"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!

I had a dream I stood beneath an orange sky.</style>
Solace watched the griffin as he squawked and smiled. He interpreted that as at least a good response, and his belief was confirmed by the griffin’s bonded. It was like music to his ears that both were having a positive experience. As Blitzen told of them looking for a place to stay, he himself hadn’t found a permanent place to stay, but that never had been important to Solace, he believed it to be his wandering spirit that prevented him from choosing a single home to call his own. There was always something new to find in the Foothills, so to pick a singular place to remain would make him grow restless.
“I have managed to explore Helovia a bit myself, it’s a gorgeous place and there is much to see here.” He thought back to the time he wandered to the ocean. It vastness had blown him away, and made him feel like the small colt he had once been. It had been awhile since he had gone further than the Threshold from his home, but his mind had been focused solely on rebuilding the Foothills and getting it to a strong and steady place. Now life was flourishing, and perhaps he could focus a bit on his own ventures and try building more relationships within the Foothills.
Solace watched the griffin move, the smile till upon his lips. There was something precious between Comet and his bonded. This idea of a companion was growing on the stallion by bit, it was starting to lose its strangeness. Maybe someday he would request to the earth god for a companion. For now though, there were many other things to worry about other than making petty requests to a god that has far more important things to tend to then the desires of a mere mortal.
Blitzen’s invitation caught into Solace’s ears. His ears perked forward, and at first he simply nodded before the words came to his mind. “I would love to join you.” He said. It would be good to know where the other stallion chose to reside, in case he would ever need to seek him out. In that moment Solace’s thoughts drifted out to Cantante. Last time he had been to check up on her, she hadn’t been at her ‘safe spot’, which made him feel a sense of worry, but he knew she wasn’t a child and had no control of where the mare chose to go. It still concerned him as to whether or not she was lost. Perhaps Blitzen had seen the mare since Solace had kept her close to the Foothills. He would have to go out and look for her later, he would give it a bit more time before he decided to look, there was no reason to keep her an iron grip. He had no right whatsoever to dictate any kind of action for this mare to take. His protection was on her terms and if she didn’t desire to be under his watch it was her choice. It didn’t mean he wouldn’t worry a bit about her though, there was no stopping that.
“So, what is it in particular you are looking for?” Solace asked pulling himself from his thought. It was rude of him to dwell upon something when he was in the presence of someone. “I haven’t explored the Foothills quite as much as I’d like to, but maybe I can keep an eye out for something that would suit you and Comet.”
