"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.

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.

It was a hot afternoon as I approached these fields full of blooming thistles. They slightly rubbed against my fetlock, causing slight irritation. How I wish these annoying plants would just disappear. The sun was high in the sky, and my pelt twitched in annoyance. I felt drastically overheated, and I felt everlastingly thirsty. In the distance, I heard a rush of water, and with my dehydrated body, I ran towards the sound, eager to get any sort of water down my throat. Despite the fact that I was feeling so hot, I was very energetic and lively in my bounds, and moves, as I ran towards the water. I finally approached the rushing river, and craned my neck down, letting my dished face lap up all of the crystal clear water. I've never felt more refreshed, and now I was completely energized.
I galloped back out to the field, eager to see if I could find another horse in which to sharpen my skills with. I was very eager to fight, now that I was filled with new found energy, and I wanted to share my excitement with another horse. Maybe an opponent would appear somewhere, and I would have an incredible fight. I smiled at the thought of it. How to outsmart my enemy, what new moves I could use on them. I was starting to sound like a little colt eager to commence training for battle. I remembered my first days when I was so eager that the leader, my father himself was going to teach us. The hot air still hung in the air, but a cool breeze found its way down to the Thistle Fields, caressing me in its cold touch. I felt incredibly relieved at the sudden gush of cold air. I lifted my disked face, and saw in the horizon a summer storm brewing up.
In pure joy, I reared myself up, onto my hind legs, lifting my head into the air, letting out a challenging whinny. The whinny wasn't harsh though, but it was meant to be taken as more of a friendly invitation to whoever was out there and wanted to spar. My tone was leveled, and not threatening, and I was hoping, that maybe another horse would appear for me to fight. I was ready, and eager.

In the Thistle Meadows, and a summer storm is brewing. Archibald gets to attack first, and has closing defense. Max. Words: 800

Archibald the Dauntless
Archibald stood in the meadow with his head lowered, listening to the far off rumbles of thunder as a summer storm rolled in. Loretta sprawled in the grass a few feet from him, rolling and snapping her jaws at insects joyfully in the Tallsun warmth. The sun warmed Archibald’s dark coat as well and flies bit at his hide ruthlessly. In quick, violent strikes the Dauntless scattered the flies with his tail, skin twitched juxtaposed to battle the fiends. Chewing without a thought, something of interest perked Archibald’s head straight up. Not but a hundred yards from his grazing spot was a gray Arabian stallion, galloping in the meadow. Archibald turned his body to meet the stallion, part of his brain wondering if he should ask him about the stallion Tio, the one that Phaedra saw as such a threat to Helovia, but Archibald did not know if the Arabian would have any knowledge of the bastard. As the gray stallion drew himself into a rear Archibald’s eyes narrowed darkly—so, this stallion wished for a partner? Archibald would satisfy him today. Dismissing the thought of Tio and letting battle plans roll into his mind, the machine moved towards the gray.
Loretta jumped up to follow her bonded as he rolled his hulking body into a smooth trot, coming up on the left side of Arrane and from slightly behind him. The muscles in his shoulders pulled uncomfortably from his battle with Gaucho only days ago now. Pushing the pain down, Archibald stopped only a few lengths, each about the size of Loretta, to the left flank of the stallion. “If it is battle you want, it is battle you will get.” The Dauntless spoke, his voice booming, and fluidly his defenses set. Black as night ears pinned to his head and his neck arched, chin tucking carefully to conceal his sensitive throat. Archibald’s narrowed, golden eyes surveyed the one in front of him. Today, speed would be on the arabian’s side, but strength would certainly be on his. Archibald had fought many lighter horses than him, because most were lighter than him, but specifically he had battled Locket and Lev Fence—both extremely speedy and lithe movers. Archibald was prepared for his battle, but he knew he needed to keep Arrane close to overpower him.
The Dauntless clicks one hoof against the ground lightly, waiting for the strange stallion in front of him to make the first move. Beside him, Loretta lowers her center of balance and mentally calms herself, amber eyes darting across the stallion, shooting images of his skinny legs and thin hair to her bonded. Archibald smirked, grunting roughly, a sure sign to Loretta alone that he took pride in her knowing weaknesses in others. They were truly a team.
[WC: 464 | 0/3 | M&C: 0/2 | BBs: Swift and Endure | Archibald approaches Arrane’s left flank, slightly behind him. Setting up his defenses, he prepared for Arrane to attack first. ]
I am a weapon powerful
beyond belief
Through the ages of time
I've been known for my hate,
but I'm a dealer of simple choices;
for me it's never too late.
