Helm of Defense: 'Gift of Peace'

A tale told about the helm worn by a paladin that had saved the speaker when he had been lost in Icewind Dale. He had taken the man in and let him winter at his hermitage, sharing not only the warmth of his hearth but the warmth of his spirit...

Prized for its noble origin as much as for its benefits to the wearer, this helm was originally intended to be a simple gift. There was no great crisis at hand, nor dangerous evil to be overthrown; just a wish for friend to give a gift to another. It could just have easily been a good book or bottle of wine, but adventurers are eminently more practical in their gift giving. The helm has seen many great battles since its creation, but the simple virtue at its core is what has always been remembered.
