"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 storm blew fiercely against Eden's bodice. She could hear her teeth chatter as she made her way through the blizzard. The mare's silvery coat blended well with the precipitation around her. Her only features that stood out in the storm were her pale gold horn and eyes. Her single golden lock was also prominent. She normally hid it from the world, but in this case, it could not be helped. Her few golden strands stood out like a sore thumb amidst the atmosphere of the storm as they whipped around her horn and face.
The mare kept her head tucked as trekked across the icy land. Her breathing was labored and her muscles ached, but she had no choice other than to continue on. She wasn't sure where she was going, but she knew she had to find shelter. Eden continued on despite her fatigue, often losing her footing in the storm. She knew it was better to die trying to find a shelter than to freeze to death without even attempting to get somewhere safe. Eden actually valued her life. She had a family to find and she couldn't do it dead.
Eden's prayers were quickly answered when she came upon a cave. She breathed a sigh of relief when she spotted the entrance. She approached it without caution, not caring if a bear or a pack of wolves resided there. This mare needed a shelter.
As she approached the entrance to the cave her heart immediately skipped a beat. Her breath went from labored to panicked. Inside the cave were horses. Eden ducked away from the entrance to the cave, not daring to go inside. She could hear their chattering. They seemed happy, and one male even sounded like he was welcoming someone in.
Eden slowly poked her head around the entrance, peeking into the cave with awe, praying none of the horses could see her. She didn't take into account any of their looks or how many of them were in there. All she could see was the fawn. It had smoke coming from it's buds of horns and eyes so pale she wondered if they could even see. It scared her, but it intrigued her. Bits of broken eggshell lay near the little creature. All Eden could assume was that the little deer was magical and had come from an egg. It was strange to infer, but if her brother could have a purple marking then a deer could hatch from an egg, right?
Eden shook her head and backed away from the cave. She didn't know what was going on in there and she didn't want to find out. The storm began to let up slightly as she began to leave. It was enough to let her travel faster, but she knew it wouldn't stay like that for long. Eden picked up her pace and ignored her tired muscles. She would find another shelter, preferably one with less magical deer creatures.
(ooc: erm not sure about when this took place for eden since she's not been accepted by a leader into the herd yet, but I wanted her to see this, so she's just passing by then running off! ^^; )
