"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.

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!

The sound of the lad’s approach made Sacre jump. It was one of those odd moments of experiencing both relief and embarrassment. He knew his dark thoughts couldn’t be heard, but at the same time he felt slightly unnerved by thinking of them during the presence of another. With a snort he composed himself and offered the approaching colt a warm, bright smile. He recognized both; Ilaria more so, wasn’t she the panda companion of the Golden Prince? Sacre hadn’t had much chance to get to know Cera much, to Sacre the master craftsman was like one of those respected folk in the distance that he one day wished to be like. Known for good things more than bad. At least, that was the perception the blood stained child had projected onto the gilded lad and his blazon companion. The question was, why was the companion of the Forger following the young lad that now approached.
He was only perhaps a year younger, they shared the same similar black and red traits, but this one had added in yellow. There had been that one-day, quite a while ago now, that Sacre had run into the colt. On of his first days in the Throat he had found Ranjiri along with Cera and this young half-pint. Maybe there was something more between those three and Sacre was just missing a piece in the jigsaw. Either way, he greeted the colt with urbane gestures and hoped his open armed friendliness would ease the boy’s nervousness that spilt through his voice.
Ryuu. Ryuuuuuu. Ryoooo he amused himself with his playful thoughts; there was no chance of him forgetting such a catchy name. “The one and only. The best. The-“ he stopped short of finishing his theatrics as Inari dug a claw into his leg with a disgruntled look of exasperation. ”Will you ever grow up?” He projected the distressed thought to his blue eyed friend. Sacre ignored the quip with a short laugh, his attention firmly on the colt in front of him “aye I’m Sacre and my friend is Inari, nice to meet you Ryuu” he offered the boy, brightly.
Thud. He drew his attention away from Ryuu for a moment to search for the source of the new noise. Maegera! His companion in hunting down the murderer. Sacre let the joy of seeing her colour his features “Good to see you, Meg” he responded kindly when she closed in on them, Inari barked his own vulpine version of ‘hello’.
The conversation turned to the duty at hand and Sacre, who had been on patrol duty only twice before, set off towards the entrance with purpose. “Let’s go!” he concurred with Meg, hoping they’d accompany him down into the caves. His cloven hooves hit the new terrain with a muffled, low sounding clop and Inari followed eagerly by his side, white tipped fluffy tail held perfectly vertical as his little black paws marched away. Soon they entered Sanctuary and the duo came to a halt in the middle. “I haven’t been here in some time… It’s so beautiful” he complimented the surroundings with awe in his voice as he observed the lava behind the crystal. “Do either of you come here often? I remember when we lived here for some time and all I wanted to do was get out, but we couldn’t” his laugh was distant, like it was lost in a memory.
