"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!

There’s a quick flurry of happiness and the distant feeling of pride when Volterra admits that Vérzés feels just the same towards them. It even works to throw a smile on her lips. At least Hobgoblin likes someone other than herself and her children, and it only makes her happier that he manages to get along well with someone she’s close to’s companion because in any other terms, it’d be next to impossible to achieve that.
But nonetheless, Sikeax doesn't nothing to stop a small laugh from coming out at the statement.
He offers some reassurance though, her ears pushed forward as skin grazes against skin, drinking in the strong smell of sweat and sand that's been burned into him, probably from the time he's spent in the Dragon's Throat now. Either way, it brings the quiet suffering of remembering that that's something that would be next to impossible to go back to, and that nearly all the people she's ever truly, deeply cared for are there without her, knowing she's gone and having to live a life that she's painfully vacant from. It etches a pained frown against her face, one that she tries her best to hide from him.
Hobgoblin offers no comfort in the meantime, and she doesn't blame him, but his yellow eyes feel cold on her skin despite how warm Volterra is.
Then there's the silence. Her chest finds that familiar ache again and goes back at it, lashing out at her for such an obvious display of emotion when their relationship has been (believably)nothing but strained from the beginning. She'd been right, some things are better left unsaid. “I'm sorry" creeps out of her lips as the pressure of his body against her own builds, subconsciously returning it with equal pressure. “I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, if I did." "Shut up. Show other way?"
She nearly doesn't want to listen to him saying it, reminded of what happened last time she did anything of that sense with him. Zhu had come forth, and while she loves to admit that her only biological son was a miracle in a sea of pain and mistakes, it scares her to take that plunge again.
Except the last few times she's been around Volterra and his children are around, he's been a good enough father. So, if the unevitable did occur, she could at least hope that his change of mind plays out better this time.
Not to mention, it wouldn't hurt to give him another chance. He's definitely proven himself a million times over, so with a touch of fear firmly embedded in her, and Hobgoblin's quiet encouragement, she gives in, giving him the go-ahead with her hips gently pressing into his body. “Go ahead." confirms her decision, holding a touch of anxiety in it, risen from the only other time she's let this happen with him.
OOC: it's cool, i'm pretty sure this is the worst thing i've written in forever but dark and i are impatient c':
