Some powerful spell cast by pony or ponies unknown has placed Equestria on the world of Caen, in the midst of conflict between the Iron Kingdoms.

So, I was wondering, as I'm sure many were, why Luna didn't ever turn up during the battle against the changelings. This idea effervesced into my twisted mind to explain her absence.
