"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.

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!

Do you wanna see how much I can take? Can't you just leave bad enough alone?
</style>
Another day and night has passed, and now I wait with the vial a heavy weight around my neck. Arbutus and I have said our brief goodbyes, but we both seem uneasy at the prospect of losing each other's company, no matter for however brief our separation will be. I look to Aure with a certain sadness in my eyes that I cannot shake, and my leonine tail curls nervously behind me. My wings remain folded, and Arbutus' flame is diminished as he flies over to the silver dapple that I've grown to call my lover. He lands gently upon her withers, giving me one last look before turning away and curling up in the crook of her wings. I shudder at the thought of being alone for what now seems like so long- at the thought of living in a strange land amongst unknown mares and stallion until our beloved child is born.
Our son. The thought thrills me, and were it not for the sorrow of leaving, would bring a smile to my face. Still, the happiness is tinged with sadness as instructed by the God of the Earth. I wonder why he assigned a quest that required such separation- perhaps to ensure the loyalty of our love? I cannot imagine ever turning from Aure, ever leaving her or not loving her. Still, if the Gods require further proof, I shan't deny them.
I take a few careful steps towards my mate and speak in a hushed voice, sadness mixed with excite hinted in my tone. "It is time, my love," I murmur, lowering my head so that the chain falls off of my neck and onto the ground. I let my body rest upon the earth and wait for her to rest beside me, curling my lips around the precious vial to drink.
The fluid slides down my throat smoothly, a liquid silver that is cooling and comforting. My eyes shutter as I imbibe the gift of the gods, and my body quivers with the feeling, one I've never before experienced. Bent knees force themselves into the ground and I brace myself; my tail snakes wildly across the ground behind me. I feel the magic spread within me, and then there is a sudden desired stillness.

I watched my lover drink the vial that would allow her to carry my child, and bittersweet happiness welled up in my chest. Tares would be away for so very long…At the least it would seem that way. I loved her so much, and I knew she loved me as she was sacrificing Arbutus so he could take care of me. I could see the pain in her eyes as she prepared to leave her two closest friends: her mate and her companion. Underneath the pain we faced, there was happiness. The happiness of the beginning of a family, the most wonderful family. I knew how much she was sacrificing, and knew that I could not let her leave Arbutus behind. She needed a familiar face with her as she resided the pregnancy in the Foothills. I went to my sweet mare and extended my wings over her withers in the way she loved so much. I stared into her beautiful yellow eyes with the green of my own.
“Tares, I cannot let you leave Arbutus with me. You are the one who will be in a new territory, experiencing things you’ve never experienced before. To do that alone would be terrifying, and I would feel much better if Arbutus kept you company, as he always does. You may send him to me with messages, and when our son is to be born.” I nuzzled her mane, black and unruly as always. We were to have a son, and nothing, not even the loneliness we would both endure could lower my spirits in this moment. Yes, I was scared of my sweet, sensitive lover going through pregnancy, but everything would be worth it when he was born.
I flicked my tail happily and trotted around the clearing, unable to control my happiness at the prospect of being a mother. I would be the best possible, never once having another thought for myself, and glad to do so. I reared back into the air, letting out a triumphant whinny, and looked back at my mate with love shining in my green eyes. Nothing would fade our love, not the absence from each other’s lives, not the stress of raising a child. Nothing at all, because our love was endless.
