"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!

[Realism] + 1| Defense: realistically took the bite to haunches + 1| Defense: Nip to canon + 1| Attack: Scraping back + 1| Attack: snapping teeth and neck around - 1| A bruised haunch would continue to ache, especially when her hooves are in the air
[Prose] + 2| Emotion: Loving how Kri is trying to temper her blows and keep it light hearted + 1| Flow: Very easy to read + 1| Easy read DEFENDER -- post 2
[Realism] + 1| Defense: Good evation 0| Defense: A bite to the ear is realistic, but the skin there is so thin that it would most likely have broken + 1| Attack: Nipping back + 1| Attack: kick at flank
[Realism] + 1| Defense: realistically avoided bite to face 0| Defense: Took the bite to the haunch but no mention of previous bite wound + 1| Attack: bite at cheek + 1| Attack: kicking out at side

[Prose] + 1| Flow - 1| Easy read: Because both characters are female, you have to be very careful when you use "she" and "her" CHALLENGER -- post 4 (defense only)
[Realism] 0| Defense: took the bite to the back leg, but a bleeding laceration would cause quite a bit of pain + 1| Defense: dive, but still grazed hooves CHALLENGER
[Bonus] + 2| Breed: described differences of size/weight and how that would affect flight + 1| Surroundings
[Injuries]
None
[Creativity] + 1| The swooping roll to graze hooves on Cass's sides + 1| Style: Kri's entire attitude of having fun and sparring was very unique and emotional
Comments: Very good! Kri's attitude and emotion was wonderful. I would just docus on injuries and how they would affect your character as they continue to fight. I enjoyed also reading about the environment incorporation. Very good transitions and easy reads. Very nice style! DEFENDER
[Bonus] + 1| Health: sustained the least amount of damage + 1| Surroundings
[Injuries]
None
[Creativity] + 1| Very fast, realistic attacks (like nipping back and snapping at legs)
Comments: Very good fight, but I could definitely use to feel more emotion from Cass. Also, you should think about how to make your defenses more realistic because an attack from hooves can easily break skin and it is more difficult that you would think to avoid a well defined attack. Also, really work on your use of pronouns and making sure that each character's actions are easily defined. Great job! TOTAL
Challenger - 80
Defender - 66
