"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!

The boy had never seen anything like it. The world went on forever. He was standing between two pieces of sky, or was he flying, or was he falling? In a place like this Zero couldn't really be sure. His laughter echoed across the endless expanse, and then his shouts, and then laughter again, intermingling and dancing loudly and ringing in his eager ears. The lightning boy grinned.
He'd been told about the new worlds, but of course being a kid he wasn't supposed to go until they'd proven it was safe. He'd spent weeks sequestered in the Throat, chafing against stupid imaginary constraints. Well screw that! Nobody was dead, and nobody had told him specifically he couldn't leave anymore. It's not like the world could hurt him if he just went and looked a little, right? Besides, he'd take Squishy along. Squishy was great at keeping him safe.
Four hours later and he was staring into an endless mirage of a perfect world, sunbeam eyes wide as he strove to take it all- all what?. There was so much nothing, and it was so weird, but also so cool, and the boy was mistified. He'd thought it would be a beach like home, because it was so close to the ocean and that was how he'd come to understand the beach. But this was nothing like the rolling shores and jagged rocks of home. The world here was a disc of perfect calm, The dents left behind by growing hooves filled as soon as he shifted his weight. Squishy had gotten stuck in the soft sand more than once, zapping unhappily until Zero came and pushed him on. That was the only problem with this place, really, because aside from that-
"This is awesome!"
just one mistake is all it will take to go down in history
Areli the flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly
Around the river and through the woods, to the Dragon’s Throat she went. It had been weeks since she had last seen her brother, and Areli had decided to pay him a visit. How happy he would be to see her! She knew that she was the center of Ilios’ world, and she smiled to herself in gleeful anticipation of the attention he was sure to pay her. She knew that her family loved her, but things at home hadn’t been the same since he’d left. Mama had grown more distant, and Papa seemed to be always patrolling the borders. That left her with Bee. The wolf pup was great and all, but she liked games that Areli couldn’t understand. Where was the fun in stalking mice, for example? Or chasing one’s tail? She just didn’t see the appeal. And so the girl trotted through the trees, making for the south and seeking more appropriate company. Bee loped along at her side, happy at the prospect of an adventure, and in this way the pair was journeying when they came upon the topsy-turvy world of the Flats.
At first glance, the sight was rather disorienting. Areli couldn’t tell which way was up and which was down; it was almost like she had fallen into the sky, but her hooves were still planted firmly on the ground. She took one tentative step, and then another, and before she knew it, she was running and shrieking across the flats, kicking up a salty spray behind her. Was this what it was like to fly?
OOC: ONLY ONE MONTH LATER…so sorry for the wait, Charks!
