Once, in a time long past, there was a land. In this land were many countries, filled with proud and intelligent creatures who lived in harmony with those around them.

The Lands of the Ponies, Dragons, Griffins, Zebras and Humans stood out among the rest of the nations as the greatest in this land. For millennia, all was peaceful, with only light skirmishes breaking out every few decades.

It was not to last however.

Greed, bloodlust, and power obsession eventually drove both the Humans and the Dragons to spark a conflict that would change the fate of their world forever. The conflict was recorded by every major species and put away so that, if they were to survive this war, their descendants would learn from their mistakes.

This vault, The Vault of War, serves as the archive for the stories and records that were penned during this great tragedy. The war has many names and no one name would best fit it, so it is referred to differently depending on the tale that is read.

Unfortunately, many of the records have been stolen, destroyed, or simply faded over the course of time, thus leaving the vault empty. What the keepers of the vault ask is that any who might be in possession of a one or more of these stories and records, to return them so that they might be kept for future generations. Also, if you posses any stories that have been passed down to you from many generations, we ask that you also submit them to the vault.

To Those Who Wish To Add to The Vault or Are Pondering Doing So,

Some of you might be asking, "Why should I care what goes into ANOTHER FiMfiction group?" Well, I'm glad you asked that. I created this group for those who enjoy reading and/or writing war and/or warfare related fics. This is also somewhat of an experiment, to see if a group can be created around a story that hasn't actually been written. So if you're still interested after this very brief explanation, thank you and keep reading below.

A general overview of the "story" has been given to you and, if you are to add stories to the group, this is the general backstory you must adhere to. The entirety of the rules are posted here:

If you're still reading, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for wanting to be a part of this group.

Sincerely,

Keepers of the Vault
