"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 :: Broken Magic Plot ☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.
☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.
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.
Cotm
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 am at my end.
The shame is too great, the burden too heavy for my shoulders. I am at the point of breaking.
My body have never been so heavy as it was now and it took a great deal of energy just to take a step. The sound of hairs against stone had died and it had been replaced by my heavy breathing. Only a trail of blood remained on the wall after I passed and with it, my despair. The longer I went into the crystal labyrinth, the more I left everything behind.
I could feel the rocks tug at my flesh now, but I never stopped and moved away. I had to feel something..something else than the uncomfortable thunder in my heart. So I chose pain.
My head hung low on my neck and my gaze was empty. There was nothing left of the shy, kind stallion. He was dead. So what was I? His shadow? A ghost of someone that used to live, breathe and think? Am I..a memory?
I could not think anymore and neither could I move. All I was able to do, was raise my head and let it rest against the crystalline coldness as I let my breath out. I felt the pain still, so that was a relief. But, I had now given up yet. I would come back and prove to myself that I could not be killed off that easily. Whatever demons still lurked inside of me, I would kill them. I will kill them for you, Africa. It's always for you.
I am not sure why I’ve come back here. Despite its dazzling qualities this cave is by far the most unpleasant out of the whole network, in my opinion it is even worse than the pit. That total darkness at least has its uses. This place is good for nothing other than driving folk mad. I glare at the shimmering surface around me and my reflection within them, feeling an uncharacteristically sour mood setting in. I do not like looking at my reflection, I never have. Snorting in distaste I pull my eyes away and focus instead on the ground before me.
Now I remember why I am here; because I wanted to go to the pit and I was being lazy. This route is simply faster assuming I manage not to get lost. I wonder if the blue one is still aimlessly wandering the crisscrossing trails in this place and if he might guide me out should I step wrong. I wonder if the fledgling bird I found in the pit is getting along alright. I wonder if Elsiyum is feeling more herself yet. I wonder if Lena might teach me a thing or two about healing. And in amongst all that wondering, as always when I am alone, I miss Alejandro dreadfully and I see my ghosts out of the corners of my eyes.
Thinking myself alone I pay little attention to my surroundings, it is all just that dreadful crystal stuff anyway. I have rounded a bend and walked straight into a black wall of flesh before I realize how very wrong I was. My forehead comes solidly up against a warm flank and for a split second I stand still in confusion. Then it occurs to me that I ought to apologize.
“Um, sorry… I didn’t expect anyone to be there...”
Backing up slowly I go about changing course so as to continue on around him and only as an afterthought do I begin to wonder what this male is doing standing here with his rear in the middle of the path and his head pressed firmly against the smooth wall.

(Am I being sluggish? Check my status HERE) HELOVIA HARD MODE
I had to find an anchor, so I don't float away into the darkness. This place, this situation was messing with my heaf in ways I can not predict. One moment I'm on top on the world, and in the next, I see no way out of the misery. I got to keep my focus on the things that matter. All else, I can forget.
So why do I focus on the wrong things? There is only one sould in this world that likes me for who I am, not what I wish to be, and she.. She is lost to me. Maybe that's why I keep on fighting the current I am in, and not let myself follow it? I should try that, one day.
I let out a sight just before somone walked right into my side. Instead of turning around and accepting the apology, I shifted my weight and just looked at the horse. It was a mare, something I knew before I saw her or even heard her voice. The smell that surrounds them makes a promise they will not keep. They promise you the world and a pleasure beyond imagination, but if you ask for it, they bite.
"Me neither" I answered and finally turned around so she could get past me. The place where the wall had tore up my skin, was smaller than I had expected, and it did not bleed that much. What a shame. "You can go past me now. I don't bite."

LIKE A WAVE ON THE OCEAN
I am paying very little attention to him. My dislike of these particular surroundings is overwhelming my normally warm and friendly demeanor to the point of rudeness. Of course he is blocking the road and thus making himself an obstacle to my progress, however unintentionally. My own dark eyes return his empty-eyed gaze for a moment only before I resume the task of getting around him. A task that I quickly find to be impossible. Even as small and slender as I am there is not enough room between his ample rear and the next nearest wall to allow my passage.
With a defeated sigh I begin to back up assuming that I must now retrace my steps and find a different path. I resign myself to getting lost again as I only know one sure route through this irritating maze, that being the one this inconsiderate male is blocking. My sigh is followed by a grouchy snort and then all of a sudden the path is clear.
He doesn’t bite he says…
“Well neither do I!”
I snap back at him, the irritation finally showing.
“You are just… well... in the way… that’s all.”
Completely out of sorts now I stamp on by muttering a huffy ”thank you” as I do. Out of the corner of my eye I note the red smear on the wall and a stride or so past him my curiosity wins out. Turning my head I glare back over my shoulder.
“Why?”
Even I am not entirely sure if I’m asking why he was bleeding himself on the wall, why he was blocking the road, or why he let me by…
He does not deign to answer and so, after letting the silence drag out for a minute or two, I give a final derisive snort and turn my back on him for good. Well, for today at least... for all I know our paths will cross again.
It is time to get out of this hideous maze.
