A long, long time ago, the necromancer Grogar conquered the city of Tambelon for his own nefarious purposes. Working together, the princesses Celestia and Luna were able to banish Grogar and the fallen city into the realm of Shadow, never to be seen again...or so they thought.
Two thousand years later, Tambelon and Grogar return - and the world may never be the same...

GROGAR! He COMES!
Daaayum! Awesome start to an amazing sounding story!
Wow wow very nice start to this. A bit disappointed that you didn't finish Crisis first though as I think Twilight would be an interesting character to have along for this party as part of her community service. Still this looks like it'll be an awesome read can't wait to read more. Thanks very much for sharing.
That was fantastic; I loved the changes you've brought about in Corona, she's still clearly similar to her "zedd" incarnation, but we can see/feel how she's managed to clam down and regain control, which makes her significantly more interesting and practical, I liked her treatment of Zecora and her other minions here and her thoughts regarding the prophecy, it does actually seem a reasonable conclusion to make.
I wonder who/what Grogar did make a pact with? Some fool outside seeking power and helping summon him back into the world... Bray? The build up and background for Grogar was epic and terrifying as well, can't wait to see him in the flesh. Interesting idea with Luna wanting to punish him by sending him to the shadows, it works well. (Though hardcore sounds a bit odd form the Salamanders) Interesting with Corona viewing Cadence as a false Alicorn, why is that? She has lived for 1000 years.
Good idea with Tambelon having a large number of Donkey's as well, the scenery descriptions for this chapter were fantastic! I really liked the ending as well, reaffirming that Celestia has no intention of killing her little sister, I knew she wouldn't but it's nice to see it demonstrated and her desire to protect her subjects and those under her aegis.
Will it be a three-way battle, with Corona make a temporary alliance with Luna, I don't know! Overall this was an awesome chapter, I can't wait for more.
2899266
Remember that when Corona last met Cadance, Cadance thought that *she* was Celestia.
2899118
That s awesome, I just wish I could tell what all of it says, rather than bits and pieces.
2899290
ah good point there; though why would that lead to Celestia/Corona determining Cadence is a false Alicorn, as opposed to just an impostor? Sorry if I misunderstood or if that's a stupid question.
Only now do I realize that I have to get started on my S2 fics! No pressure
2899307
"Imposter alicorn" as in Corona mostly just remembers her as the upstart alicorn that claimed she was Celestia, not as in she doubts whether or not Cadance is an alicorn (alicorns can identify each other on sight, unless they're actively taking steps to hide their nature).
As for the ZALGO moment up there...I think what it says is something like...
To invoke the demilich representing tyranny
Invoking the feeling of tyranny
Without mercy
The Caprine demilich of tyranny Grogar
He who Wthers the Soul-Drain Bell
GROGAR
2899236 Twilight wouldn't be part of this even if he had finish Crisis because it's not canon to the Lunaverse
2899336
ah I see, thank you for clarifying, sorry, I thought that might be the case, but I wasn't really that sure.
... wow, that translation/line is awesome. TY!
Thanks for the response.
Oh joy, vague prophecies... You're luck I'm a Percy Jackson fan or I'd want to strangle you.
2899356
No, Crisis is canon to the Lunaverse.
Celestia hasn't been hiding, just biding and planning. And the first thing she says? "I have hidden long enough! " Classic. Also, I see that Dinky story was a sneak peek. You sly dog.
Ah, the Shadow Realm. Plane of darkness and ironic hells. Also, it may be Ancient Egypt.
Solrathicharnon, Solrath for short. I like to call him Starscream. ...and now he sounds like Steve Blum to me.
Time to wait for hell to break loose.
/popcorn
GREAT!
Also, the Shadow Realm? Does that mean that the Illusion spell "Shadow Walk" exists? What about "Shadow Conjuration" or "Shadow Evocation"? And will Trixie be learning any of these this season?
2899336
Close enough. "He who wethers the soul-drain bell."
Technically it's a pun We'd use but HE wouldn't.
A "Bellwether" is the lead sheep in a flock. Back in the day, it would be a Wether (the sheep equivalent to "gelding") who wore a bell... The Wikipedia link goes further.
As usual, I dig it.
I am especially digging the prose.
IT BEGINS!
...
Wait, crap, it begins...
Season 2...should probably get more than two chapters into mine soon...
Ok, Grogar seems to be this universes' equivalent of Nekron and Black Hand. This makes me worry (with good reason I might add) that Tirek is the Darkseid equivalent and the rainbow of darkness is his version of the Anti-Life equation (and somehow that makes him worse than DarkSeid for some reason). Don't ask how I came to those conclusions, I have weird Head-Cannon about strange things
2899481 Pass the popcorn, please.
Great start! I'm looking forward for more.
I am so pumped that Return to Tambelon has started
Great chapter RDD
I'm calling it now, Celestia is the one who releases him because prophesy irony.
This has something to do with goats having personhood, but incapable of speech.
2899118
That is awesome, how did you do it?
I really enjoyed this. It was a good opening chapter. Not only did it set the stage for what we could expect but it also showed us what Corona was up to which was really good.
I also thought that having Corona give Grogars back story was a very nice touch. Not only does it give the reader much needed back story but it also gives us a bit more time to delve in to Corona's state of affairs as well as the state of her mind. And by the looks of it things are going to get a lot worse before they get better
Though is it wrong to say that I'm looking forward to it?
2899981 Which is?
Well, she might yet be cured of her insanity and might, as the centuries progress, be welcomed into Equestria Proper (I suspect that she'll be a houseguest of a certain imposter for a decade or five) but it's going to be a rocky road for her. As for the Sun's Glory being dimmed bit, I think that we're looking at it right now....she don't get her glory back until she's sane again.
What story is Solrath introduced in? I must have missed it.
This is very interesting. Although I would have preferred to see the thrilling conclusion of Crisis first. And I really would like to see post-Crisis Twilight and what she'd be up to, seeing as how she's essentially had her world view turned inside out.
Don't take this as unpleasable criticism. This story is bound to be good, just like all your other stories, and having it carefully planned out beforehand is a very good idea. I don't know Grogar from Adam, but I assume I'll find out the part he plays in this universe.

"Through the Fire and Flames," by DagaYemar. It just recently finished.
AWWWYEAAAH.jpg
need... to finish... reading... season 1...
There's a slight mistake in the brief description of the story. It said that after 500 years Tambelon returned, when it should be 2,000 years.
Huzzah, more Celestia!
This should be interestin'.
Oh, this is going to be epic. Though I detect a hint of self-fulfillment in this prophecy. Between her paranoia and megalomania, Celestia may try to preempt her sister in releasing the Demon Ram.
And do I really need to explain why killing the necromancer is never a good idea?
Unless, of course, she herself told them before they went back in time, but really, what are the odds of that?
2900095
Ye who seek forbidden speech
And forces from beyond beseech,
Go hither to unlock their might
And sacrifice thy soul to blight.
Awesome, now going into season two. I have not read this yet but I plan on doing so very soon. Just want to say that I am very excited for what is to come.
Obligatory praise post.
Because words cannot suffice for my excitement for season 2.
2900839
That is not a mistake.
2901003
Oh snap.
2901003
Oh Crap.
So when is Meagan gonna show up and ring the bell?
2900875
Thanks
It's here it's here it's here!!!! So excited!!! Loved the first chapter and the ton and mood it sets. Very heavy Corona focused chapter, wasn't expecting that, but it worked very well. Can't wait to see what Tambelon will be like and what Luna really has planned
I dunno what else to say...
2899974 Seconded! I bet she wants to kill him first but it fails and the bargain the prophecy speaks of is when she and Luna work together to banish him!
2902877 Yeah, that was my exact prediction, but I put it more vaguely to hedge my bets a little. But yes, I expect Corona to "release him early" so that she can kill him "before he can bargain with Luna".
2901003 What are they talking about, it says two thousand...oh wait the short description. *clicky clicky* Oh. Oooh. Oooohhhhhhhhh. Ohhhhhhhh. This is gonna hurt, isn't it?

I got "Grogar wakes and" and then gave up.
2903994 You were almost there! Shame you gave up so soon, really. I thought it would be kind of cool to do something like that, seeing as it is new to me.
Thats supposedly how Ys fell to.
