"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!

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
"The words in my head...I cannot translate them to you, in their magnitude. I wish I could, to help you understand why I cannot forgive such horrors. Probeer te begrijpen."
"Likewise, I wish I could help you understand why i chose to forgive them." Evangeline murmured. "I cannot lie and say that I've never done anything that might have hurt someone. No one is perfect and I won't pretend to be. I've made my fair share of mistakes and I only hope that the ones I wronged will be as forgiving of me as I am of them." Life was far too short to dwell on the injustices of the world. It was much easier to forgive than to go on carrying a grudge that could possibly be passed on to younger generations. "If I hurt you would you forgive me?" She voice the question even as realization dawned on her that he wanted to leave their current conversation behind along with all of its unpleasantness. And so she decided that she would try her best not to press on after Kaj answered her question, if he even chose to.
"Your passion and willingness are included among your strengths, mijn leliemeisje."
A shiver rippled down her spine as he spoke in his native language and the orange mare found her gaze locked on his face. His compliment was lost on her as she focused on the words he had spoken after. "Mijn leliemeisje." She hoped she hadn't butchered the words too badly as she stumbled over them. "What does that mean?"'Great powerful lizard.' Tallis piped up rather suddenly causing Evangeline to roll her eyes and glance at him. "He was talking to me, not you Tallis." The orange dragon trilled loudly as his bonded looked back to her King, ears tilting forward as he voiced another question.
"Probably marching to war." Eva answered half teasing and half serious. For as gentle as he could be he still had the heart and soul of a warriorm which was not a bad thing. He was selfless. His people were his utmost priority and she felt that if anyone wronged them he would go out of his way to seek justice. She feared that his sense of duty and justice along with his inability to forgive would be his and his herd's downfall.
"Tell me, mijn leliemeisje, what do you like to do when you are...blue? What makes you happy?"
Kaj's question was unexpected and caught Evangeline off guard. It had been a long time since she'd done anything that made her happy. When was the last time she'd even been happy? 'Uske.' Tallis answered and Eva had to agree. The day she had found Ruske had been the most recent day she'd been happy. "When I lived in Isilme I used to pick apples for the Tome Guardian ... a grumpy old geezer that lived in a castle. He never left it so I brought him apples and that made me happy." It was probably really silly that something like that could make her happy, but it did. She even found at times that she missed the grumpy old geezer, and it wasn't because he had the ability to grant magic to mortals, she'd never even gone to him seeking magic. She'd liked him as an individual, felt sympathy that he had been used so often by others for their own gain. Some mental prodding, courtesy of Tallis, drew Eva out of her thoughts and she smiled. "And Tallis. Tallis makes me happy. What makes you happy?"
