One grounding law of the universe is that light can not exist without darkness to be cast aside. Chaos can not exist without order to be revoked. Evil can not take root without purity to be corrupted. The world is constantly in a state of balance, but what happens when the scales are tipped too far in one direction? In a universe where order and chaos; light and dark; good and evil are beings incarnate, this is not a question which is easily answered.

For 1,000 years there has been complete order, but that is all about to change. The years of utopian harmony and order have weakened the spirit of pony-kind. Without true evil to be revoked and dispelled, innocence and purity have given way to naivety where corruption long since forgotten has taken root like never before; invisible and cancerous. Beneath the present facade, political groups are vying for control, villains plot schemes of anarchy, a group of power-hungry scientists commit moral atrocities in preparation for the coming horrors, and somewhere in Ponyiville a deranged sadist has finally pulled the last straw. In an instant everything shatters, leaving behind only the fragments of a once beautiful world.
