A Word from Their Majesties


Hello reader.

When Twilight Sparkle wrote to me about how no pony in her current home of Ponyville knew who Star-Swirl the Bearded was, which my sister Luna confirmed, I was shocked. Star-Swirl was without a doubt the wisest and most powerful unicorn mage of his time, and certainly on par with very few in all of history. Furthermore, for the brief time I knew him, he was one of the friendliest ponies I have ever met, and so the thought of him becoming forgotten disturbed me. In the further outlying provinces and on the frontier sure, after all, education is secondary when survival is on the line, but not so close to the capitol. If anypony deserves even the slightest eternal recognition, it is him.

Twilight recommended that she set up and teach a community college class on Equestrian history. It was a thoughtful gesture. However, I thought that something longer lasting, and more readily accessable, than a three-hour a week course would be more appropriate given the subject matter, and given the long history that Equestria’s story possesses, something which also had a little brevity would work as well. Therefore, I suggested that Twilight, along with scholars from the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Ministry of Education, write a book detailing the subject.

And so my little pony, I trust that you treat the knowledge that has been entrusted to you with care, because Knowledge, much like Friendship, holds so much magic.

-With love, Lady Princess Celestia, Ruler of the Equestrian Day

Hafinge bin gon theese past 1000 years, I hast much to groweth use too. The times changeth much en mein absense frome the worlde. I stil rememmbre quen Ecuestria was bute a skatred collekshon of smal statelets, waytinge too ter eashothre aparte ef nought fore my sistre and I holdinge there leadres lishes taught.

Und now Ecuestria es a vast land. Singuler in ets identitie, and the plase of one’s birthe es no matter. Exceptinge fore the few oferlie proud und boastfule.

The storey of Ecuestria es a most exsitinge taile my leettl ponies, and should bee cherished leik a rare yem.
