Lore¶
Helmshire's story is mostly told by the Old Villager's Journal book, found in one of the houses. As a rural part of the Order of Insohm, the town was mostly abandoned by Mossfield following the Order's collapse and the departure of Virtuo. When people began to go missing and Mossfield refused to send help, the villagers were forced to send their own people out on search and rescue missions, and enforce a strict curfew at night. Neighbors grew suspicious of one another, rising to a crucial point of tension. At this time, an old villager named Elkhorn Myriksson returned and told the others that he had discovered a "magical sanctuary" in the woods away from Helmshire, and proposed that they simply leave. Some of the villagers did just that, leading to the small remnants of the village today, while the curfew has managed to keep further disappearances from occurring.
Information from other nearby sources suggests that the disappearances were abductions by the Skeveraan alchemist living in the nearby Skeveraan Laboratory.
