"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.

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!

Midas the one to see you through your darkest times
If only Africa had known that my thoughts mimicked a cry that was vaguely the same as hers. We all had burdens to carry, secrets to keep for the sake of others; yar, I kept my personal matters hidden behind a facade of pleasantries. But that was all the act was; a show of pleasant and polite responses to keep those underneath satisfied, or in most cases worry free. Sometimes, once in a very great while I got the chance to gallop across the skies in abandonment—forget my responsibilities and failures.
I could see unspoken words straining to break free from behind her eyes, it was written in the gentle folds of her delicate structure. She didn’t try to conceal it, because the way she carried herself forward seemed sloppy and distant. Discontentment was a trait that seemed keen on plaguing many of our family of late. Her soft response to my greeting was appropriate, but it lacked a sense of vigor. I lingered for a moment against her warm skin, relishing in the closeness of my ally for a few moments longer than just a polite bump.
Concern wouldn’t be forced to linger unanswered for long, Africa spoke again. My smile fell away when Africa gave a rather blunt indication that I wouldn’t find favor some of her report. My face moved aside, pulling away from her to gaze into those soft eyes with a wash of curious interest perking my ears forward. She mentioned Foothills, a changed opinion on the matter of a transgressing herd becoming our allies. I didn’t see anything wrong with this and simply nodded approvingly as Africa finished speaking about Solace. It would be nice for the rest of our family to see the new Foothills.
She paused, which gave me a chance to praise her efforts, “Aye, ye did excellent; I’m glad to hear your travels bore fruit,” gently my lips curled to offer her a favorable grin.
The Oracle turned away, successfully breaking contact. I bent my skull to follow her direction patiently—waiting for the dreary news she had promised. “I have brought from the Threshold a Unicorn. He has recently escaped the Basin.” Surprise gripped me for a moment longer than expected, ebony ears slipped back against skull as the desert lass went on to defend the unicorn which was obviously in close vicinity. For many long moments I said nothing, only listened to what she had to say.
Africa looked up, though it wasn’t to me; she was staring off toward the sea. Likely where our Basin company stood by. Finally I spoke, my voice slipped out with tender notes for her sake—but behind the tenderness was a cold hardness that she was likely unfamiliar with, “Take me to see this lad. If he is as ye say, then we shall see if our home can be shared with one of Northern blood.” The smiles had vanished from my face, in its place was a stern but relaxed mask. I wouldn’t tolerate a liar in our beds, and too often I’d had seen violence and liars breeding bastard children into this world. “Ye say he has an ailing-mind?”
