The year is 1032 After Celestia; nearly 200 years since the exile of the Nordic ponies from Equestria to their homeland of the Nordic Isles, a set of islands off the north-western coast of Equestria. It was the Nordics that led a civil war that spanned for 30 years against Princess Celestia and her regime, leaving Equestria in ruins and millions to bleed. As punishment for their treason, the Edict of Harmony was signed. The Edict stated that the entire Nordic race was to be exiled and secluded to their fatherland for 500 years, also giving permission for the Equestrian Navy to blockade these islands to limit trade and to cage all the Nordic ponies from leaving.
The Jarl (Governor in Nordic) and the ruler of Caroland, one of the two nations that reign on the Nordic Isles, has fallen into fatal sickness. His eldest son, Heinrich Montelius, is expected to claim the throne, and with that his radical ideals. He speaks out against the Edict of Harmony and Princess Celestia, and will do whatever deems necessary to see the Edict repealed and Celestia overthrown. As a result, he has gained popularity among both the nation's military and the poor, who of which make up the majority of the Carolean population. Some of Heinrich's followers even call him their King; a title that has been considered blasphemy since the assassination of their last King over a thousand years ago.
Prince Dietrich Montelius, a renown Nordic historian and the younger brother to Heinrich, grows weary of his brother's intentions and his unnerving hatred of Equestria and all non-Nordic creatures. In Dietrich's fears of the repetition of history, he will have no choice but to embark on an illegal voyage to Equestria in hopes that Princess Celestia will listen to his plea of warning of an uncertain future...

Three dislikes, already? Wow, that's unfortunate! Well, this chapter was more a prologue and an introduction to a whole new group of characters and society. The story from here on out has no more narration and far less confusing. Criticism is more than welcome, everyone.

You never wanna go for the whole 'it'll get better later' thing because by the time 'later' rolls around, no one is gonna be reading! Just letting you know. Listen to criticism and edit what you have already.

Ah, yes. I see where you're coming from. I'll make the necessary changes soon enough.

Glad you enjoyed it! After I do a quick Inquisition on some grammar errors I noticed, Part II will be on the way.

I'm sorry, what?
1842746
I just don't know. I have no explanation.
1842782
Hell, why not? Right?

Something like that. It seemed the thing to do at the time.

**UPDATE** So due to an overwhelming couple of weeks from school work I had to postpone Pt II towards the end of the month, or the beginning of February. Although I did update the summaries and characters. Twilight and Rainbow Dash will be have very important roles in the story, but I plan to have key moments for all of the Main Six, and I plan to give the Cutie Mark Crusaders a role in this as well.
So as usual: rate, comment, hunt down grammar errors and bash me for them, or whatever! See ya on the the other side!
