"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!

Large eyes watched as the four demigods accepted the clouds of healing knowledge. The vapors curled and snaked around their bodies until they either soaked into and under the skin or were inhaled by the intended receiver. Finally, they could help the beast with his injuries and make him well once again.
But after the bag ripped open and the jitterbugs began swarming about, most of the demigods seemed more worried about stopping the bugs rather than healing the slowly dying beast. One however did attempt to heal him. The dragon felt the tingling sensation of Mesec's healing magic at work and and the area that was once plagued by a deep gash slowly turned into a minor scraped.
As the beast was being healed, the bugs swarmed and continued their attack on the demigods. Isopia's mud concoction seemed to work mildly. The jitterbugs were not deterred by it, but it did prove to be something for the jitterbugs to get through before reaching the soft warm skin of the demigods. But it was only a matter of time until the insects broke through the mud leaving the demigods vulnerable to their attack. Aithniel's fire burned the jitterbugs that came at her and eventually she seemingly tried to close the book. Though her efforts would be in vain for the book was already closed and the onslaught of jitterbugs was seemingly endless. Then, without even a warning, a strange magic befell upon Aithniel. If she would have simply turned around she would gaze upon a chewed through portion of her muddy armor and a blackened part of her skin. Her legs would soon begin to quiver and move of their own accord as she would break out into uncontrollable dancing.
Aithniel had been bitten.
Further off in the distance, arcs and sparks of Roskuld's electrical magic lit up the area with a crazy display. With each spark that she sends forward she manages to kill a handful of jitterbugs leaving the ground stained black from their remnants, but their approach seems to be faster than the sparks she sends out. Quickly, the jitterbugs crash into her like a wave upon the sand and the strange magic that overtook Aithniel soon grasps a hold of Roskuld's body as well.
Roskuld had also been bitten.
Mysteriously a black stain is also left upon her body and with no knowledge of black stains being left by the jitterbug the dragon sweeps his tail in some of the black pools upon the ground and examined it closer.
“Ink?” he murmured just loud enough for only Mesec to hear since he was right nearby. The insects were just made out of ink. Surprise hit the dragon as this knowledge was new to him. His flame and the flames of many others in the past had just disintegrated the bugs leaving no trace of their bodies. If he had known that they were merely beings of ink he would have dowsed the whole book in a pool of water a long time ago to prevent this kind of madness. But now it was too late. Two of the four demigods had already fallen under the curse of the jitterbug bite only two remained unharmed.
The reflection of something bright made the dragon squint his eyes and soon most of the insects seemed to be drawn to whatever the source was. After a few minutes of the beast's eyes adjusting to the new level of brightness, he soon learned of the shine's origin: Mesec. Worry radiated throughout the dragon even though his body slowly grew weaker. He had to tell them all. He had to help them all somehow. He had to...
“The bugs,” his voice echoed just slightly, “They're made out of ink!”
Hopefully the demigods would know what to do with that small bit of knowledge. Hopefully it would provide them an advantage in the fight that they now needed to win in order to save both his life and theirs.

____________
Aithniel & Roskuld have been bitten and can't stop dancing. (RANDOM GEN odds were a hit, evens were a miss)
The jitterbugs seem to be made out of ink! Mesec's diversion works, but now they all are heading straight for him.
