Helm's Hall
While tales tell of heroes rich and famous, few are told of those who dare the dungeons and lose, with even fewer told of those they leave behind. Kiber Ederick, an aged paladin of Helm, lost his wife and eldest son to assassins twenty years ago while he was off on a quest, and he doesn’t know to this day what happened to his youngest children, boy and girl twins. This turned his duty to protecting the weak and watching over those who are forgotten or lost due to misplaced heroism. He takes many orphans off Waterdeep’s streets and feeds and clothes them. Together with the help of various temples throughout the city, Kiber teaches the children basic reading, writing, and the history of the Realms. Many of the children ten and over are either apprenticed or working with the Lamplighters’ Guild at night, though they must show the ability to ply a trade before leaving Helm’s Hall at age 15. At the current time, Kiber runs the orphanage with four other helpers, and there are 30 children at Helm’s Hall (12 girls, 18 boys).
