"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!

The words flowed freely from my mouth. Noises made, communication heard, and comprehension left unspoken with only body language to indicate what was bound to occur. I fell into this cycle of repetition: politeness in front of strangers was key as mama had often drilled into my skull. Until the short-term thought was no more, it rattled my vulnerable musings of foreign topics compared to communication. I chattered before, and it was how most could grasp what I wanted whether it was to go off and frolic with my fellow playmates, or question what my curiosity pulled myself through and through. Sometimes I regretted to grasp the true concepts behind silence.
As always, my vision focused briefly on the bird - Silas - sometimes darting focus in another direction. I caught wind of his urgency unless my ability to observe needed work. It was unusually elating; satisfying my inner boy, and contributing to a silent fantasy. The fantasy? I conjured a fabricated future where I could admit that I met an avian companion during my rites. The whole process upon a feathered creature could get tedious after some time. Instead, I turned to other topics: the sunlight; and the warmth surely cooked the tender skin beneath my fur by now.
Africa had caught my attention again. I habitually caught myself off-guard more times than I should, but the heeded words lingered, and tapped against the surface where the boundaries were laid for forgotten lines and others stalled to remain longer. Her face was genuinely benign, and it reminded me of those back home with soft expressions. Homesickness was quick to surface, but instinct reminded me that life wasn't exactly going to return to former times. Still, her words made my excitement increase with minimum, voluntary effort.
My bottom jaw was quick to drop open, but the hinges still worked if I wanted to muster up a reply. Glee enveloped me in its positive feeling. Eventually, I could say something, "A home?" Obviously, I took to flattery which was openly willing to leak into my mild expression. The offer was more appealing, and my heart swelled, "I get to join your herd?"
The sore muscles bunched as I lifted my legs one by one. I bent a few in a gradual fashion to eventually transform into an excitable dance. I would escape this foreign region on a valiant journey! My eyes trailed towards her actions. Her movements indicated a shift in direction. I mimicked her movements until the front view faced the south of the tree labyrinth. Every small detail in how her gait transformed was mimicked - the unsteady transition into a trot before I struggled to catch up by converting to a full-blown gallop. My chest expanded to allow oxygen to inhabit my lungs.
The start was difficult all around. Another trial needed to be overcome near the end. The rites of passage was now over because I had found the finish line.
