"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.

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!

Ktulu</style> when the sky turns gray and everything is screaming i will reach inside just to find my heart is beating</style>
Ktulu watched as they all arrived one by one, some offering additional information and others declaring their desire to advance in the ranks of the Grey. It did not show on her face but there was pride in the ones who took it upon themselves to do better. The dark Chieftess listened in silence as her other half arrived and spoke his peace. She turned her head toward him and dipped it in a show of respect. If she respected him why should the rest of the herd family not?
"Phaedra is an expert in what she does." Ktulu said to Apollo. "As the head of her rank would you agree that she should serve as your second in command as Archibald serves as mine?" She paused momentarily before continuing on. "I would suggest allowing her to train those who wish to be spies and only the best be chosen to work closely beside her and given the magic that comes with such a rank." She did not want to make Apollo feel a fool, but she did feel it right to voice her opinion. After all, she allowed Archibald to train warriors and executioners. She trusted his decisions and she trusted Phaedra's and felt Apollo should as well.
Her attention was drawn away from Apollo by an outburst from the gathered crowd. Her eyes flashed and her ears slanted back against her dark head as she watched the filly that she knew to be Phaedra's daughter. "This is not the time nor the place for you to air your dirty laundry Hotaru." The Chieftess said with impatience. "If you're going to leave then do so quietly, we've no desire to hear your rants about what you feel is right and wrong and how you've been wronged personally. You're little over a year old and have no idea how this world works, but when you figure it out I've no doubt you'll find your outburst disrespectful to your mother and your former family." Her lips pressed into a thin line as she glared down at the young outcast. "Now get out of our home. Both of you." Had the filly taken her leave as honorably as Ophelia had she would have been given a gracious goodbye, but she did not deserve one.
More arrived and another announced his departure. In all honestly Ktulu barely knew Evers, but she knew he was Archibald's brother and it concerned her and made her wonder if he would be able to keep his duties up with his brother's departure. She glanced at Archibald then looked back at Evers and nodded her head. "You are welcome to join us again when the time is right for you." She watched him take his leave then cleared her throat.
"I expect all warriors and executioners to increase their patrols of our borders. Remember patrols are to be made in pairs. I would also like for our spies to gather as much information as they can about the Asylum." She glanced to Apollo to gauge his reaction and see if he would agree. "And as you all know we have a contract with the Basin for warriors. Those of you that stay within our borders should be on high alert for any outcasts that expect to take us by surprise. If you find anyone show no mercy. I still expect those of you who can make it out of the Foothills to roam the Threshold and bring back those who desire to be part of our family. We cannot afford to let our numbers dwindle and we cannot be silent any longer."
ooc:// posting order is still a lie.
