"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!

Tilney
"And oh there is more to this life"
"I can smell the sea!" rang through the trees as the hazel brute paced swiftly downwards past tree and rock, headed at a bound for the beckoning ocean. Tilney was speaking to no one in particular, he was more or less alone. If asked he would say he was cheering to the birds as if asking to join in his jovial chorus.
This flaxen lad had only ever felt the sea spray once upon those gold locks, Only once heard the sighing of waves in his hazel ears, Only once felt the aqua between the crevasses of his cloven stones, and only once it had been that he had smelt the fresh salt in the air that the gulls so loved to soar on.
He had only happy memories of the seaside. Tilney recalled spending the better half of his second spring in a cluster of hills caught between river and ocean. Such happy memories. He had longed since that spring to feel the sand under his sharp hooves.
He did wonder as he rushed towards the pristine white sand if he had wandered too far. It would be quite impossible to return to the falls before nightfall struck him once again.
That would be another job for the day, finding a tidy hidden nook to rest for the night where he wouldn't be found. In the falls he had found himself returning to the same spot behind a patch of vines, but it wouldn't take too long until his hiding place was discovered and his secret along with it.
Finally, marble hooves bound with the ivory beach sand and he was there. The sand was deeper and harder to travel through then he remembered, and he stumbled slightly upon entry. "woah!" He gasped (again, really speaking only to himself).
A snipped nose tossed upwards and he cheered once more to the birds, socked legs scratching through the deep sand. He had forgotten that deep water was even harder to travel through then a little sand as he plunged into the beaches aqua. Within a few steps his body had travelled too far ahead of his legs, and he staggered right over. Tilney had plummeted right into the hock-deep water.
He rose, slightly started at first. The water dripped form his velvetine pelt and a merry snort escape his lungs. The time was taken to gaze at the grass dunes and the rocky shelf over head. "such a beautiful place" fell from his lips.
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Once more, Ardere had pulled her back toward the ocean. The eager dolphin forever flashing images of the gentle, lulling waves across Laedere's mind. It didn't seem to matter much that they had a plentiful amount of this clear liquid pouring from the heavens in the Falls. Aye, this sea-water was much more appetizing for the dolphin's taste.
The hooves padded along the soil, turned into sand and moved up closer and closer to the lapping waves. At least the waves always had a delicate lull to them that would offer a sense of peace to those who were willing to accept it. Though, it was only once Ardere shot forward toward the waves that Laedere allowed her wings to lightly stretch out. The muscles on her wings relaxed as she allowed her normally carefully hidden hole to come into sight.
Well… at least it was in sight until she realized she was not completely alone. Her mind had wandered just enough that she had not caught onto the flaxen stag at the sea's edge. Her audits flickered, just barely catching onto the word 'place' from the stag's words. Instantly, she jerked her wings back up against her barrel - fluffing them out just enough that they would not become sore, but would hide the majority of her missing feathers.
Her bandage looped, dried blood cracked against the fabric as it drooped across the sand and her eyes flickered straight toward the other stag. Her right side, where her missing feathers resided, were in plain sight of the stag. Though, he had a different appearance. No wings, just antlers and… was that a dead tree marking across his hide?
Ardere shot forward, having soaked her hide in the water, sucking in some of the water through her blow-hole and then spraying it just close enough to Laedere to offer her a cooling mist. There was a gentle laugh from the winged one's maw before she continued to peer at the other, unsure of whether or not to approach and say something, or to allow him to relish the waves and the salty scent of the sea-side.
