"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.

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!

It was a question that had been repeating in his mind for some time now. He’d gone west first, travelling at speed through the air to the Endless Blue. Scouring the night for a shadow that had been taken from him. From them. At first he had been stricken with panic, but now all he had was a heart full of determination and anger for the one who took her away from the confines of her home where she should have been safe. Hector had been travelling for some time, the direction of his enemy unknown, but one way or another he would find the beast and bring justice upon his/her head. He had sent Veci out ahead of him, the boggart was much better at searching in the dark and two pairs of eyes was always better than one. Though Hector often wondered if Veci had any eyes, invisible as he was.
Snorting in exasperation, he turned his direction back towards the Throat, angling North and set a course for Helovia’s Heart. He felt the presence of his bonded briefly as he drifted past and floated off in front, the steadily increasing breeze blowing through his mane picking up familiar scents of the Throat and he gazed towards it with a warm expression tinged with the telling lines of stress. He could not return there until he had found Shadow and retrieved her from whoever had taken her prisoner. It was time for the captor to turn into the captive, time to put all of his training to good use and finally earn his title of General. It was one thing gaining promotion, it was something entirely different earning it day by day.
Away from the Throat hours passed to the steady beat of his wings, senses alert to all around him whilst his mind stayed close to Veci. The land turned from desert to the beginnings of foliage marred by the gaping hole that was the Heart’s centerpiece, a little further away grew tall grasses that could hide the average horse, though Hector himself would probably stick out a little. Something else was here too. Lobes of vibrant orange laced back onto his head and quickly he followed Veci to the ground, bracing himself before placing his hooves upon the bare surface near the fire hole. Nostrils flared as a familiar scent lingered around the area and her frowned, turning towards the Heart as a hole, leonine tail whipping out to the side as he noted the male scent of her captor.
"Apologies, am I late for the party?" Dark sarcasm laced his booming voice as a dangerous smile formed upon his lips, ears still back as tail lashed from side to side. "Fun’s over coward, you’re coming with me." He snarled.
