"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!

H A L D I R
This was new. The little fawn picked up his tiny hoof and placed it in the snow, watching it sink in and disappear. Pulling it back out he placed it again with a growing smile on his small maw. Another hoof was placed in this white powder, and it sent chills up his little body from the cold wet touch. The spotted little head rose and he looks out over the expanse below this hide away. They were up in a cave and below stretched a beautiful pristine wonderland of this white stuff. When it had been falling, as the gold had carried on his back, the small fawn here, he had called it something….what was it…oh! Gloss [snow]. It was so lovely now in the morning light, it looked just like his most favorite thing, geil, [stars], though it still could not compare to the elenath [night sky], it was simply wondrous. A youthful flurry of spirit whirled up inside the small fawn. Looking back into the cave he watched the golden. How could that creature be asleep at a time like this? There was so much to do and explore. Since he had left this place the deer had tried to do as the gold said, to stay hidden, and wait, to learn what the gold had to teach him. But had not the gold left on his own adventures? Shouldn’t Haldir?
With a bold large inhale the tiny fawn looked away from the sleeping gold and slipped outside into the early morning white wonderland. Though the winter had pushed through one last snow fall, the spring sun was doing its best to warm the frozen valley. The black spotted little one dashed down the mountain side, in blissful ignorance of the danger. Fear, was not something the gold had taught this child, and without his natural parents to teach him the caution of his ancestors, there was little to stop this little one from a naïve dash through the snow. At last in the pines the small fawn kicked up his heels. His black spotted coat grew whiter and whiter with frost and snow as he dodged about the trees, laughing out into the still morning with a childish joy. How freeing it felt to have his own space. Marching through his new found kingdom he commanded the audience of thauns [pine trees], and practiced more the proud trot that had made the golden smile. He had enjoyed being preened by the gold, and still did desire to be with him, but here, in the pines, without him, felt so….natural. Rearing up and kicking out at a low pine branch the little fawn took off through the grove, weaving and laughing in the rush of adrenaline.
Then it all came to an end. The black spotted fawn slid to a stop. Before him was a wide expanse, with no pine trees. It was not fear that stopped him, but simply the enormity of what surrounded him. The fawn was small and had seen so few things, that the mountains which towered on the other side of the valley made him stop in his tracks. He wished he had a name for them, to called them what they were. They were the tallest things he had ever seen, and looked to touch the sky. Garoelenath [Hold the night sky]. It fit them, the small deer decided, as they reached seemed to reach up and hold the sky (plus those were the only words he could put together for it). Small brown head, dusted with snow looked about before him. He wanted to climb up to the garoelenath and hold the sky too! Wouldn’t the gold be proud?! He should go get the gold, and perhaps they could go together!
The gold… A worried face passed over the tiny creature and he looked back into the forest. Where was the gold? Having dashed through the pines and all around, the fawn had lost all sense of where the cave was. Large ears fell back for the first time, but a resolution passed over his face. The gold was never afraid so neither would he. Perhaps if he stepped out of the trees he could see where the cave was up on the rocks? Yeah, that sounded good, besides, that meant he could go closer to the garoelenath.
So stepping out boldly, like a proud stag, he came from the shelter of the pines into the meadow. The snow here was thicker, and though concerned about where the cave and the gold was, the small fawn could not help but be taken away in excitement as he sank up to his tiny under sides in the snow. Kicking about, Haldir quickly got lost in the fun again and in jumps and light laughter he jumped from one snow drift to another. Danger being unknown to him, the fawn was near oblivious to what went on far beyond him, and was lost in his childish winter wonders, turning snow drifts into garoelenaths and his youthfulness into courage.

OOC:: @[Aithniel] Thranduil will come soon, but at least for a second Haldir wanted to play. =]
Feel free to use any force/magic on Thranduil, short of killing him.

Aithniel had returned from her adventures, having to face the fact that Rikyn would not be here. It was time to acknowledge that there was so little left in this place to hold her close. She even almost missed Illynx's speeches about how she was different and had to grow up. Well, she was right. Illynx loomed as this great power in her mind, neither good nor bad, but she was usually always right. Aithniel both hated and loved that about her. What a confusing broad. The girl stalked into the Basin, long, lanky legs bounding onto the grass.
Birdsong was such a beautiful season. So full of life.
The small girl wasn't paying a bit of attention to her surroundings until now, and she looked up and came face to face and eye to eye with a fawn. Aithniel snorted, ears tossing forward and looking with interest at the little black creature. She was just saying that this season was full of life, but she hadn't expected to stumble upon it so unexpectedly. The daughter of the Sun God smiled and stood still, not wanting to frighten the creature. He had just been playing before. Maybe... maybe he wanted to play?
Aithniel grinned and jumped in the air, kicking, bucking and twisting about, rather graceful with her small frame and cloven hooves. Her lion tail snapped around her body, and her wings bolted out for balance. The girl stopped moments later and snorted at the fawn again, daring him to play.
Kicking, leaping, and lost in a world lost to all those more than a few months old, the small black fawn was oblivious as the approaching filly to their coming together. Spinning and leaping from one snow drift to another his little heart pounding against the growing cold. So freeing to have his own space, to wondrous to feel this tingle in his spin and pure electricity snapping from his very hooves. Leaping. Kicking. Spinning. Horse. The small dark frame fawn froze with a snort. Legs, wide in the snow, held tense, but not in a fear. This creature was not at all like the others he had met. She was HIS size. A wild grin began to grow on the tiny fawn’s face. His size! He didn’t know they came in his size! Look at her! She was simply beautiful (of course everyone was to the small fawn). Oh but look at her eyes! They reflected the same black white as his he had seen in the heated pool’s reflection. Same size, same eyes, the fawn instantly connected it was all meant to be. She was connected to him, in one way or the other.
Dark little tail began to wag as his new friend looked just as excited at him. What a beautiful lady! She needed a name! Her coat was white, like gloss [snow], but she was so much prettier! She was a like a fain [cloud], but that wasn’t right, she gave light, not took it away. The Anor [ sun] was not white, but it could be. Oh but the anor uin elenath [sun of the night=moon] was colored as she. Anoruinelenath was quite a mouthful though. So Anornath would do. The little fawn bubbling at her name, not thinking she had her own did tingle with excitement. And like electricity it broke between them and the girl leapt from her place, her body twisting with more grace and beauty than the fawn could imagine. And there! Look she flashes her roviel [wings]! They did not burn like the great dark beast but how beautiful they looked by her sides! Coming down she snaps to look at the little fawn, daring him. He needed no other encouragement.
Boldly, he calls her by name. “BLEAAAAT” Which was meant to sound out like Anornath, but it would have to do. The small fawn felt more than equal to the task though and band back on his hooves, his tiny head bowing down, he readies like a spring. He’ll show Anornath he can be just as graceful and powerful as she. The black spotted one leaps forward, his hinds kicking out, and head arched back as he tussles into the snow and maybe even into her. Then he’s off. Kicking about the drifts which he sink in, limiting his run quite a bit. He would show her. Twisting back around, his instincts take over and his head levels towards her such as when his ancestors would call for their antlers. Haldir of course had none, but it didn’t stop him. Calling out again the small fawn leaps forward frolicking and kicking about. His tiny maw reaches out to brush against the girl and then he keeps on running, begging her into a game of tag. Racing with the wilds of free soul. In the air of youth. Not a care in this good world.
