The Ready House of the Right Strong Hand

This holy house of Helm is a large academy of arms, wherein many of the warriors who serve in Berdusk's gauntlets (patrol units) are trained, as well as warrior-knights who serve Helm throughout Faerûn. The stern reputation of this god is borne out by the vigilant guard surrounding the temple at all times, and by the energetic clangor of arms heard from its inner courtyards constantly.
Wounded caravan guards and warriors of all faiths can receive healing here at any time. Training, shelter, and tending to the hurts of those not faithful to Helm must be paid for by donating at least 25 gp to the temple for every night each guest stays. Clergy of Helm will firmly insist that injured folk rest at the temple until they are completely healed. Folk unable to offer up such moneys must remain at the Ready House until they have performed some service usually participation as part of the escort-guardianship of a temple wagon or messenger along the roads to another city, but sometimes as witnesses sent to openly watch and report back to an agent of Helm on a meeting, event, or state of affairs elsewhere.
Predictably, this temple resembles a ready-armed keep. I've never seen so many grim, alert people in full armor gathered in one place at a time (I try to avoid battlefields), and a guest is always watched, all the time. On more than one occasion the Zhentarim have sent in a female agent who tried to work magic while in the privacy of a garderobe (jakes) stall, only to be pounced upon by a watching knight of Helm who leaped out from behind a nearby panel so swiftly that her spells were ruined!
The leader of the faith in the Ready House, Tathlosar Brimmerbold, is a famous war leader of Sunset Vale, known for his successes against trolls, orc hordes, and the forces of Darkhold. His formal title is Vigilant Godseye, but he’s more widely known as Sleepless Teeth, a name his followers gave him after he told them they must sweep down on foes by night, like wolves with sleepless teeth.
