"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.

☼ - 7/19/13 - The moon has risen in the sky, heralding the return of the Goddess of the moon. Lamp trees which light the paths have grown brighter, moon flowers which grow in dark places have begun to grow and prosper and the world is brighter, filled with a new hope.
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!

Now she was confused. Hadn't Erebos just said that his parents, who were unicorns, had horns, tails, and hooves like him? So how could it be that she was a unicorn when she possessed no such traits? The only thing the two of them had in common was the possession of a horn. Was that really all it took then? One or more horns, and you were a unicorn? Or at least partially one? She inspected his tail and hooves for a moment wondering what other strange traits other unicorns might have.
"Four." She confirmed with a nod. Another difference - two in fact. Where she had four times the horns that Erebos did, hers curved backwards from her skill, whereas his protruded right from the center of his brow.
As he mentioned Aithniel, the girl felt both excitement and jealousy harden her stare. Of course she knew Aithniel, the two had triumphed over the tasks her father had given them during the flood. Aithniel was one of the few that she had met who was smart, and importantly, accepting of the girl's odd habits. They were friends, or at least the demi-child liked to think they were. It hadn't occurred to her that Aithniel had had other friends. The idea, and perhaps her naiviety, made her feel small and unsire. She tried to hide it behind an enthusiastic nod and forced smile. "I know her. She's my friend too." Perhaps it would have been more interesting had the girl known that she and Aithniel were cousins - it might help to shed some light on her heritage and the mishmash of species that she seemed to be. Sadly, she and the fire-child had been too focused on their tasks for idle chatter. Which, at the time, the girl had liked.
The girl knew what was coming as soon as Erebos offered his name. He is going to ask mine- and sure enough, he did. It only further affirmed in her mind the importance of picking the best name for herself. Had she even had a single conversation where someone didn't ask her name? The girl couldn't remember a single one - unless it was with someone who already knew that she hadn't selected one for herself yet. Her tail swayed gently as she shuffled her wings. Although she felt her reasoning was sound, the question still made her uncomfortable. The stares she usually received made her feel like those around her thought her haughty or condescending. She hadn't met anyone else who took naming as seriously as she did. No one else who understood.
Clearing her throat, the girl shrugged slightly. "I'm just me." She offered, nonchalantly. "Names are important so ... I haven't given myself one yet." She concluded, trying to pre-answer a question that she was sure he would ask.
