"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 wish I could have slowed things down, or had a companion to help me remember the details of what was said ... it all seemed to happen so fast ...
... and suddenly I was screaming.
Growing up alone is not okay. But it happens. No one can stop it, it is just something that occurs. "ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE." Not my best phrasing, but at that moment I just couldn't help myself. I needed to give voice to the pent up rage that I was feeling, and I had no control over the wording spilling out. Or at least it didn't seem like I did. "WAYS TO STOP GROWING UP ALONE STEP ONE: DON'T HAVE KIDS IF YOU WON'T BE THERE FOR THEM. STEP TWO: SEE STEP ONE." I sound impossibly bratting, but I don't care. This mare is going to lecture me on how my life is okay, and how these things just happen and then follow it by saying she'll probably just fuck off and leave this mare who apparently changed her life so much? I didn't really like Aurelia at first, but I like her a whole lot more compared to Destry.
"So what? You two are just going to have a nice little fucking family, and then oh well so sad if things don't work out? You'll just take no responsibility for what happens as soon as you have a child, because no one can stop it when a family falls a part? Is that how you sleep at night? By telling yourself that all the terrible things in the world - all the things that you do - are just out of your control?" I don't have much testosterone in my system, but what little I do have is racing. At least my parents would accept responsibility for being away.
I fall silent as Aurelia beings speaking. As she does, my judgement of liking her more than Destry immediately disappears. She just abandoned her children? Would it have been too much for her to eat those weeds that Mother eats, to keep herself from getting pregnant? How irresponsible can you be!? To just bring life into the world and then abandon it?
"Just because others have it worse does not mean my pain doesn't count." I snap at her, annoyed that she somehow is using her bad past mistakes to take away from what it is I'm feeling. "I understand others have it worse than I do, but that doesn't detract from the legitimacy of what it is I'm feeling."
Bitches, the both of them.
If I could hear Aurelia's thoughts, I too would find it hilarious that the whole point of this conversation is for Destry to gain insight for a quest - especially one to start a family. You've got one mare who already had kids and just abandoned them, but at least seems to care for her partner. Then you've got Destry who seems to give 0 fucks about putting in the effort to make things work, and would rather just use fate as a scapegoat for all of her problems.
These two... suddenly Mother and Father don't seem so bad afterall.
With my ears against my skull, I watch Aurelia sulk away. I wonder if they'll both just leave now. I sort of hope they do.
