"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.

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 was about damn time something interesting happened around here. It was the honest to goddess thought that flew through Erthë's mind as she received the summons to attend a lesson, but she chose - wisely perhaps - to not speak it out loud. Though Alune was kind and gentle most of the time she thought he could be weird at times, strict about the strangest things and hardly lifting a brow at others. She liked him a lot, but there was something about his seriousness and tranquil serenity that made it hard to talk about certain things in his presence.
Maybe today would bring about a change in that.
With no idea what to expect but oddly excited none the less, Erthë traipsed happily along to the designated meeting place and arrived early, well ahead of the appointed time. Why they had to meed at night was beyond her, and she could not really see the need for the large clearing where moonlight cascaded down from a clear sky. Not understanding did not mean she couldn't appreciate it however; she was content to settle down amidst the swirling mist and listen to the soft night breeze as it rattled through the barren branches of the trees. The silvery light from above lent both creeping fog and her curving horns a ghostly glow, and if she squinted slightly Erthë thought she could see figures take form in the corners of her eyes, skipping and swaying creatures of the night that came to watch the lonely girl, so silly to be awake at this hour.
Erthë didn't mind. If they were actually there, or even if they did not exist - if they were but a figment of her imagination summoned by the magical night of a full moon - it did not matter. She was perfectly at ease amidst shadows and the looming trees, secure in the firm belief that nothing evil would ever be able to reach her there, under her Lady's watchful eye.
She waited, but she did not have to be alone for long. Others approached through the mist, and as they joined her she turned and offered a smile, eager and with curiosity blazing in pale, softly gleaming eyes.
"Oh, hi! Is it about time now? Looks like I was a bit early..."
Erthë
and my knees are shaking - - and my dreams are breaking - - but i know i live today
Blue feathers swayed softly in her antlers as the mare danced slowly through the misty lands. She enjoyed the mysterious lands more than she had ever enjoyed another place. Steel eyes flashed gleefully as she swayed through the swirling mist. Life had been fairly dull hanging out in the same place all the time, even if all of the stags running around. Tiva had kept to herself exploring her home. She wanted to learn every inch of the misty evergreens that she called home. Now she was on a mission to learn about the positions within the herd. For the first time in her life the dancer felt the need to help out the others that lived with her.
Humming softly she made her way through the land towards the meeting spot. Solid eyes found the body of a young white and sky blue mare. A warm smile spread over her dainty face as she made her way into the clearing. The girl's voice was warm and excited mirroring her own emotions. "You weren't that early dear." She smiled brightly and stepped closer curiously. "Forgive me, I haven't met very many of the equines here; I'm Tiva." Her pretty antlered head nodded slightly, not really out of respect but just in greeting. "I don't know about you, but I'm pretty excited to learn more about everything here!" Her voice was full of laughter and excitement.
Pupils eyes roved over the dense trees for a moment before turning her attention back to the shorter girl. "How long have you lived here dear?" Her head cocked slightly sending the beads and feathers swirling in the slight breeze. She always enjoyed the way the blue beads clinked together when she moved. Tossing her head she flipped her wild braided mane over her neck enjoying the way the cool air hit her warm neck. She might not be the most social of creatures, but it was nice to speak to someone besides the Earth. "How many others are coming today?" She smiled softly as she watched the youngster wondering where her mother was. Sure she had left home at a young age as well, but it was still odd to see someone so young alone in a herd.
Let's cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment
Dacianna had never had an organised lesson before. Previous lives had taught her to dig holes and how to hide from scary monsters, but nothing really along the lines of Gods and magic. The elderly had always liked to tell tales of grand fantasies with flamboyant magic and gallant heroes, she had fallen in love with many of those heroes in fact, but they were just stories. They weren't real. Not like here.
Nervousness and excitement bubbled in her chest, a common occurrence since arriving in Helovia as she tried to navigate through her new life and understand the brand new world that had been thrust at her feet. The roan even had magic, she knew it turned her hair white and she couldn’t control it, but she didn’t know why she had it or anything else about it really. Always it didn’t seem to matter, half the time she never even noticed the change and it wasn’t like it was useful, like Alysanne and her healing powers. That was what she wanted to know more about.
Who were these Gods also, the Earth and the Moon she had seen, but who were they? Her eyes drifted to the full moon above as she thought of that mysterious meeting. That one. Her God. She wanted to know more about the lunar immortal who was patron to their herd and even more so, if she was to serve as her priest.
With quiet ease, she moved through the night, heading towards the meeting spot where she noticed two others already waiting and she fell to a halt next to them. “Erthë” she smiled to the young girl whom she recognised first, glad to see someone familiar even if she hadn’t yet gotten to know her very well. When her gaze turned on the other, Dacianna found she didn’t recognise the spotted mare, but offered the same gentle smile to her also “I’m Dacianna, or Daci, if you prefer” she introduced to the pretty unicorn who called herself, Tiva.
As she fell silent amongst her classmates, she listened to the conversation in peace and enjoyed the sense of comfort. Now and then she still felt like the odd mare, the one back of the room nobody really talked to or knew about. It was the kind of animosity that came with starting life again in a new place, a process that took time and the gaining of trust. Yet, waiting here for a lesson with two others who were looking to learn about the same interests, made her feel a little less like a stranger and more like a horse of the Edge.
“I too would like to know more” she eventually added with a wistful sigh “since being saved from the Rift I’ve got more questions than answers” she admitted with a quiet snort.
