"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!

Of course the last thing she expected to happen as she looked down upon the rippling steaming water, was to look up and see a creature running at her. Immediately, she lowered her head and glanced away from the ebony colt as he approached, doing her best to ignore the boy in all his wild splendor. He wasn’t Kianzo, so that was great news. He wasn’t anyone she had known yet and she began to feel the persistence of her inner conscious urging her to talk to him. But she refused, for the moment anyhow. She stood, watching the water while her companion blatantly stared at the colt. He stood beside a rock along the ledge, a tiny ball of fluff and feathers with black legs and blackish yellow eyes that sensed every movement like a motion detector. He clicked his black beak briefly, trying to get his bonded’s attention even though she knew he was standing there. But he wasn’t moving, so she refused to. Instead she continued to watch her reflection for however long it took for the colt to move again.
It appeared two could play at this game. When he began to move, she looked up at him. Ivory striped face with the dark nub of a horn trying to grow in between her brow facing him and watching him as he ignored her! How strange was this interaction! She watched him, then, oceanic eyes staring at his dark ebony hide except for a few ivory spots here and there. He was nearly all black and it intrigued her. Almost everyone she had seen so far had at mostly lighter colored pelts. Except for Deimos of course, but he was a lord so it made sense! Was this colt the child of a King too?
He hopped up near the water and put his head down toward it, blowing at the water. Kiada immediately looked back down to see the ripples dance across her reflection from the swirling sensation the colt had begun. Cocking her head she looked back up at him for a moment. “I kinda wanna go in. But it’s hot out here and it’s hot in there.” She thought aloud, pointing her question directly at the colt. Her oceanic eyes bright and almost smiley as she pushed her thoughts aside to make a new friend – regardless if Kianzo would argue with her later. The more people they knew, the better for their takeover. He didn’t realize it yet, but one day he would and he would be thankful.
“What do you think?” She questioned, eyes washing over him. He had wings like the man in the Threshold! But he also had a horn that the other man from the Edge didn’t and it confused her. So she peered closer at him for a few seconds if he allowed her, ivory rimmed ears perked and standing straight toward him if he were to say something. Maybe he knew her father too! And if his father was a King, maybe they could be great friends since her father was a King too! But of course thoughts like that made the filly feel a swift change of emotion. The flames that licked across her back that were originally little deer had shifted to a more mournful kind of display of a vulture like Khairi was. They sat along her back, made entirely of harmless flame, observing with unseeing eyes the area around them in a split second of sadness. She hadn’t met her father yet, but she had heard of him. She began to wonder how Kings treated their children, and thought about asking the colt in front of her but she didn’t want to be rude. So she stood and waited with a slight flick of her tail.
