"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!

She had only just arrived back in the Edge with Hemlock, both of them still in awe of the gifts they had received in the isles, when they heard the whinny from the border. Alysanne hadn’t quite gotten used to the feeling of the glass halter, but it was light and unobstructive and Hemlock assured her that it didn’t look as silly as it felt. Inlaid with soft purple gems, it was a fitting gift for a member of the Edge from the Goddess. Her heart was still light from the experience - and it was strengthening her resolve not to give up on her quest quite yet.
It was a whinny that was for the leads, a call to a meeting. For a moment, Alysanne ignored it - quick to believe Tembovu and Elsa would be on it. A minute later, she quickly stopped in her tracks. Oh. She was queen now.
Like the halter and necklace she wore, Alysanne was still getting used to the idea that she had a new rank. New rank and new responsibilities. Of course, she quickly turned and trotted towards the direction the call had come from. There were new responsibilities, yes, but she wanted to show everyone she was up to the task.
Hopefully, this would go better than the herd meeting had.
All apprehension faded away when Alysanne discovered who it had been who made the call. How silly of her not to have recognized the voice sooner! “Brisa!” The voice served as a greeting as she approached, a smile quick to rush onto her face as she approached and stopped near the two mares. Hemlock swooped overhead, seeking out Hikari to say hello to the kitsune.
Queen or not, Alysanne wasn’t about to just stand stiffly around and greet Brisa like she was a stranger so she reached out with her muzzle to greet her friend with a soft bump before stepping back into a more polite distance. “How wonderful to see you again.” And to see her back here! She wondered how strange it must feel for her but put aside those thoughts for another time - perhaps after.
Her warm gaze did not falter when it turned to the black and gold mare standing with Brisa and she dipped her head slightly as she spoke. “Hello, welcome to the Edge. My name’s Alysanne, but most call me Aly.” Her mind was stumbling over whether she should introduce herself as “the queen” or whether that was important to bring up right away? She actually found herself hoping that Tembovu would do his usual trick and appear in a moment - like it or not, he did have more experience with… well, whatever this was. Official greetings and visits perhaps?
The presence of Brisa had done wonders to sooth the current of nerves racing under her skin at that moment but they were still present as a looming fear she might say or do the wrong thing.
Come on Tembovu, where was that punctuality she so loathed every other time?
Her manner was relaxed and friendly externally, slipping back into that easy manner she had when talking to others once upon a time. “How can I help you two?”
