"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.

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!

*"Laila, Luken…You were both blessed with big hearts from day one, and my words could never express how proud I truly feel of you both. One day, you will make remarkable warriors. This I know."*
Her neck still strained so that she could look her father in the eye, Laila’s body shifted and she took a few energetic steps backwards, forwards, left, and right; her excitement with his words caused her body to move, filled with such sincere happiness with his satisfaction. Some small part in her mind had dreaded hearing The Words—the ones Laila dreamt of on dark nights when her mind was weakest and besieged with unpleasant thoughts and memories. “You’re a girl; it’s too dangerous for you.” Laila didn’t know where that sentence had snuck into her mind; not once in her life had either of her parents displayed any inclination to bar the black filly from her desires. They were both open-minded adults, something Laila was profoundly thankful for—this sentence was probably just some wayward worry that solidified itself into a coherent phrase.
Such was the curse of insecurity. No longer could Laila blindly trust and assume facts in her life; there was always a tiny voice of doubt now in the back of her head, a mere sense that itched whenever she listened to someone speak. Suppose it was healthy for the filly to develop such a sense early on; it would help her survive and mature at a secure, steady rate. Even though she was now unaware of the bittersweet ache of growing up, as Laila looked into the face of her father Destrier, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of desperation, as though this was the world’s last chance for redemption. If she couldn’t trust her father’s word….who could she trust?
Luken? Always
*"How much do you two know about fighting, anyway?”*
Laila opened her mouth to speak, blurting out her answer without preamble, “Not a thing, father!” Then she paused, her face frozen with wide eyes; it was such a personal revelation that she felt somewhat shamed by it. She truly didn’t know much about fighting—heck, she could barely get her limbs to move in a smooth gait without a second thought. Sudden, childish panic gripped her chest; was she really cut out for warrior-hood if she didn’t know a thing about the art? But then her father spoke again, and Laila gave him her attention once more.
*“Perhaps it is time I test this."*
“Oh will you Daddy?” Laila asked, suddenly excited again; her frizzy tail gave a tiny jump in her sudden happiness. The idea of her father training them—actually giving them on-the-ground advice—strengthened her confidence and resolve all the more; some idea formed in her head that, if Destrier were the one to train and test them, then somehow she would display hitherto undiscovered skills in regards to battle and the fine arts of fighting. She threw Luken a look of pure, unadulterated excitement, as though beaming her thoughts to him with the intensity of her chocolate brown stare. Can you just imagine it? Training with dad! Isn’t it incredible?!
