"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.

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!

Ranjiri</style> in this world full of people there's one killing me and if we only die once i wanna die with you</style>
It was disconcerting how quiet Gaucho was after I asked him to teach me. I had actually begun to think that he was going to tell me no, that he had better things to do with his time. I, very quickly, made up my mind that I wouldn't let him tell me no. I would make him teach me so I could protect everyone that I loved. I couldn't stand by and let anyone else I cared about die. I couldn't... I just couldn't let it happen again. "Teach me." I don't know where the sternness in my voice came from, but I hoped that it would make it clear just how serious I was.
I was unprepared for Gaucho's attack. It was actually embarrassing how unprepared I was for the wall of fire that shot toward me. A panicked squeak slipped past my lips as I tried to dodge it by banking to the right, but my left wing caught the sudden rising warm air from Gaucho's fire and it threw me off balance. I thought I was going to go into some kind of ... of death spin that would end with me splattered all across the sand below. I beat my wings furiously to try and regain my balance and I had just steadied myself when Gaucho attacked again.
Once again I was unprepared.
The sight of Gaucho coming after me and Mara's hisses struck a chord of fear in my heart that had me frozen. I couldn't think, I could barely remember to keep flapping my wings, I could only watch him as he came at me and when I realized that I needed to move it was too late. I don't know if it was his knees or his hooves that struck my square in the chest, all I knew was that it hurt and that it was suddenly very hard to breathe. A split second later I realized that I was falling and I panicked again and I snapped my teeth at Gaucho's mane as if that alone would keep me from falling.
I was aware of the ground getting closer and closer but ... I don't know. I felt like I couldn't make my body do what I wanted it to do. I think it was strictly instinct coupled with dumb luck that made me suddenly extend my wings so I could glide, but I was already so close to the ground that my knees were dragged through the sand. I never imagined that sand could be rough enough to scrape away hair and flesh and leave something that looked like burns. I grunted and beat my wings against the air to gain some altitude, but I was ready for it to be over after just one attack.
I could hear Gaucho saying to always be ready and I was embarrassed once more at how apparent it was that I was unprepared. How could I ever hope to protect anyone if I couldn't even be properly prepared for a spar? I ground my teeth together as I rose higher into the air even though I would much rather my first fight be with my hooves firmly planted on the ground. I had to prove to myself and to Gaucho that I could do this. That I wasn't a waste of time or a lost cause. I tried my best to get behind Gaucho and slightly above so that when I flew at him I could try to beat my hooves against his back.
