"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!

With the sun setting at our backs, the plan forged between Basin and Edge was beginning to unfold. Words of an invasion had come quickly and unexpectantly, but at the command of our King and Queen, I forthwith their wishes.
As Archibald led our forces into the Falls, I kept to the right and back from him and his compatriots, walking quietly as heavy feet could allow amongst my brothers and sisters. The winged, pale-eyed Pegasus I knew only from meetings; Resplendence, our beloved Moon Doctor whom I could only imagine how very much she disapproved of the violence about to ensue, and whom I prayed would be untouched throughout it all; Romani, the golden lady that sent my heart aflutter and that was very much capable of handling her own despite her stature; and then there was Kaj, the giant of a King, my brother who I still thought so dearly of, that I wished to apologize and explain myself to... Hopefully I could get my chance sooner than later, after all was said and done.
Flashing before my eyes came an image of our blackened King coming to a halt ahead, garnering my feet to do the same. Suli had made perch in the cover of the trees as we awaited the signal to make our move, and with baited breath I watched as the members of the Falls herd approached one by one to see their false Czar and the equally false offers brought before them. As we waited, my attention drifted briefly to that of Romani who I stood beside, and reaching out, I pressed my nose into her neck. A simple show of encouragement to my fellow warrior, a promise that we would be the victors, perhaps something more as my heart would say... But then it came.
The slightest adjustment followed by the sudden charge of the Dauntless; the time to fight was now, and I would not let my family nor my allies down a single time more.
Charging forth, feathered feet carried my bulk through the trees and into view with the rest and I search at once for an opponent. The grass was still dry but would soon become wet with dew, and I tucked the knowledge into the back of my mind. Uncaring of who it was, be they large or small, so long as they were not a child or somebody trembling in absolute, obvious terror, I made to target whoever was closest.
Suli came swooping down silently from the skies before me, blowing a jet of flame between myself and our foe with the intentions not only to burn, but to distract and momentarily blind them as I made a move of my own. Shifting my weight to the right as I charged head-on, so that I may be to their left, I aimed a swift kick at the barrel in passing before slowing myself enough to get turned back around, intending to face my adversary and ready myself to either attack or defend.
