"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 :: 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!

The little red-cloaked filly carefully picked her way through the trees in the the dim pre-dawn light. She moved with strange sort of grace for one her age, not in the effortless dance like some of her sex but with a practiced efficiency that most foals never took the time to master so young. Each move she made was planned, deliberate, even calculated in a childish sort of way. With a little toss of her scruffy mane she sent a glance behind her to see if her twin followed. "We should be close. C'mon!" it was said with a giggle and a grin that never seemed to go to anyone him.
She had roused her brother before their mother woke so they could see the morning fog roll in off the sea. She'd heard the sometimes the Goddess walked in the mysterious mists and the possibility of meeting her coupled with the excitement of sneaking away from their mother made for a decent adventure in d'Arcy's estimation. The idea that she would try and go alone never occurred to her; where she was her brother should be also. It had been that way since the beginning and it pained her to be separated from her beloved for too long.
"There, look!" The whisper was low and reverent as the filly slowed her march and came to a stop to gaze out towards the wild sea at the edge of the world. They had come to the border of the lush forrest and before them stretched a grassy sward that soon fell away over the high cliffs and into the dark sea. The sky ahead was still dark though the faintest of pinks could be seen in the east and towards them, over the water, moved a great wall of mist.

wear your heart on your cheek
but never on your sleeve
unless you wanna taste defeat
He trots along behind his sister. His focus centered in on the red filly. The fae watches her every movement with almost wide eyes. Even his roses are trapped in the shadow of her beauty, and he doesn't resent it. He isn't capable of resenting his sister for she is loved by above all others.. She is his and he is hers. In his young mind it is simply the way of things. For they are twins, born of the same womb.. same seed.. Together they entered this world, so together they shall experience it. He wants it no other way.
The boy hears his sister speak and he perks up in attentivenss, taking great care to listen. He then grins and giggles as well. "D'ya think Moon will be there?" He says with a giddy tone. There has been nothing but whispers of the goddess.. Nothing but the distant white sphere he's seen in the dark sky.
Sneaking away from his mother's side has almost become routine. Libertad admires his own abilities at stealth.. For his mother hasn't caught him yet. His mother musn't worry though.. For the fae is here.. Here to keep d'Arcy safe. Yes, he will keep his sister safe. As they draw away from the grips of the forest, Libertad stops and both ears prick forward. He takes in the details of their surroundings.
Immediately his eyes dart over the horizon, looking for shapes in the fog. "Let's see if we can find Moon!" He says looking over at his sister with a wide grin. Without another word he bounds towards the edge of the cliff and studies the fog. Then his eyes drop down to study the waves. "D'ya see her?" He says looking over at his sister.
