"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.

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!

The golden vixen stared out over the cliff's edge with glazed over eyes, looking at the ocean without truly seeing the waves or hearing the rush of water. Jahzara was lost in the depths of her mind, her mentality morphed by the latest of events that had triggered her least favorite hallucination to pull her into the darkness. How long had it been since she had been trapped in this mental state? Too long, far too long. The last time Charles had fully trapped her in this state had been before her arrival to Helovia, and this was not a welcome feeling that had returned. Sure, she was moving, breathing, eating when her body demanded such, but she was merely an empty shell walking around. Her body was automated, going through the motions of life without emotions, without communication. For those that greeted her, what was once a bubbly and vivacious mare with a filly-like temperament was now a dull, unresponsive expression.
This was the way that her brain attempted to protect her from further trauma, though she never seemed to figure out a way to escape this mental prison on her own. All she could do was wait for the phase to pass. In the depths of her mind, everything was dark and quiet, as though nothing from the outside world could be processed. Jahzara wouldn't even know how long she had been in the dark, would not be aware to any harm that may have come to her physical being, completely missing any attempts at conversation. This loneliness terrified her on the inside, where her only company was the wispy, smokey draft hallucination named Charles. Charles blocked out even Lily, drowning out everything until he deemed it safe to unveil Jahzara to the world once more.
'Why did you do this Charles? I didn't want to come here!' Her thoughts screamed and pleaded with the figment of her imagination, demanding set her free to no avail. His raspy voice would barely whisper the answer to her questions, merely giving simple responses such as 'not safe', 'invasion', 'changes'. Jahzara was aware that an invasion had been happening for the Falls, but did not partake in the battles and stayed behind to watch over the Edge. However, Charles apparently disapproved of her responsibility engulfed her in his shadows. This alone terrified the girl, not knowing if the members of her herd, her family, were safe. Not knowing what was happening to her home, unsure if she would come out to a land of destruction and missing friends.
The presumed dangers had passed, and now there were many changes in the works for the World's Edge that would involve decisions needing to be made. Knowing this, Charles slowly began to drop his shadow, setting the mare free from her own mind. Ever so slowly, she began to realize where she was standing, the sounds were becoming clearer, the salty smell of the sea mixed with the musk of the forest returning to her senses, her vision focusing at last. For a moment, the golden mare just stood there, her eyes scanning the horizon before her. There was no other time in her life where she had been more terrified to turn around, to see the potential damage that had wrecked havoc on the world behind her. Horrible thoughts ran through her mind as she worked the courage to look over her shoulder to see that her home was still standing the way it always had been. With a sigh of relief, all of her muscles relaxed, she hadn't even known that she had been so tense.
"I wonder what all I have missed..."
