"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.

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!

The dichotomy between the pair of pegasi standing before her was fascinating. The rude mare and the kindly stalli- oh, no, gelding. Xira curled up her lips in an amused fashion upon the realization that this lovely Jaydan fellow was not entirely whole. How curious it was- what bitch had he allowed to take from him his balls? She'd met many a bigoted and foolish stallion in her life, with testosterone pumping through them more quickly than their blood to their brain, and she couldn't imagine a single one of them giving up their precious jewels.
Still, it was refreshing to see in the two of them such blatant deviations from stereotypes. Had the famed leader of the throat simply been another dismissive mare, she may have turned away from the herd entirely. As much as it hurt her to even think she respected anyone, Kri's harsh and bitter words successfully folded her wings and lowered her nose. As defiant as Xira was, as self-driven and unguided as she prided herself on being, she wasn't one to spit in the face of the strong. And Kri was clearly quite strong.
It was this Jaydan fellow who irked her now, with his overly friendly nature and his kind gestures. She found him almost alacritous; considered his sweet tones almost nauseating. It was clear she simply just couldn't get along with any that she was supposed to. Which meant she would be forced to lower her head even further towards the herd territory leader if she was to gain acceptance in the slightest.
Reluctant that she was forced to ask for forgiveness, but glad at least that it was not directed towards a weak soul, she bent her head, purposefully facing it away from Jaydan's, and whinnied softly. "My apologies, sister," she spoke, recycling Kri's term. As much as she loathed the idea of finding herself related to the dull mare before her, it was better, she supposed, than finding her hooves smashed against her skull. And, well, Kri struck her as the type to have a short temper.
Jaydan dismissed their personalities as results of the sun and Kye snapped at him with a soft, clicking whistle. As much as her falcon despised the sun, Xira knew that she disliked excuses just as much. At least the huntress had calmed and loosened her grip upon Xira after the display of respect- the chestnut felt that at last she could let go of the tense feeling within her muscles.
With one last nod to the leader she took a few cautious steps to the lake, humbled for the first time in a very long one. This herd life was going to be... interesting. She wasn't sure she liked it. Still, Jaydan's invitation was welcome, and the waters of the lake were tempting. She cast the gelding one brief, bemused look before nickering softly and taking another drink in the heavy night, letting her dark eyes close as shield themselves from the visions of the stars and the apparitions of pegasi around her. It was strange how so little had felt real lately.
At the mention of herself, Kye fidgeted upon Xira's back, and unceremoniously yanked the edge of her mane. The chestnut nickered angrily, letting water fly from her mouth at the sudden shock, and then obeyed her charge and turned to face Jaydan and the leader. "I am Xira, and this is Kye. We seek acceptance into this herd." She spoke with slight reluctance and an annoyed flick of her tail. The damn bird couldn't let her have a moment of peace, could she?
