"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!

As much as I loved the meadow of thistle, I had to explore a little. The only places I had been to here in Helovia was afterall the Threshold, the desert known as Dragon's Throat and the meadow - but now I was on a little journey. A journey to the waters, the endless ocean which I had seen from above but never from ground level. But to get to the waters on the ground, I had to go through a lot of forest. And I didn't mean a little, I meant a lot. It was a bit dirty for me to be honest, it reminded me a bit too much of the life outside of this land and the filth I had to go through there. But I continued. I was a strong, independent girl no matter what the Queen had said - I was no weakling just because I didn't have my tattoo.
As if I wanted the tattoo anyways.
Rays of the sun was lighting up my surroundings, places which were normally darkened by the shadows of the tree crowns. I noticed as I walked that the foliage eased up a little and the trees got bolder, increasing in their sheer amount. Where was I going? "Why have you disappeared from the Falls? Why are we ga..." I stopped, frozen in position, and felt my heart starting to race in my dark chest. Who was out there? What was the Falls? And why in Heaven's name did the voice stop mid-sentence? Slowly and as quiet as I could, my cloven hooves brought my closer to the voice and I peeked through the thin foliage. And my heart almost failed me at that exact moment I peeked out. "C-C-Cea..." I mumbled, staring at the pegasus mare from my hidden position. Tears started to swell in my eyes, burning them and causing my vision to fail me. My sister. My sister was here. She was here. CEALESTIS WAS HERE!
At first I almost jumped out of the bushes to attack-hug my sister, but then I realized that there was many others around her. Three horned ones, three equines and two pegasi of which one was my sister. One had both a horn and wings. Who were these? Was my sister a prisoner? A member? I swallowed a hard lump in my throat, blinked away the last few tears and stepped forth, carrying my silver wings close to my stocky bodice.
I gazed upon the group with pale pupils, feeling my heart racing like a madman in my chest and the fear trying to take a hold of me. "Chairetó, Cealestis." I was facing my sister, who was accompanied by a simple dog. Had she ever liked dogs? It was probably just my memory failing me again. Maybe she had liked dogs, but I sure knew that she would like me better. Right? "Adelfí, I finally found you," The words were but a whisper and this time, I couldn't hold back my tears even for Queen and country. I had found my sister. She was safe. But where were the rest?
