A massive standing stone in the Deadlands, roughly three days' travel south of the city. The stone is featureless, dark grey, and warm to the touch. It is approximately forty feet tall and irregularly shaped. No one knows what it is, who put it there, or what purpose it serves. The area surrounding Helstone is unusually quiet, both acoustically and in terms of Shadow activity. Caravans passing near it report that compasses behave strangely and that Seers experience a temporary blindness in their extended perceptions.
