"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!

Every step of the way Hototo was at her side and it brought Ktulu back to a time when her son was a suckling. When he listened to her and hung off of her every word and looked at her as if she were some sort of goddess. She wondered if he would still look at her the same way now or if he would see her for what she really was and know that she was not the wonderful being that he had made her out to be. She was far from it and she would not hide it. She could not.
She was reminded again of the knob-kneed little boy that fumbled his steps as they entered the forest. She didn't have to even see his stumbling to know, she just had to hear it. The difference in his pace was sudden and very noticeable. Rather than leave him behind and continue on, Ktulu slowed as she always did when he was a foal to give him time to catch up with her. She had never gone to his aid then to help him and wondered if he resented her for it, but she had not done it out of meanness. She had done it because she wanted him to be self-reliant and strong. She didn't want to coddle him and turn him into something weak because she'd had no misgivings when she'd agreed to be his mother. He was to be something great. He was to be a protector and to be a protector he would have to be strong. Her job was just to raise him and protect him until he was old enough to take on the duties that his father would give him.
Ktulu slowed gradually until she was standing among the trees, her sides heaving as she caught her breath. Under the trees the rain was a little less heavy but drops still found their way down between branches and leaves and splashed against her dark coat. The Constrictor took a deep breath and let it out before turning her gaze on her son and she smiled. He had grown into a handsome stallion and stood taller than she did. He made her feel far older than her four years and it was then that she understood how her father must have felt when she and Ophelia had reached adulthood. What she couldn't understand was how he felt when he discovered that he had grandchildren and she didn't want to make that discovery anytime soon.
"Hototo." She said his name after waiting a few minutes to catch her breath. "Its good to see you." No, it was wonderful to see her son. She was ecstatic to see him because she had worried night after night since he'd taken his leave, but she had swept those feelings under the proverbial rug so she could do her duties protecting the herd. But she had no one to protect now.
Ktulu suddenly stepped forward and reached to hook her neck over her son's withers and pull him against her chest where she held him firmly. Months of worry washed away with the rain because he was finally back and in one piece.
