"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.

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!

Careful were his paws that kneaded the grass with quiet precision as he crept along, eyes large and hungry as they zoned in the succulent body of an innocent rabbit. Inari could feel his stomach growling with dinner right before him, tail rigidly flowing side to side until snap and off started the chase. The fox clawed at the ground in effort to try make up for his mistake, disturbing dandelions in puffs of white along the way, but all was futile as his food had gotten a head start and the cub's not yet full grown legs just weren't up for the task. Inari slumped on the floor with a disgruntled look and sad eyes that watched his feast run away, a soft cry leaving his maw as his heart rested into the down beat rhythm of disappointment. White flecks of dandelion seed blew all around him, snagging on his fur making him the source of a hearty laugh from a darkened colt not too far away.
Sacre's expression was one of mirth as he had watched, a wad of grass wedged in his lips, his bonded friend try and fail at catching his dinner before thank the grass for not have legs and a brain to runaway. At least his food was easy to catch and not like poor Inari who, like all omnivores, could live off fruit and berries, but meat was always a welcome addition to the stomach. Inari threw his friend a sharp look of disapproval, which only made Sacre laugh more, before stomping off to sample the berries on a bush nearby whilst his stained so called 'friend' got over his fit.
Eventually, Sacre sighed in brief content happiness before a light frown settled across his features. It was slow days like this that made him wonder if he was actually getting anywhere in his life. Was he just like Inari's attempt to catch the rabbit, a floundering hopeful that amounted to nothing. Teeth clenched at that thought and he cursed his own weaknesses, why couldn't he find the answer to cure his unsatisfied soul that was always left wanting more no matter where he went. Why was relaxing in the sun such a hard thing for him to do? Why did his legs always tremble at the lack of movement, or his mind always tick away over past and future in any free moment? Sacre wished he could find his own answer and grasp real happiness with both hands, the free kind of happiness. In the end, the boy still did not know his path out of many available to him, he had flaws that annoyed him and a thirst to know everything that cursed him to not be able to stand still for a moment.
For now, the bloodstained one looked out across the sun soaked Heavenly Fields and to the mountains beyond, wondering if Roux ever had the same problems.
[Setting: Heavenly Fields on a warm spring afternoon! We can start the spar when they've conversed a little? :3]
