"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.

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!

The timing had not been right, not until now. When it had come, the push towards this place, the girl knew it instinctively, and it brought her comfort. Her ashen friend had told her once that she just knew her name, and the girl had found this hard to understand. Such innate knowledge seemed foreign and impossible. Nothing could be known simple a priori. The world needed to be investigated. Knowledge of the world was out there. It was not stored dormant in her own mind.
At least she hadn't thought so until ... she felt it. A calling. The way the butterfly knows when it is time to emerge from its cocoon, and the way the sapling feels no despair trapped inside of an acorn, the knowledge that was born within her, suddenly stirred. It felt small, unnoticeable, but only just. It was a gentle guiding, a knew way of thinking and being and behaving that the girl could not ignore. It needed to be investigated, and it needed to be here.
So the girl had gone, early in the morning from the Edge, towards the Veins. A place of ancient destruction and new death. But the girl felt no foreboding as she landed upon the rocky shore, no chill of anticipation or unsettled anxiety. She was calm within herself as she normally was. This was where she was meant to be, and she would not rush. She would arrive exactly as she was meant to.
Moving forward the girl cast a golden gaze upon the trees of those whose death had partially contributed to her arrival into the world, but no more so than the tree that marked the place of her half brother. Hototo. She looked upon it with a clinic interest, noting the structure and strength that the growth possessed. The sadness that others felt with regard to the Sky Island events were lost upon her. She understood that they grounded their feelings in the loss of their loved ones but ... they were not lost. Looking at the tree now the girl felt she knew Hototo just as she would have in life. Here he grew - his earthen body in this tree. She had heard that his soul had been taken to dwell with the Gods, but the girl couldn't believe that. They were all just clusters of atoms. Hototo had been rearranged into this tree. Why did they need to split him apart? Why could they not be content with this way of being?
The girl didn't understand.
Life and death were natural, and she vowed to never allow emotions to blind her to the needs of the natural world.
Silently she conjured a few sprites composed of water. They darted gently on the breeze with impressive grace. The girl had been practicing this magic, and now it came much easier to her. The sprites fell upon the trees, watering not only their roots but also their leaves as well.
Smiling the girl closed her eyes, and listened to the world shift all around her. Her magic took hold of her body as soon as she stopped moving, and soon she appeared like a statue, fortified and beautiful next to the living monument of her brother.
Using my VOTG pass.
Private please! And for Earthy <3 I was wondering if he could give her her pauldron+cape, and also to quest for an item! No rush!
