"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!

Resplendence it's what you feel but can't articulate outloud
Valiance most definitely approved of this brute before him. Why? Quite simply? It was because this brute actually acknowledged him and didn't focus his entire attention upon Resplendence as if she were a piece of meat to claim for himself. There was a bob of his head as Nocturne asked if he could be friends with Valiance and Res couldn't help but to give a small laugh at the way Valiance took the attention.
Alas, as she offered him a home (in far more words) he stopped her, confused. Still, she managed to keep the smile until she had finished speaking and he began to speak again. He said he would be honoured, but spoke of resting first. Then, he also said that he would defend her if needed. "Yes.. Night fall should be soon anyways, so we can rest for the night before journeying back west…" she responded, nodding her head before glancing around - Valiance taking to the skies to scout for any groves that they may rest in.
From there, he said that he would be happy to join her family, agreeing with the main focus of the herd and then saying if she pointed the way that he would join. It was as those words fell that Valiance returned, frame landing upon the ground between the two and offering a few clicks to gather the attention. "He found a grove, mostly protected, that we can rest in for the night," she explains, before Valiance takes to the skies to lead them to that area.
Upon morning they had headed out, Res explaining a little bit more. She offered the leaders' names, as well as a basic overview of each of the positions that they offered. Valiance stayed to the skies ahead of them, managing to keep Res on the path away from other equines as they continued their trek, and for the next two nights, placed them in the some other (mostly) protected area to rest in.
On the third day, they pulled up closer to the wall, glass glittering upon the ground in warning before Res' voice reached the air again. "Watch for the glass shards - we don't need anymore injuries," she warned, mind trailing back to Dominus and how he had impaled himself with glass. "What field interests you the most? Perhaps we can find the head of one so you can get more information if you don't wish to choose the healing route," she said, tilting her head once they had gone inside the herd land and back to safety. "And thank you, so much, for accompanying me back here…"
@[Nocturne] -- joining thread, let him post first and then whatever field is choosen (if not healing) it would be great if a representative of that field could come help introduce him in further ;3 Continued from Here
Relief filled me when she agreed to rest. I had not, quite, noticed the darkening day around us but I was new and, admittedly, unobservant. Valiance led the way and I quietly followed along behind, watching the red dragon once he had located a place for us to rest. The night was quiet, peaceful and soothing. It had been a long, long time since I had felt welcomed just by a land itself. The dreams, when I finally did drift off after Resplendence, were quiet. Peaceful nothing that let me rest.
The journey the following days was peaceful. There were no threats getting her back home and I learned more than I thought I would just traveling with her. Miss Resplendence was better at pacing herself than I had expected for the advanced condition she was in. Glass shards... My eyes widened in surprise at this heads-up. I lifted my hooves, carefully, eyeing the earth around me. How disturbing that there were glass shards!
"Thank you,"What field... to be honest I hadn't thought much about myself in any of the offered fields on the way up here. It hadn't occurred to me that she would be explaining them for me to choose from. I gave her a sheepish look as I thought about her question, my long, lion tail swirling back and forth behind me. "It was my pleasure, Resplendence, sincerely" I smiled when she thanked me again, pressing my weight back onto my hindquarters as I thought.
"To be honest with you I do not see myself in any field quite as well as that of healing. I'm just not... I suppose aware enough of the world around me for the others and I can see myself stumbling into disasters trying anything else but herbs and aiding others I believe I could manage well enough," and if I was never adept I could at least help those who were in tending to another, couldn't I? Yes... that could work well enough... There was always philosophy. I did enjoy learning but... no, the healing may be better for me.

Resplendence it's what you feel but can't articulate outloud
She felt relatively at ease around this stag. Firstly, he wasn't too much taller than her, so he wasn't hovering over her (in fact she could almost easily look him in the eye without having to crane her neck). Secondly, he seemed to be far too clumsy to be too much of a threat to her (though he definitely appeared to be a threat to himself at times). He thanked her for warning about the glass shards before saying that traveling with her had been his pleasure.
The smile upon his maw was mimicked upon Res's as the glitter that shed around her gave off a bright pink glow. "You not scared." Valiance chirped happily and Res could only smile a little wider at that thought. Why? Because, it was true. For once she was not completely afraid around strangers. Alas, she moved onto asking him about the fields, his lion tail flickering back and forth as he thought. He said that he was interested in the art of healing, which also kept the smile upon her face. "Oh that's wonderful!" she chirps, ear pricking forward before she starts to half-scuttle half-waddle her way toward her garden.
"This way then!" she said, voice a little more lighter than before. "I'm the Moon Doctor, so I'm the head of the healers in is herd. You'd become a nurse and help with the maintenance of the herbs as well as learn basic first aid in case if it is necessary to keep someone alive until one who had magic could get there. The other Moon Doctor is Alysanne and we both possess healing magic from the Moon Goddess - the patron of our lands. This allows us to heal by using the shadows to mend whatever wounds there may be. And, recently, I gained my own magic to heal by singing - so my hair will grow and wrap around the wound, then glow as it heals." She pauses, shaking her head as she continues toward the garden. "Anyway, that's not as important. The Edge has a garden that I started, and have been taking care of for the most part. It's where we grow all the herbs that we need, as well as a few poisons in case if someone tries to do something stupid to us…" Yes, my dears, Resplendence will use the poisons, she has done so before. Though no one believes that she could ever actually harm someone.
Then, as she finally came up to the garden - one greenhouse wall present - and her own cove created from the canopy, she stopped at the Edge. "And here it is! What would you like to know, specifically, about the field?" she inquires, happiness flickering across her orbs.
sorry for how long I took as well ._.
