"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.
Site Wide Plots
Kaos :: The Beginning of the End ☼ - 6/2017 - Kaos placed Helovia in a time-bubble for a short period of time, but the Helovian gods are fighting back. But Kaos is powerful- far more powerful than anyone thought. This may be the beginning of the end of Helovia as we know it.
Kisamoa :: A New Kind of Kaos ☼ - 3/2017 - Kisamoa asks Helovians to help him restore the Spectral Marsh. Which side will you choose?
Invasions :: All Out War ☼ - 5/2/16 - New layout and the brand new invasion rules are up! Thank you for your patience and we look forward to getting started with this new adventure.
The Rift :: Gods Do Die ☼ - 8/2015 - Helovia Gods are saving the Rift from corrupt gods! Can Helovians band together against these foreign deities?

Sky Island :: Peace ☼ - 7/7/14 - An island has appeared in the sky! Clouds carry Helovians from the Veins to the sky.
Restoration :: We Welcome the Dawn ☼ - 9/21/13 - The sun has finally risen on this day, giving the land new light, but the Time God and the Sun God have yet to be seen.
Endless Night :: Broken Magic Plot ☼ - 8/30/13 - The earth god has returned and is walking across Helovia to heal the land. Every area can now be considered lush and prosperous, but the sun has still not risen.
☼ - 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.

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!

Inevitably I can't keep track of them all, but I seriously do need to get Torleik sparring regularly. So, with that in mind, I'd like to take on two spars that could be started within the next few weeks.
I owe Heather/Deimos a seasonal spar still so that will come first.
So! Anyone who'd like to spar, I would mucho appreciate it. Any and all skill levels/VP welcome (since the EXP system is now in place). THANK YOU
I would really love to spar. I'm kind of a beginner, level wise--I've done it before but I haven't won very often... I just have Ashamin who is also particularly uncoordinated but I think he's kind of getting in his head that he wants to be a fighter. Silly boy.
I'm going to be on absent tomorrow until next Monday but maybe the week after this one we could do something, if you're interested? And idk if you do teaching spars but if you do that would be so helpful for me ;-;. I always study horses fighting and horse movement online but not ever having been around horses IRL makes it harder for me, and I've always desperately wanted to improve. No real way to do it other than to practice!
I understand if you're looking for more experienced fighters/characters that might actually prove to be a challenge though, and if that's the case I understand if you don't pick me :P.

I'd be happy to spar with you! :) I would also be happy to do my best with a teaching spar, though I'm not sure I'm really qualified to do one. I've gotten the gist of battling but I'm always seeking to improve as well - but if you'd like me to give you any kinds of tips or pointers on anything that I see (being only semi-experienced) I'd definitely do my best.
I'd probably be more comfortable giving you feedback on the writing itself rather than the horse realism just because I've only been around horses for a small part of my life and not regularly at that, so if you're okay with that being more of the focus, then let's do it :)
That timeline's good! I'll make a note to get in touch with you after Monday to follow up!
That sounds great, thanks so much Redgod. <3 I'm excited to RP/spar with you for the first time!

Nyx x him? I'm trying to get her sparring regularly, and she'd love to see what her new king is made of c: (plus we've never threaded which is saddening)
Other characters have permission to use magic/violence against Nyx at any time.
We need to get this SialiaxTorliek spar done xD maybe after her and Gaucho are done they could, and it could be like he owed her one, so he did one with her?
@[Torleik], you still interested? I'm off absent now and have no wait time for spars (since I haven't done any yet :P) so I'm ready whenever you are. :)

Holy shitballs. So I decided to turn off email notifications to people responding to threads and clearly this was a mistake. Also going on a week off from school meant I did NOTHING and checked NOTHING because bawse ass bitch.
Okay. I shall update my list as best as my travel-addled brain is able.
@[Ashamin] - yup still interested! Just derping, kinda. The semester is over and I wanted to do wholly nothing for a whole. damn. week. because I could so I decided to be dead to the world.
I probably should have updated my absence buuut lazy.
Anyway, I'll see if Heather/Deimos really wants a spar and if not I'll get yours going asap and slide in Deimos second. :)
@[Zandora] and @[Grimalkin] were also wanting to spar with me (and I am starting my new job tomorrow) so if you want to hold off or push me later in the list I don't mind at all, whatever works best for you.
