Being closely aligned with the capitol city of [[Odurne]]. The city is a hub for drake slayers, primarily hosting the [[Chorus of Red Drakes]] and the [[Clergy of the Well]]. Helsdon was built to supplement the halls of the [[Culling Grounds]] initially, but grew to support a larger populace when the [[Ancient Dragons]] migrated away from the [[Drakkar Territories]] for a time. Helsdon was the key decider in allowing the newly appeared city of Odurne to keep its independence, splitting its territory. It is said that when Odurne miraculously appeared to the west, the [[Sunwell]] was dipping between the plateaus, signifying that this was the Outer God's will. The city was built to respond to a dragon attack, with sharp edged buildings and sheer drops, making it very unfriendly for dragons to land on. The buildings themselves were designed to crumble under the weight of a dragon, rather than support it and allow them to attack from above.
