"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!

Don't sell your heart, don't say we're not meant to be
Redux's mind was racing as it stored away every bit of information Leander had spoken to her just moments ago. She remained oblivious to the depths of Leander's golden eyes, but perhaps it was purposely she shied her eyes away. There had never been a time when Redux would halt her wanderlust to swoon over a stallion. The thought of a being holding such a thought for her would instantly make the shy mare bashful and awkward. She was still young after all, and unprepared in that world... not that the thought of love wouldn't appeal to her. Redux cast her eyes up to Leander as he began to answer her question.
Until he motioned to the old wound, Redux would have never caught the pink scar nearly hidden on the flank by his long, flight feathers. Her orange eyes landed on it and softened visibly at the thought of such a young creature being attacked by those of her own race. Redux turned her gaze back to the white-traced eyes of Leander as he continued speaking to her. Her admiration for the handsome warrior was clear across her light features as she listened to his story. A sweet smile remained on her soft muzzle. Redux knew that Leander had not spoken a lie this entire conversation length. He had the brave heart of a lion, and didn't have to lie in order to bring about what he needed to persuade.
A faint trace of blush was likely visible across her cheek bones as he spoke again about finding her place within Helovia. She smiled sheepishly to the winged stag once again and let a small laugh bubble quietly from her. "Thank you, Leander. I will have no intentions of being without a purpose or useless within the ranks of any group." she said, with a curt nod to affirm the statement. She listened as he spoke admirably of Dragon's Throat, a place that was becoming more and more enticing to Redux. Orange eyes were aglow with the thought of what could be; and the interesting word of slueth was appealing in her mind. The horned mare paused her willingness to look around once again. Surrounded by frosted woods that loomed with strangeness. Redux returned her gaze to the winged stallion she had now grown fond of. He was her only guiding light through Helovia at this moment, and Redux understood she would be blind without one... waste away in the snow laden lands. Unlike the others he had spoken about that would show her a wrong path, she knew Leander was helping her out of sheer kindness and goodness. Boldly, she answered, "It would be a pleasure to visit Dragon's Throat with you. Hopefully I will call it home as well." Redux smile broadened as she turned her attention back to Leander.
She moved now in a light prance over the snowy grass and away from the un-speaking, woozy horned stallion. Redux laughed and let the breath puff away into the air. "Just lead the way!" she said brightly. Her fiery, curly tresses bouncing with her small movements. The warmth flooded back into her veins as she began to move towards the south. She half-expected the stud to lead her by the sky and remove his hooves from the solid ground. Either way, she wouldn't complain of the new adventure taking place. "What's a sleuth?" Redux asked curiously while rolling the word on her tongue, testing it like she had with Leander's name.
( p.s. I like it!(: I'll be doing a switch soon, too <3 )
