"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!

The trip back from the threshold was an uneventful one, well unless you consider a tangle with a notorious raccoon an event. Little bugger had no plans of letting us by her hideaway which just happened to be right along the paths borders. Luckily they had Kiara on their side and a firm scary look from her was all it took to convince the coon to let them by. Making a mental note of the area he would aim to avoid it from then on so they didn't have any further trouble. Checking his stride many times to ensure that he was not walking too fast for the tired mare to keep up he managed to find a easy medium that was comfortable. Kiara who was not one for chit chat and gossip chose to wander along ahead at her own pace keeping her eyes on alert for any hidden dangers in the darkness.
"There are four main herds here in Helovia." He went on to explain from a previous question that had been brought up by Daetiin. "You have the Dragon's Throat, The Edge, The Basin and the Hidden Falls. The Falls is by far the best considering be have all the beauty and the semi normal temperatures, not that I am biased or anything." He added with a playful wink.
It was nearly sunset by the time they crossed over the borders but the silver stallion took a minute or two to enjoy the view laid out before him. Between the massive waterfalls and the rolling hills it was surely a sight to be seen even in the fading light. "Welcome to the Hidden Falls. If you have any questions feel free to ask anyone. Everyone here is quite welcoming and friendly."
I followed the steely knight, only concerned about finding Oultik as soon as possible so I could escape from these magicless lands and get back to what I was good at. Emeralds danced from side to side as I took in the scenery, out travels only stopping slightly when a brave raccoon tried to deter us from the chosen path, only to be scared off by the black striped feline. Ink stained ears disappeared into travel tangled tresses as I slunk along behind my welcoming committee. Hoping that the border of this Hidden Falls wasn't too much further off for fear of my cloven hooves falling right off of my spotted limbs.
"There are four main herds here in Helovia." My attention was dragged back to reality as the warrior's deep baritones filled the nearly silent air around me, "You have the Dragon's Throat, The Edge, The Basin, and the Hidden Falls. The Falls is by far the best considering we have all the beauty and the semi normal temperatures, not that I am biased or anything." One of his eyes was covered quickly with a steel lid before a smile flashed across my molted features, there was no need for him to talk up his home as I had agreed already on following him for the time being. Who knew, maybe I would find some reason to stay in these magicless lands, even if I couldn't find Oultik. The idea of having to travel back to find the other two members of our band made my head spin with exhaustion. "It sounds wonderful knight. I quite look forward to getting to know the Falls myself for as long as they will permit me." All I knew for the time being was that getting a good nights rest before beginning the hopefully final stage of my search for the spotted stallion was all I could think of.
We continued moving until there came a spot where the sun just barely peeked over the very tops of the hills that rolled across the horizon, it was here that the battle scarred stallion and his dangerous companion stopped and his voice filled the air once again. "Welcome to the Hidden Falls. If you have any questions feel free to ask anyone. Everyone here is quite welcoming and friendly." My spiraled tiara bobbed up and down in acknowledgement to Ciceron's words before I looked away to take in the lands that I would now be calling home, if only for a short time. "Thank you. Tell me, what jobs are needed here?" If I was going to remain here, I may as well make myself useful while I can.
"talk talk talk"
In the dark I hear your heart beat
I tried to find the sound
