"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.

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?
The Literal Ship ☼ - 2/8/15 - Oh no! You have to pair up for Valentine's day!

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.
Cotm
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!

Since this was to be her first sparing, Midas simply followed along quietly; waiting for said girl to choose a position that would provide equal favorable environment. She led him to a frozen wasteland. A sigh arose to cloud air with heavy breath, wings tightened against sides—his only sigh of irritation. Midas despised all this cold.
Meanwhile…
Partner’s energy was being spent pawing and twitching—honeyed orbs glanced over the quivering roan, reserved calm always upon his face. Energy was too precious to be wasted in effort of showing out. They separated and stood at a distance, body straightened; the metallic armored collar bumped against his chest with warm pulses. Its properties wouldn’t be used today, for this was training….not war.
Eyeing each other for only a moment, she called out first, “Ready?” A responding smirk was the only appropriate answer obtainable, jaws parted with smile fleeing as the lady charged forward. Shifting weight to hindquarters, Midas steadied his frame and anchored rear weight to earth. Chest extended with readied breath and neck flexed at an angle with jaws opening to receive her attack head on, or flex upward portion sideways either left or right depending upon approach.
She came, to the left—he adjusted frame to angle as such, and took note when slight change of direction was made. To the right! Too late to protect his upper shoulder blade from a smart nip, but not too late for jaws to swing round and attempt at landing an open mouth strike of his own along her backend portion. She slithered behind, rear jumped up with hindfeet snapping in the direction partner fled.
Leaning sideways after landing from the kick, Midas twisted right. She had paused, he did not—body shot forward to meet her slightly taller frame. Rising up when distance had been closed, wings extended and thrust inward to attempt at flogging contact across upper portion. Daggers stuck air, each a dangerous weapon that had the potential to strike her. Rear leveled itself and found a balanced position to uphold bulk and any force that came against it. Neck remains tucked to protect throatlatch.
OCC: Opening attack post (1) (0/4)
Attack: Bites at Sierrra's spine/hindquaters as she runs past. Kicks in direction she runs past. Follows after Sierra runs behind, rears upon meeting with wings extended and flapping inward to strike along her shoulder/neck/or head. Forehoof's striking out with intent on clipping her should she rise up.
Defense: Leveled and balanced while rearing, neck is tucked to protect throatlatch.
Injuries: Teeth scrap, will lightly bruise along upper right shoulder blade.
I walked the woods alone, without the company of sons or bonded in tow. A silent prayer was on my lips. Its purpose only holding worship, I stepped lightly across the undergrowth; enjoying how Tallsun was now in full swing. Life seemed more abundant, green things had begun to actually start thriving which was a stark difference when compared to how they were only a few seasons ago last Tallsun. Comfort and graduate were given though, the desert was always blistering and I felt lucky enough to be privileged with protection from the sun’s harmful rays by sheltering among the trees. Thus were the privileges of being General. My tasks gave opportunity for exploration; I was free to fly from the borders. Instead of mindlessly guarding them. I was free to bring home fresh meat, new blood to swell our ranks.
Today…I didn’t intentionally come for company; I came for the solitude and chances of meditation. I came only to pray, but like all plans of late, this one was about to get interrupted. Gleaming eyes catch sight of a shadow walking quietly among the timbers. Its frame was lean and girly, with just the hints of feathers ruffling as a gentle breeze trailed through. A mare, alone obviously and possibly new. I pause following her movements with my eyes alone before making quick decision to actually do something productive for my family today, “Good afternoon friend, I hope your day is faring well?” Slowly I close the distance between use, waiting mostly for a response before getting very personal.

Spring was finally coming to the land and with it a looming darkness. Heart tightened when a black sun arose from the hills, his eyes glanced at it with fearful wondering. Wings had closed over Cera protectively, but he couldn’t shield the child permanently. Gaze turned to the unhatched ivory that lay close by in the makeshift cradle he had fashioned from day one. Something…felt wrong. Rising with quick shakes Midas turned toward the Vein, and the hovel of his lord. The promised day had come, today was his day to return and see the weight of collar lifted. Joy should have filled his chest, but—half dread came instead.
Something was amiss.
Land fell beneath him; powerful beats led the beast on. Each thrust more earnest than the next, soon the familiar territory of his childhood and adult comfort came into sight. Its darkened colors and haunting beauty usually a blanket of safety and knowledge, today that blanket felt thin and unwashed. His love and faith was as strong as wind and sky—it was only the fear of unknown that caused trembling in a mortal heart.
Gliding to a halt, hooves stirred up dust in landings wake. Honeyed orbs finding the threshold of his lord’s mantle as limbs closed distance between. He hadn’t come to this place during Frostfall all that much, instead choosing Heavenly field or Thistle meadow to commence in prayer and meditation. Now that he was here, brow touched the cool stonework of his lord like child rubbing against beloved parent.
OOC: Midas is just returning to get his armor lightened and easier to remove.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
