"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!

[Realism] + 1| Defense: face slammed + 1| Defense: rump shoved down – the ‘back knee’ is the hock :) - 1| Injury: not enough description of the pain from that last attack sustained – having a heavy horse slam on your rump, while sliding on mud, that your hock hits the ground, is liable to hurt a lot. Too much to ignore and go straight back into a buck. + 1| Attack: buck
[Prose] + 2| Emotion 0| Flow – your defenses seemed out of order in that first paragraph + 1| Easy read GAUCHO -- post 2
[Realism] + 1| Attack: bite + 1| Defense: buck to girth - 1| Injury: no mention of pain, or lack thereof – you termed where and how the buck hit, but nothing regarding how it felt. + 1| Attack: mud crow hop
[Realism] + 1| Defense: bite taken + 1| Defense: mud to face – although you said you took it to the right eye, then turned your right side to face him and could still see? Not sure how as then her left eye, the only one left to see with, was facing as opposite of Gaucho as possible ARYEL
[Bonus] + 2| Breed + 2| Surroundings
[Injuries]
None.
[Creativity] + 1| Really enjoyed how well you mentioned the mud in each post.
Comments: You’ve improved tremendously since your last spar! I really see you digested everything you learned, and was impressed with how well you incorporated the breed and surroundings into this fight. You still seem to struggle with remembering to describe injuries and playing off injuries that you take in a fight, as I didn’t see any of her previous injuries taken in prior posts affect her in the following ones. You had a lot of great emotion in this post and I can only encourage you to continue on the track you’re already on :) GAUCHO
Comments: You have also improved so much from your last spar! I was especially blown away by your prose, each post was a real joy to read. You have a very strong grasp on the mechanics of fighting as well. I can only suggest to you to remember injuries better as well, in how they will affect your character’s actions and how to describe the pain (or absence of) with every attack you do take. I definitely would like to see more of the surroundings affect your posts as well, because for a larger horse you seemed to keep up with the speedier Aryel a bit too well and I think the mud should have influenced you more with slipping/sticking. Otherwise fantastic fight. TOTAL
ARYEL - 68
