"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!

Crunch of snow and ice followed the meeting of hoof and ground no longer. Melting away back into the wet earth, crawling deep into the soil to hibernate like a malicious grizzly until it would strike again. Cold tendrils still reaching up bitterly to linger as long as it could. But even this could not inconvenience the cherub on such a beautiful morn. Strikingly he had found his wings no longer the white infused bittern he normally awoke to. Instead, as if a thief had stolen his light patterns and replaced them, they were a heavenly white. Glowing crown had been discovered upon his head, though it was not by his own eyes. This had troubled him at first- was it harmful? Would it go away? Did it do anything?- but he had relaxed after that in a way only children could. If it didn't harm him, what was the use in worrying over it?
Call had roused the girl, head turning his way to greet him with bright smile drawn to in return. His own name fell from her maw in return, beckoning lengthy legs forward. Maws brushed as always upon greeting, familiarizing himself with her scent once again even if they had been apart for hardly any time. Cera was overjoyed to have a friend, especially one who not only enjoyed his adventures but could keep up with them. Cera knew he was much too energetic at times.
In fact he had not taken much time to view the meadow since Birdsong's influence. Admitting that yes it was extremely beautiful. Buttercups and various small flowers of alternating colors. Trees pushing forth curled buds of green, desperate to awaken and live after such a harsh time under the rule of frost. "Yeah..." whispering it awesomely as he gazed about. Mind couldn't conjure words to describe it in its youth, after all the colt was still going through the grueling task of learning speech through Midas. Six months of life, almost four spent in solitude, we're hard to make up. The first months were most impressionable.
Nudge of shoulder brought attention back to cheery words and crown bobbed in excited agreement. Had Mystique seen the places he had? Had she seen places he had not? The lining of the meadow would be far enough today. Spring would bring them the presents of new places to explore, with it's muddy lower levels and the better view clear of the all encompassing white. Turning little face to her with a smile. "Let's go!" Using whitened wing to trail along her side and urge her forward, face glowing both figuratively and literally under golden ring of faded glittering light. Prancing forward with a flourish, head raised high to view the world he so wished to discover. Turning and moving sideways in a diagonal direction to keep orbs on her. "There's a lake where the rivers meet?" He hadn't been there yet of course. Offering up the suggestion of a destination to her.
