"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.

☼ - 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!

“No, I actually got him from a cat, believe it or not.” No wonder Vesper thought her zephyr was a whale, if she had received it from a fish. “Maybe that’s why he looks different from your whale!” He offered with enthusiasm, earning another rush of annoyance from Lucius. But while Mesec was focused on the foal, the zephyr was happily greeting Everly, releasing a small coo as he inched towards the smaller zephyr. He was very aware of how small she was and didn’t want to accidentally hurt her.
While Mesec was trying very hard not to stare at the filly - was that rude to do to a foal that you thought was your own? - he found that she was looking at him - giving an appraising look as though she were trying to figure something out. And not just something. The bright filly commented on the subject that was racing through Mesec’s own mind - they matched.
Before the demi-god could say anything (what would he even say?) they were no longer alone.
The sound of small hooves scrambling over the ground grabbed the attention of Mesec and Lucius and they were both surprised to see a small, winged and horned colt that almost perfectly matched Vesper appear and bee-line it right for his, presumably, sister.
So there were two.
A son, a son!! Mesec’s mind raced ahead with his heart, ignoring his feeble attempts at being pragmatic and the lack of actual proof.
But he wanted this, wanted to find out that he was their father, and any revelation to the contrary could not be thought about in these precious moments where it was a possibility. Even Vesper had made a comment about it - they did match.
He watched as the two greeted each other, the actions filled with affection. Mesec felt like he was intruding but he couldn’t bring himself to move away just yet - feeling that same strong pull that he did when he was around a family. He wanted that, desperately wanted to be a part of one - he was a shadow on the outskirts of so many it would be wonderful to actually become a part of one.
After a moment, Vesper pulled away from her brother long enough to make introductions and though Mesec’s smile was shaky - he tried his best to make sure that it was a bright smile.
“It’s nice to meet you Virga.” Mesec lowered his head a little and tried to smile encouragingly to the nearly all black colt. How do you even talk to foals? Was he supposed to be talking to them differently? Or was it good to talk to them like anyone else? Mesec tried to remember how he talked when he was with Zero, but they just talked. And it was hard for his mind to pick out the happier memories of Zero when he had been repressing the most recent ones for so long. Well, hopefully he would figure it out soon.
“Is your mom around? Can I help you guys find her?”
