"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!

Perhaps the most difficult thing she had done in her entire life was keeping her voice neutral even as the words tumbled out. She hadn't actually meant to say them - but as soon as the thought pulsed in her vast mind her lips were spewing the related sounds. It was all that she could do to force her tone to be even and without the bitter angry or irony that she felt in her veins. As it was, Volterra probably would even do a better job than she could, in this regard. "He's large. The biggest in all of Helovia I imagine. He makes me look normal-sized. He is .." The demigoddess paused, searching for the right string of adjectives to describe the earthen diety. Most of them she plucked from conversations with others, for she felt no real strong thoughts about him one way or another. Well, except that he had blurted her name out once, in front of an entire group, and she had felt the first stirrings of hate in her belly for that misstep. "..very kind. The Earth God is understanding and forgiving. He is probably the most level-headed of the Gods, though his fault is that he wants to see the best in everyone."
Is that the answer you were looking for? She wondered, staring into the depths of Kid's uncharted bubblegum stare.
Well... isn't it kind of pointless to have representatives here when they don't even know what they're doing? She shrugs. "I doubt trees know what they are doing when they grow large and domineering. And the gravity doesn't know what it's doing when it pushes the ocean around, but they're still needed."
Kid? His name was Kid? Ironic that he took offense to boy.
"They call me The Mountain that Knows." She responded, for once having a name that she wasn't disinclined to give out. And in a way, it was just as good as her 'real' name. It was given to her, it was what she was called - how was that importantly different than any other name? Sure, it was longer than most, but the boy in front of her had an adjective for a name, so she didn't really think he was in a position to judge it. Though she is mildly surprised that he asked rather than demanding it. At the beginning of their conversation she would have judged him boisterous and pig-headed, though now that his inquisitive mind was beginning to show and he was demonstrating some restraint of the racism he seemed to harbour, she was actually finding him more or less pleasant. At least as pleasant as Isopia could find anyone.
Iso nodded complacently enough with his characterization of child-minded topics. She hadn't engaged with many children ... just Volterra (she swallowed hard) and Zero (this brought a soothing sigh from her lips), and both, at the time, had been pleasant but likely unusual.
"It is misleading," She agreed with something like a smirk. "I don't think it's a lie ... I think at one time it was a requirement of this position that it tell stories ... stories of history and legends and whatnot. I'll tell history if it's needed, but only real history. Not a fantastical version. " Another shrug.
"I've won some and lost some." She replied simply, unsure of how to characterize 'good' in this context. "But being large isn't all there is to winning." Isopia continued, as if assuming (correctly as it turned out) that he was thinking about her size in relationship to her win-streak.
Isopia pondered his final question, not sensing any of his frustration - not even the subtle grinding of his teeth. She was enjoying this, and, since he kept asking her questions, assumed that he was as well. It hadn't occurred to her that if perhaps her answers were more informative, he wouldn't have to keep posing new questions.
She began to say, Of course she was approachable. We had to approach each other in order to speak- But Hubris trilled with amusement in her mind as these thoughts began to form. He shook his head, indicating that she had got it wrong, but, since he was unable to articulate his thoughts, left it to her to puzzle out what it was.
"Yes?" Isopia replied, shooting a glance towards Hubris who nodded before inspecting his claws once again. "She was ... fine? She had questions about the herd ... She asked what a storyteller was as well. Nymeria said that she wanted a purpose and wondered if her brother - your fa-" (again, nearly that same mistake) "-Volterra lived in the Falls. He didn't - and doesn't "(she added quickly) and that was that. I told her where to go as she wanted to learn more about becoming a spy, and -" She shrugged with her massive wings again, That was that.
