"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!

I have hovered at the edge of the Threshold for some time. I would be unable to say for how long if asked. Time passes differently whenever you are by yourself. Time spent by yourself also grants you further knowledge of yourself. There is no one else to tell you who or what you are so you have to decide for yourself.
"For how long am I in debt?" I imagine that my question is small nothing once it finally reaches the sun. My face is upturned as though I could actually see my question reach its destination. My lashes reach for one another attempting to shield my eyes from it. They are all of me that is willing to stand against the sun. The rest of me is simply thankful for the chance at life he has given. For the first time in my life, thanks to the fiery god, I had experienced the thrill of running until I could no longer. That exhilaration is what had carried me away from Helovia. I had ran until my legs trembled and I had then flown until my wings could carry my weight no longer.
I did not know what land it was that I found myself in but I had made myself a temporary presence in a place where my heart troubles were never known. It was a place where I had been known for my own actions or lack of them. I had made friends that never regarded me with curious pity or concern. To them I was quiet and distanced from most things but I was normal and to them I had always been normal.
But I had lived with fear always in the back of my mind. Fear of my condition returning. The God of the Sun had healed my heart in return for living in his domain. Does he know I left the Dragon's Throat? Does he know that living in the land had started to feel as though I were imprisoned in the clutch of a dragon? Would he care? Or was I just another member won to him? Would he take his gift back now that my hooves and wings insisted on carrying me to new places?
A sigh leapt from my lips and trembled in the OrangeMoon air. The question seemed to constantly repeat itself; for how long will I be indebted to the God of the Sun? I hover on the edge of the Threshold where I have hidden myself away to think since my return but now I know that it is time to move forward. Obligation and fear calls for me to return to the Dragon's Throat and my love for water pleads for me to go anywhere but the desert with a puddle of an 'Oasis'. I could remain an Outcast but I yearn to be something more than I am now. Something called me back to Helovia for a reason. I am meant to do something here. I will make my choice as to where to go and then I will seek out my family and friends.
Evangeline. Ruske. Erebos. They are names that have not faded from memory. I wonder if Evangeline still lives in The Edge? Has Ruske returned? Erebos. My first friend. Am I still in his memory? By now Erebos would be a young stallion, a two year old like myself. My water walker. A soft smile comes across my lips led to existence by the memory of our meeting. Reminiscing I flap my wings a few times bringing fire to life under my wings. We'd had such fun showing our magic to one another.
NOTES: Here it is! My very first Faeanne post. Why is it that she was easier to write than some of my characters that I dreamt up myself? I hope that I live up to how wonderfully she was written by Semper.
