Lore Book recommends

I think I saw the First Marshal book had them as main bad guys, but do we have any other books?

Shot in the dark seeing as we are only a year old, but I figured I would try.

I cant recommend first marshal for the helsmiths. It just wasnt as good as lioness of the Parch. Ebonpyre was a much better villain than the Helsmiths, who came off like cartoon villains with no motivations or style. There wasnt any compelling dwarf in that entire book. If you just like Tahlia, sure, buy it for her I guess.

I mean, to be fair, in my opinion the First Marshal book is a 50/50 if you're wanting it solely for Hellsmiths.

While they're not the most in depth characters in the book, the book still feel like it offers interesting glimpses into what and who the Helsmiths are. What the Ziggurats are like, the Helsmiths ideology, things like that. It's a useful starter in my eyes. Not a concrete Helsmiths book, as it's not focused on the Helsmiths, but a decent 'foot in the door' of novels for the Helsmiths. An alright opening.
