"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!

home is behind the world ahead
there are many paths to tread
The commotion was heard easily from the serpent's outpost in the Endless Blue (a humble palm leaf structure) - How anyone could miss such an event was beyond him. The rumbles and thunderous voices heard over the psithurism, the waves and theh chorus of nature was simply impossible to miss. With a fleeting heart and quivering steps the gilded gelding began his gallop towards the bellows and quakes, soon finding himself among a large crowd.
Pressing his way forwards into the summoned gathering, Toulouse's pale eyes looked with both wonder and horror at the structure that had been built and the bones at its foot. He knew the selcouth beast was not to be trusted and yet he had helped create this relic. What was it? Necromancy? Blood Magic? In fact he was quite sure all too many of them were suspicious of the creature. Why oh why did they help it!
Cries of rallying had come from a lapis-coloured woman and the Indomitable gave similar orders. A gathered force of magic would surely harm this dark deity would it not?
Toulouse strode forwards to stand at the right side of Volterra, a man who not long ago he had duelled with. On this day would fight beside him. Giving a nod of encouragement, fraternity, and acknowledgement for the lady Inquisitors words and te Indomitibles plan, Toulouse's furrowed brow soon turned onwards to the being formed from the bones.
IT was then that the chants from the small child, brown and spotted that caused toulouses teeth to grit and soon a roar of his own escaped his lips. "There is a real enemy! You are a child, do not pretend to possess a sliver more wisdom or information than any present, and don't you dare divide this army with your stupid, toothless mouth. We stand together or all is lost!"
Awakening him from his rant was the rumble and barreling of charging feet; the creature charged.
Leaping and scrambling, Toulouse tried his damnedest to flee from the path of the monster - only to be struck hard in the neck. A superficial wound at most, yet daringly painful. Crystalline eyes darting around amongst a flurry of bone and blood, toulouse looked to the trumpet of his own monarch. Fight they would.
Springing with great discomfort the gelding slunk around the marsh and magma to stand with the warriors of his herd and his King. ""There must be a way to break it's defenses!" Toulouse boomed, soon turning his gaze sharply upon those of the Elephant "The Pillar - It could be a source of his power, his magic resistance... We should remove the bones and destroy it at once." This he spoke as close to a whisper as possible so the old god might not hear, his clear gaze shifting to the warriors who might help him with this task.
