Stonehelm is an underground dwarvish city; the capital of a kingdom of the same name prior to the War of the Dead. Now the King of Stonehelm is also the dwarvish Triumvir, and Stonehelm is part of the Triumvirate.

Stonehelm is almost as old as Cardmoor; it was the first major dwarvish settlement in Amartain. Its subsidiary city, Dolgaine, on the shores of Lake Aeryk, has long been a conduit for trade between Stonehelm and the rest of Amartain.

During the War of the Dead, Stonehelm sealed itself off completely from the surface world and thus avoided the apocalypse that destroyed most of Amartain. During the siege of Rindamoor, the dwarves finally emerged and rallied to Rindamoor's aid, preventing the city's destruction long enough for Saint Bessin to dispell the undead hordes.

The mines of Stonehelm are famous for almost every mineral resource other than Geldren. A small pocket of Upfall rock was discovered several decades ago, and has led to the development of dwarven airships.
