"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.

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!

"d'Artagnan the Nightshade, their head healer" a grim voice cut in before the twins had a chance to reply. On quiet hooves the shape of a gold-backed stallion appeared from the gleaming mists, a gray shadow balancing a small dragon with bulging stomach on the back with practiced ease. "According to Aaron who saw the murder take place through the eyes of his bonded. I see no reason to doubt the truth of the matter." The silvery neck arched gracefully in a respectful greeting to Madyrn and Maskan as he came to join them, halting next to the golden pegasus as a faint smile cracked the mask of grim seriousness for a moment.
"Welcome back, Sage. It's good to see you again." A soft chirrup mixed with his calm voice as Fajira raised her head from its place on the gilded croup to greet the former - and maybe future - WingLead. The attention offered to the golden dove was short however and the dragon soon turned away again, returning back to her after-meal nap. Lace leaned a shoulder against a nearby tree and shifted the weight between large hooves to make himself comfortable, allowing gilded eyes to move between the warriors, half relieved and half envious that he no longer was counted as one of them.
"You might find it interesting to know that the crafters have begun projecting on a wall to increase the defenses of the Edge" he continued, helping to fill the homecoming general in on the recent developments of the herd. "With magic gone there's not much we can do at the moment, but as soon as the gods return I'm sure the work will be underway." Whether he was going to be a part of the construction was uncertain however. While Lace didn't particularly mind his work, the constant use of magic it forced upon him was growing increasingly uncomfortable. Never a great fan of the arcane powers, he found himself much preferring the state the world was in now; dependent on wit and physical strength, with few if any surprises to find that wasn't easy to solve. No, better leave it to those who actually liked magic; he could be of use elsewhere, in ways that didn't force him to spend quite as much time in the herdland.
"You've certainly come back at a good time" The grullo stallion sighed after a short pause, and lowered the head to scratch the side of the face against a dark leg. "What are you planning to do now? Mirage has made clear that we aren't allowed to stir up any trouble with the Basiners..." An order Lace would have been tempted to ignore if it had come from anyone else. But between budding emotions and the very real fact of the queen possessing the shape of a dragon, he wasn't about to go breaking her rules without a very good reason - or maybe a death wish.
