"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 :: 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!

So do I believe in the creepy crawlies? I don't know. Should I? I don't really think so. But I'm not so smart. And despite this mare's craziness, she doesn't seem too stupid. She said she lived it, right? And who would make up their past just to scare someone? Or maybe I'm underestimating the cruelty of some horses. But then, she doesn't seem so cruel, does she? I mean, she apologized, she's trying to make conversation. Ugh! I just don't know. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I don't know what I'm supposed to feel or what I'm supposed to believe. This place is so new, so confusing. And to have the lights turned off and the darkness squeeze upon us- its just too much for me.
Kahlua watched the painted mare smile and Kahlua maintained her own. At least, it seemed, they would be able to get along despite their original differences. A good thing for Kahlua. Making enemies of allies was not a pastime that she should make a habit. Kahlua was not outright fearful anymore- but insidious thoughts crawled within her still. The cracking of the tall grasses far off from the fire pit caused her heart to wrench. Luckily it was just the shifting of the unforgiving winter winds. It was a funny thing to be afraid but also feel like you had no reason to be. They were intricacies that even Kahlua could not understand about herself. Perhaps everyone had demons to fight- even the simple minded inhabitants of Helovia.
I cannot, as much as I would like. The painted mare's words came to Kahlua and she flicked her tail just slightly. Her life had always been a series of her, doing what she liked to do, for herself. She understood the concept of loyalty but it was always a little difficult for her to implement. At least her 'likes' were often things that aligned with the 'likes' of the herd. Otherwise she probably would remain homeless, as an outcast. As the mare continued speaking, Kahlua watched her pale face and icy eyes. She really was a beautiful mare. The fear, from both of them, had made it hard to appreciate. “Perhaps we can walk together, then? Kahlua said the words almost before she knew what she was saying. Still, she liked them. “I'm afraid I've found myself a long way off from home in the World's Edge- if the night is as dangerous as you say it is then it would be pure foolishness to attempt to cross the land now.” Now, how to finalize her thought? “Would your mother welcome a stranger during these strange times for a night or two, if only to sleep on the borders?” Her voice was bright, hopeful. Was she trying to drown out the little fears that lived within her still? Perhaps. Even she didn't know.
OOC| Any thoughts on my RPing, Boom? It's been 5 years, so I feel a little rusty. I'd welcome any critique, if you have the time.
