"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 :: 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!

It's what your brother wanted, but is it what you want?
A figure approaches from the distance bearing the exact resemblance of your sibling. He watches with bright eyes, a familiar expression on his face. The same no-nonsense attitude exudes from him, and he says a word he has said a thousand times over. "Again!" He wants to fight - wants you to prove that you can still defend yourself after your time apart.
Can you?
Are you strong enough?
Or do you even want to. You could choose now to not fight. He could be real or an apparition. If you fight back, are you telling him that you are ready for war? That you've followed the path he wanted all along, or are you prepared to make a diplomatic stand - one that ensures you can walk your own path through this winding world?
It can’t be. It can’t, but it is. Corbin. I know that face anywhere, that glimmer in his eyes, that smile. Maybe it’s a figment of my imagination, plucked from my head by the shadows. Because it can’t be him. Can’t be his voice that calls for me to fight, can’t be his teal eyes or his buckskin coat. He’s dead. They slit his throat.
Still, I want it to be him. Need it to be him. It’s not, I know it’s not. But I step forward anyway, ready to heed his command. Then I hesitate. I don’t know how to fight without the wind. I am nothing without the wind.
Am I strong enough to fight as just myself? Am I strong enough to move past everything I was in my last life?
Yes. Even without the wind. Even without him. Without a word, I nod, and launch into a rear. Not for war, not for him, but because I am strong enough. Because I will prove it.
watch how i soar.

Admin note: wind, defensive, helpful
A grin meets her rear, full of that same pride he awarded her last time they had met. Corbin, or rather, what appears to be Corbin, matches her rear with his own. His feet fire out to clash with hers, and it will feel real enough.
As he moves, fire erupts near her feet, wreathing them in a circle of war, of memory, of heat and smoke and threat of pain. Isn't that what the past is after all?
"What happened sister?" he asks, not giving away what he means, and as always there is a threat of lecture matched with a charismatic gleam.
It’s been too long since I’ve seen that grin, and I nearly forget myself. But his feet crash into my chest, reminding me. I lash out again – focus, Lyanna - before my feet hit the ground.
The heat hits first. It always did. Searing heat, roaring flames, and flickering reds. In that order. Without thinking, I call to the wind, wanting to fan the flames. I’ve forgotten this isn’t real.
The wind doesn’t come. Of course it doesn’t. Instead, his voice cuts above the roar. What happened sister? I go still, his question ringing in my ears. And then I lunge forward, teeth snapping at his neck. "You left," I hiss through biting teeth. "You didn’t come back."
Such a child, Lyanna. But I don’t stop. I kick and bite and somewhere, I think I start crying. Until there is nothing left of me to fight with. Until I’m standing still in the middle of the flames without caring if they burn me. My whole life had burned. What good was it to pretend otherwise?
“I lost everything. You promised me. And you didn’t come back.”
watch how i soar.
