"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.
Site Wide Plots
Kaos :: The Beginning of the End ☼ - 6/2017 - Kaos placed Helovia in a time-bubble for a short period of time, but the Helovian gods are fighting back. But Kaos is powerful- far more powerful than anyone thought. This may be the beginning of the end of Helovia as we know it.
Kisamoa :: A New Kind of Kaos ☼ - 3/2017 - Kisamoa asks Helovians to help him restore the Spectral Marsh. Which side will you choose?
Invasions :: All Out War ☼ - 5/2/16 - New layout and the brand new invasion rules are up! Thank you for your patience and we look forward to getting started with this new adventure.
The Rift :: Gods Do Die ☼ - 8/2015 - Helovia Gods are saving the Rift from corrupt gods! Can Helovians band together against these foreign deities?
The Literal Ship ☼ - 2/8/15 - Oh no! You have to pair up for Valentine's day!
Sky Island :: Murder ☼ - 10/25/14 - Vesta has been found dead on the island, and the gods have called to you to solve the murder!
Sky Island :: Peace ☼ - 7/7/14 - An island has appeared in the sky! Clouds carry Helovians from the Veins to the sky.
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.
Cotm
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!

Wraiths are attacking Helovia! We need an organized force to get our loved ones into the caves, to search for the missing, and fight this evil! W.A.R WANTS YOU.
The W.A.R LORDS</style></style>
The Warlords are those with proven strategic and battle prowess. They coordinate and are involved in all aspects of the W.A.R effort.
The members of the COUNCIL are handpicked by the W.A.R LORDS, from the SPEARS, the GUARDIANS, and the SIGULS.
Ψ Midas
Ψ Deimos

GUARDIANS of W.A.R</style></style>
The GUARDIANS are an elite force who ensure that missions are carried out successfully. They aid and protect those who may not be able to defend themselves.
Ψ Africa
Ψ Cera
Ψ Sakura
Ψ Tangere
Ψ Solace
Ψ Lena
Ψ ---
SPEARS of W.A.R</style></style>
The SPEARS serve as the main attacking force in the W.A.R effort.
The SIGULS are the gatherers of information, usually working in tandem with the GUARDIANS. While perhaps not as physically strong as the SPEARS, the SIGULS provide valuable Intel which guides the SPEARS strategic decisions.
Here is what we know so far, about the wraith-threat, and what is happening with the SWP. None of this translates into IC knowledge however!
Ψ Boards are disappearing. When they disappear, we are given 1 weeks notice. If we post a new thread after the RE has posted closing the board, you are immediately infected. If you want, you can have your board moved to the Shadowlands to continue, but with very bad consequences.
Ψ During the "Giving Tree" RE, certain character's were given items with the description of (from Ampere's character records): :: [Item: Bird Feather | will provide immunity to disease and other damage for the seasons of Orangemoon and Frostfall 2013] -- Because the wraiths are spreading an infection, it seems that these characters are immune!
IC KNOWLEDGE
You may assume that any IC knowledge posted here, your character has heard if you are a part of W.A.R.
Ψ Gaucho has begun W.A.R in an effort to coordinate the efforts of those who want to fight this infection and find lost loved ones.
Ψ The Dragon's Throat has taken up residence in the Caves!
Ψ It seems that infection can be spread as a viral infection, as well as through physical contact.
W.A.R HERO's</style></style>
Our fallen brethern. May they be avenged.
Ψ Deodat

MISSING</style></style>
Those currently MIA.
Ψ Sohalia
Ψ Zenobia
Ψ Alina
CURRENT MISSIONS
Here is what we know so far, about the wraith-threat, and what is happening with the SWP. None of this translates into IC knowledge however!
Ψ Meg has gone to find Alina! - Alina has been brought to the caves safely! Ψ Try to find as many crafters as possible - perhaps we can cage a wraith and study it! UPDATE - Have Aaron and Sohalia make a cage out of glass. Lure Aurelia in, and STUDY HER. Maybe add Cashmere - doesn't have crafting magic yet, but would like to help!
Please tag me in every post! Magic/Force is allowed on Gaucho at any time.
I'd really like for Arrane to definitely to be a Spear, and Storm to be a Sigul. If it's okay, could I also offer Phoenix to be a Guardian? o.o I'd really like for a few of my characters to become involved.
Okay! I deleted all the other 'I'd like to join' threads, so remove clutter. Everything should be updated now. If you would like to switch ranks, if I (ACCIDENTALLY) forgot you, or If I made an error anywhere else - please let me know!!
Gaucho will be starting separate threads in the caves for each 'group'. If you can make it, please do!
Also, if your char is IC information, please let us know!
Our first task is going to be for the Spears to make a plan on how to go out and rescue those who need it (meaning we need to know about the 'safety' items), the Guardians/Siguls are going to be trying to coordinate building a cage to hold one of the wraiths to study!

UPDATE:
Meg and Midas witnessed the God of Earth's message here
I've made a post here to see who want's their character cured first (we'll get around to all of them eventually, but we can start here, yeah?) So one we organize/spread the word within the W.A.R. effort, we can send out groups to drag wraiths into the caves.
FAC FORTIA ET PATERE

:: permission given for use of magic and force :: please tag Megaera in all posts ::
Quilyan joined the Siguls thread and talked about the Spectral Marsh (he was there) and the Endless Blue and the... I don't remember. Whatever was next. (word of mouth)
I've also started a thread where he and some others are going to start trying to organize a "written language" of sorts for communication (Psilo's idea!), including trail markers that will hopefully expand to be cross-herd and can be used in the W.A.R. effort. In that thread, he thinks about watching the Heart go dark, so he can contribute this information at a later time because the timeline is later.
Nyx's dreams of being a Spear have been thwarted as she's been wraith-ified. But if you guys want I can throw her at the caves and she can be a test subject for you? :D
Other characters have permission to use magic/violence against Nyx at any time.
All right; is there a specific thread I can throw Deimos into to get informed of WAR, and then start..doing things? Or anyone willing to inform him? :333 Sorry - so behind. .__.
Aaron can be tagged in any thread for help with curing the infected

azulee would most definitely want to join their cause; she would probably want to be a spear. i can make an open thread sometime that someone can hop into to recruit her? :D
