"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!

Mesec’s mind and heart had become a jumbled mess of fear and hope in this last year - everything seemed to have been going so well and then disaster had struck. And he was that disaster, it was his fault. It didn’t matter that no one had really been hurt that day, the threat was still there. He was still a danger. What if Gaucho wasn’t there next time to draw him away from the foals? What if he actually killed someone? What if? That was why he was on this quest, why he needed control, but it seemed that no matter what he couldn’t actually cut out everyone from his life, even temporarily.
How many lives had he accidentally put in danger, knowing that one stray thought could trigger him? But this was one of the worst.
Zero.
He should have turned and run as soon as he heard his name being called and he recognized the voice but instead he came stuttering to a stop and his sad silver eyes looked upon a face he had not seen in so long. This couldn’t possibly end well. But he felt rooted to the earth, more permanent than the trees that surrounded them. Lucius circled around the two in uneasy circles, fearing what could happen from this reunion.
But the apologies that wanted to come tumbling out of Mesec's mouth were caught by the next words from the lightning colt.
Ampere was missing?
“What?? I thought she went back to the Throat.” Dread seeped into him as he thought of the implications of that line of thought. “This was the last place I saw her after…” He shook his head, taking a step back away from Zero though that small action had the power to break his heart. He hated this - hated that he was a threat to one of his best friends. If Ampere was gone he wanted to be there for the colt, to provide some sort of stability. That was Gaucho’s job, though, whatever Ampere had said about Mesec being in her family.
He would have given anything to be able to move forward instead of backward, to have reassurances on the tip of his tongue that they would find her again. But even those thoughts were dangerous and they formed a hurricane in his mind, drowning out everything that good and happy and leaving only a crushing sadness in their place.
It was his fault that Ampere was missing. His fault that Zero was looking at him, pleading with him, for news of his mother instead of continuing to live happily in the Throat. There was no coincidence that she was missing, Mesec's mind immediately accepted blame for it even though he did not know that Ampere had been missing since that day. But he was quick to believe it. Of course it was his fault.
“Zero.” His voice cracked as he said the name and again he was shaking his head, wishing away the dark thoughts and the sadness that was washing over him. Lucius was starting to panic, he could feel what was happening through their bond and he flew towards Zero to encourage the colt to get away. “I'm sorry I can't…” Mesec's breathing was becoming haggard as he fought to control something that could not be controlled. “You need to go!”
