"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!

His eyes alighted from the brief encounter of their faces; a low spark, a hint of intelligence perhaps. He wouldn’t have been able to tell, and the feeling from its rare combustion had no description. His response - merely reactionary to the internal spaces of his mind - marked the mix matched lips with a rare smile. One that did not last long without the fuel to keep it growing. As soon as he had turned his head forward, it had long since faded. Capturing what appeared to be hesitation to Masanori. With a second thought he wondered if she would bark a warning for the brief gravity his eyes had fallen from. But to his surprise her long silence came with a reply he didn’t entirely expect.
“Bound by soul, then?”
… we are bound for life, she said. Masanori could not think of any other bond deeper. The idea of love was a concept the stallion knew very little of, and perhaps there was some physical component attached to this idea. The days of his childhood – he knew he must have had one – would not peel back the thick mists that clouded his memory. He was not sure what he might expect. Were he anyone else, perhaps he would have wished for a certain upbringing. Would it have made him stronger, he thought?
Sometimes he would fancy these trivial thoughts for just a moment. Simply because he could not control them – a fool’s game that the fool might enjoy playing. He had enough perception that there was no point to this game, no time wasted on a past forgotten. Bend as he must to the strange and wondrous things in this life, surely, he would find his roots and take stake.
The paint took another deep breath in through his nares. Just to smell the wolf once more. At least it was real.
His gaze wandered about to view the terrain, his ears twisting for the sound of any others. Despite the rich aroma lingering in these halls, there were no others he could hear or see with his eyes. Perhaps they knew these woods too well, and avoided the sight of one accompanied by the mare. Without thinking twice he continued to walk beside her in the thick and wooded path. The light was dim here, partially blocked off by the spider web branches overhead. It reminded him of the dreams, of his ‘companions’ in the dark. Enchanting the stallion, as if by a spell or twist of magic.
“Perhaps.” He seemed to muse along. “There are many though, who will die trying. Seeking becomes obtaining and preserving.” His lips stilled briefly then. “I imagine there are very few things that last eternally. Perhaps it comes down to what’s worth fighting for.”
The stallion’s head bobbed in response to her reassurances. Not far now. He gave little notice to the brambles as they hitched along his feet. Especially as the meadow spread out before them, bringing his heart to quiver. The colt residing in him enjoyed the open pastures, and made his legs ache to race through their pristine, shapely curves. He lowered his head slightly, tossing it to remove the wild locks from his eyes, before raising it high. Resting the weight of his haunches with enough coil to spring him forward, should that need reach beyond its threshold. And yet, he stilled himself for her words.
“I’ve never been in one before, a herd.” Looks to unabashed, and again quieted. Not only for his thoughts, for they seemed to take time now and then to take voice. But because he wondered what sort of response he would invoke upon the mare. “But I’d like to find out.” His eyes sparked again and took another appearance. They embodied the boyish nature of a colt; an energy to explore and test all boundaries. Perhaps a large smile would complete this picture. But he lacked this component.
