"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!

comets fell from the sky,
I took your breath, you took my sorrow
Something curled and twisted beneath Thor's visage, chased shadows in his eyes, dark and vile and wrong. Kaj shuddered to see it, even if the shivers never made it to the canvas of his body. There is a distant confusion curdling in his own head, wondering what he could have said to have prickled the beast and turned him sour and vindictive. He had weighed his words carefully, chosen them with as much grace and kindness as he could summon to his tongue. How was it that even when Kaj put forth the effort to never cause harm, it was always the nettled whip that met him in return?
The words that kissed his ears like a violent lover promising a night of vengeance were too vague, too aimless for Kaj to pin down. He gazed dumbly back at Thor, not sure whether the brute was merely sore about his loss or if there was some grand injustice the golden warrior had committed against him in the time between watching the battle and approaching him. Grumpily, the king noticed that he had been the only one to approach the Gentle Heart. Wasn't that testament to how he cared for the mighty stallion, that he would return to his side and offer quiet aid even when no others did?
Eyes drifted towards the evergreens, and Kaj followed his line of sight, not sure what it was that haunted his brother and why his aura was so sharp. Like a porcupine, Thor was bristled out against Kaj, and the pale brute was merely flailing about trying to sneak a peek at the sensitive underbelly of the defensive beast. If he could perhaps get past whatever was nettling the former king, then Kaj could see the truth behind his actions, and therefore figure out how best to treat and care for his brother in arms.
Any thought of helping him was severed brutally as Thor's word snapped out, completely uncalled for, grating against the kindly ruler's ears. Kaj's eyes narrowed, slow and deliberate, and his ears did so in return as they traversed towards his cranium with a meaningful lethargy. "Do not spit upon my kindness when no other has come to thank or help you," he growled softly, not quite emanating the anger that he stored deep within, attempting to be levelheaded. Thor getting a rise out of him would not help the situation, but it did not mean that Kaj had to take his blatant disrespect either. Former king or no, Kaj gave as good as he got, and Thor would be in for the rarely seen fury of the warrior if such ridiculousness progressed.
The possibility of discussion mildly smoothed Kaj's ruffled feathers, and he nodded sharply. Perhaps if Thor simply got it out of his system, he would no longer see the need for his brattish insolence and wayward tongue. If Kaj had to play babysitter through his tantrum, then at least it would not be one of his other innocent herdmates who suffered through the temper of the defeated stag.
Evangeline's name was a surprise, a variable unforeseen. Kaj blinked in silence at the weathered stallion for a few moments, not quite sure where that particular question took root, why it had been cast his way. With yet another barbed undertone, Kaj fitfully noted. Still, he frowned heavily, feeling as if his privacy and friendship with Evangeline was being investigated. "I was not aware that was any of your business," he said simply, a quiet warning. This does not have to go there, Thor.
