"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 hurt feelings would have been hard for the bright honey brown eyes to miss. The girl gazed between the two mares and her king. The tension was almost palpable. Call it mother's intuition or whatever, but she felt her king needed to be reassured. Shifting slightly closer to his large golden frame the winged mare smiled lightly gazing, for a moment up at him. Delicate ears had clearly missed the first words, having only just arrived on the scene. It became clear to her, even as she stood inches away from her King, that they were here for something. The scaly white and gold girl spoke saying they would pay the Edge. Tilting her head Parelia smiled as it sank in. They were here for her skills. Feeling nervous Parelia ruffled her wings glancing up at her leader. Did he know his crafter had only made one other thing before in her short carrier? This was a very important item she had to make this time around. It was for a Quest from the God's! What if she messed it up and it came out looking like a Gulping softly Parelia nodded, for speaking as well, "Friends, and family, do not need to pay for such a small thing." Her voice was warm a smile playing over gentle features.
As blue skies turned to gaze at her, before gesturing towards the shattered wall. Taking a deep breath the new crafter moved slowly towards the sparkling fragments. 'What would be something that the Dragon's Throat might like?' Penna cooed softly rubbing his beak on her smooth cremello and white neck. Sun and moon, that's what they both represented. Excitement pounded through the dove as an image bloomed in her mind. Focusing hard willing the close to move, honey oculars closed. Frowning as the glass slowly shifted under her mental power. First a small circle, thickening until the outside edge fanned into flame like structures. Opening her eyes she gazed down at it checking to make sure it was as flawless as possible, before moving to the next section. A crescent moon slowly took shape as sweat soaked through her light coat. This was so much more difficult than her fire magic.
After what seemed like years the small charms were complete. The sun, with flame rays, was attached to a crescent moon with a few intricate swirls. Panting Parelia opened her eyes smiling tiredly down at her creation. Dropping her dished head she tenderly picked up the item before turning back tot he visiting mares. Gently placing the glass token between the two a warm smile covered her delicate face. "I hope this suits what you were hopping for." Her voice was hopeful, even as it dripped with exhaustion. The token had a meaning she hopped they would all understand, but just to make sure. "I wanted to embody how close our families are, how fragile, and how sacred that tie is." Stepping back to stand beside her king the mare cast a glance up at him. Hopefully she hadn't over stepped her boundaries with her words.
