"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!

The Fallen Angel
The sound of thunder, not from the heavens but from below rumbled in the soft velvet lobes upon the babes head. The voice of her mother calling out, Nato! Father? Panic quickly flooded the bones of the twins, as they were quickly backed away into the tall shrouding grasses of the glade. The dual toned stallion, her father that only moments ago had given her an amulet, was now shoving them into the cover of foliage and demanding them to stay. Her father gave her a sorrowful gaze and a gentle nuzzle, his words stern but loving. “I will be back for you, Athenä.. Ares. Stay.” He retracted away, and turned to gallop into the distance. Confused, scared and unsure, she cuddled against her brother and his new bear cape, the sounds of danger, squeals of pain rumbling through the air. Ares, whom was at her side couldn’t take the confinement anymore without his dam, and jumped from the cover of the emerald blades and into the direction of his dam.
”No Ares! Go back! Get away from here!” Her mother’s voice cried out, and in terror she backed farther into the grass, violet eyes peeking just above their pointed blades to see the drama unfold. In a bleat, a cry for help, for comfort I cried out to my parents, to my brother. A struggle, a fight had broken out between a group of strangers, Quinn being chased away while Nato battled against a stallion. Ares, having shown himself was now being confronted by another equine, thin and elderly the mare demanded the child follow her. It was too much, all this to take in- they were just playing a game and now hell had broken loose. As soon as the obsidian mare turned to gaze into the direction of Athenä, she tucked down closer to the ground, legs buckling as she lowered her head and plopped to her belly. Shivvering, praying, tears streaming from her vivid purple eyes as she did her best to muffle her cries.
They had been taken, they were running away, and without her.
Silence had settled in, the voice of her father ringing in the back of her mind to stay put, to wait for him. The sounds of night were approaching, crickets chirping, it was oddly peaceful. Exhausted, she staggered to her feet, hungry and bleeding emotions, tears swelling in her eyes as she gazed around to find herself alone. "Momma?" Her voice shaky as tears streamed down her dusty cheeks. "Ahwes?" She cried aloud, lobes flicking wildly upon her tiny skull as she listened to any response that might answer her.
Darkness shrouded the child now, the star covered blanket had stretched upon the sky as the sun set in the west. Alone and sobbing, the sounds of the night coming to life, she appeared stressed, walking in circles and turning every so often to gaze into the direction her parents, and brother were taken. Her stomach rumbled and itched with pain, she was hungry and tired. Reaching a nearby stream, she walked slowly to its edge, glowing violet eyes gazing down upon her reflection as a tear fell into the pool.
"Stay." She frowned, eyes closing as she turned away from the stream and walked steadily back to the tall grasses. ’Daddy will return for me… he must..'
