to the D&D helm and “helm 5e” in the Forgotten Realms deity lore.
Helm is most often misattributed as the God Of War. People are taught about Helm in history books and are told that he is a warrior, but he is actually a protector. He helps people to feel safe and protected. Many gods in D&D help to protect the world. One of them is Helm.
The name of the god, Helm, has a very interesting story. It comes from the words ‘helm’ and ‘helmed’. The word ‘helmed’ means protected or defended. The name is derived from his job to protect people. Helm is always represented by a helmet with a big open eye.
“All Seeing Eye” is upon an upright war gauntlet, which is a symbol of the helm(protector). Helm, the god of protection, is also a symbol of strength and security. People believed that the symbol of the helm would protect them from bad incidents and enemies during war.
Therefore, the symbol was used as an important part of the magical amulet as well as a sign of victory. The amulet was worn to protect the wearer from harm and to grant them magical powers. For this reason, it was sometimes worn by warriors.
This symbol is often depicted on armor and other articles of clothing, especially those made of metal. A metal helm is, of course, a type of protective headwear, typically worn by soldiers, knights, and other armored personnel. The metal helm is typically a small circular disk that covers the entire head of the wearer. Sometimes it is shaped like a half-circle.
Some Forgotten Realms fans suggest that Helm, the God of Protection in Forgotten Realms D&D 5e lore has been inspired by Aegishjalmur, The Helm of Awe and Viking Symbol of Protection.
Who is Helm, the God of Protection?
The God of Protection, Helm (pronounced HELM), is a guardian of many things and is also known as “Vigilant One”, and “Great Guard”. He is often called “The Watcher”(bastard sword) because he watches over the world and protects it from danger.
He is also known as the god of guardians, protectors and paladins. He is a very wise, powerful god and also has divine power. The people of the forgotten realms widely admired him to be a humble and reassuring God.
In a July 2017 Twitter Post, legendary Forgotten Realms creator, Ed Greenwood stated his reason for creating Helm with the attributes he has:
“Many of the gods have god-sized hubris and foibles. I wanted a staunch, true, ever vigilant guardian, who I saw as a taciturn watcher in full armor. From that sprang his name: Helm, being as his head was encased in one that’s what most others saw of him, as they tried to peer at his face and read his mood. As for being the best deity ever: that opinion depends on the deity or the mortal holding it. ;}”
He is worshiped by both the guards and the paladins. His reputation among Paladins is at the highest level possible.
Guards and paladins are always seen as allies but Helm is seen as the greatest focused deity, defender, and enforcer. He’s more tolerant of children’s minor transgressions than anyone else. Helm is thought to give his life to protect something.
The Time of Troubles was a good place for Helm to serve his duty, but he played a role in keeping the other deities away from Faerun. The people of Faern looked at the supreme watcher in a different way because of his activities in the Troubles.
During the Viking Era, the church was a bastion of stability and safety in the often violent north. They were honored for their dedication to defending civilization against the dangers of the monsters of the depths and the wild.
What is a Helm?
The helm is a symbol of the god of protection, and his symbols are the helmet and the shield. A helm also is an item of armor worn by many of the gods.
It protects the head and neck, and the wearer can use it to deflect blows and even turn them back on the attacker. When worn, the helm gives the wearer the ability to see all around them, as well as to hear what is going on around them.
The helm is often the god’s symbol, but it can be a symbol of a temple or a city. It can also be a symbol of a person.
The helm can be found in the divine libraries of the gods. If you worship Helm, the god of protection, you will want to do your best to serve him. This means that you will have to put your own happiness aside to carry out his wishes.
This is an important part of being a worshiper of Helm. You will also have to put yourself in danger because that is what Helm expects from his followers. You are required to give up everything for the good of your religion. You should always put others first and do whatever it takes to help them.
What is the Symbol of the Helm?
The helm is a symbol of protection and guardianship, but it is also a symbol of the gods’ judgment. Helm’s symbol is a staring wide-open eye and is often found on left gauntlets worn by his devotees.
To mortals, Helm only appears wearing a full suit of armor, representing the weight of his heavy responsibilities.
God Helm has always carried a heavy load, symbolized by his suit of armor. He knows that the end of the world will come on his watch as the eternal sentry.
He serves without complaint and is willing to make any sacrifice to protect his charge. Helm is implacable against the machinations of Bane, Cyric, and Shar, whose plots are always against Faerun.
He fights the fury and destructive impulses of Garagos and Talos at every opportunity. Murdane, a lesser deity of pragmatism and Helm’s lover, was the victim of a divine purge known as the Dawn Cataclysm, caused by the deity Lathander.
In addition to the helm, other symbols are associated with the god of protection. The most famous of these items is the Viking helm of awe, and holy symbol, which is a circle with eight magical staves inside.
It is said that this symbol is used to protect the wearer against evil, and it is often worn by paladins. Another item is the shield, which is a circular piece of metal that is usually red or white in color.
What does the Helm look like?
“All Seeing Eye” is a right-hand gauntlet, which is the symbol of the helm(God of protection) and this Eye(staring eye) looks like the symbol of Shiva(the Hindu God).
The All Seeing Eye is a powerful symbol of protection and guidance. It is often found on religious icons and is thought to represent the ability of God to watch over and protect his creatures.
The all-seeing eye is also associated with wisdom and knowledge and is typically seen inside a triangle associated with the Illuminati or a hand with an eye in the palm. It is easy to see how Helm’s gauntlet is inspired by this historical symbolism in the diagram below.
The reliable helm was originally a simple piece of mail armor, but over time it became a symbol of the god’s protection. The helm was made from a single piece of mail, and it has an oval-shaped eye-hole. Some people who wear a helm are called knights.
In most cases, the helm protects the wearer’s head and neck. It is usually shaped like a circular shield or oval-shaped, but there are many variations on this theme. These types of helmets are called helms.
God Helm’s face was concealed by his helm(helmet), he was a 14 to 20 feet (4.3 to 6.1 meters) tall man with plate mail armor.
Helm is always represented by a helmet with a big open eye. It is easy to think that Helm is a god of war and a guardian. In fact, Helm isn’t just a god of war. He has always been the protector of Faerun. That is why he is called the god of protection.
