"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!

His eyes scanned the foliage with a mild interest, inspecting their new growth with admiration and pity. The stunning shades of green, brown and red that painted the formerly decrepit landscape was rather fascinating in Naberius’s opinion. What must the life of a tree be like? It must be fulfilling knowing you provide life to the entirety of the world, but being stuck in one place? That must be a misery Abe could never truly grasp. Or perhaps he was giving them too much credit in personifying them? They were just plants after all, dull yet influential plants. Naberius stood there gazing into the branches of the trees watching cardinals hop from branch to branch, their amorous song making his ears fall back on his skull.
"How annoying…"
Naberius’s muttered to himself, his deep baritone seemed out of place in this blissful glade. Unexpectedly he overheard wings, much larger than the ones attached to the minute fowls above his head, slicing the atmosphere. Just as suddenly as Abe became aware of the predator so did the others and there was a screech of alarm among the birds. Before they could flee however the hunter was upon them and in the blink of an eye Naberius watched a massive hawk descend from the sky and snatch one of the cardinals from its perch. It took a moment for the shrieks of anguish to die down but when it became silent once more Abe began to laugh. Quietly at first, but hastily his morbid cackle resonated through the glen.
Bereavement had always been a source of amusement for this wicked brute, mortality forever being nothing but a jest to him. Naberius did not fear his passing; actually he looked forward to it. Having been in innumerable battles as well as a few wars in his moderate existence Abe was not unacquainted with death. He had seen it, caused it and enjoyed it. The horn that ornamented his crown being his weapon of choice. Terminating his mirth Naberius scanned the glade yet again, pondering what other carnivores were eagerly awaiting their next kill or presently involved in a slaughter. What a phenomenal world we live in, it truly never ceases to surprise me. Abe mused with a concluding chuckle. Taking a couple steps forward toward a colossal oak Naberius inhaled its earthy scent and sighed. Tilting his head to the left side of the goliath’s trunk Abe lowered his dome and began to sharpen his lengthy horn against the tree’s hide. Slashing into the timber’s skin repetitively with the acute point of his antler Naberius could feel the bark being torn away and coming to rest in his filthy pallid tendrils. Leaving his mark for the world to see.
Desisting in his grooming process Abe exhaled coolly and strode back, pawing the soil austerely when he halted. His honey optics examined the number he had done on the tree and a grin distorted his maw. Naberius was keen to see what this new province had to offer, so far it seemed rather brutal and he ratified it. He had made a legacy for himself in other territories, his charisma and forte with manipulation always getting him where he craved to be. Abe had a good feeling about this domain as well; there was a hint of apprehension in the air and he couldn’t help but think he could take advantage of that. Beings were always so naive when they were distressed, desiring for someone of power to come along and rescue them. Well superman has arrived ladies and gentlemen, and he is dubbed Naberius.
[ ooc: Ugh its been so long since I've posted...sorry for this. Anyone is welcome, I want him to join a herd but I'm not sure which one. He is slightly racist but not to the point he wouldn't consider living with those of another race. ]
