"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 :: 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!

"IT IS AMAZING HOW COMPLETE IS THE DELUSION THAT BEAUTY IS GOODNESS."
- LEO TOLSTOY
Enough.
She'd had enough. She was confused. She had a headache. She still didn't know what the hell was going on. She'd been ripped from her home and landed in this less putrid version version of it. Now it seemed like a game of pick-a-god-any-god and go for blood seemed to be unfolding. Magic was flung back and forth towards the wolf-god of the Rift and the purple Goddess who had evidently brought them here.
It was too much. Just too much. The girl closed her eyes and shook her head - wishing it was all a dream and that she was back in her own twisted sanctuary again - looking for that sense of peace that always seemed to evade her. But the explosions of light that were still visible even with her eyes squeezed shut were more than enough to convince her that such a wish was both feeble and foolish.
Tatiana was neither of those things.
Green eyes flicker open and she focuses her attention on the wolf. The wolf who smelled just like the sick, diseased lands of the Rift. That was all it took for her anger to ignite. She would have peace, and she would not have peace while this living disease infected the earth. Her green eyes grew hard as determination burned in her chest - warring with the innate distaste for conflict she harbored since the death of her family. She was a healer, not a fighter. A caretaker. But this moment called for her to become a soldier.
Watching Dvorak step into action without a second thought was all it took to inspire her. He was brave. He was always brave. And even when, deep down, she was terrified, she could be brave too.
The gold-tipped antlers were not a weapon equivalent to the magic possessed by so many of the others. But it was all she had. That and sheer will. She knew the antlers would wield far more damage than the tiny dagger strapped to her foreleg. She took a deep breath and lunged with a hardened gaze and gritted teeth - seeking to gorge the wolf with the four sharpened tips of her antlers in one of its most vulnerable places - the ribs. Magic exploded all around - including a near blinding explosion as Tatiana was only strides away from her target and she braced and leapt for the ribs, hoping that perhaps the beast hadn't seen her coming.
Tatiana certainly hadn't seen where she was going after the explosion so she could only hope she had hit her mark. She landed and turned - putting some distance between herself and the wolf, all the while she tried to clear her vision but she staggered - she was still seeing spots after the overwhelming, unexpected light. "Chyort," she murmured, under her breath, and blinked rapidly to bring the fuzzy images around her into focus.
TEAM GODDESS
Tatiana attacks the wolf with her metal-covered antlers by aiming for/lunging for the ribs just after @Tandavi light explosion attack. As a result, she's experiencing some temporary vision problems post-attack.
