"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!

Something about his immortality made it harder for Tarik to get drunk - specifically, he had to drink a good deal more in a shorter time frame in order to achieve the desired effect on his body. As Sohalia took his own flask from him, he could only stand mystified for a moment. Because of its endless bottom, he wasn't opposed to sharing. Sohalia just hadn't immediately struck him as the sort of mare to take things which were not hers, or to take them without asking.
Though the thought ran in-congruently with the mental picture he was beginning to paint of the pale lady, unsurprisingly he rather found that he liked it. But maybe that was the rum talking. Tarik liked just about everyone more, the more alcohol he had in his system. Earlier, the stallion had put her at about 8 drinks until she was ... fully inebriated shall we say. Tarik had a scale for drunkness when it came to women, a sliding scale that went from "omg are we bffs?" to singing their favourite songs and encouraging you to dance, to offers of .. well, you know, and then finally that deadly line where horse play turns into screaming and angry. Tarik rarely let women drink enough to push themselves into that hateful place, but if Sohalia was just going to help herself perhaps he'd have to be a bit more watchful.
He met her gaze as she drank, cocking a brow and giving her an approving nod. Clearly he was impressed; he, the newcomer here, impressed to see the pristine dove allowing herself to come down to his level.
As she spoke, Tarik rocked back on his heels (subtly pulling away from her. Would she bridge the space, whether consciously or unconsciously?). That she had never seen anything like this here (The Dragon's Throat, or Helovia?) made the stallion curious. He'd never been on a dry continent before, and he wasn't sure that he liked the thought of it.
Another drink, and she was asking him about who he was. "I don't believe I said." He answered mysteriously, and though he was clearly withholding the information intentionally, the amused glisten was still present in his eyes. He bore the weight of her eyes easily, though unlike some stallions, he didn't bother to flex, or shift to show off one side of himself over the other. Tarik who had never been self-conscious, had also never tried to be something other than exactly what he was.
"That-" He said, taking the flask back from her and drinking enough which should have emptied its contents, "-is a tattoo. Or have you never seen those before, either?" A joke. He hoped. "It is a vegvísir>" He answered, his accent easily rolling over the strange vowel sounds. "It is like a guide." Tarik concluded, his eyes focused upon her, rather than darting down to the tattoo that marked his shoulder.

There's a feeling I get, when I look to the west,
and my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen
rings of smoke through the trees, and the voices of those who standing looking.
