Sentinel Rock

Sentinel Rock was a small shrine to Helm found near Espar in Cormyr. It was overseen by the settlement's founder, and former clergyman Helm's church, Hezom.

Location
The shrine was situated within a cavern set inside a steep cliff, also named Sentinel Rock, that stood kist west of the King's Forest. It was accessible by crawling through of a small passageway whose opening was located about halfway up Sentinel Rock's cliffside.

Description
The shrine's altar featured a magical animated sword known as the Vigilant Blade that would awaken and defend any of Helm's faithful that came before it.

The altar itself was illuminated by light that shone through a single crack within the ceiling of the cavern within Sentinel Rock.

Interior
The cavern in Sentinel Rock also held a hidden cache containing a sister weapon to Vigilant Blade, a +2 holy keen sword that was blessed by Helm himself. This weapon could be adopted for a time by one of Helm's faithful to complete a quest in his name, but had to be returned for fear of invoking their god's ire.

Activities
Sentinel Rock was a destination for Helmite pilgrims from well beyond Espar.
