"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.

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!

WINDOW SEAT TO CHAOS OVERLOAD
Bird Battle rolls Why: Friendly spar with @[Vesta] Where: Dragon's Throat, near the oasis. When: Dawn, end of Snowfall season. So the air is crisp but there is no snow and little wind. What: 3 attack posts each. Magic/Companions okay.
Sound good?
The days following the first meeting were fleeting in Ampere's mind as she set herself to work, hoping to bury her thoughts in the weariness of her body. This day in particular held promise, as Ampere was set to spar with a member of the Dragon's Throat. She greeted the dawn grinning, excited to delve into something within the herd that she actually knew about, a welcome respite to all her fumbling in regards to the crown. She knew she wasn't against an easy match though, since Vesta had shown interest in the fighting ranks.
"All the better" Ampere thought as she took to the skies, reveling in the windy currents. They rocked her like the ocean, soothing, but with an underscore of danger.
Ampere used this time to stretch her muscles and warm her blood. Although there was no pale blanket to be found in the desert, the nights were still cruel with the cold. She figured she should also probably inspect the herd and the borders before hand, just in case anything was amiss. Thankfully there was nothing to distract her from the task at hoof, the majority of the herd continuing to slumber, save those who drew the night patrol.
Ampere climbed the sky with the dawn, washed in a golden glow. She tilted her left wing slightly and began to drop abruptly. She flexed the feathers at her tail base, adjusting her speed while she angled her wings so that she began a lazy spiral back towards the ground. She pulled into a current rather than landing though, circling the oasis as she watched and waited for her opponent.
"Vesta!" she called out, anxious to begin.

Magic or force permitted any time, aside from death.
Vesta was standing at the Oasis, the morning air crisp as it ran through her feathers. Her wings were extended wide, basking in the rays of the sun as they worked to warm the desert. The winter was coming to its end, but the cold grip it had on the night was still heavy, dominating the rest of Helovia as well. Vesta, and her gypsy heart, were always ones to greet the day at the break of dawn, seafoam eyes running over the clouds and the sunrise. Nights were the time of rest, and when the morning rose again on the horizon, it was a time of action.
Vesta's life had been filled with travel, coming to and from to live vaguely as a whisper upon the earth. She had no home, Loorien had been her's and her family's to travel--until after their massacre and her trek into Helovia. She still remembered the day she crashed into the Threshold and was brought home by Gaucho, greeted by Kri and welcomed among her brothers in arms, and finally, healed by her daughter Onni. Vesta, though silent about her feelings towards the day, was thankful. Her traumatized mind had not lasted long in the desert, but she was here, and she called it home, and she was ready to prove her worth.
Her ears perked up and she looked to the sky, wings flexing gently as she watched the blue lightning-mare descend and circle. Vesta smiled. Just in time. Vesta turned away from the Oasis and cantered several yards before launching herself into the sky. Her wings beat down heavily, skillfully lifting her into the sky. She angled herself to circle opposite of Ampere as the queen called out her name. The blue and black mare was built very similar to Kri, very similar to herself, and Vesta knew this would be a match of vikings, no matter how friendly it seemed upon the dawn. Stretching her wings and gaining altitude, Vesta rose above where Ampere had been circling. Vesta stayed behind her and on the side of the sunrise, putting the star behind her back so that Ampere was in the shadow of her vision. "Shall we begin the dance?" Her voice was a teasing trill upon the wind, and she leveled her wings to glide lightly.
[Here we go! Thanks blu!!]
V E S T A Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together
Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow
No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world
