"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!

I got this walking thing down. Or...well enough that i wander away from Mum's side and aaaalllll the way across the field we call home. The grass is tall and it tickles my belly when i walk, so i don't walk. I bound through the grass as if my legs were springs and my falls didn't exist. Me? Fall? Ha no, you got me mixed with someone else. So there i am, bounding across the grass as graceful as a deer(okay, maybe a deer with two broken legs... BUT A DEER) and enjoying everything.
Because DANG there were a lot of things to see. Like, alot.
Like for instance, there was this funny hopping thing i was chasing. It was green and speckled and had weird legs and when it hopped i mean it hopped. I was hard-pressed to keep up with it. I even abandoned my attempt at being graceful in order to keep up with it, my spindly legs wobbling and hooves stumbling on the uneven ground. I move as fast as i can, trying hard not to stumble and fall.
"Wait!" My cry is useless, i soon loose sight of the hoppy thing. Tired, but not willing yet to return to Mum, i scramble ontop of a flat rock, surveying my surroundings. This entire field was home, was Mum's and mine's and Tempe's and Da's. Ours. Mine. My wings(Mum called them that) unfurl and stretch out as i hold my head up high. Maybe... since the hoppy thing was gone, i'd play Pretend.
Yeah!
I could be a knight or a prince or a villain whisking away a princess! I could Pretend and be as tall as Da and as graceful as Mum and Da(Cuz they like...flowed. As if they weren't touching the ground at all! Unfair.). Oooo wait, i could Pretend the grass is lava and the dirt is safe! I turn to call out to Tempe to join me, but she's not there.
Pretend was no fun alone. Tempe was back with Mum(I think), and i didn't wanna go back yet, it was fun out here. My wings drop and i lower my head, glowering at the ground as if it was to blame. Stupid ground.

So yeah, I've wandered a long damn way from Momma's side. She and that thing she calls Keiran have been annoying me since I made my birth appearance or whatever. My legs still wobble time to time, but that's not going to stop me. I had slipped away while she ate. I don't even think her thing saw me leave. Good thing I ate a big breakfast and lunch. So I head for the mountains near the Falls. After all, if I'm going to get stronger I need to learn to climb. I don't have a super cool horn like Dad does. Momma doesn't either so I guess that's why I don't. I wonder if others have those kinds of things? Guess I'll find out the more I explore.
I find this one HUGE mountain, with an oh so convenient path that leads up. It's kinda high, but i'm going to try anyway. I bound forward, kicking up my heels with my new found freedom. Was this what it's like to be an adult? I sure hope so. I can't wait until i'm big and strong and don't need Momma anymore. "Wait!" I look around. I'm alone on the path, and it's narrow enough that I'm not going to close to the edge. The voice sounded like it came from up top. I keep going, I want to see what is at the top anyway.... Maybe i'll make my first friend! Though I really don't need any to be honest.
As I reach the top I see someone who can't be much taller, or older for that matter than me. Hey! I call out. I'm still learning how to use words. So I hope I can pull this off without looking stupid. I move closer, my dual colored eyes watching the stranger. My head turns to the side slightly as I notice them... He has things sticking out from his sides.... and not one... BUT TWO HORNS!? Oh come ON! HOW IS THIS EVEN FAIR! I shake my head slightly and snort. I wanted to be cool to... So far i'm just an ordinary girl. Not fair at all.
Typi non habent claritatem insitam; est usus legentis in iis qui facit eorum claritatem.
Did the jumper just answer me? My head jerks up, but i'm not greeted with the sight of the hoppy-thing like i hoped, but a person. A person. She's a tiny person like me too. Instantly i'm curious, and i hop down and bound towards her, excited.
I stop before i could run into her and ruin my first-ever interaction with another person like me who's not Tempe. "Hi!" I chirp, then i blink. She doesn't have the fuzzy things. I turn and look back at my sides, then at her, confused. She doesn't have poke-y things like Mum or me either... So she wasn't like me but wasn't like Sis. Weird. "Hey where you fuzzy stuff?" My tongue trips over the words, and i lifted my wings to show her. Maybe she figured out how to take them on or off? HOLY MILK that would be cool. Not sure why, but it would just be cool.
I realize that i'm being rude, and i quickly clamp my fuzzies to my side. "Breccan." Wasn't there a word or two supposed to go before that...? Nah, couldn't be. That sounded right. Anyway, i turn and bound back towards my rock, scrambling back up on it before turning to her with a grin. "Wan' play?" I hoped yes. Pretend was so boring alone, plus it was worse around Mum. Laughing kinda ruined the whole effect, you know?
"Sis not here though." Kind of a bummer. I'm sure Tempe would be excited to see another tiny person like us. We seem to be a rarity, us tiny folk. Cuz i'm positive i haven't seen another soul on this field beside Mum, Tempe, me and Da... and Auntie too.
