"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!

It was bone chilling, the way the cold settled over his shoulders like a cape meant for the dead. He shivered not because he felt the chill but because he feared what lie ahead. His thoughts trailed from Confutatis and the way she felt against his skin to entertain darker ideas meant for wonder and contemplation. Love, sex, and other things were often topics that required minimal thought, especially to the male population (and some females as well). It was often a physical concept that did not weigh too heavily on any one individual’s mind simply because in this kingdom of Helovia, creatures were guided by the intimate sensation of touch alone. But the sunless skies were something that threatened even the most confident of animals such as Déodat himself. It stole away the primitive feeling of arousal and made him slack with worry.
His shoulders seemed to sag and his eyes seemed to cloud until there was nothing but a ghostly shell of the beast left standing there in the darkness with not moonlight to guide his eye. Maybe he was just the reincarnation of his father, but at least he felt pity, he felt shame. He did not want to face the dangers a life spent in the dark and perhaps that’s why he felt the sudden urge to reveal all that made him feel alone. It was a frightening thing for him to confess, but his past was what made him the creature he was today, as abysmal as it was.
There were few individuals on this earth that knew of him so intimately and though he did not share such information freely, perhaps this was now the time and place. After all, the pair was destined to part and see nothing of each other ever again, so what would it hurt? Slowly, all traces of the present withdrew from his face and he was clouded by the past. He was trapped between wanting to share himself in the name of feeling as though death was eminent and keeping this wolfish mare at a distance as she should be.
Had he gone mad?
It was a tempting idea- to let her in and feel more than just the ice and the cold. But of course, instinct and morality won out and he was one again rigid and speechless beside her. They were inevitably segregated not only because of their race, but because of the vow he’d taken when he’d happened upon the Basin. His family, his life, and his conscious were all devoted to the cause. They were infinitely more significant and somehow he’d been able to forget that for a moment only to be reminded by the harshest of realities. “I don’t think the sun will rise again today… or ever. I’m not sure what’s going on but I do know that there’s more to it than a simple shift in planetary alignment.”
His words were grim and plagued with distress. He needed to get back to the Basin soon before the world came crashing down around them. “However, I don’t think that is has a thing to do with the coming together of two opposing creatures my wolfish girl, I am still quite aware of your misleading. You are still just as insignificant to me as the moment we met… Don’t try to make reason from your injustice. You are what you are and though I will never accept it, perhaps I will allow you equal ground, if only for today.”
