"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!

Mesec’s laughter joined Ampere’s as she accepted his invitation to play and dance among the storm clouds - the sound dissipating all doubt that existed in him just moments ago. He wondered if he would ever stop second-guessing his actions around her, wondered if he could have the courage to bridge the gap between them and not drift away again as quickly. But even those thoughts were too heavy to be carried up here as they alternated between chasing each other, gentle nips and touches passing between them. Each time the wind brought her voice, her laughter, to him he only felt lighter.
He would have stayed in flight with her as long as there was still energy enough to pump those wings but that energy was failing and, thankfully, Ampere slowed and signalled that the time had come to descend. Tired as his muscles were from the exertion he was reluctant to leave the sky and the false-sunlight they created there in the night as they laughed and played.
Back on the sands, with his silver-lined wings folded and his four hooves on the ground, he still felt light and smiled warmly at the gentle wuff of air from her. The initial awkwardness gone, and only his usual awkwardness remaining, he returned the gesture with a soft touch of his own.
They fall back into silence but as Mesec walked beside Ampere, he noticed that she was fidgeting - her wings not staying settled and looking as though she were trying to sort something out, trying to find the words to say something. He watched her with one silver eye - focusing on their dark path ahead but wondering all the time what it could be that was on her mind. Still, as was his way, he did not ask. He waited patiently, believing that if there was something that Ampere wanted to say she would bring it up - and he would not harass her to speak her mind before she was ready.
And finally, the words came and they surprised him. She asked after his mother and whether he had spoken to her since she was exiled. Though his ears flicked back in aggravation at the topic he didn’t refuse to answer her. Would he have refused Ampere anything? He avoided speaking about his mother whenever he could but it wasn’t a topic that he could block out forever. He wasn’t a colt anymore, ignoring his problems would not make them go away.
The storm opened upon them, as if beckoned by the topic. But silver eyes were not watching the angry turn of the waves - they were focused on Ampere. “No, I haven’t. I avoided the Edge for that reason.” He could have, he knew that, but he had not wanted to and he had been afraid to go seek her out. He did not want to hear more of how what she had done had been right or hear the word balance when it was used to justify murder. There was no annoyance in his voice when he asked his question, just solemn curiosity. Had something been brewing in his mother’s absence that worried Ampere? “Why does her absence trouble you? I do not think we will be without her for long… she’s not the type to be kept down.” Sooner or later, she would find her way back - she was, after all, part of the balance that governed Helovia. Her brothers couldn't keep her in exile forever and Mesec had simply assumed she was trying to weasel her way out if it already.
