"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!

No matter what we breed, we are still made of greed This is my kindom come, this is my kindom come
She listened as if the words he spoke were going to evaporate at any moment. She feared the worst because as he went on the dismal outlook of the Foothills was becoming all too evident. Her heart began to pound at the idea of being completely helpless. She had only met this stallion a mere few hours ago and yet she felt that he was her only hope. Soaking up his warmth for a moment more, she moved into the shade of a large oak. It looked to be the last of its kind standing amongst the barren hills and somehow she felt that the metaphor suited them perfectly. Argetlam was loyal to these lands even when all others had turned tail to run. She decided that she wouldn’t leave his side in this time of need because she felt an ominous brooding in the air. Something was going on, even if they couldn’t see it at eye level. But Argetlam was pressing onwards, moving past the turmoil to debate the brighter side, such as their friendship. She was glad to find a confidante in him because he made her feel at ease. No matter where they went beyond that day, she would always carry him in her heart.
“We will remedy whatever gets in our way. I see that kind of worth in you.” Her smile seemed to curve only slightly now as she thought about the many things he had told her. No lead, no nurse, no shadow, no storyteller and yet they were still picking off even those warriors amongst their ranks? What in the hell was going on? She could see where others would find loopholes in their structure but all they needed was a little time to regroup… but of course they wouldn’t be given that kind of courtesy when a prime herd land was at stake.
“Then we must fight it. We must find something to use against those who find us weak. You may not believe in war my friend, but now that is it upon our door, how do you plan to respond to it?” Her gaze seemed to drift off into the distance while she pondered. There was so much to debate. Without a lead there was no possibility of promotion and without a Shadow they were just sitting ducks, waiting to be plucked at a moment’s whim. She moved from the shade and began to meander through the trees again seeking refuge from the heat. She felt as if she needed a little time to let everything soak in and so she turned to gaze into Argetlam’s welcoming face. Trusted friend he was, but sometimes she needed a bit of time to think to herself. Maybe there was an answer for this and maybe there was way to avoid the inevitable, but she decided that it would be best for the two to part ways until she had had time to cool off.
After all, this was a time when everyone’s heart was set to racing, not just hers. She turned and elegant face towards him before bowing slightly. “I plan to rest the next couple of days to recuperate from my travels but we must find out where we stand before everything is taken from us, not just Willow and Romani.” Her eyes spoke volumes because in her heart she didn’t want to leave but her limbs grew stiff with weariness and she was more than ready to lie down for a few hours of rest. She looked off into the dunes one last time before asking, “Would you like to accompany me?” She guessed it wouldn’t be that much of shock due to her sense of worry and perhaps she didn’t need as much alone time as she thought… maybe she needed the company to keep her sane.
OOC | I'm going to go ahead and close this because I'm getting swamped with posts but I'll still be replying in the Herd Meeting.
