"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.

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!

The little colt jumped to the sound of a new voice, a fillies voice that he had never heard before in his life. Eyes a little wild around the edges, he turned to gaze on the brindled girl who seemed to be enthralled by his moves on the ice. After a moment to pause in shock, Sacre slowly took a few steps towards her, a large boyish grin plastered across his face as for the first time in his life, he had found a friend who was not family. His grin turned into an excited giggle when she asked him to teach her, already fascinated by her eyes that were both gold and white. Like Aramis and Roux. Her body was littered with strange white lines, known as bridling to most, but to Sacre these things were all new. Like the marking on her right eye, she was similar to himself, two weird looking kids born from powerful families. He attempted to walk over to her side, dainty ears of black and crimson curved happily forwards.
"I can try!" He cheered in his boy accents, blue eyes sparkling with excitement as he contemplated the idea of teaching for the first time. It seemed this was to be a day of new things. Though, wasn't teaching for grownups? Sacre wasn't sure what he should say. His tongue suddenly tied. The ebony colt had fallen down the first few times, not that his pride would admit to that, and eventually he'd just got the hang of staying on his feet. What if she did fall over? Or hurt herself?! It would all be his fault and he would have to live with the guilt of hurting the poor filly for the rest of his life.
Sacre would have gone on trailing down the road of imaginary despair if it wasn't for the stripy female who introduced herself as Rhiannon. Or Nonnie, the colt was quite chuffed that he had already made it into her friend books and he turned her name over in his mind, remembering it as the name of his first ever friend and grinning at the thought. "I'm called Sacre! You're my first ever friend, Nonnie. Well, after my brother, but he's my brother so-" he stopped himself from rambling on, turning his head away shyly whilst he marvelled at this new social interaction and flicked his stump of a tail. Spindle like legs bouncing along the thick snow, carefully picking round the icy puddles until they were ready to try sliding again.
"Practise. Father leaves me on my own a lot, so I guess it's a game I've made for myself, but..." he paused to draw in a shaky breath, azure eyes turning back to look at Nonnie with worry. "I wouldn't want you to get hurt" he said quite honestly. Stopping before one of the icy puddles to gaze at it with uncertainty.
