"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?
The Literal Ship ☼ - 2/8/15 - Oh no! You have to pair up for Valentine's day!
Sky Island :: Murder ☼ - 10/25/14 - Vesta has been found dead on the island, and the gods have called to you to solve the murder!
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.
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!

I was recombinant at birth
all of us are
But recombinant again
abnormal normal
I am not a native
but I have found my home
Who am I?
Undertow has come to take me. Guided by the blazing sun. Look at everything around us. Look at everything we've done.
Please. Anyone. I don't think I can save myself. I'm drowning.

I am a complex thread (Species Ref; Unicorn x Pegasus)
woven on a simple word (species ref; Hybrid)
I am raven and rust (appearance ref; mostly black. Raven could mean wings as well. Also personality ref; likes to impersonate his brother (a bay))
twice raven and once rust (relationship/lineage ref; bred with Zunden (another black hybrid) and created a bay foal – could also mean Caleb and his father were both black, yet his brother was Bay.)
I was recombinant at birth (species ref; Hybrid)
all of us are
But recombinant again (lineage; Is a father to another Hybrid)
abnormal normal (species ref; Hybrids are fairly uncommon in the Basin, yet fairly common to see around Helovia)
I am not a native
but I have found my home (history ref; not originally from Helovia and not originally from the Basin.)
Who am I?
Permission given for moderate power play.
Feel free to use magic/force on Rexanna, without killing her.
Please tag in every post!

I am a complex thread
woven on a simple word
(personality) He is a complex character
(trait? of some kind) He speaks in a very simple word structure
(both clues are very literal)
I am raven and rust
twice raven and once rust
(appearance ref) Raven = black bird, rust = brown ---> he's a bay color base
(species ref) Twice raven meaning that he has wings AND he is black and they are black wings
I was recombinant at birth
all of us are
Setting up the word recombinant since it just means genetically made
But recombinant again
abnormal normal
(Asset ref) Gaucho has "genetic mutations" which is a cause of recombination; since he wasn't born with the genetic mutation, he was recombined "again"
Abnormal because he has more mutations, but normal because thy just increase the number of a natural thing (all characters can have magic and companions)
I am not a native
but I have found my home
(history Ref) He is not native to Helovia
(personality/history? ) He has repeatedly said that the Throat is his home
Who am I?

I am a complex thread
woven on a simple word
(personality) He is a complex character
(trait? of some kind) He speaks in a very simple word structure
(both clues are very literal) 0 :: While not misleading or untrue, as Gaucho is a complex character; but, it is not a unique feature to him. Most, if not all, characters on Helovia can be argued they are "complex" in some manner. +1 :: His language is very simple.
I am raven and rust
twice raven and once rust
(appearance ref) Raven = black bird, rust = brown ---> he's a bay color base
(species ref) Twice raven meaning that he has wings AND he is black and they are black wings +1 :: Appearance reference, bay. Great. +1 :: Pegasus reference.
I was recombinant at birth
all of us are
Setting up the word recombinant since it just means genetically made 0 :: Fluff
But recombinant again
abnormal normal
(Asset ref) Gaucho has "genetic mutations" which is a cause of recombination; since he wasn't born with the genetic mutation, he was recombined "again"
Abnormal because he has more mutations, but normal because thy just increase the number of a natural thing (all characters can have magic and companions) +1 :: I thought this mutation clue was quite clever. I thought of either this or a hybrid. 0 :: While the explanation makes sense, with the abundance of mutations in Helovia it is not really "abnormal" to see mutations.
I am not a native
but I have found my home
(history Ref) He is not native to Helovia
(personality/history? ) He has repeatedly said that the Throat is his home +1 :: History reference. +1 :: Personality reference
I am a complex thread
(personality) He is a complex character 0| [Personality ref] too vague
woven on a simple word
(trait? of some kind) He speaks in a very simple word structure
(both clues are very literal) -1| [Personality ref?] He actually speaks his native language rather often which is not simple, and compared to when he first joined, his speech is much better.
I am raven and rust
(appearance ref) Raven = black bird, rust = brown ---> he's a bay color base +1| [Color ref] easy peasy
twice raven and once rust
(species ref) Twice raven meaning that he has wings AND he is black and they are black wings +1| [Species ref] this was a pretty tricky clue I must say, but I think the explanation makes plenty of sense, even though I didn't personally reach that conclusion alone
I was recombinant at birth
all of us are
Setting up the word recombinant since it just means genetically made 0| [Fluff] not applicable to the character
But recombinant again
(Asset ref) Gaucho has "genetic mutations" which is a cause of recombination; since he wasn't born with the genetic mutation, he was recombined "again" +1| [Asset ref] Another really clever clue that was really well explained on reveal. I was a bit worried at first with your above line saying you were 'setting it up' but I don't feel this line depended on knowing the other at all, just made it look pretty lol.
abnormal normal
Abnormal because he has more mutations, but normal because thy just increase the number of a natural thing (all characters can have magic and companions) 0| [Asset ref] I like the idea behind this one, but just way too vague to solve alone I think, can point to so many characters. Plus it's another asset ref that you already got a score for.
I am not a native
(history Ref) He is not native to Helovia +1| [History ref] YUP
but I have found my home
(personality/history? ) He has repeatedly said that the Throat is his home 0| [History ref] another too broad clue that could easily fit any character. 3/3 necessary to pass
