War. War never changes.

After the megaspells decimated most of Equestria, several of us hid in stables. Others escaped the attacks and made a go of survival in the wasteland. Of these, several ponies tried to re-establish communities and legions to achieve their goals. Many of these groups: The Chrysalis Legion, The New Crystal Empire, The Galloping Gala Attending, and many more were brought to the surface to try and take control of what the world had become.

Hello there, little pony. My name is Sherclop Pones, and yes, it is just like the stallion in the storybooks all fillies and colts are told about. My parents have an odd sense of humor about them. I am recording this audio file upon my pipbuck moments before my death in the hope that anypony that finds this shall have a chance to deliver it to my friend, John Trotson.

It now occurs to me that, between the cruelty of the wasteland, and my own addled brain in this moment and just plain bad luck; that my direction might be horribly off. If that is the case, you will have no idea who anypony I mentioned actually is. So, I shall take a moment to recount my story to you, as best I am able.

Let’s start at the beginning, a very good place to start.
