Wingbardy, Francistria, Sicameon... the nations of Southern Griffonia all sought to remove the last trace of the Lunar Empire's influence from their continent, the colony of New Mareland, by waging a united surprise war against it while Her Imperial Majesty, Nightmare Moon, was busy fighting the Changeling Lands under Queen Chrysalis.

They failed.

Now, with all the griffons brought low and subjugated under the reign of the Nightmare, those who rule New Mareland in her stead, the Shadowbolt Society, hold all the cards. It is they who will decide the future of the nation, and they who will shape the history of the region for decades to come...

Written for the 1st Equestria at War #fanfiction-zone contest. Note that this story takes place in the Equestria at War universe.

The pony known as Jungle Trek hasn't had the luckiest life so far. Being born in the Tenochtitlan Basin far from the oversight of Canterlot, his "adventures" have consisted of bouncing from one occupation to another, holding himself together while other foals did things like "make friends" or "get an education". Well, Jungle needs none of those things, when he has bits instead!

...Okay, maybe working for Doctor Caballeron isn't exactly a dream job. It does pay well and the archeological stunts are always exciting, but Jungle needs a break from all that. That's why he has his eyes on a new house all for himself, located in a nice, small village called Ponyville. With a full bag of bits in tow, he's ready to start a new life, one far more peaceful than constant trap-dodging and fighting Daring Do.

After all, Ponyville can't have anything special or strange about it to pull him into more adventures, right?

...Right?

Grover V of the Griffonian Empire. Regarded by many as a frail and sickly monarch, he is the perfect showcase of the Empire as a whole. Weak, dying, and a shadow of what he once was. Only truly serving as a unifying force for griffons in the Herzland, even that may soon be gone as what remained of his health is rapidly declining, following his train trip across the land.

And so, on his deathbed, he is forced to come to terms with his short life as he meets those he trusted the most one final time.

For even an Emperor has his last day.

The Changeling Hives. Ever since their first unification over 20 years ago, they have been a nation of mystery and danger to the ponies of Equestria. Led by the One Queen Chrysalis, she has made the hatred towards the pony nation a cornerstone of the new changeling society, and now moves towards a new plan, a Great War that will engulf the continent. She will have her honor restored, or her and all changelings will die trying.

But what of the lower queens of other hives? While not in the limelight, they still have to lead their subjects and deal with the day-to-day governing of massive cities. And while Chrysalis may lead them all to victory, these minor royals still have their stories to tell.

Jachs, a Generalmajor in the changeling army, and more recently Governor of Canterlot, thought everything was going well. Chrysalis had just crowned herself Empress of Equestria, and him along with his friends, Alcippe, Marsillio and Finicus had finally discovered their destinies in life. After a lifetime of war and conflict, he was finally finding a moment of peace.
Then the city and Protectorate of Manehattan fell to the Equestrian Liberation Front, and the ponies rose back up to defeat the changeling oppressors and restore Equestria.
Now, as the partisan forces move towards Canterlot itself, Jachs has come to a conclusion. The Changeling Hegemony is finished. The Heer stands no chance against the ponies fighting to reclaim their homeland.
So instead, he meets with his friends to pay a mare in the caves a visit.
