Helmgart



'' "Can you thwart Rasknitt's Schemes and save embattled Helmgart from the Pact-Sworn?" ''

Helmgart, together with its surroundings, is the main location of Vermintide 2. It is a devastated town, caused by the invasion of the Skaven and Chaos forces. The center of town has completely collapsed by the extensive labour on the Skittergate and its surrounding infrastructure.

Background
Helmgart was an Imperial fortress and market town nestled in the Grey Mountains. Before the events of Vermintide 2, Bretonnian merchants could be found selling brandy, wine, fabrics, and arms; Dwarfs selling ingots of silver, lead, and iron mined in the Grey Mountains; as well as Reiklander merchants selling the goods of that province. There are Dwarven ruins close by in the mountains and the valley below the town is littered with both acres, swamps and forests with old Elven temples.
