"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!

She refused to take any of his bullshit, something managed to both anger the boy and fill him with relief. Part of him wished she would just let it go, just let him go on pretending that it was okay, that he was okay- that she would let him use her as a way to hide, because it was so much easier to pretend to be happy when you didn't want someone to see you sad.
On the other hand, Zero had never been great at pretending to be something he was not (not in the make-believe sense - he was fabulous at that). It was too complicated, too hard, too muck like trying to hold back a river, or stay out of the rain. Eventually something was going to get in, and the harder he resisted the harder it became. He wanted so much to let go, to tell her everything, and yet...
And yet he was afraid. Afraid that by being weak, by being sad, he would somehow disappoint her. Badasses never got sad - he certainly couldn't imagine Gaucho ever being sad - and if they did they didn't show it, and he had promised to be her badass, after all. He'd made that promise, and others, and now as he stared up at her earnest gold eyes the sinking realization came to him: he'd already failed her, because after all, had he even gone looking for her after Ampere left? Zero had been so preoccupied, so caught up in his own stupid grief, he hadn't even thought about the promise he'd made to Själ, that he'd give her a home where she'd never be alone.
He'd been just as bad as Ampere. Just as bad as her Ma.
"Själ..." the boy whispered, his voice trembling beneath the weight of his own self-anger (self-pity, if we're being honest), "...how can you even offer that, after how awful I've been? I- I promised I'd bring you home an', an' then everything got so messed up an' Ma was gone an' I jus'- I mean, I didn't mean to, but-"
He struggled, faltering, the passion in his voice rising to another strangled sob. Zero stared forlornly at his hooves, unable to look at her anymore, unwilling to face the hurt he was sure was in her eyes.
(He was really getting this whole martyrdom thing down.)
"I'm sorry, Själ," he whispered at last. "You're my friend, an' I promised you wouldn' be alone, an' I know your Ma left you, an' I shoulda come back an' found you sooner." The boy paused, his sunbeam eyes clouded as he stared fixedly at the ground. "How come we hurt the people we love? "
At last the boy looks up, his bright eyes pleading as they searched her face, his espression a hopeless mask of confusion, of despair. "I never wanted to hurt you, Själ."
