"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!

"He... is him. He haunts me, talks to me all the time... like a train of thought. He whispers awful things to me, threatens my life, threatens those I hold dear... He is a demon that I cannot exercise." My skin prickles at his words. Are they a warning? Then inexplicably I am jealous. My brow furrows at the wrong part I am sure because I am hung up on wondering who it is that he holds dear. I was just flattering myself thinking that he had meant the words as a warning. Timothy had only answered my question. I sigh. Why does my heart ache now? "What if I helped you?" My question is no more than a murmur. "The Sun God helped me. Maybe he would help you." He just might have to move to the Throat. I would love that. I wonder what he and those that he holds 'dear' would think about it though. "Even if not there are the other gods!" I am too invested in him to allow him to remain like this. My eyes hold onto his soft green ones pleading with him to accept my offer.
"W-What?" I feel so much colder whenever he leans away from me even though the night isn't all that cold. Especially not whenever we rest so close to the hot spring. "Why? A-After all that I've done. I have been rude to you, I have hurt you, I have shown you that I am nowhere near mentally stable I-" Because there is more to you than all of that. I know that there has to be.[/b] "I really am fine! I promise I am enjo--" I do not finish whenever I notice the expression that has come across his face.
"Timothy?" I start calm but I can feel that slipping away quicker than I can grasp it again. Am I losing him again to whatever it is that haunts him? Seeing tears in his eyes make my own well up. I had been enjoying the moment so much! Why is happiness so fleeting? As he completely pulls away from me to stand once more I stay laying down. Already I feel shrunk down in my sadness and frustration. What is the point in standing. With sad eyes I watch him back further and further away. I wonder if he will disappear from me.
"No... you won't lie to me. I-I don't believe you. What do you want from me? I will g-give it, if you stop lying. I will not be your f-fool." His words strike some of the sadness from me and anger sets me to springing back onto my hooves. I stalk towards him with flashing eyes of molten gold. "I will not make you my fool." Even in this moment my heart does an odd thing, that I do not understand, whenever I use a phrase insinuating to Timothy as being mine. Despite that odd feeling my voice still remains colder than what it has been all night. "I will not make you a fool because you are doing a fantastic job making yourself into one if you believe that, even after everything, I would offer you any ill treatment." I want to drag him closer to me by his feathered tail and at the same time that I want to use it to fling him away. Are all who are like him and I destined to always remain alone?
He wobbles unsteadily and I begrudgingly allow my anger to fade away. "Are you oka--," I scream whenever his eyes roll into his head. It feels as if an entire season passes us by as I watch his body collapse. "Timothy?!" I rush towards him stumbling over every rise and fall of the ground. Panic seizes me as I watch him. Before, whenever he choked, he had been a stranger. He had been someone I would have been sad over if he had choked to death but it would not have left me feeling as alone as it would if something happened to him now. I am selfish. I know it. But having someone else had been a relief. It is not easy for me to open to someone else and I don't want to lose that!
I haven't made him laugh yet. Suddenly that thought makes my heart shatter.
"I am not leaving." I sniff a little as I reiterate my words from earlier, "That means that you cannot either!" I wonder if he even hears me? I clamp my wings tight against my sides and I chew on my lip in distress. I will watch over him.
