Helm

Helm is the God of Protection and a lesser deity of the Light Pantheon. He was worshiped by guards and paladins both, long being seen as a cold and focused deity who impartially took the role of defender and sometimes also enforcer.
Helm is the eternal sentry and is always seen wearing a full suit of armor that represented the weight of his heavy responsibility. Yet Helm always gets the job at hand done without complaint. The people of the Realms widely admire these qualities in what they see as a humble and reassuring god.
Helm is particularly fond of children, and often forgives their minor transgressions.
Helmites are long respected and revered for their dedication and purpose. Throughout the War of the Divine, and beyond, they unfailingly pledged to come to the defense of those who called for it.
They wear polished full suits of armor, often enchanted as everbright, and typically wore plumed helmets. Their hierarchy is strict and militaristic.
