Story Arc for Thestrals in The Sirens Remorse · 7:11am Mar 14th, 2017
So through book 1, we've seen the thestrals in action and their sacrifice to stay autonomous but little is seen of their fight against the Agents of Shadow. Now from what I've read and seen of other books like Warhamer 40k to name one, you cannot really add too many characters to a story in a way that will not confuse readers or adds too much of a tangent to give purpose. So, as with Land of the Rising Sun story which has Twilight Sparkle going to foreign lands that will have a show up in book 2, should it be appropriate to have a thestral view of Equestria as the ones who handle the dirty work and give light to the horrors they face and constantly keep watch on to prevent catastrophe?
In all, the thestrals are a reclusive guard population, it was noted that they live in the mountain of Canterlot Palace. Asking to be kept secret to Twilight who wants to share their presence with the world, they operate in a closed off society so their enemies which are numerous do not exploit anything. Their main foe, the Agents of Shadow who are worshipers of the demons and dark fell powers constantly try to amass weapons and attack Equestria, only to always be thwarted before they could do anything. Who are these rag tag bunch that terrorize the pony kingdom? What is it like for the Night Guard to live and protect ponies and the crown at all hours of the day?
I'd like to make such a story, but what do you who watch me think?
Bit late... very late... but I'd read that.
