"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.

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 stallion stands looking out over the sea breathing in the cool morning air. Birdsong was upon them all, bringing with it the heat the duo had come to love. As the sun slowly rose it's fingers of light caressing the rippling waves of the sea he turned to his wolf. "Well Isabella, I think it;s time we try and find a little more magic in the world." She wagged her tail golden eyes shifting back to the ocean once more before turning to leave with her brother. The stallion smiled softy as she shifted forms and took to the air. With a half lunge the stallion threw hisbody over the sand. Thick legs beat that the cool grains leaving divots in the ground. After a few strides his massive silver and teal wings popped open catching the ocean wind and throwing his body into the sky.
It didn't take the Preyton and hybrid long to reach the Veins of the gods. Carefully the pair touched down eyes looking across the bridge. Isabella shifted back to the silvery wolf with ivy over her golden eyes. Lifting his head the stallion strode calmly towards the shrines. Isabella stuck close to his right side her ears pricked curiously as she gazed around. Without hesitating to walked to the Sun god's shrine and bowed before it. "Thank you for all you do Sir." His voice was a low warm whisper before he rose and stepped back.
The stallion had respect for every true God that ruled over these lands and did not care which, if any chose to come and see him today. He was well aware how busy their immortal lives truly where. He smiled down at his sister before lifting his head, "I seek council. I'll be honest, I come to ask a favor, but I'd also like to just talk with you." He smiled warmly wonder which if any would come to his call.

"No thanks to the rest of us, hmm?" The Goddess's voice, an unmistakable purr, tore through the stillness that often fell over the Veins. Although her words were clipped, there was some amusement in them, and if the stallion had been particularly astute, he wouldn't take offense.
Then again, she didn't really care if he did.
Appearing in a star-shine explosion of light and the scent of lilacs, the svelte form of the pale lady appeared before Ilios. Her pupil-less silver eyes blinked delicately as she scanned him, finding who he was in her mind, and nodding slightly. "I'm not one for chit-chat darling. What is it you have come here for? Fame? Glory? Power?" Her lips curled into a dark smile that did not touch her eyes.
Around them, despite the sunlight that filtered downwards from the sky, the air seemed to be darker somehow. Or perhaps was it simply that the Goddess appeared so much brighter? It was difficult to say.
The stud smiled as her purr brushed the air around them. Isabella's ears pricked as she looked around for the Goddess. He caught the assessment and swished his tail calmly. He had grown in the dark Goddesses forests, and he held a great respect for her. He knew what she was capable of and why she did the things she did, even if he didn't agree with her one hundred percent.
A blinding light and sweet smell of lilacs announced her arival. Blinking to clear the stars from his eyes the stallion gazed upon the beautiful goddess His horned head lowered and the wolf beside him did the same. "I wished to hold my thanks for everyone else, until I was sure who would grace us." His head lifted a smile still resting warmly on his face. "I appreciate all each of you does for us. Thank you my Lady."
He watched her carefully even though he appeared calm, he was wary. Ilios wasn't scared of her, his life was in her hands and that would never change. She was a double edged sword; beautiful and deadly. His ears flicked as she spoke and he nodded in understanding. "I seek power Miss." He glanced at Isabella she she stood silent and watchful beside him. "I'm sure you know, but I've always had a, well, thing for wolves. When they are near all run in fear," He turned his silver eyes to meet her own before finishing, "I wish to harness that power to keep my family as safe as I can." He knew if it was truly their time to go it would happen, but he could keep them from minor harm.
He watched the Lady quietly wondering what she would have him do to earn such a thing. It seemed darker now that she was there, but to him that just made her lilac body glow. She was the moon and the darkness. 'Without the dark how would anyone ever see the light?' He lifted his head ears tilted forward a smile still resting on his handsome ivy marked face.

I wished to hold my thanks for everyone else, until I was sure who would grace us. The Goddess smiled. "Hedging your bets I see." She purred, though her tone was one of approval. "Don't want to offend anyone, until you know who might turn up, eh? Smart."
She nodded for him to continue.
As he mentioned power, her approval - and her smile - grew. She decided that she liked this stallion. He spoke his mind, seemed clever, and did not try to awkwardly put words in her mouth or guess at what it was she was going to say next. So many did that you know, and it was awfully tiresome. She liked a man who spoke his mind and was confident about it. Confident and relaxed; no need to get all up in arms about every little thing.
Power was it? Wolves? Sure the Goddess thought, why not.
"Indeed they are fearsome, and for good reason. They are intimidating, clever hunters, and their bite is far strong than most would give them credit for." The Goddess looked to Isabella, sensing the power within her. "I shall give you what you seek .. .but it is up to you to decide how long it takes. If this really is for your family, perhaps you'll choose the faster option. If not-" She shrugged. "Then it will take longer."
The Goddess smiled, before continuing. "You must EITHER, intimidate someone, have Isabella - as a wolf - bite someone and offer no excuse or justification, and sneak up on someone. OR you must battle a wolf, not your own, must suffer the bite of one, again - not your own, and not the one that you fight, learn what it is like to be hunted down, and finally, must eat raw meat." The Goddess shrugged and smiled. "The choice is yours."
He beamed at her praise and dipped his head once more. Her beauty was paralleled by none, and that made the stallion nervous. The man knew if he ever, gods forbid, lost his home in the Throat he would go back to her domain. That is where he had grown up living in the dark misty forests of the Edge. Darkness was no stranger to him, and the stallion embraced it.
When he looked back up she gestured for him to continue. As he spoke her growing smile did not evade his silver eyes. When he said his whole spill she watched him for a second then spoke herself. He nodded along with her wise words. He had stumbled upon wolves eating a fresh kill when he had been young. He had watched their powerful jaws crush bones and tear away flesh with ease. He had marveled at their grace and ferocity; that was when his obsession had started.
When the dark Goddess turned her solid eyes to Isabella she lifted her head proudly. She knew what she was capable of,and was glad another knew of her wolf form's power. She met the silver eyes of the Goddess then looked away showing her respect for the lady. Ilios smiled approvingly down at his silver wolf before turning his attention back to the lilac lady.
His ears pricked and quivered slightly as she said she would grant his request but one would be faster. To him that meant easier not faster. He listened to her requirements quietly thinking about what the choice he would have to make. Hurt and scare others or be hurt and scared. He rolled the thoughts around for a brief moment. The decision was easy for the kindhearted man."I'm the one asking for this, so I will be the one to suffer for it." He looked into her beautiful silver orbs feeling very determined to do her tasks correctly and swiftly. "Thank you for this opportunity my Lady." He dipped his head smiling softly.
