"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!

Solace
I'm ashamed that I'm barely human
I'm ashamed that I don't have a heart you can break
I'm just action and other times reaction
Solace heard the familiar voice of Apollo. He joined the others amongst the group. There was still that sense of being a stranger invading an intimate family meeting, but he decided to ignore the feeling for the time being. He was still new to the herd, it would just take time for him to learn and get to know his herdmates.
His attention was pulled from his own thoughts as Apollo began to speak. They had lost even more members of the herd .When Solace had first arrived he remembered the first meeting that discussed one of the previous chieftains had left, now another one had followed. He was sure many felt a deep loss, but he himself wasn’t involved enough to have even spoken with the other members, with the exception of Apollo that cold night in the Threshold.
The opportunity for others to take upon the rank of general had opened up. Solace had no interest in any kind of power. It held far too much responsibility, and he himself wasn’t a strong enough warrior. Let those that loved this herd more than he, and those that craved power take the rank. He would always be but a follower, and he was content with that life.
Solace looked at the Pegasus that expressed his interest in the role first, and then at the unicorn. Vaguely, he remembered seeing both at the previous herd meeting. He studied them both for a long time, but then turned his gaze back to Apollo. He could only imagine what sort of pressure was upon the his leader’s shoulders. This would be a test for is leadership, Solace thought. If he could bring this broken family together and defend them from the threats that loomed outside of the Foothills.
A need to speak hit Solace. This wasn’t a need he was particularly used to having, but for once he felt it that body language wouldn’t be enough to express his thoughts.
“I know I am still very new to this family, and not acquainted with basically any of you… But I will stand by you Apollo, and all of my brothers and sisters.” He paused briefly as he tried to collect words in his mind and a look of determination crossed over his features. “One thing I do know about this herd is that we are strong, and if we stay true to each other I believe we can make it through this darkness.”
He almost couldn’t believe those words had come out of his mouth. Solace didn't believe himself the type for eloquence or speeches. But then again, everything about his life lately had been changing. Potential changes in himself really shouldn’t surprise him anymore.
