"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!

Frostfall came and Himitsu was thankful for it. She still had not adjusted to being on her own well and the weight lost had still not returned to her sides. The unicorn was grateful for her thicker coat that hid her less than satisfactory state. Nor had her attitude righted itself; it was as bitter as the wind of Frostfall and had just as much bite. Himitsu held no fondness towards those who had given her ill treatment. No she could not like them but the young mare also could not condemn them for she would do no different to them if she ever came across them again. Himitsu was not noble enough to offer Helovia's wicked hearted the simplicity of hate and was not wise enough to muster up forgiveness.
She had wandered into the Halycon Flats by mistake. The beauty of the land was lost upon her. The seabirds that called out were surely calling for Himitsu to leave their paradise. She gave up on her search for the way she had came simply to spite the birds. The weather was too cold to get wet so she stood idly where the sand rose slightly above the shallow water with ears spinning this way and that to pick up every frustrated sounding call.
For a while Himitsu enjoyed her game with the stupid birds. What useless creatures she thought them to be. Just Himitsu found all with wings to be. But eventually she did tire of their shouting. "Calla't." The first time that she told them to shut up was a growl. "Calla't! Calla't!" But she soon resorted to shouting. Their horrendous squawking was too much for her sensitive hearing. Snorting and bucking Himitsu fled from the unrelenting cries of the sky rats.
Her retreat began once more and she desperately tried to leave but was still unable to figure out which way she had came in from. Himitsu's search was ended shortly whenever she tripped over a body that she had missed sensing due to her upset.
She had felt how terribly soaked the stranger was whenever her legs had unexpectedly found the body. "Why are you so wet?" Himitsu had no eyes and saw no sense for offering the pretense of sight. Not whenever her lack of it was so obvious. So from where she had fallen Himitsu did not move. Her sweet mother, so concerned with what others thought, had made Himitsu face those who spoke to her face on. Aki had pleaded with her daughter, so few had been willing to see Himitsu as anything other than a monster and she did not want to lose those few. Now her mother was not around to utter such senseless prattle. Others would think what they would. Himitsu would do as she wanted. What Himitsu and those that she met chose to do would not change either. "Surely you did not swim." A deep frown came across her features. "To swim in Frostfall would be neci." A smirk came easily to her lips as she prepared to translate her own insult. "Foolish." Standing up Himitsu shook herself free of the water that clung to her coat; not caring if she further wet the one who still laid. The stranger was likely to greet her with unkindness so why should she offer any different?
OOC: @Adria your post was amazing! It gave me so much muse for all of my characters that it took me ages to decide who to post with. Caenan will probably come in too. Sorry that this post isn't all that great I am trying to reconnect with Himitsu.
