"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.

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!

Seraphine's ears tipped to the night coated mare as she once more began to talk. As the stranger's words left her mouth the roan began to giggle. Rolls of laughter shaking her stomach as her eyes closed in honest enjoyment. She...She thinks that we.... That we were AFRAID of the deer? The voices laughed along with Seraphine, the break from speaking lasting a few minutes at the least. I... I wasn't afraid of the deer. At that the beast licked her crimson-stained lips. She was still rather upset about missing out on the feast that the deer would have provided. But still she got the quick snack that was the squirrel that had chided her. He was a reasonable kill, enough to satisfy the thirst that was never truly satisfied. He satisfied it enough that when Seraphine looked at the starry mare she did not yearn to did her fangs into her flanks and tear at her sweet flesh. An action that tended to scare off other horses. And to the mare's surprise she was somewhat glad that this constellation velveted creature had not run from her crazed ramblings.
The stranger then said that it was lovely to meet Seraphine and a slight choked laugh escaped the mare before she put it away. Lovely? Few have said that. Seraphine nodded to the voices. They were correct, it had been ages since any equine had commented on the goodness of meeting Seraphine. Few have had the chance. Another true statement. Far too often Seraphine's teeth were wrapped around any equine's throat before they could say anything to her about anything. Just as the star coated mare began to speak her name was when Seraphine chose to try and touch one of the creature's markings. As the roan did this the other creature shied away, tilting her daggered horn down towards Seraphine. The mare tilted her head at the scene. She had never been afraid of any equine and hse wasn't about to start, though the scrappy little mare looked as if she could hold her own. Seraphine flicked her ears upwards and tried to look as unmenacing as she could, a hard task. I meant no harm star mare. They just wanted to know if your stars would burn. The sun burns you know? The beast smiled, allowing sharpened teeth to show, as if speaking of the voices in her head was normal.
At that moment an obsidian stallion strode into the clearing with the two mares, taking a side close to the smaller mare. He introduced himself and mentioned that both he and the other mare were there to recruit for their herd land. Yet all of this fell past deaf ears. He had called the shining mare beautiful. Seraphine snorted hotly. As she did so she noticed a strange black substance dripped from her nostrils. But that was something to think about another time. Seraphine would have called that mare beautiful, could have. She just hadn't yet. And there that disgusting stallion had done it and stolen her thunder. A whispered growl erupted from the creature's throat as she listened to the end of her speech, though she did not ordain it with an answer. Oh shut up! She spoke to the sky, making it known that her outburst was not for either creature in her presence. Though it could have very well been towards the stallion that had taken her moment.
As the starry mare began to speak Seraphine looked at her, ears coming back to a content-forward position. Seraphine was admittedly surprised by the creature's words. The star backed mare invited an invitation for the creature to join her herd, The Basin. The beast hummed out a few lines of laughter and shook her head, ears falling sideways. Oh no no. You... You don't want me to join your herd....She knew from experience that she was never wanted. Seraphine had tried to live with others, after her disease had taken over her mind. But she had never been accepted. She had once even vowed to stop her cannibalistic ways, choosing only to feast on the meat of small woodland creatures. Even that did not work. She was too mad. Too whacked in the head to ever make it as a herd member. Though a part deep inside of her remembered what it was like when she was a child to live in a herd that actually cared for her, didn't treat her like a monster, and she longed for that to occur again. She would never admit that to anyone though, she barely admitted it to herself. Do you? If this mare assured Seraphine that she was wanted, at least for a moment, she would give this a try. Not her fault if it all went to shit.
The star mare then announced that she was a corporal in her land, mentioning that her name was Ki'irha. It was an odd calling that Seraphine could not imagine rolling off her tongue quite the way that Star Girl did. Star Girl it is then... Corporal Star Girl. The mare snickered slightly at her own joke and gave the other mare a sheepish grin.
OOC// That sounds good to me! @Ki'irha @Mortuus Nox @Random Event
