Helheim Legitimates

**Helheim Legitimates** was a faction that was formed by *WingedHarmony (TruGames)* and *MrLewie* on April 20th, 2019. Originally formed on Constantiam, the introduction of Helheim on Specterium was when *WingedHarmony* first joined the server on July 8th that same year, making it the first ever group on Specterium.

The main gimmick behind Helheim was that each member had to abstain from using hack clients such as Wurst, Impact, and Future, among others. During its first run on Specterium, it had stood as the main faction for many important players, such as *TriggeredCat*, and for a brief moment, *MrEDok*, the owner of Specterium.

## History

### Overview

Helheim was originally founded on Constantiam on 20/04/2019. On 8/07/2019, *WingedHarmony* would bring the group to Spec, making it the first fully established group on the server. He would build the first base at 7k 7k, this base was mostly underground and one of the first bases on the server. Some of the first players to go there were *Trig* and *EDok*.

They griefed the base themselves due to plans to kick a member from the group, hence needing a reason to disappear. After destroying the old base, the remaining members moved to the location where Aquatica would eventually be founded (unnamed at first). Most of the base was planned and built by *Trig,* with *EDok* would leave the group, but some other new players would join it.

The group would remain fairly active following its founding, with Triggeredcat acting as more of the call-to-action within the group than WingedHarmony was.

However, *WingedHarmony* would unofficially disband the group in early December due to some personal stuff.

In June 2020, he would bring the group back together with some other members, namely *TriggeredKat*, *Joshantix* and *Arctiblaine*. They would go back to Aquatica, as Worldedit Town had been griefed at this point, and would give the base its name. Shorty after this however, the group would become inactive yet again. *Harmony* has explained that "There isn't much incentive for many of us to come back. The faction was built on community, so once most of the faction had left, nothing stands to bring the faction back together."

### Legacy

Helheim was most notably seen as one of the first fully established factions on Specterium, as well as being a faction that put community before anything else. Though it was shoddily structured due to *WingedHarmony*'s inexperience to owning a faction, its tight group of members kept it alive, even when it seemed doomed to fail.

> *"I'm going to try my damn hardest to make this happen. I want this to be a community, an entity that sticks out, that's unique compared to others. I want a community that can send that message. I want us to succeed.* *As I've been saying, it's not MY faction. Sure, I started it, and I can do what I can to keep it alive, but it's not my faction. It's ran by community. It's ran by the wonderful mod team. It's ran by that ever-alluring idea that we can succeed in our goal here. And again, I may be way too ambitious, but what's fun without any overambition?" -WingedHarmony* on Nov. 5, 2019

### Downfall

Helheim was short-lived, however, as in early December, *WingedHarmony* deleted the Discord server for the faction and unofficially shut it down. He has since elaborated on how he was unable to keep the faction running in the mental state he was in at the time, especially with school being a big stressor on him. However, later that month, he had already planned the return of the faction, which was later revealed to be on **March 6th, 2020.** This was delayed to an unspecified date due to further testing of the restructuring needed, so the future of Helheim is currently unknown.

### Revival

On June 26th, *WingedHarmony* announced on the Specterium discord server that Helheim Legitimates was finally being revived. Not much information was given publicly, only stating that the Helheim server system itself was almost finished, and little to no fanfare occurred as a result of the announcement. However, *Harmony* has later stated that big plans are soon to come, including finishing their first full base, which *Harmony* has since dubbed "Aquatica". This has yet to happen.

During the creation of The Second Alliance, Helheim Legitimates joined as one of the first groups to form the alliance, with *WingedHarmony* being made part of the High Table. He later asked to be removed due to his own inactivity.

### Eventual End

On 11/10/2020, *WingedHarmony* announced in The Second Alliance Discord server that the group will officially be disbanded. He stated that his motivation to play on Spec was waning, and the rest of the group had been inactive for months. He later stated that he wanted to focus on other projects, and didn't see much reason to keep Helheim alive while everyone was inactive and unmotivated to play on Spec.

## Bases

The first base that Helheim had set up was at 7k, 7k. The small yet function-heavy base served them well until they had made plans to remove one of the higher-ranking members in the faction. Due to fears that the location would be leaked or griefed, Helheim then decided to grief the base themselves and then move to a new base whose location has been lost, however it's believed to be close to the location of Worldedit Town. Following the griefing of Worldedit Town, Helheim then officially decided to move once again, now to the location of Aquatica, their current base. While it has remained unfinished for many months, Helheim still resides here, and does not yet have plans to move once again.

## Relations

Helheim had always made sure to be seen as a friendly and collaborative faction. They were allied with The Alliance (due to player overlap), and were later made an official part of The Second Alliance. They were also allied with Elysium and Steel Shield, however due to bad relations with Wolfpack(The Phantoms), both saw each other as opponents.
