The helm offered the wearer significant protections that were magical in nature, but the origin of which was largely unknown.

History
At some point prior to the Year of the Banner, 1368 DR, Balduran's helm and cloak came into the possession of the elven warrior Vail and his fellow adventurers. Unfortunately, when the group attempted to raid the tower of the wizard Ramazith Flamesinger, they were petrified. However, prior to their raid, Vail hid the helm behind a trapped painting that hung within the second story of the Helm and Cloak inn.
