"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!

Tae was, fairly understandably, late to the meeting.
Despite the blood matting her coat, her muscles which had been pushed to the point of exhaustion, the mandible-marked mare somehow managed to make her way to where Aithniel had already gathered a small crowd. Though Tae's challenge had happened first, and presumably should have finished first, given how unmarred Aithniel's coat appeared, and given that Sikeax was not around, it seemed that only one of their two targets had bothered to put up a fight.
Clearly their mutiny was not for nothing after all. If Sikeax couldn't even be bothered to fight for her right to remain, it was good that she had been forcibly removed. And why shouldn't it have ben Aithniel to do the deed? Who better to challenge the Sun God's demands than his own child? No, despite the ache in her bones, Tae's pale eyes were wide with mirth and pride.
They had done it.
And her own challenge against Volterra? It hardly mattered what the outcome had been. She'd only needed to distract him long enough so that Aithniel could challenge Sikeax unopposed.
With bits of dried blood matted on Tae's lips which were turned upwards in a wolfish snarl, the ghostly girl made her way towards the meeting. Had she known Aithniel was actually her half-sister, she might have felt a great deal more pride for all that they had accomplished. Instead, she merely regarded her as a fellow sister of the sands. And that was good enough.
"Too bad she didn't fight." Tae said, halting near those who had gathered. Mal and Hel sat grinning on either side of her, their dark canine faces focused only on their bonded and herd leader. "But still a victory nonetheless. Congratulations."
Although Tae had ambitions to one day rule this herd as her Father had, something inside of her told her that she was not ready yet. At least, not to lead alongside Aithniel. (Though again, had she known the girl was her sister, she might have had second thoughts). Instead, she voiced the desires she had had during their previous meeting, certain now that she would not receive the same offhanded remark that Sikeax had offered her.
"Despite recent events, I would rather hold the rank of healer, than warrior." She began, her pale gaze staring levelly at Aithniel. "Besides, I don't need to be labeled a warrior to fight." Her ghostly gaze surveyed the crowd, looking for Volterra hoping to give him a wolfish wink. "My Father found power in healing nearer the end of his life. I would follow in those hoofsteps, if you see fit."
tl;dr despite challenging Volterra for gladiator, Tae would like to be a healer.
