Mustangian Worldbuilding · 3:49am Feb 15th, 2017
So, does anyone have any worldbuilding ideas for Mustangia? Here's mine (which is going to be used in Seasons of the Heart). Mustangia has no cities, only tent villages. It is a highly mountainous land filled with wide meadows and covered in flowers and and forests. It is home to two races, Deer who live in the forests and Mustang Ponies who live in the valleys. Mustangs began as a religious movement among Earth Ponies who believed civilization was unnatural and Ponies should live as their primitive ancestors did. This was around six-hundred years ago. They live in herds made up of one stallion and many mares and foals. They have no agriculture only grazing. Mustangs were persecuted in Equestria and driven out, despite Celestia's attempts to grant them protection. They migrated to the Great Valley, which was under Deer rule, and obtained permission from the Deer King to settle there. They fought off invasions from the Minotaur Union who soon discovered that Mustangs will ferociously defend their homeland. They are a protectorate of Equestria, having no government of their own. Equestria later aided Mustangia against the Roan Empire. Mustangs are fiercely proud of their heritage, simple in their tastes and often uncomfortable in "big, confining rooms" as they have no buildings.
Equestrian Ponies often see them as oddball eccentrics, but many admire the purity of their way of life and have joined them. They are deeply in touch with their natural instincts and often stampede in massive herds of hundreds or thousands of Mustangs during their yearly migrations throughout their land.
Not really. Mustangia is one of the fifteen provinces and states of the Concord Union of Equestria. It's one of the three western plain provinces, with Haven to the north, Everfree to the south, the Western Bounds Territory to the west (on the other side of the Drakenridge Mountains) and the Free State of Cannover to the east (up on the Asturcón Plateau).
It is the bread basket of Equestria, with some of the most fertile land on Atlas along the Vanner River.
