"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.

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!

Murdock felt his rear hooves connect with LOCKET’S fleshy rump as the Arab turned his hip in to take the blow. It was a clever move on the chestnut’s part, and Murdock grit his teeth in frustration as he missed his mark. The Unicorn was quite a bit smaller than him, and as such his lighter build was aiding him in dodging attacks. Turning back toward LOCKET as the stallion slid to a halt, he blinked against the light of the sun as its golden rays struck his face. His opponent had set his sights on Ophelia now, with revenge in his eyes. The chestnut lunged out with his teeth to catch the white mare on the neck, kicking out at her chin as he passed. Murdock’s body tensed, prepared to come to the aid of his leader if she should require it.
As the small stallion twisted back around toward him, finished with Ophelia, Murdock steeled himself for his opponent’s next attack. His muscles tensed as LOCKET ran toward him, weight shifting back onto his hindquarters as the Arab slid to a halt and rose in a low rear. Cloven hooves struck out for his right shoulder and Murdock reared up on his hind legs, striking out at the Arab’s chest in a counter-attack. Given his advantage in height, LOCKET’S hoof connected with his right elbow instead and Murdock grunted from the sharp pain as he leaned away to the left. His wings were spread for balance as he twisted away from the chestnut, emerald eyes falling upon Ophelia as she rushed toward LOCKET with her head lowered.
He threw his weight to the left, forelegs extended as he jumped away from his adversary. Hopefully, Ophelia would manage to keep LOCKET busy and give him some time to prepare for another attack. Turning toward the south, his hind legs pushed off the moist soil as he lunged into a canter and circled the Arab to face his left side. Damp grass whispered against his sides as he turned toward his opponent, the cool wind sweeping across his sweat-dampened body. Spreading his wings as he galloped forward, he pushed off into the air as he approached the Arab. Wings tilted upward to slow his airspeed as he swung his hindquarters forward, hind legs coming down toward LOCKET’S back in an attempt to strike him in the center of his spine.
Murdock’s weight carried him forward as gravity pulled him back toward the earth, his hooves digging into the soft soil on LOCKET’S right side as his feet connected with the ground. His elbow ached in protest as his weight was thrown forward, wings still spread to maintain his balance. He leaned onto his forehand as he struck out with his hind legs for LOCKET’S right knee, attempting to land a debilitating blow to the sensitive joint. His heart hammered in his chest as he tucked his wings into his sides, cantering forward a few paces before turning back around to face the chaos of battle. Their enemies had begun to fall as victory came into sight, excitement and noise clouding his mind as he shifted his weight off his right foreleg.
(Summary: Murdock rears up onto his hind legs as Locket strikes out at his shoulder, taking the blow on his right elbow and aiming to hit Locket in the chest with a counter-attack. He jumps to the left as Ophelia rushes toward Locket, circling around him to come up on his left side. Murdock lifts off into the air as he jumps toward Locket, aiming his hind hooves to come down in the center of his spine. As he lands back onto the ground, he aims a kick for Locket's right knee.)
