'''Heltius Fræncius Darus''' ({{Lang-led|HELTIVZ FRÆNCIVZ DǢRVZ}}; {{Lang-held|ᛞᛈᛁᛈᚱᚾᛁᚪᚱ|Heleraldr}}; {{circa}} 47 – {{circa}} 103) was the first [[Lord of Helterium]]. Most consider him to be the founder of the [[House of Darus]],<ref>{{cite journal|last=Liederlieng|first=Karl|year=1978|title=The Rise of the Darus: Barbarians, or Nobles?|journal=University of Vrebsicourg Press|pages=38-39}}</ref> which held control over ''[[Helterium]]'' for the next three centuries. Many historians additionally consider him to be "the first king of what would one day grow to be Heldervin".<ref>Historian [[Cloven de Monscieurs]] wrote in his book ''[[The Searo-Heldo Chronicles]]'', "In all honest thought, the history of a Heldervin as an idea begins with Lord Heltius, appointed over the Lordship of Helterium by his liege Cassius Agilus III. Prior to him, we only have Ledonian history. After his kingdom, we have Trihhimic history. Therefore, he was the first king of what would one day grow to be Heldervin, ascending to the throne bearing the name of the Ledonians but the language of the Helds."</ref>

Upon his ascension to the throne, Heltius spent his reign fighting invasions from the [[Sears]]. He won the [[Battle of Ficerpenium]] in 92, before making an agreement with the Searic clan lords. Heltius additionally saw a Saletrization of much of his territory. Heltius began to style himself as Lord of Helterium. This move, along with the ''[[Rechenkieste]]'', would expand his territory to include the entire [[Hortenic Peninsula]].
