"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 chiding he got from the feline made his cheeks feel hot and he glanced away from her, watching the flame-wolf that was his shadow for a moment. The sting of abandonment as a foal was one he could still feel well enough, though he had not thought the wounds were still there. And he did not care for how his mind wandered to when he could have tried harder to reach out to his mother. Was the time they spent together while the rest of Helovia was living in the caves not enough? He hadn’t been able to gleen her purpose then and it was just a short time after that when the killings began.
It spoke of his own blame in the murders and this was not a foreign thought to Mesec - long had he agonized over his shortcomings. Always arriving at the scene too late or not at all, not once using the ‘gift’ his guilty mother had given him as they gathered on the sky island. Who was this animal to toss around blame, to assume that in his heart he did not blame himself more than his mother? “I recognize my own guilt in this, do not think that I haven’t carried that with me. I know my own failings but that doesn’t mean that I cannot also see hers.” He retorted with annoyance in his voice - though it did not touch the sadness in his eyes. “What is so wrong for wanting peace, to be free of pain if only for a little while? Why is it childish to believe in justice and balance that does not require murder to achieve? I’m trying to live my life as best as I can.” He did not want to be the lone-wolf demigod that the destruction of the Foothills and the scattering of his family had left him to be so he had joined another herd, he had made friends. He had been inspired into joining a revolution with Ampere to bring about justice. He just did not believe in his mother’s methods and he did not understand why that idea seemed hard for others to understand. They did not have to resort to murder to prove a point. Mesec embraced the mortal half of himself readily, believing he had much more in common with the Helovians than with their Gods. Why was that so terrible?
Immediate suspicion flared within him at the mention of a task and a gift and he noted how quick the feline was to explain that it was not a trap. As if it could be so simple. He had not understood how the last gift he had been given was supposed to help him find a murderer and he did not know what could be done to help him see things as his mother does. “If I failed so thoroughly at stopping the murders, why offer me another gift and another task? I’m not as strong as my cousins are, any one of them would be a better choice.” He was afraid of failing again, of what catastrophic results might come from his shortcomings this time. The fire-wolf that followed him paced behind him in the air and though it was not alive, it seemed to Mesec that it was growing impatient with this lack of movement. More likely, he was projecting his own feelings onto the flames. The desire to abandon this conversation and whatever came next was pulsing within him but it did not yet have a loud enough voice to cause him to stir.
