"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!

Astrid Pegasus Mare
Her heart beat rhythmically within her chest and it was like meditation as she stood there taking in the moments of the day warming on her skin. She felt as if any moisture was slowly rising from her back as the rays of the sun pushed through the passing clouds giving her body a chill from time to time that pulsed through her body all the way to the ground. She relaxed her wings allowing her feathers to separate from one another and stretch out at her sides down to the grass where she rested the tips on the ground. Her state was completely detached from anything that was going on around her. There was no way in that moment she could have heard the stallion pushing through the tree line until he was pretty much right on top of her. They pretty much startled each other at that moment and as he rose she did too and even in a somewhat defensive move she struck the air between them with her hooves. She really didn’t mean him any harm. It was a purely a reflex.
Her body fell about the same time as his in an almost choreographed move. The fall was slow and she was able to try and pull in his outline and colors from the blur and haze of her incapable vision. Whatever brow that she had created from the mask across her face furrowed in frustration at the stallion. How dare he do this! Scare me half to death! Her indignant thoughts kept to herself as she tossed her head to move her forelock out from in front of her face. Her ears could not focus on anything but him as he spoke to her and she listened trying to decipher some explanation.
It took but a moment and she already felt horrible for glaring at him. He seemed harmless in this moment though the adrenaline in her body would like to convince her otherwise. She snorted thinking that this was awfully dramatic. It was cute though. He was cute. Stupid hormones.
She shifted her weight and shuffled her hindquarters and feathers somewhat to look more presentable to the unicorn. Puffing her chest out a little and curled her chin to give him a small smile as he spoke the last of his words and she gave a small laugh.
“I feel like this day was going to be my last. I am embarrassed to have reacted as I did. I wish you no harm sir.”
She looked at him through her other eye now, trying to size him up as much as her half blind eyes can allow. She can see he is lighter and his horn is the same but she notices the way he smells the most. Cataloging it for her memory in case she chances upon him in the future. She reaches her muzzle towards him, the whiskers on her face one her main ways to sense someone but quite hopeless if she cannot touch them.
“I am a stranger here so everyone scares me. I am Astrid and please don’t mind my eyes, I am half blind”
She was only reaching out her nose as a gesture to say hello but if he would understand the notion she did not know. Her reactions to him were borderline of an adolescent girl. Impulsive and hasty as she tried to figure out how to properly react.

We need somebody to lean on
We don't have to say goodbye
@cassius Now it's my turn to apologize for the delay. My laptop stopped charging so I had to get it fixed. Just got it back. Hope you still want to get to know little Astrid. :)
