"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!

Hollow’s chocolate ears swivel this way and that absorbing the sound of every drop of water and the rustling of whatever manner of small creature scurried along her path. Curiosity being the curse of both cats and foals she presses a little further into the surprisingly warm cave as emerald eyes sweep back and forth over the rocky terrain. A memory tugs at conscious thought and she almost gives into the hazy sensation of standing on the outside observing the recollection. Her present circumstances, alone and venturing down a strange path, allow her mind to grasp firmly at the present. She is positive she knows which memory would plague her now anyway and the idea of losing herself in that particular one holds no appeal. Mismatched feet carry her further down a tunnel until the heat becomes stifling and a bright glow to the left captures her attention. What in the world? A wall of scorching lava burns a track down the wall and she watches in a horror filled moment fully anticipating the fiery substance to spread and consume her.
A full minute later a breath is released she didn’t know she held and joints slowly unlock themselves; the lava keeps to its track and it is then she realizes there is something in front of it shielding her. Small hooves cautiously walk closer, her breath huffing against the crystal and forming a cloud where it hits. Forest eyes widen and she begins to laugh, the stored tension leaving her shaking body. A greeting interrupts her and the sound dies in her throat as limbs and ears jerk to attention. Turning she heads back to the opening, the voice sounding similar to hers in terms of youth.
She did not wander terribly far from the entrance and quickly reaches the surface, grateful for the semi cooler air. Before her stands a younger filly with beautiful touches of blue and gold woven into her appearance as well as a sharp horn protruding from her forehead like her adoptive father, Ilios. Head tilts to one side, though she never believed him to be a liar, it is still reassuring to see evidence of others like her; different and utterly unique. Before she can fully leave the cave entrance and introduce herself to the girl a masculine voice breaks the silence, his accent surprising her though not nearly as much as his appearance she sees as hooves take her to stand next to the filly. ”What are you wearing?” The words blurt out and she quickly colors in embarrassment. ”Oh forgive me.” She lowers her muzzle to her chest while her right foreleg lifts to a ninety degree angle briefly before she looks up, sending her gaze between the unicorn filly and the…well I’ve no idea what to call him. Smiling in secret amusement she addresses them both, ”My name is Hollow, who are the two of you?” Where she might normally be wary of a strange male, his attire and comical (not a bad sort of comical) appearance render her more at ease than usual.
