"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!

SNÖ</style> & i know why everything wrong feels so right</style>
Snö was not stupid no matter what anyone might think about her. She was spoiled, yes. She was vain and jealous and vindictive, yes. But she was a far cry from a stupid naive filly and she had her mother to thank for that because she'd had to grow up quickly as they traveled in and out of Helovia before finally settling there. It was the traveling that stuck out in her mind more than anything else in her childhood, aside from Tamlin's birth, that is. And because of that she often felt the desire to roam make her skin crawl and her muscles feel restless and jumpy. She could only blame herself for wandering far enough to find Felcie and his stupid guard. If it wasn't for them and her vindictive decision to release Felcie's slaves she wouldn't be trudging through cold water in the Threshold trying to throw them off of her trail.
The icy girl sighed as water splashed onto her chest and belly, yet she continued to press on. Once she got a little further downstream she would ditch the creek and take to the woods again, but after that she didn't know where she was going to go. There was no way for her to know if her parents were still leading the Plague and the Basin together or if they had both pulled a disappearing act like she had. Snö wasn't sure if she wanted to go all the way north and find that she was no longer a princess. The girl snorted quietly and rolled her eyes. Who was she kidding? She would always be a princess and no one could take that away from her.
"Snö!"
She stopped and the cool water sloshed around her legs. Slowly she turned her head in the direction that the voice had come from, and while she thought it familiar she didn't immediately place it with a name or a face, and saw her mother standing there. "Mom?" The name sounded foreign on her tongue because the mare had always been 'mother' or 'Psyche' when Snö was feeling particularly hostile toward her. Her ears tilted forward and she didn't bother to hide the shock on her face when she saw that there was something very important missing from her mother's features. Snö's body turned, her icy eyes narrowing on the empty region of Psyche's forehead. "What kind of trickery is this?" She demanded hotly because she could not even see a stump of where a horn had been and she would have seen it if it had been broken off, wouldn't she?
Snö took several steps toward her mother and stopped short when she finally saw what was left of the horn jutting from behind her thick forelock. "What happened to you, mother?" She forced herself to regain the composure she had lost upon seeing Psyche.
