"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!

Happenstance was as good of a reason as any for Gaucho. After all, had it not been Levi of the Throat who had found Gaucho wandering through the threshold all those long years ago, his fate could have been much different. He could have been the leader of a different herd, nor perhaps no lead at all. Were that the case, his body would not burn with multiple points of light - all gifts from the Sun God to whom he had pledged his life-long fealty. And so, if it was the Lord of Lights' will that this strangely coloured creature should wash up upon his shores, then so be it.
"Gaucho have shadows that slip in dark places unnoticed. Bucephalus leads our spies - if Misael want that rank, must first speak with him." Of course Gaucho had the authority to place anyone in any rank that he chose, but if Bucephalus was to get along with this fellow, best that he make that call himself. Then again, he very much doubted Bucephalus would turn him down. The black and gold always liked having little birds of knowledge at his disposal, and while Misael did not have wings, something told Gaucho that that wouldn't be a problem.
"Come - Gaucho make Dragon's Throat an island. Once there was a land-bridge connecting it to these shores. No more." On long limbs Gaucho strode towards where the magical bridge could be utilized. Opening a wing, he waved it in front of a pillar of stones. Hidden in his feathers was a key - and when it came close enough to the lock hidden in the rubble, fire suddenly danced through the sky. "Come." Gaucho repeated. When Miseal stepped onto the bridge, wings of harmlessly burning flames would envelope his body, transporting him over to the Throat.
Gaucho liked this impressive display of the Throat's might. The Basin had their sentinels, but those were created by Ulrik. They possessed a mortal magic, rather than the love and might of the Sun God which is what allowed his magical bridge of fire to burn. The Wildfire obviously did not need to utilize the flaming wings, for he had a pair of his own. Lifting off from the sands, Gaucho glided alongside Miseal. The light from each of their wings cast beautiful and sparkling patterns on the raging waters below. Gaucho breathed deeply, inhaling the salty air as they zoomed across the bay. Quickly the bloody sands of the Throat became clear, and Gaucho prepared to land on the ever-warm sands of his home.
I'll mark you as a DT sleuth. Make sure to speak with Bucephalus!
Please tag me in every post! Magic/Force is allowed on Gaucho at any time.
