A few days after the events of 'Crusaders Of The Lost Mark', an apoplectic Spoiled Rich goes to Twilight to shout at her. A lot. This should be interesting... let's eavesdrop, shall we?

Featured from 21/7/23 to 25/7/23. FACTS.

Beyond Equestria, the lands to the north are hostile and unforgiving. Ponies eke out a subsistence in uncontrollable weather, separated by mile after frigid mile of snow and mountains. A land where only the hardiest survive is no place for civilization.

Yet civilization encroaches from time to time. When a colossal bounty is placed on the head of a unicorn deep in the arts of necromancy, a motley crew of bounty hunters assembles and gives chase. It’s too good a chance to pass up. They’ll bring her to justice, no matter what stands in their way. Not her dark magic. Not the inhospitable environment.

And certainly not each other.

Equestria, having established friendships through Twilight with other nations around the world now has extensive trade networks. These budding, undefended trade routes quickly became favorite targets of pirates, looters, and state enemies looking for easy gains. When the Royal Guard went looking for a solution they found it in the far north. The robust Earth-pony tribe roaming the northernmost woods below the tundra did not disappoint, and the mares were augmented into a weapons platform- the NightMare. This story focuses on a very dedicated former NightMare I&T engineer and his favorite NightMare.

Time is a fickle thing isn’t it? One simple change and the universe could go into disarray. Yes, not all changes are bad, but most universes depend on six special ponies. Without them, that worlds Equestria could go into chaos, but not every. But lets think for a moment, one simple, tiny change can create a world so different, but all so similar.

Who ever knew that one rainboom would’ve connected twelve different ponies from different parts of Equestria? When Twilight Sparkle and Sunny Starscout go to Maretime Bay to check on preparations, a series of unfortunate events leads them to become Equestria’s new guardians.
