"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.

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 spotted pegasus ambled along in a path that her hooves chose on their own accord. Humming an out of tune song that had no meaning and no constant rhythm she waded through the tall grasses that moved like waves against her hocks.
Rei's sense of belonging had grown daily during her time in Helovia. Each day was new and with each rising and setting of the sun some new event had left her in awe.
Her head was held higher than it used to and she moved with more purpose than she ever had before. There was so much possibility rooted in Helovia. It was in this land that Rei knew that she could achieve great things.
Upon the recommendation of another traveler she had met in passing she had traveled to this spot in order to sample the uniquely flavored grasses that grew with the nourishment from the salty surroundings. The sweet grasses with the sour after taste were far better than what the traveler had given them credit for and she hastily moved across the ground munching away mouthful after mouthful.
The sun shifted in the sky and a dark shadow moved across the land she stood on. Too large to be a cloud she furrowed her brow wondering what it could possibly be. In a moment's time the sun was completely blanketed by whatever had passed over and the area dimmed exponentially.
"What in the world?" she raised her head from the grasses she had been munching on and lifted her eyes to the sky. The unblinking attention she directed at the island in the sky did not even falter whenever the sound of hooves reached her ears. Her voice called out to whoever was walking up behind her. "Is this normal?"
In the sky an island was floating by. Her breathe caught in her throat as Lytninia crossed her mind. Could it be that her home had drifted towards Helovia? Her chest tightened at the thought of the hatred rooted in the land seeping into Helovian soil. But no, this island was shaped differently. It was much larger than her former home.
Squinting into the glaring sun she made out the shapes of others heading towards the island. It floated as a broad testament to the flashiness of nature who would go as far as to bend its own rules in order to make a statement regarding its power. Her eyes widened as her eyes fell upon those who lacked wings that were making their way across the sky.
"That cannot be normal."
Stretching her wings out her words became drenched in mischievousness. "Shall we give getting up there a go? I could use some exercise after all of the snacking I did just now." Laughing she walked towards the edge watching as pebbles tumbled from the edge and plummeted into the crashing waves below.
Throwing herself to empty expanse of sky before her, she offered herself as a plaything to gravity. Her mane and tail streamed from behind her as gravity's forces embraced her freckled body tugging it towards the churning waters below. Once she tasted the first spray of salty droplets scatter across her mottled muzzle she fully extended her wings gaining altitude with only a few powerful pumps of her wings.
"Race you there!" Rei called out behind her. She supposed that she could be taken as behaving rather childish but she felt as light as one of the downy feathers that graced her wings. How could one remain heavy when their heart beat so lightly?
