"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.

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 watch as she takes a step back, eyes widening. I'm about to ask what's the matter as she begins to speak, promptly causing my teeth to shut with a clack. My mind immediately thinks of a million answers to her question until she asks me one: Can you even comprehend how it feels to be completely and utterly alone? I feel as though I am being choked as memories flood into my mind. Of course I do. I have been without Ivezho, my twin for nearly a season now. Inseparable at birth and now...now he's just gone. It felt unfair, and my heart rallied against the injustice of it every time his name floated through my thoughts. But even more than that, I almost died at birth. Did she!? You want to know what it is to feel alone?! It's to not even have spoken one syllable, to not even have seen the faces of those around you as the blackness swoops in to take you down into the depths forever.
I almost don't hear the rest of what she says, until she calls Father evil. My ears snap backwards and my nostrils flare. How dare she think that her hurt is more important than mine? How dare she imply that she is the only one who knows pain, or that she can judge the worth of my father based on the narrow view of him that she has? My Father is a great Sultan.
She is a stupid girl and..and...
Suddenly I feel like crying. This isn't fair either. This isn't my job to defend Father's actions. I just came here to be alone! I don't want this! I ...I can feel myself breaking down, my resolve, my anger. It all begins to fade and flow into my hooves making them feel heavy and immobilized. If she wanted him so bad why couldn't she have just followed her mother? They did walk after all.
UGH!
"He didn't steal her." I reply, trying not to sound nearly as furious as I was.
"He challenged her. It was the honorable thing to do. Do you know what it was your mother did? She tried to steal from our family. She was sneaking around members of our herd, trying to take them away. Then she was seen taking things from the dead bodies that have shown up."
I don't want to fight with her. I just want her to go away, or to play with me, or do something other than this, but clearly that isn't going to happen. And since it isn't I just want her to understand. He'd my Father. I can't have her hating him when he doesn't deserve it.
"She chose to steal. And she chose to go with him back to the Throat. She knew this was a possibility when she tried to hurt our family - she knew it might mean leaving you alone and she did it anyways. If you should be mad at anyone it's your mother. Not my Father. Wouldn't your mother seek justice if someone tried to hurt you? That's all Father was doing. We've never done anything to the Basin and yet you attack us. We aren't the evil ones."
I've calmed down a little. I think what I said was reasonable, but that remains to be seen.
