Helm's Gauntlet

We learned of the story from Yornick (Jorik?) at the "Gauntlet and the Growler".

Ashmadai, a cult devoted to Asmodeus (Chief devil and Lord of the Nine Hells), came and took over Helm's Hold. Paladins and priests fell in the battle who gave their lives and secured faith and potential divinity to anchor themselves. They corrupted Helm's Gauntlet with dark magic, but no one knows what happened to it. Yornick's grandfather was there and saw it happen. Yornick was kicked out the paladin ranks for this knowledge.
