"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 :: Broken Magic Plot ☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.
☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.
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!

There was a pause between his greeting and Tembovu’s reply. The pause gave Achaius pause, and he watched the other man closely. He sensed no particular ill will in Tembovu’s body language but if he were really unwelcome he acknowledged to himself that he would come off the worse for it. When he did reply, in a rich deep timber that was comfortable and (surprisingly) open Achaius felt the muscles behind his shoulders relax a fraction. He wasn’t actually aware of the tension, until it was gone. Not accustomed to being nervous around strangers he was a little surprised at his own reaction. Maybe the ubiquitous wings and horns were getting under his skin.
Diplomacy was Achaius’ default; he had a well-practiced way of moving and gesturing that came across as poised, and the calculation of it was so much a part of him that it was, in fact, natural. He was accomplished at appearing as he should appear. This was product of long early years of parental correction, example and high expectations. Accomplished, he found that these skills, manners and controlled reactions, opened a lot of doors. As Tembovu spoke and smiled, Achaius acknowledged his words with a reciprocal smile which climbed swiftly across his lips and slipped away again, leaving the impression of it behind in his face.
He glanced around again at the fallen glass. It certainly seemed inconvenient, but remarkable all the same. It added a… surrealness and an ancientness to this place. Cleaning it up seemed like a monumental challenge, but, as Tembovu himself pointed out – he was a monumental sort of creature. He shifted his weight a little and glanced down toward his feet and taking a small step backward scraped his right foot against the muddy ground between them, laying a dirty but shining strip of glass bare. This one must have fallen some time ago, it had since been covered in a shallow layer of dirt – well, mud today. He turned his eyes up from it to Tembovu again and offered a commiserating look of exasperation to him ”Have you ever heard of Sisyphus?” in the legend he was also set an impossible task, of course, his boulder might come in somewhat useful here. He could feel more of this piece shifting under his weight as he leaned onto his right and stepped over a few inches.”My name is Achaius,” he offered a short, precise bow as he said it. “I’m new to Helovia. I met Elsa a little while ago, and she suggested I take a look around.” He did look around as he said it, taking in the trees – with faint green buds waving in the morning breeze beyond them and the muddy green earth. He was pretty sure he could hear surf echoing in the distance. He looked quizzically at the other, his face arranged in polite curiosity. ”Have you lived here long?”and how likely would we be to be impaled by falling glass on any given day?
@TembovuNo problem. Heading into 24h call at work tomorrow myself so will be out of commission for possibly 36h with sleeping/life included after work ends.
