Helstrom is an Argonian settlement located in the center of Black Marsh. It is said to have "wonderful, dangerous alleys".
Following the victory of the Second Empire at the Battle of Argonia in 1E 2811, the native Argonian army retreated to Helstrom, as it was located in the "impenetrable center" of Black Marsh where men and mer could not follow. Despite Black Marsh's subsequent incorporation into the Empire, the impassable denseness of the interior swamps ensured that Helstrom was never threatened by an Imperial siege. During the Imperial Simulacrum, the city-state of Helstrom was ruled by King Germanus. At the time, the city guards had a reputation for being very dangerous.
Notes
- Arena was originally conceived as a fighting game featuring a tournament that took the player to each of Tamriel's cities to challenge different gladiatorial teams. According to a file from that stage of development left behind in the final game, Helstrom's gladiatorial team would have been called "the Pit Daemons".
