Helen's House is a faction unique building chain belonging to Paris' Trojans, in a Total War Saga: Troy, which can be built in capitals and resource settlements.

Description[]

Abducted in her youth by Theseus and forced to marry Menelaus who won her in a contest of suitors, Helen had no great love for Sparta when Paris whisked her away to Troy. All the same, in Homer's version of events, she came to regret her part in the ensuing conflict and grew sorrowful at the deaths she caused. The Trojan themselves became resentful of her presence, blaming her for the Achaean invaders. According to the ‘Odyssey,’ she reconciled with Menelaus after the war, and the two lived happily together for a time.
