"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!

my friend makes rings, she swirls and sings
she’s a mystic in the sense that she’s still mystified by things
The little faerie mare was always enthusiastic about starting new adventures, but as she descended from the strange blue landscape of the Veins Aisling could have positively burst with excitement. All her life she had lived on the stories of fierce warriors and brave maidens who crossed over earth and through hell on some noble quest. And now she had a quest! An actual, measureable quest from a god! And not just any god, but the one who was they very light of this world. Light! Aisling had always loved the light, in whatever form it took, and was now on a path to harness it.
She was enamored by the idea that she might soon have magic of her own, and the power to use her songs to make others see! Songs were her favorite way to tell stories, but she had never before dreamed that they might have the chance to show as well tell, and all she had to do was talk to others? The little mare was very much a social creature and the prospect of encountering five individuals did not phase her at all. Emotions, she thought those would be easy to get a handle on too, though she may have been underestimating her task. As much experience as she had with the pleasant side of that spectrum, she was strangely lacking in the negative, and (though she did not understand it now) she would have to come to appreciate more than just the joys of the heart in order to complete her task.
The little white creature hummed as she pranced through the trees, already thinking of the song to the Sun God that would be the ultimate culmination of her venture. Always eager to explore new places, she unknowingly neared the border of the Falls. She had passed near this area when she first met Kvothe, but upon meeting her new troupe leader she had traveled to the west of Helovia and had passed the northern sector completely. The heat of the summer sunshine was strong though the filtering leaves of the trees, but the mare danced happily in and out of the patches of sunlight. She would meet someone soon or she would not, either way she would always dance.

But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Aye. Laedere was still struggling to understand this floating dolphin. Ardere was interesting, in a sense, but she also couldn't quite figure out why she could feel these emotions that seemed to run through all of their veins. Ardere still moved around, doing somersaults in the air and attempting to lighten the mood as little as the tiny dolphin could.
So, today, Laedere brought Ardere with her to move toward the threshold. Perhaps she would try and garner new members to add to the Falls. Alas, the form that the fell upon first was an equine mare that seemed to be dancing around in the light of the forest. She was just nearing the exit of the Threshold and beginning to linger toward the opening of the Falls. Laedere assumed that she would not have made it into the Falls - not with the confusing entrance of the towering cliffs. Still, she moved in closer to the alabaster mare and gave a gentle whicker of warning before Ardere inched in closer to the equine.
It was only as her limbs inched in that she realized this mare was even smaller than she was. Laedere carefully ruffled her wings up against her side, fluffing them out as she always had (regardless of the hole present in one) before standing a few feet to the side. "What brings ye out towards the Falls on such a sweltering morn?" she inquired, crown tilting to the side as her eyes watched Ardere join in on the dance the tiny creature was participating in.

The quiet whicker had Aisling’s head turning towards the source, a smile automatically lighting up her face. She was always eager to meet new friends, but as that was her express purpose today, she was doubly as happy to do so. “Oh my!” She exclaimed, breathy from surprise and the heat of the day, for there were several remarkable things about the mare that was addressing her. The green-splashed body was the frist thing she notices, still so unused to equids of such remarkable color. The bandages that were looped about the mare, and indeed the gap in her wing gave the faerie mare a starts, but as the other spoke without pain, the fear of recent injuries subsided quickly.
Most extraordinary of all was the creatures that seemed to swim through the air toward her, gamboling about playfully. A delighted laugh rang from the mare like wee bells, and she spun on the spot. Though not quite the same, it reminded Aisling of the arbor-clad Fig’s little companion. Even having seen one of their kind before, Aisling marveled at the miraculous water-creature, finally stopping her dancing steps to watch it for a moment.
“Oh! I must be begin your pardon!” Her lilting voice came out in a rush when it occurred to her she had been staring at the playful creature with a rather dreamy expression for several seconds. She turned back to the minty mare, with her bright smile was back in full force and the sturdy little head dipped in a polite gesture of greeting. “I did not mean to be trespassing, that is, I had heard there was a herd that lived up this ways but I didn’t know I was quite so close already. It’s a pleasure to be meeting you, and I assume this is your friend.” She nodded to the airborne dolphin, “I am called Aisling.”

But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
As the mare turned her features seemed to light up. A wide smile that reached the pallid mare's eyes reached Laedere just as the exclamation filled the air. Instantly, she pulled her right wing in a little bit closer to her side causing her bandage to sway a little in the wind. Cracked and dried blood was caked across the tattered bandage.
Alas, it seemed as though the white mare's attention was quickly drawn toward Ardere, who was now looping around in the sky prepared to edge her way over toward the white one. Aye, her companion was far more interested in others than she was. But, Laedere supposed that it was best that they were so different - that they would balance each other out in the end.
The other mare started to speak, apologizing with the glittering smile still pressed upon her lips. Laedere mimicked the smile, though it didn't shine in the same way. Even the way her shoulders were ever so slightly downhill gave off the appearance of a wearisome soul. "Aye, tis thee exterior of thee Falls. Ye shan't be within yon borderlands yet, but ye be proximate for certain." Laedere explained, eyes flickering across the mare's frame and (for once) taking in the smaller being. "And yes, tis Ardere and mineself be dawned thy title of Laedere,"
Still, Ardere wanted more attention. So, pulling on some of Laedere's bandage, she twirls the loose end in the air for a moment. Then, once satisfied with the movement of the bloodied bandage, she began to circle around the white one in her own form of a greeting. Nay, Laedere still could not fully comprehend this little one's state of mind even though they were connected so intimately.
