"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!

You ask me how a creature who is half-god can die, and I tell you that they do not - at least now in the way we consider death. So, when you saw that flame consume her and the shadowy smoke that plumed, you saw a spirit uniting with both the earth and the sky. Two bloods were torn, body sinking as ash to the floor of the caves below and spirit ascending to the metaphysical realm above, perhaps to exist with her father.
Israfel, daughter of sun. You breathed light, but no longer. We know not why this happened, but we know that it did. We saw you disappear, saw you leave this world. Perhaps you were needed elsewhere, or perhaps this world was just not meant for your beautiful temperament and kind soul.
We ask ourselves now, now that the world is out of balance, will it be whole again? What of the sun? Who will stand between the flames and our mortal selves? Will he bring new blood into this world?
Does he even know?
Due to extenuating circumstances, Israfel was given back to the administrators, and instead of passing the design along to a third player, we decided to do applications and allow the new player to design and create the demi-god.
The design will be given back to its maker along with the name, so Israfel is considered, from this point on, to be dead.
His stormy eyes had seen, but they did not believe.
Iss-rah - she had told him her name, and he had locked it away like some precious bauble.
Daughter of the Sun. Of his Sun, a beautiful creature of white and gold. A bright beacon while he completed the quest given to him by her father.
And so, as harmless flames lapped Gaucho's wings and his dark ebony locks, he believed that Isra was similarly bathing in the light of the Sun. And why not? In the depths of the caves, without a guiding light or warm rays upon the face? Why shouldn't the daughter of the Sun be here, casting her brilliance upon them all?
But she wasn't, was she.
She was burning.
Gaucho's dark lips parted as he raced forward, black hooves scraping and colliding with the dark cave floor - sending sparks and tiny flames ricocheting away from himself, as he scrambled towards her. He was too late, of course, and only succeeded in breathing in ash and smoke. His eyes watered as his wings beat, hoping to dampen whatever flames might be left, but those too were gone.
Only Isra's spirit, rising high into the caves, twinkling with a new brilliance.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" Gaucho screamed mournfully, rearing onto his hind legs, and swiping with both front hooves as well as his wings, at her disappearing ether.
Something washes over me, a sudden feeling of depression. My heart sinks as I rise, purple tinted bodice trembling profusely. I'm sobbing, tears running down my face in a steady stream of crystalline droplets. I can't handle the emotions that hit me as consciousness draws closer to me. My mind is showing images of Mother, her body mutilated by the creatures that have overrun Helovia. My wings are wrapped close to my sides, temptation giving in. I begin to pull feathers, stressed out by these horrific images. Red and purple down flutter down around me, catching on my dark lips. I'm praying that these images will stop, but they don't. They drift on, until I'm seeing a familiar body, although the name is not matched to the face. Is... Isr.. I've stopped plucking, now focusing on finding a name for this girl. I hear hoofsteps coming from farther along the caverns, my ears perking up in curiosity. Following the source I appear in time to see the pale girl, her body fading, spirit slipping from her body. Fire, a column of flames consumes her. Bellowing from the red flames is a plume of smoke, rising into the sky. Ashes to ashes... her body disintegrates, we all fall down, falling to the cave floors in a clump of ashes.
Israfel.
The bay stallion beside me wails, voice echoing off the cavern walls. He rises to his full height, a giant compared to me, still a fragile foal to his large frame. He swipes at the fading spirit of the girl, his massive flapping wings causing her ashes to stir. "Stop! Stop!!" I begin to scream, running towards him to keep him from further disturbing the ashes. "Stop... please. " My knees are weak, my stomach is sick, I can't handle anything at this moment, too weak to stand. First I lose Father, than Mother and Brother, and now a girl I had barely known dies. I shouldn't be upset about her death, yet witnessing it causes me to break. I can't handle anymore losses in this life. My knees give out on me, leaving me to tumble to the cold stone ground. A small cloud of ashes arises from the pile, caused by me falling to the floor. I can't be Mommy's brave soldier anymore, too much pain has caused me to weaken.
Why or how they wandered to this part of the caves the young roan did not understand. What she did know, was that her son that had both been wanted and unwanted was dead... Murdered before her eyes right before the Edge fled to come here. Not only that, but Breeze had returned... But Kiara did not know where he was now. She hoped he made it here.... Her heart still beat for him and him only...
It was Keiran who had spotted the burning body first. His soft yowls attracted the young roan he was bonded to. Together they moved to get closer, curious for the first time in months. Together they watched as the demi-goddess that had called the Edge home, died.... Or well, burned... To be honest Kiara wasn't sure what exactly happened that day. Either way, the world was one less child of the Gods.... This could not be good. Two others seemed to be watching and both seemed to vocalize the pain they felt. One charged forth, making a mess of himself and the ashes that were left behind. The girl however tried to stop him from further spreading the ashes around. Kiara merely sighed and turned to leave. There were no words needed, she barely knew the girl. But the least she could do was find the rest of the herd and tell them of her death.... Keiran yowled softly and turned to pad alongside his bonded. We all have to die someday, some just sooner than others. His deep voice was soothing to the fem, even if his words were cold. It was hard to believe she had been so broken when she had bonded with him.... But somehow, he healed her...
