House Helmi is a major noble house of Orzammar.

Involvement[]

During the events of the Fifth Blight, House Helmi seems to be one of the more influential houses of Orzammar, as evidenced by both Lord Pyral Harrowmont's and Prince Bhelen Aeducan's need for House Helmi's vote in the Assembly as well as written in Trian Aeducan's journal.

House Helmi later spearheads the dwarven effort to clear Kal'Hirol and the Deep Roads connecting it to Orzammar and clearing it of darkspawn, reclaiming the ancient thaig for the dwarves once and for all. [1]


At 9:41 Dragon the House is trying to mount an expedition to Amgarrak Thaig however their attempts are halted and opposed by House Dace.[2]
