"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.

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!

Ktulu heard Archibald before she saw him, but when he finally crashed through the foliage she breathed another sigh of relief. She stood strong, her head raised high as he approached. Despite her resolve to appear strong and capable, hough Archibald already knew she was, her eyes slipped shut as he breathed against her. She sighed again, soaking in his presence and enjoying the brief moment of comfort before he spoke.
"Tell me."
Tell him what, though? That she had thought about him far too often while she was investigating the new lands? That she had missed him terribly while she was away? That he invaded her dreams in the brief hours that she was able to sleep? That she loved him? That she was tired and sore and wanted to sleep for a few days? Or did he simply want to know what she had found in the new lands?
But Ktulu knew the Czar and figured that he likely wanted her report on the new lands before they discussed anything else. She sighed and shifted her weight into a more comfortable position as she thought back on her scouting trip. "I investigated the Blood Falls first. I found several horses from the Rift that wanted to get back to their home, but when I told them that I couldn't help them they became ... agitated." Ktulu began. "I was forced to fight them when they attacked me. I killed one of them before the others ran off." And she felt absolutely no remorse for doing so.
"I didn't find anyone from the Rift in the Labyrinth, but it seems as though predators have moved into the land already. I was tracked by a pack of wolves." Her head tilted as she thought about it. "They take advantage of the landscape. Its easy for them to stay hidden and someone who doesn't know their way around to get lost." She did not want to dwell on the fact that she had gotten turned around afew times while trying to navigate the labyrinth, so she moved on.
"I found very little in the Flats. The island was the biggest pain in the ass to get to" She continued on. "I did find others on the island, but they were no trouble. The biggest issues is fighting the current to get there and back. I'll keep that in mind when I assign patrols." Because she did not want to send someone weak to fight the currents.
"I ran into trouble on my way back here, though." Ktulu said. "A stallion collecting mares and offering protection." She scoffed and rolled her eyes. "I had to fight him when I refused to join his harem." She should have killed him, but it was done and there was no going back.
She had only just finished giving her report when she heard "PAPA!" The voice made her turn and she blinked as she watched her son running toward her with a bear cub in tow. How long had she been gone? "Murtagh..." Eytan grunted and lumbered forward to meet the other cub, the newest addition to their family. "Yeah, I'm okay." She answered then grinned. "You finally found your cub, huh. What's her name?"
"Welcome home."
Ktulu's head turned and her body froze as she took in the form of the mare that she loved. "Kota..." She murmured the other mare's name and remained still as her wounds were tended to. After a moment, though, Ktulu sighed and nuzzled Lakota's ears. "I love you." She whispered, because after being gone for so long she needed to say it and Kota needed to hear it.
