Well this sucks. Hopefully the other ending version is more wholesome-like after this one is finished. And I know theres the potential ”hope-spot” with Steelhorns children, but who knows what two of the princesses might potentially do about it.
And may some serious KARMA be upon the wicked invaders of Hornburg, Shinings troops and (seemingly OP/”superior” looking/acting/feeling) zebras. And most likely to several other ponies too.
That just came up, no offence meant to the author and all that.

No offense taken.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this was the more wholesome ending.
Karma does come to the Stormshrouds, Gemhides and Northwinds. They all suffered massive blows from this. This won't come up in the story at all, but the real winners are the Ironbeats, the house that Ironblood originally came from. Stormshroud is obliterated, Northwind is hunted down until they're either dead or driven out, Gemhide has so few soldiers remaining that it just topples over and is absorbed into Ironbeat... As for Shining Armor, his karma has already been seen. He's opted to help Cadance service the zebra soldiers. As for the zebras being overpowered, they were meant to match up against the minotaurs. Like if ponies used guerilla tactics. the only reason they won at the end was because by th e time they arrived, the place was already destroyed. You see them fire two shots. Those are the only shots they had to fire. The war was won by the time they arrived.
Finally, you mentioned Steelhorn's children. One is an Ironbeat minotaur, and will take over as chief when her maternal grandfather is named king in the moot. Her mother is dead for an unrelated reason. As for the three the princesses carry, I've already written out what happens to them, and you can read it tomorrow. This ending has two epilogues to wrap things up.

Ok.
Ok amounts of karma, though Shining might need some more, along with some other ponies I think.
And the zebra OP’nes thing was more as a whole here during the conflict (way to break defence improving things and ruining plenty of mino-lifes RD), including the previous story. Just feels like they tend to get too much ”karma houdini” treatment (IMO), with the whole slavery and kidnapping they seem to get away with (in some other stories too occasionally). Including murdering (deciding to call it that) survivors with no defence at the end. What was even there to gain from it?
And just ended up letting things out here again. But it happens.
But now just waiting the next chapt. Ty for the Well explaining reply.
Worn out places (sorry I had to)
And once again, you manage to make me feel kinda sorry for the minotaurs, despite everything they did.

That really was my goal the entire time. It is, after all, a tragedy. They set out to save the Hornburg, or die trying. They did one of those things.
But seriously, it's been my goal this entire story to make you sad to see them go, despite their horrible actions. I'm glad I was able to tug at your heartstrings a bit.
And yeah, when writing and editing that line, Gary Jules was playing in my head. I've done that before, actually. Chapter eighteen of Trial and Error: Second Edition.

Honestly, this whole time I was more expecting the tragedy to be that the minotaurs do win, but at a heavy toll towards Equestria.
The fact that this ending is pretty much the exact opposite is kinda comforting, though, being honest
I think we are seeing the end of one war. But the beginning of a much worse conflict in Equestria as from how things were with the princesses Equestria is going to go through a long series of civil wars. Luna and Celestia are going to be at each other's throats. Twilight is likely going to have to side with Luna possibly depending on Celestia and whether she goes full Mino genocide or not. Cadence is likely going to be a neutral party likely only getting involved if one of side attacks her which is unlikely as she will keep the alliance with the Zebras to defend her nation. I say nation as this will end in a shattered Equestria with many new nations at the end.

You seem to be forgetting the easy answer of moon banishment.
Even so, not the direction this is going.
