"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!

d'Artagnan cursed as his lunge to bite his opponent's white ear missed it's target and instead simply shaved off some hair, the boy was quick on his feet and in thinking. Blood coloured ears flicker backwards in anger as he made a dash away from Aaron, realizing the momentum he had been carrying had left him wide open for attack. So it was a surprise when the Nightshade turned back to see the oncoming attack that, in fact, there wasn't one. Apart from an intense concentration on his foe's face. He grimaced a smile what, is he trying to stare me to death. The smile turned into a chuckle as he surmised that the draft was simply all bark and no bite. Although that ground shake was certainly something, maybe he'd run out of stamina. Hard to believe, with a body so muscled as his. It was when d'Artagnan was slowly letting his guard down it came.
Searing, burning it raged on through his body. Fire! It burned but it didn't. The Nightshade screamed in agony and began to back up. His instincts were in a mess, the thought of fire told him to flee, yet the flames themselves didn't burn. This was worse than the ground shaking, he would of preferred the shaking ground over this! His body lurched with the sick feeling pain brought, his head held high and away from the flames. Eyes showing their whites. The Nightshade's sanity snapped and forward his legs took him, anything to get him away from the flames. Away from the pain. With a flurry of hooves he turned his rear to the flames defensively. Flicking up his rump now as he galloped. His ears flickered between the fire and Aaron, a wildness about his pace.
Spurred on by necessity to get away, the shade collected himself and attempted smashing into Aaron's left side at a gallop. His rump flicking up again with no real aim to it, face no longer contorted with anger and instead a fear of a horse against fire. There was no real coherency to his thoughts and actions. d'Artagnan had never faced fire, he was a clan war veteran and well versed in the minds of warrior tactics. This however he was not. Magic was rare where he came from. Ironically, Seiren would have been a better match for his arrogant child who used his demon talent to trap him.
The fire in his body raged on and d'Artagnan slowed to a halt now positioned behind Aaron. Hurting and recoiling within himself, is this ever going to end?
Has this child... This boy... Defeated me?
Teeth grit at the angered thought but his huddled stance remained.
[w/c :: 452 | 4/4
ooc commentary :: d'Artagnan looses himself within Aaron's fire attack and screams out in pain. Hurtling at a gallop in attempt to escape it, d'Artagnan barges himself into Aaron and throws in a random buck. Carrying his momentum forward to now be positioned a few yards away from Aaron, withdrawing within himself in pain.]
