"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!

The flames that burned silently and without heat on Gaucho's wings were nothing compared to the flame that he still carried in his heart for Mauja. The pain and guilt that etched and blackened his soul had not been relieved for seasons, and it was a weight that was starting to break his back if not already his mind. He had lashed out at Ophelia once when that fire was hot and new, but even after all this time the sight of unicorns - of white ones especially - was enough to blur his vision with blood and hate. Mauja had drawn he and Midas away and then just slipped into the sea. Like nothing. The Dun had returned to the death and destruction of his home and of his family.
And it had been the white unicorn's fault.
Seeing him now, in this unexpected circumstance did not ignite the fire in Gaucho's belly the way he might have expected. Mauja was here. He was next to a dead body, and yet ...
Perhaps it was Ophelia's presence. She had taught the Wildfire many things, either knowingly or not, and today some of those lessons were brought to bear.
Gaucho descended from the skies in a flurry of feathers and fire, his large hooves sinking easily into the earth. He was still unable to see for himself, but through Mara's borrowed vision the entire scene unfolded around him clearly.
He couldn't tell who the burning body was - it was all charcoal and stinking flesh to him, for Gaucho had never met the dark empress. It didn't matter though. The dun had returned to this island time and time again, looking for clues that were missed, silently hoping to find another murdered body so that he might stalk the murderer ...
But finding Mauja with Ophelia was the last thing he had expected.
"YOU." He bellowed, ears against his skull as he lightly stepped forward. Gaucho was not intimidated by the horned creature, nor the fire that licked away at the Empress' body.
His gaze (via Mara) shifted to Ophelia, and his entire body shook for a second. It took every ounce of willpower within his dark body to not simply kill Mauja right then and there. Could he? He didn't know. The creature had disappeared into the ocean once. But there was no ocean here to mask his escape. Gaucho thought he stood a fairly good chance. Still ... He would heed Ophelia's previous council ... besides. He had a power that they didn't know of.
The Sun God had bestowed to his herd the ability to see lies. They were told that hooves of liars would burn should their lips speak falsehoods.
"You kill her?" The dun demanded, antlers lowering dangerously. Just because Gaucho had decided not to try and impale Mauja immediately did not mean he would not be shown the same courtesy.
