"Where brilliance is good and madness is better..."
Helovia Info
Helovia opened in February 2012! We are an active fantasy equine RPG
Where once the world narrowed into naught but gray dust and desolation, the gods called for life. Wielding the elements of fire and light, dark and wind, earth and water, spark and time, they have created Helovia. The realm is set within the mythical globe of Loorien, a planet rich with all variety of creatures and blessed with all manner of magic. Originally populated by nomadic, tribal characters, they've since grown into massive empires saturated with culture and history. Separated into four distinct segments of Helovia, called "The Regions," each band of horse strong enough and capable enough, took up the power and responsibility of leadership. Unicorns, old, wise and mysterious, took to the north, hidden in forests of mists and shadows and rarely making themselves known beyond their cliffs of the World's Edge. Equines, vast, organized and militaristic, split into two, one group went north to the Windtossed Foothills and the other group went south to the Dragon's Throat. Pegasus remained nomadic, making their homes in various parts of The Wilds in a migratory manner. For many generations, the land was peaceful and calm, but peace was never the way of the gods. With a clash of argument, war and bloodshed massacred Helovia, and in the aftermath, the realm was eerily quiet. Now, as newcomers sweep into this land, they are met with the lingering bitterness of the gods and the struggle to reclaim what was lost. Nothing remains safe or certain while sorcerers and soldiers alike brood and bide their time for revenge, honor and glory.

Endless Night :: Broken Magic Plot ☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.
☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.
Endless Night :: Dead Magic Plot ☼ - 6/22/13 - The gods of Helovia, in order to protect the world, have disappeared into the rift, leaving the world sunless, moonless and magic-less in their absence. Only the herdlands have a source of light, but lamp-trees with glowing leaves and branches sporadically line the popular roads and paths from place to place.
Doppleganger Plot ☼ - 6/20/13 - The God of Time is still struggling to close the rift though which the dopplegangers have come. He has requested that his brothers and sister assist in closing this hole, but without knowing why it opened, the task is proving difficult. Magic still remains faulty and hard to control, but the herdlands continue to be places of refuge for those who are fortunate enough to call these lands home.
ORANGEMOON cools off the lands with a a viscious force. Colder than normal, a sign of things to come during Frostfall, Helovia is bathed in a rich tropical lushness - albiet a cold one. The coastlines of the Dragon's Throat are pelted constantly by tidal waves, and the desert climate is humid but chilly. Ice begins to form early in the Aurora Basin leaving the winding trails slick and dangerous. The mists of the World's Edge coat everything in a glistening crystalline shine which encourages mould to grow everywhere. The Spectral Marsh is the only area which remains fertile, blissfully temperature and lush.

Character of the Month for
June, 2017
WEAVER, Corporal of the Aurora Basin, is a relatively recent addition to Helovia and has taken it by storm. Branded with the seal of Death on her chest, intrigue and interest follow both her past and present. Though she is assuredly beautiful, her sometimes sharp personality reveals that there is more to this uni-peg hybrid than meets the eye. Proving herself able on the battlefield in the Basin’s warrior ranks, we can’t wait to see her test her mettle against the looming Kaos happenings! Congratulations!

I remember the last time I had come here—back when Jiji was still a part of my life, something other than a deep, dark, secret memory that made me cringe with shame whenever it found its way into the forefront of my mind. It was…um…it was foggy the last time I was here, and I couldn’t see that there was an entire freaking glass wall erected around whatever herdland I had skated by so closely. It was different now, though; the sun was out, even though the pale sun wasn’t doing its part to bring any kind of warmth (shit was cold), and a ruined glass barricade was plainly visible, the heatless sunrays gleaming off of jagged broken edges and the gracefully carved craftsmanship of the intact sections. The air was still salty, though, even with a blue sky; I could still feel faint traces of sand in the hard-packed dirt as I walked up to the sea-side kingdom. I guess you could say that it was only slightly shitty here instead of at the actual beach.
Let’s see….yeah, the last time I was here was with Jiji and some other guys—yeah! This one really snarky asshole and this other girl who was probably part dragon—probably—and they kinda met us here and I was kinda a jerk (oops) and Jiji was trying to mediate between my bullheadedness and their….um, otherness. Whatever they were doing, I dunno. Looking back on it, I forgot why I had so much of an attitude (something about this present I had given Jiji? Jeez, does it even matter now?) and I was chewing on the idea of maybe-sorta-kinda apologizing for my jerkishness. Not because I thought I had be wrong (I was probably right to be mad for whatever reason; people are dumb) but because there was bigger shit going on than petty anger for stupid (legitimate) reasons. My perspective was shifted a little; I guess the huge-ass fan of the universe was blocking my view on a lot of matters.
So they can just wait a moment.
I stopped in front of the wall, looking into the glass at the indistinct shapes that I could vaguely see through it, looking without really seeing what I was looking at. I was thinking too hard; Pa had given me some sorta ability and it had been horrible the first time he had shown me how to use it, but I needed to get over that and use it now. But I wasn’t sure how to use it; hell, I wasn’t even sure if this was the right place, the “World’s Edge” or whatever (Hadn’t the dragon girl used that name? Maybe, I dunno; I had been too pissed at the time to commit it to memory) where the Moon Goddess was supposed to reside. This…this was just the place where my feet had taken me—guess Pa hadn’t been lying when he said he’d give me a hand. Whatever. Thanks, Pa (you creep).
I sighed and shook my head back and forth a little, shrugging my shoulders, pumping myself up. Whatever, whatever, gotta get my game face on. Time to work; Pa would probably help if I needed it.
I closed my eyes.

Images began to move around in your head, images that were not yours. They raced around from when the wall was built by Mirage and her kin, a black mare with a gold dragon. Her disappearance. Kaj and Kahlua's rise to power. A herd meeting, arguments, the wall being removed panel by panel until it all just stopped again. The images stopped, and here you stood.
The wall you once breathed on was gone. You had seen the past yes, but for some reason, you were also transported just a few days into the future. A thick mist swirled around you, blocking vision into the herd with its black, smokey density.
"Child of spark..." it whispered softly. "What are you expecting to see here?" A giggling laughter followed before the mist disappeared entirely, taunting. None of the memories were anything particularly unusual, just the normal herd happenings here and there.
But you were standing here now, days in the future, time lost.
There was this nagging feeling in the back of your mind that something else had gone terribly, terribly wrong.
