"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!

a new world, material without being real,
where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about
She held her glass basket between her jaws, her grip loose, relaxed as she entered the meadow. The day was unusually clear for the season, though the ground still showed remnants of snow, mostly melted, turned to slush with the mud underfoot. But she was grateful for the clear skies and slightly warmer temperatures than those in the Falls.
So her gait was relaxed, and she ignored the mud beginning to cake on her hooves and canon bones. Even her tail, now long and leonine, she paid no mind to. Getting dirty was inevitable, and baths were fun, especially with Hero. As her thoughts dwelled on the small onyx dragon, he trilled from his hold in her mane. He poked his head out of the black tendrils, a flower held delicately in his claws. She flicked a curvaceous ear to the reptile, smiling at his presence.
Never before had the company of another given her such elation, let alone an animal (if you could call Hero that). But his soft trills and peaceful presence in her mind was comforting. His usefulness was still questionable, though. "We're gathering herbs today, Hero," She spoke to the dragon through the basket in her mouth, instantly puzzling the creature. He removed himself from the tangle of hair, flower still held in his claws as he jumped from her neck to fly by her head. He chirped his confusion, his blue gaze quizzical, fixated on his bonded.
She smiled, pausing to set her basket down. Flowers and petals scattered around her as she looked across the meadow, rapidly turning her head till she saw what she was looking for. Agnodice smiled, turned to her companion, and sent an image of a small tree at the edge of the meadow.
Heavy footfalls crunched on the remenants of ice as the silver warrior exited the Fall's for some much needed exploration. The last couple of weeks between sparring and running patrols there had not been a lot of time for what he considered downtime, not that he took it anyway. It had been Kiara who had insisted that they take some time just to go back to exploring and looking for any signs of trouble within the outer lands of Helovia. Not being one to argue with the striped feline he followed obediently as she blazed the path ahead obviously much more keen to the task than he was at the moment. Pausing to shake a coating of dust from his dappled pelt the stallion pawed at the ground to try and find any new sprouts that had begun to grow. Finding a unsatisfying couple tendrils he gave up on the hunt and trained his brain back to following his bonded wherever she might be heading.
Trailing along the edges of the deep forest for awhile the pair grew bored of the scenery real fast causing them to change course. There was nothing unusual to report about the forest other than the faintest signs of life beginning to bud within the warmth of the forests canopy. It was pleasing to see and he hoped that the rest of helovia would soon follow to get rid of the rest of the snow and ice. Entering the meadow the silver stag pulled his head high to scan over the area for anything of interest only for his silver orbs to fall on a relatively familiar figure a little ways off towards the southwest corner. Deciding to take a break from their little expedition the pair made their way across the mushy field to go socialize for once.
Nickering softly to draw the mare's attention he bobbed his mighty head in greeting as he came to stand withing a couple feet of Agnodice and her newly bonded. Kiara after a couple minutes of debate followed suit to come see what had drawn her bonded's attention. Unlike her silver stud she picked her way more delicately over the soft ground trying to avoid as much of the mud as possible. "Hello Agnodice." He greeted kindly. "What brings you out here on such a nice day?"
where poor ghosts, breathing dreams like air, drifted fortuitously about
A single curvaceous ear flicked to the side, the rest of her dainty, exotically lined head soon following. She smiled, excitement bubbling in her chest. The silver figure that approached was one she knew, the one who lead her here, and so in a way, lead her to Hero. The small dragon chirped at her side, landing on her poll, confusion rolling off his mind in waves.
The duchess had little interest in her bonded at that time, though. It had been seasons she had last seen the silver stallion, and she was eager for him to see how she had changed. Her leonine tail curled around her hocks, the ends dusted lightly with mud. Flowers and petals drifted quietly out of her tail and mane, though they were soon replaced by new buds and blossoms. He knew of her magic to heal, but not this, not how it had magnified since she had began her life in Helovia.
In short, she was more than pleased to see him. "Ciceron! Geia sou fíle mou!" She stated softly, slipping into her native tongue without even noticing it, for her eagerness had overtaken her mind. She offered the stallion a polite nod, stepping closer to her herdmate. Her gaze flicked to Kiara, picking her way delicately through the muddy ground. Her own bonded trilled from his hold on his head, blue eyes wide at the sight of the unfamiliar creature. 'Tiger. She is called Kiara,' the doctor commented to her bonded, causing the dragon to grow quiet as he contemplated whether or not to get closer to the big cat. He was, after all, much smaller than she. Agnodice ignored her companion, gave a smile and a nod to Kiara before she flicked her attention back to the stallion. "Gathering herbs," The doctor replied, glancing to her pathetically empty basket. A disheartening sight, but she had only just arrived. She had time to catch up with Ciceron before she began, though, didn't she?
"And what of you; what brings you here? You look well," She commented cheerily, oceanic gaze bright. The dragon perched on her poll, flower clutched tightly in his black claws, tugged at her mane, yearning for attention. "Have you met Hero?" She stated with a forced smile as the reptile continued to tug at her hair. He trilled at the sound of his name, letting loose the hold on her hair and hopping from his perch into the air, flying around the unfamiliar pair, flower still in his claws. He was showing off, for he had just learned of flight.

Letting the scent of the day sweep across his senses the stallion couldn't help the content soft sigh that escapes his throat. It was too nice of a day to not enjoy oneself especially in the company of a friend. Agnodice had been a mare he had first greeted in the threshold and led home to the Falls where she had thankfully chosen to reside. Activity had been lacking as of lately inside the borders but hopefully with spring on its way there would be a boom of activity to follow. With spring just round the corner usually he was one of the first to feel a spring in his step but with the events of this past year he felt oddly out of sorts. Perhaps it was because he knew that with spring came new life and teasing mares but this time he had nobody to adorn with his affections. While he couldn't care less that there would be no new offspring of his own running around this year it was the connection that he missed so dearly. He loved both his kids with all his heart but now that they were growing up he was seeing less and less of them with each passing season.
"At least there no crazy paint lady again." Half choking on his own breath he managed a soft chuckle of amusement rolling his eyes to Kiara's joke which really wasn't a joke. Yes that painted lady would be no where around him if he had anything to say about it. She had broken his heart in more ways than one and had left him for another. To say that he was sad about her no longer being a part of the Fall's would be a complete in total lie, he was glad that she was gone.
Turning his ears to the sweet tones of Agnodice's voice he was mildly confused by the unfamiliar language at first but just went along with it glad that she switched back to something he could understand. While he had traveled many places he however had not picked up the different languages of the realms. Perhaps he might have to consider it at a later time for this was not the first time someone had spoke to him in tongues. Kiara on the other hand paid little attention from this point on when she caught sight of the black dragon hovering around the grey mare, so she was of no help distinguishing the language barrier.
"We were just doing patrols and decided to wander a little farther for a change." He replied with a smile his eyes watching the black dragon with interest. "I take it Hero is your dragon?" Extending his muzzle to the creature gently he offered his greetings hoping not to scare the young dragon into singeing his muzzle. Fire did enough damage and this one he knew from past experience unfortunately. "Would you like some help gathering herbs? You will have to instruct us but it might go faster." He asked with a genuine smile thinking it would be nice to do something a little out of the ordinary for a change. Picking smaller plants might be a challenge for his large size but surely Kiara might have a little more success with those ones.
