"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.

Restoration :: We Welcome the Dawn ☼ - 9/21/13 - The sun has finally risen on this day, giving the land new light, but the Time God and the Sun God have yet to be seen.
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!

- - - - - By my verdict MURDER is the winner.
SVETLANA -- post 1 (attack only)
[Realism] + 1| Attack: rear and strike with hooves + 1| Attack: biting
[Prose] + 1| Emotion 0| Flow - 1| Easy read. Your attacks at Murder were confusing as to whether they were happening or not, based on your word choice. MURDER -- post 1
[Realism] + 1| Defense: glancing strikes to withers - 1| Defense: no mention of the bites + 1| Attack: ducking under her rear and quickly coming up + 1| Attack: buck
[Realism] + 1| Defense: hit in chest by horns 0| Defense: taking the buck – you had ample time to evade or at least have this glance off you. + 1| Attack: land on top of him
[Prose] 0| Emotion + 1| Flow 0| Easy read – confused as to whether Svetlana fell or not, what do you mean by slithering over the ice? And did this occur from the chest strike or the buck? MURDER -- post 2
[Realism] + 1| Defense: hit in the rump by her landing + 1| Attack: bucking out at her stomach 0| Attack: bites at throat – you said he was sprinting away from under her and only termed ‘bound towards her’ with no mention or turning around. Doesn’t seem there’d be enough time or close space to accomplish this.
[Realism] - 1| Defense: you wouldn’t have had the time to completely evade his horns to your shoulder. + 1| Defense: avoiding wing joint being caught. SVETLANA
[Bonus] + 1| Terrain
[Injuries]
None.
[Creativity]
None.
Comments: You have a very good idea for how horses fight, but I would like to see some more specifics when you attack, such as left or right and a better handle on timing since you seemed to play some things as back to back and others as not. Your first post was beautiful, but I was disappointed when the actual point of the post, the start of the spar, felt like a short and rushed paragraph at the end. Other posts throughout the spar felt very fast and rushed, which took away from a lot of your prose, especially your emotion. I could see you trying to get Svetlana’s thoughts and feelings involved, and I know you can do it because of your first post, but the others felt lacking. If you could make more posts like your first one it’d be amazing! MURDER
[Bonus] + 1| Breed + 1| Terrain + 1| Health
[Injuries]
None.
[Creativity] + 1| You write beautifully and I was laughing in every post.
Comments: You have a great talent with providing emotion and injecting the character in every tiny bit within your posts, from internal thoughts to actions and reactions, it all came together and made it a joy to read. You did remember to include a breed and surrounding reference, but I would have liked to see more on how their differing sizes and the treacherous snow/ice setting impacted the fight. You have a good grasp for positioning, timing and the physical mechanics of a horse fight, I know you’ll do well! TOTAL
SVETLANA - 68
MURDER - 76
