"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!

The snow lashed at his hide with a passion only such a fierce element could have. The chill that the gales brought with them penetrated Naberius right to the bone. Abe loathed cold temperatures, yet he was oddly fond of the hollowness winter held. The absence of life, the desolation of the land, the silence. All of it coalescing into an almost ethereal mural. Naberius wasn’t the type of behemoth to really look into the grandeur of the world on a regular basis but even here, in this abominable and snow laden terrain, he could find a certain beauty. Hot air was expelled from his nostrils allowing steam to billow up and warm his face ever so slightly. Faelene had cautioned him that the journey would be an icy one, and admittedly he wasn’t quite prepared for how true her statement was going to be, but it was nothing he couldn’t handle. Abe had been through much worse and lived to tell the tale which allowed no doubts to deter his confidence that he would survive yet again.
The perspiration that formed on Abe’s pelt seemed to freeze almost as quickly as it was percolated from his pores. Icicles twisted around a few strands of hair amongst his mane and tail, pulling uncomfortably at his flesh. While Naberius’s daggers plowed through the snow he pulled his crania further back against his neck as the winds appeared to escalate in viciousness. Where the hell was this Aurora Basin? Naberius had lost sight of the vixen Faelene awhile back, perhaps he had offended the damsel and she had led him in the wrong direction? Perchance she was cleverer than Abe had given her credit for. This musing was beginning to become a reality to Naberius when unexpectedly the winds broke and he strode into a fissure in the mountain.
The swift change in conditions took Abe quite by surprise and he halted abruptly, his front pistons forming a wide V to steady himself. A few rapid gasps of air were taken by the stallion as his amber voids darted from side to side, observing the cliffs that fortified his twice hued frame from the horrid weather. Hastily modifying his stance so he didn’t look so ridiculous Naberius shook the arctic debris from his coat, tossing his dome and flicking his banner to rid himself of all unwanted passengers. Not being fully successful in his attempt to liberate himself of the icicles however Abe was satisfied for the time being and so he continued forward. Naberius did not expect what he found in the least. As he stepped into the valley he stopped once again, looking around with an intrigued awe. With his lack of expectations for what he would find he would wholly acknowledge that he was pleasantly shocked. Naberius’s honey chasms made their way to the sky above as he beheld the astonishing aurora borealis as it swam through the stygian firmament. It was suddenly clear to him for what the Basin was named.
Lowering his gaze back to the greenery below his eyes fell upon the lake in the middle of the haven and Abe became instantly aware of his intense thirst. Picking up a brisk trot his robust limbs carried his handsome physique towards the crystalline pool; his tongue licked his jaws as it eagerly awaited the cool numbness of the water upon it. In what felt like hours to Naberius was merely minutes when he finally reached the lagoon and sunk his maw into its depths, drinking greedily from its body. The sensation of the frigid liquid gliding down his gullet made the corners of Abe’s lips twist into a contented grin. He could get used to this place.
