The House Invincible

The House Invincible is a temple to Helm in Silverymoon.

Location
The House Invincible is located in the Northbank district of Silverymoon, close to the Hunter's Gate and overlooking the market.

Structure
The temple has the appearance of a fortified stone keep, with no artistic embellishments. This is not just for appearance, the building is solidly built and can be converted to an actual fortress and garrison for troops at a moments notice. Indeed, it has served as such at various times in the past.

Adherents
The House Invincible has a large congregation, particularly amongst the Knights in Silver and the other guardsmen in the city. Followers can attend worship held several times each tenday and were also able to train as reservists with the temple's masters-of-arms so long as they are in good standing with the church.

To go with the large congregation, the temple has a number of priests led by Vigilant Master Beled Jossud, a human man of middle years. Master Jossud is a powerful warrior, stern, grim and unflinching in his duty. His immediate subordinate, High Watcher Donovan Ambersword, is much friendlier and outgoing and personally handles most of the temple's interactions with outside agencies. High Watcher Ambersword (then Guard Ambersword) was also responsible for raising and training Sebastian Joab and sees himself as an adoptive father to the aasimar.

Besides holding worship sessions each week, the clergy is expected to devote their time to martial training, personal study, and charitable works in the city.

Tenets
Never betray your trust. Be vigilant. Stand, wait,and watch carefully. Be fair and diligent in the conduct of your orders. Protect the weak, poor, injured, and young, and do not sacrifice them for others or yourself. Anticipate attacks and be ready. Know your foes. Care for your weapons so they may perform their duties when called upon. Careful planning always defeats rushed actions in the end. Always obey orders, providing those orders follow the dictates of Helm. Demonstrate excellence and purity of loyalty in your role as a guardian and protector.
