"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.

Rei
Rei's curiosity was beckoned by the siren's call of Africa's playful demeanor. It was the cryptic statement that along with a wink that had thrown her imagination to the skies. She dreamed up many different ways in which this land would live up to the description that it had just been given.
A light fog surrounded Africa hiding her from Rei's sight. So the other pegasus could make fog? Impressive, but not enough for such a build up. Feeling a bit deflated Rei had a slight pout but she remained polite. After all, she couldn't personally call in a mist on a whim. Playfully she blew at the mist moving a small section away. As the remaining mist dispersed a grey parrot fluttered squawking towards her. Stunned she stepped back tossing her head. With her heart hammering in her chest she watched the bird as it took unabashed delight in its flight.
"That couldn't have been what she meant?" Rei muttered to herself while cautiously sniffing the ground where Africa and then the parrot had been. The smell was still the same. For both.
After calling for Africa a few times she looked up to where Silas still perched on his branch. With the look that he gave her she could practically hear him telling her to get over it. The he too took flight.
Worried about being left behind Rei scrambled on the ground to follow. After a few stumbling strides she took to the air. In the beginning of the flight she tried hard not to outright stare at the grey parrot flying in front of her. As time passed she instead became enraptured by the scenery that they passed over.
Her eyes flicked to those that she saw far below on the ground. Rei gasped at some of the strange colored and the strange shaped. Most of them moved with such purpose, happily she dreamed up stories for each of them about where they were going and where they were from. Briefly she wondered how big Helovia was and if she would come face to face with any of those that they passed over.
Her eyes raked curiously over the changing land as it slipped from the lush forest to lakes of fiery lava. Blinking heavily against the rising heat from the surface she stretched her wings widely reveling in the warmth.
Rei felt more content than what she had in ages. The land had taken root in her heart. Already she loved every landmark, tree, and stone as if they were her own.
As the flight continued she watched the parrot slow a bit and she briefly wondered if she should offer a spot on her back for the remainder of the flight. Talking over the wind she called out to the parrot, "I have no idea where we are going, but if you need a break you can hitch a ride with me for a bit." Feeling slightly awkward she smiled at the bird. A moment later another smile gently formed on her face as she watched Silas appear beside the tiring parrot in a clearly supportive gesture.
Once again the land beneath them had changed and now it was a sweltering desert. Rei watched waves hungrily grasp at the land. Surrounded by the fierce elements sat a soft green stretch of thick grasses and vegetation. The parrot angled herself down towards the green and Rei followed suit.
Nervousness churned strong in her stomach as she prepared to land. Normally landing after a long stretch of being in flight would cause one to be a bit nauseous but Rei was feeling it at a completely new level.
After landing the mist returned and rather than a parrot, Africa stood in front of Rei again. Swallowing past a suddenly dry mouth she smiled shakily at the pegasus that had led her here.
"Home." she breathlessly looked about. "It has been some time since I have called anyplace that." She walked a few steps behind Africa thinking of Lytninia. Helovia was a vastly different land.
Was it okay for Rei to call somewhere home before finding her father? Could it be home without her mother or father? A sharp pain flashed through her as she remembered the the pair being together. She remembered a day when the rain had suddenly began to pour down. From her dry place she had watched them coming towards her. Herlov had his wing spread over her mother's ebony body but Leridana had broken into a run leaving the shelter of his wing. She pranced through the downpour laughing after tripping. Playfully she had looked back to see if her father had followed. Of course he had. The two spent half an hour acting like yearlings playing in the mud and rain. Her mother had later trotted proudly through the castle the other pegasi had only smiled and shaken their heads. Rei had slid behind her mother slipping in her mother's trail of mud and water.
A bittersweet smile found its way onto her mottled pink lips. "I came here looking for my father," Rei let out a deep sigh before continuing. It wasn't a sigh so much of sadness as it was one of relief. "I have been looking for him for a long while. I am not forgetting about him, and I am not ending my search. But I am taking a break. Africa, is it wrong for me to do so?" Rei shook her head in frustration. She was five years old, no longer a filly but not far into being a mare either. There was still a yearning in her for guidance from someone. Dreamily she continued,"You should have seen the happiness that my mother and father shared together. I wish to find that for myself. Not necessarily finding it in another but in whatever form it may take. I suppose that flying the nest isn't ever a simple ordeal. I feel as if by going forward I am leaving my parents behind."
"Speaking of things that aren't simple, I see that you are far from a simple mare. Are you a parrot capable of going pegasus, or a pegasus capable of going parrot?"The thought that it could actually be perfectly normal for those here to suddenly change form had occurred to her. Laughing she continued, "I am going to feel rather hum drum if it is normal for Helovians to do such things!"
She was calling a herd in a land that she knew little about home. The idea set her pulse racing in both a way that sent chills of excitement flowing through her from the tips of the stubby whiskers that freckled her nose all of the way to her hooves. Would she be accepted? She had been so comfortable around Africa that she had not considered the others that she may come across. Did the prejudices from her former home exist here? With that thought memories came rushing back leading her to stepping close enough to Africa that she could feel their feathers brushing against one another.
"What are the others in Dragon's Throat like?" Despite her inner concerns Rei strained to keep her voice light.
Blushing she stepped back away from the other pegasus' side and continued with her head held high. First impressions meant a lot after all. She would meet her new her mates with her head high and a bright grin. Someone like Africa wouldn't lead her to those with wicked hearts.
OOC: That would be really neat! I was trying to figure out what role would suit her and then bam you come out with that. I have no idea how or when you would want that brought up but I am definitely all for it!
Magic usage is okay.
Just ask before doing any actions that may cause a great deal of damage first.
I am also okay with being tagged.
