Silverhelm is founded by a coalition of human, elven, and dwarven settlers drawn together by a powerful leader known as King Thalrin Silverhelm, the first ruler and namesake of the kingdom. The fertile lands, located between forests and mountains, were ideal for defense and resources. The early settlers, needing protection against marauding orcs and other threats, constructed the initial fortifications of Helmspire, which served as a beacon of unity.
