"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!

One council was over, but the queen knew that she needed more. It was not so easily that her ruined life could be put back together. In the end, she did not even have to think about who she would go searching for. Evangeline had always been there to give advice, to guide, to council. No matter what concern the poor queen had managed to have, Evangeline had found sage words to give her. Truthfully, it had been far too long since she had seen her emissary. It was just that the call of the gods to find the murderer had been weighing so heavy on her as of late. It was frightening to know that around every corner, death could be waiting for you. There was no pattern to the victims, no sense to made of it; at least, there hadn’t been.
With the killer’s identity known now, it was easy for the queen to sleep, in some ways. Except that now, as she moved through this forest with wide belly and wide eyes, she feared at every turn she might run into the Lady Moon. What could she possibly say to the goddess? After all, the Sunshower had been given her position and her powers by the goddess. All the same, Kahlua could not condone killing. It was too much for her fragile heart.
Wading slowly through the trees with wide belly, the queen wondered where she might find Eva this night. Above her Khan flew diligently, green eyes searching for any signs of the emissary or Tallis. He had new powers to show off and he was almost certain that Tallis would be impressed. It was strange for the queen to feel his excitement mixing with her dread. A foal… She didn’t even know where to begin. She had nothing to offer it- no wisdom, no love, no family. It was a trial she had not asked for, and yet one that she had received. Could she make it through this strange turn in her life, as she had all the others? In many ways, she was not so certain.
"@[Evangeline]"
In the kingdom of glass everything is transparent,
and there is no place to hide a dark heart.
The darkness that had fallen over Helovia had seemed to lift, but it had not been erradicated. The murders had stopped and yet members of the Edge still seemed to be walking on eggshells. The tension felt more thick and uncomfortable than it had before the murders had stopped, but it did not stop Evangeline from wandering around her home. It made her hard to find, but she hadn't been needed by anyone for quite some time. She had not seen or heard from Kaj since Thor had fought with the golden stallion from the Basin. And Kahlua hadn't called on her since ... she couldn't remember the last time she'd spoken to the queen.
Evangeline sighed as she moved through the trees, a frown marring her pretty face. She felt strange, out of place, and a little unwanted and unneeded. For a time she had been called upon so frequently and now it was like she was a ghost walking among the Edge's misty trees. Tallis was silent as he flew overhead, his black eyes searching the ground below for anything that might be a threat to his bonded, but he found no threat. Only the Silly Queen looking a bit more round than usual.
'Silly Queen.' He alerted his bonded. He perched in one of the trees overlooking Kahlua and directed Evangeline until she found Kahlua.
"Kahlua..." Evangeline murmured the queen's name, her green eyes taking in the round belly that she sported. Had Kaj finally been able to return Kahlua's love? She pretended not to feel a small pang of jealousy and, instead, tilted her head as she looked to the black and white mare. "I suppose congratulations are in order?"
