"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!

The obvious fright that scattered her hooves as equally as her fine features plummeted Ricochet's heart into his stomach. Or perhaps his throat, because it felt tight and obstructed as he tried to call out to her, wearily striding out after her, before stopping and pulling back, afraid to give chase lest she truly flee.
Hunched up against himself as he brooded over his rash actions, hooded eyes lifted to meet her as she precariously neared once more. The interval had been seconds, but his heart beat with a renewed fervor that suggested she'd been gone for seasons. He could not bare to lose her to this cold in her condition, certainly not by his part.
Her voice was a delicate patter of tongue on lip, the words and an easy flow of well groomed manners and kindness. He proffered her a sad smile, only too aware of the naivety in which she existed. He wrestled with the decision to shatter that ignorance and thrust her cruelly into the reality of the world, or to keep her safely secure in his shadow and youthfully innocent to the monstrosity of life.
"I apologize for my actions. I did not mean to frighten you, I just lost my temper to see you so..." He exhaled with a tremble. He seemed defeated as he hung his head, mane sliding over his head as if to hide him. "You are deserving of splendor and health, yet you are made to lack. No equine should ever be in want, not so long as I live." It was a true passion that gave him voice, and a raw frustration at the lack of ability to accomplish such a dream.
Eventually he promised her as much as himself.
Her profession of lack of purpose wrecked his heart all the more. He stood not before a strange mare but a sister left beaten and bloody on his homestead. It grieved him in parts no less equal to the anger it gave him. With a shake of his head he rushed to close the gap between them, muzzle poking out to nudge beneath her chin and lift it high, as it should be held. His breath would be warm upon her, his touch gentle, though firm.
"No no no my dear, you have every right to exist. You are beautiful and perfect and powerful. By birthright you are supreme to the others, precious equine that you are..." Ricochet's voice faded, too overwhelmed by the sorrow at seeing such a broken girl that should stand so proud. He felt the bite of his rage and he wished to instill it in her.
"You should not wander these rat ways with your nose to the dirt. I know a flame burns in you still, and if not in you then the fire rages in me and I will ignite you!" Ricochet's tone held an urgency that seemed to imply she might die on the spot if she didn't combust, a strange idea in itself. "Do not let them beat you down! Do not let those unicorns and those pegasus take you. You are better than them, stronger than them, more rightful than them. YOU ARE EQUINE."
