"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.

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!

Hear me, oh Dowager (dowager – gender ref) of Legend (has a legend title )
'Tis to honor Thee I call
Long haveth Thou roamed (outcast) +1 | Rank: Yep, this is what I was thinking of.
, far Thine name hast spread (one of the oldest characters on site) 0 | Being an old character doesn't mean her name has spread. We have old characters who no one knows about, and we have brand new characters (like Erthe for example), who are already widely known.
Treasure and Wisdom unto Thee bequeathed (has multiple items and magic) -1 | Having magic doesn't make you wise? And she only has one item and one amulet. Bequeathed also means that it was given to her (so I was expecting the treasure or wisdom to have been given to her by someone else).
Thine completed aspect drifting twixt Terra and Firmament (has upgraded transformation magic that allows her to fly by gliding rules as a dragon) +1 | Magic: Yep, I was looking for someone who could fly.
Did naught to reveal thine obscure visage (magic makes her blurry and hard to see) +1 Magic
I extol Thee, so bewail me not
'tis but subsidy I seek
Midnight (color ref – mirage is black) +1 Appearance: Yep
and Moonlight (dedicated to the moon, per profile), +1 | Alignment: Yep
alloyed empress (has a golden dragon companion) -1 | Alloyed means composed of more than one metal. Her dragon is only 'composed' of the one metal. not only that, but there was nothing in this clue that made me think it was a reference to a companion.
a Unique something to remember Thee by,
oh Venerable Sovereign of yore ( former leader of the Edge) +1 History
+4 is a pass from me.
[Also, if it's for an outcast you can reveal after 48 hours - you don't have to wait until the herds have used up their guesses.]
Hear me, oh Dowager (dowager – gender ref) of Legend (has a legend title ) +1| [Gender ref] yessssss +1| [Name ref] LT clue spot on
'Tis to honor Thee I call
Long haveth Thou roamed (outcast), far Thine name hast spread (one of the oldest characters on site) 0| [Rank ref] hrm, this seemed to suggest age more than rank, and for age it would have been fitting, but you chose to count it as rank and I'm not sure it applies enough, particularly since many within herds could still be considered to roam often. 0| [Repuation ref] although she does have a legend title and had a rich history in the past, Mirage's large and long absence doesn't really provide credit to this clue, and just being an old character doesn't make her well known, in fact it could be said when she was a newer character she was better known, because then she was active.
Treasure and Wisdom unto Thee bequeathed (has multiple items and magic) +1| [Asset ref] I thought about this for a while but decided to score it because Mirage was/is in good standing with the Moon and participated in some teaching-based quests and was gifted some of her items, most notably her bracelet's ability to grant darkness.
Thine completed aspect drifting twixt Terra and Firmament (has upgraded transformation magic that allows her to fly by gliding rules as a dragon) +1| [Magic ref] pretty clever clue since it could easily seem to be a pegasus reference, but it works! I think it was wise to phrase it as 'drifting' since she can only glide.
Did naught to reveal thine obscure visage (magic makes her blurry and hard to see) +1| [Magic ref] yep!
I extol Thee, so bewail me not
'tis but subsidy I seek
Midnight (color ref – mirage is black) and Moonlight (dedicated to the moon, per profile), alloyed empress (has a golden dragon companion) +1| [Name ref] yerp +1| [Relationship ref] yessss 0| [Companion ref] alloyed certainly gets me thinking of metals (gold) and empress (queen), but this didnt lead enough to get me to her companion.
a Unique something to remember Thee by,
oh Venerable Sovereign of yore ( former leader of the Edge) +1| [History ref] perf 8/3 necessary to pass
