NegotationsVerse Timeline of Major Events · 1:09pm Feb 10th, 2021
Hi guys, so zelkova48 asked me for a timeline of all the major events of NegotationsVerse to help their story Choices which I recommend reading, and so I spent the night doing so. However, I figured that a lot of people would benefit from this so they can make their own stories using the NegotationsVerse so I've decided to publish it here. I only do the Pre-War and Actual War years, I haven't done the Post-War years and I'll get around to those sometime later in the week or so. One thing from the original canon timeline I never considered was an Equestrian Secret Police that Zlkova48 came up with in their fic. I found myself liking it a lot so I decided to make that part of the canon timeline as well.
Please be reminded that just because I've created a canon timeline doesn't mean you cannot do your own timeline in the NegotationsVerse if you wish to make your own story in this universe. Feel free to change or add whatever you want to this. This also might help people want to focus on certain events as single stories or even the war from the perspective of certain characters only in their stories.
As always, I have plenty of ideas on what kind of stories can be done or told in the NegotationsVerse or if you want feedback for your own idea I'd be happy to give my thoughts on it.
Anyway here is the timeline. I only go by year, not by month and day. I'm not that meticulous. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF I SCREWED SOMETHING UP I WILL FIX IT
Year 2036 (10 Years Before Conversion War)
-Equestria arrives from home dimension to Earth. Sonar, Satellites, and networks the world over react to a new massive land mass in the Indian Ocean between Africa and Australia that is surrounded by a pink energy force field. Nations are put on high alert as scout planes from Australia, India, US, China, and Iran are sent from ships to investigate the land. Video and audio recordings show the pilots skin melting as if they were dipped in acid before combustion. All nations are put on high alert and military status is prepared for anything.
-One month later, a coalition of ships composed of N.A.T.O., Chinese, and Russia Navy create a barrier around the energy field but keep themselves far way to not be in danger. More pilots and even small ships are sent to try and break through the barrier, but all show negative results proving the barrier is toxic to human contact regardless of protective clothing or barriers.
-Seven days later a ship, not of any known design to human nations, approaches the U.S.S. Obama with a white flag. First contact is made with Equestrian’s lead by Princess Twilight Sparkle along with her brother Prince Shining Armor and several other figures such as Prince Blueblood, Major Valkyrie, Wonderbolts Captain Spitfire and her team, and Element of Laughter Pinkie Pie.
-News of alien contact is held, but rumors leak on the internet. The United Nations and several non-UN countries send ambassadors to greet the Four Princesses of Equestria where they explain the situation of how they have arrived to help humanity from their world by showing them the magic of friendship and harmony. First recorded use of magic is done.
-Three months after first contact, the nations of the world confirm first contact with dimensional creatures as information is shown through all forms of media. World is astonished to learn the existence of multiple dimensions, magic, and fantasy creatures. Most of humanity reacts positively to the news, but some are reluctant to trust or fear danger from these creatures.
-Princess Celestia makes a public speech at the UN HQ, announcing that her nation has come to help humanity through their dark times of war, strife, poverty, pollution, and greed by showing the Magic of Friendship. A lexicon of the history and culture of Equestria is made public to all as nations, cultures, religions, and more. Humans react in various positive and negative ways.
-Due to the toxic nature of the barrier, explained to be a miscalculated side effect of the transition between dimensions, humans are unable to enter Equestria, thus any exchanges are done on human lands only. Various nations grant an embassy for the ponies of Equestria, but none are on Equestria due to this.
Year 2037 (9 Years Before Conversion War)
-Ponies of Equestria send resources to various nations as well as scientists and magical experts to help humanity’s ecosystem and energy crises. Various gems are found to be used to power machines faster then all forms of energy save for nuclear. Cities start adapting to crystal based power plants, but are done slowly to not ruin the economy of the nations who try to remain energy depend due to Equestria being the only one who can supply such crystals.
-Human technology is offered, but only under strict selections are allowed into Equestria. The Internet is established, but only the wealthy can afford tablets and the internet is strictly regulated similar to Communist China’s Internet.
-First appearance of Discord who appears on Late Night TV. Becomes a sensational hit among humans despite warnings from Ponies to be weary of him.

Year 2038 (8 Years Before Conversion War)
-Equestria school exchange programs are held for students to learn more about human history while Equestrian teachers are also sent to hold classes about Equestrian education and history. Both sides have mixed results with many pony students feeling unsettled by the dark and grim history of humanity yet some enjoy the active and interesting lifestyle of humans despite their flaws. Pony teachers find it very hard to teach humans who question everything about Equestrian lifestyle and history. Mostly about the worshiping of the Princesses who many doubt are real gods.
-Equestrian embassy bombed in London from radical extremists who believe the ponies are heretics and demons for practicing magic.
-Lyra Heartstrings begins her tour around humanity’s world and finds it fascinating.

Year 2040 (6 Years Before Conversion War)
-Lyra Heartstrings publishes a book called “My Journey On Mother Earth” which doesn’t become a nation wide hit, but attracts a following of those who seem to like humans. Others however feel that humans are not good creatures for the culture and nature, and thus Equestria becomes divided publicly.

-First recorded marriage of an Equestrian and Human is made. Results are mixed, but interestingly there are more positive responses from humanity than Equestria.

The UN and representatives from Equestria meet to discuss ways to save humanity.
-Princess Twilight and Princess Celestia reveal the Conversion Potion. Capable of transforming a human into a pony.

-Conversion Bureaus are set up all over the world in various places for free treatment. Hundreds of thousands of humans take part in it to become ponies and results are shown successful. Humans who turn are given the name “Newfoals”. Many are reported to have different personalities upon turning into ponies and react negatively to humans or human society. Most choose to live in Equestria, or lands Equestria has claimed under the barrier, where they are given jobs, homes, and government income.
-The barrier continues to expand into Africa, more of Australia, parts of Indonesia and other places as more are evacuated, but thousands who are unable to leave find themselves killed by the barrier. The land is soon given to the Newfoals and Equestria who start taking over. This causes public outrage, but the Equestrians assure it just until humanity reclaims their lands as ponies.

Year 2042 (4 Years Before Conversion War)
-Discoveries of the Conversion Potion’s means of erasing the human nature aspects of the human being and becoming a pony start to become more and more explored as many fear the potion renders one no longer to think or feel like a human. More anti-human pony sentiment begins to show in mainland Equestria, especially after a various Conversion Bureaus are destroyed with lives lost and another assassination attempt on Princess Celestia and Luna is done.
-Lyra Heartstrings begins to speak out against the Conversion Bureaus, feeling that a better solution should be made then to change humans from what they are with her believing they have no right to do this to a race that, while has problems, does have a lot of good traits. She starts to get some followers, but many believe she is crazy.
-Rarity marries Royal Guard Valiant Wave.

Year 2043 (3 Years Before Conversion War)

-Seeing humanity refuse to take the potion more and more causes Equestria to start feeling that humanity is making the wrong choices again as all four Princesses secretly confirm that humanity is beyond hope in saving and efforts to stop the barrier are put to a halt to focus on converting the humans.
-Human music, culture, and technology becomes outlawed in Equestria. Many praise this, but there is a vocal minority who are against this lead by Lyra Heartstrings.

Year 2044 (2 Years Before Conversion War)
-Fight between Princess Twilight and Flash Sentry results in them breaking up. Flashy Sentry leaves the Royal Guard.
-Secret Agencies around the world post their findings about how the potion brainwashes humans into acting like ponies more by eliminating human based emotions for more artificial ones. This is further proven when a scientist defector named Lemon Beaker public exposes this as well as states the Newfoals are programed to believe in only Equestrian ways of life while rejecting all human ones. Human world is outraged and demands answers while Equestria proclaims this to be lies.
-Conversion Bureaus are rapidly shut down and destroyed. Tensions between ponies and humans are reaching a deadly stance as embassies are closed one by one. Princess Celestia calls back all ponies to return to Equestrian lands. 90 percent of all ponies do so while bringing most of the Newfoals. 10 percent stay in human lands for various reasons.

-Princess Celestia sends a message to the human race stating that they have failed their planet and themselves throughout their history of war, bloodshed, corruption, and evil deeds from genocide to enslavement. She declares that their entire race cannot be saved as what they are and that since they refused to be given the light of friendship and harmony peacefully it is their duty to force it upon them by declaring war on their race stating they will convert or destroyed destroyed and that their children will thank them when humanity is gone and the Newfoals and Ponies of Equestria inherit the Earth to guide it to a more peaceful and prosperous state. All nations around the world declare war on Equestria. Ponies who remained in their lands are rounded up and interrogated, but few are held prisoner. Still this doesn’t stop anti-pony sentiment around the world.
-Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Princess Twilight hold a royal event in Canterlot to explain to their subjects that humanity has failed and needs to be forced into conversion to save them. That it is their duty as Equestrians, masters of friendship and harmony, to save this species from their own destruction even if it means war. Prince Shining Armor is named Commander-General of Equestrian Armed Forces and swears that humanity will fall in a year’s time.

His body is burned and ashes thrown into the Hudson River.
-In response to the death of her husband, Princess Cadence uses the Crystal Cannon to Wipe out the cities of Rome and Mecca, the holy cities of Christianity and Islam.

-Equestria goes into six months of preparing for an invasion as ponies are forced into conscription to defend their homeland. Despite propaganda, ponies start fearing they will lose the war and become slaughtered by the humans. Faith in the Church of Harmony, which sees the Alicorns as goddess, falls to the lowest in years with its supporters still believing they can win or the End Times are here. Princess Twilight and Princess Celestia try finding a way to escape this dimension but without Fluttershy and her Element it's hopeless.
-Princess Celestia finally allows the construction and use of human based weapons and technology, but most of it is outdated.

-In a matter of weeks, Canterlot becomes the last remaining stronghold.
-General Valkyrie and other members of the military decide to overthrow Princess Celestia, believing she has led Equestria to their doom, in an effort to save their nation and surrender to humanity.

-The Secret Police of Equestria activate Fallen Protocol which is the means to develop a resistance group should Equestria fall into enemy hands and restore it back to glory in the event of defeat. Agent Sweetie Drops volunteers to lead it and her death is faked as her civilian identity, Bon Bon, with a fake dead body. Agent Sweetie Drops and several other agents retreat to the Macintosh Mountains where a hidden base with the most advanced Equestrian technology and prototype magic is held for them along with other tools to prepare the Equestrian Freedom Fighters. All other agents commit suicide to ensure the secret protocol is never known.
-Princess Celestia orders a last stand in Canterlot as she shields it with her magic, ordering all but the foals to prepare to fight to the death.

-Mass suicides follow around Equestria while Sweetie Drops and her agents start recruiting ponies to their cause, but take no action yet due to needing to get volunteers.
-Applejack and Rainbow Dash argue with Twilight about her surrender before declaring their friendship over. Later on both are given the offer to join the Freedom Fighters and agree.
-Twilight prepares to negotiate with the UN for Equestria’s future.

Damn. That is extensive and I love it all!
Thanks for posting this! By the way, how long after the war does applejack and rainbows story in the resistance take place?
5451617
Around 7 to 8 years before they're killed
Very detailed. What happens post-war then?
5451625
Pretty much all the events after Negotations aka Reunited, Truth, Useless, Rest, and Future
5451627
Oh, right. You didn't do the war, but the aftermath, which still paints a pretty dark picture of what happened.
5451624
Next up is the post-war timeline : )
I like how halberd was never mentioned, shows how he was one deluded pony in a war far bigger than him.
Very well made timeline.
Too bad there is no option to upvote blog posts because this one definitely deserves it.
I've been meaning to ask, how did the barrier cover South America without also enveloping all of Eurasia?
5451758
it wasn't like a dome, it spread in various directions on its own in various speeds
5451759
Well aside from plot what factors decided the extent of its spread
5451761
It was kind of its own living thing and moved when it needed to. Nothing controlled it, it wasn't originally even planned to exist when Celestia thought of the idea of sending Equestria to Earth, but she took advantage of it
This was a very good read, you've convinced me to check out this universe.
5451762
Doylist reasoning: Preserve the major economic centers and liberal democracy?
Without the barrier what would she have done then? Pull a TNO Burgundy and try to instigate WW3 and ponify the survivors?
5451769
The original plan was to establish a isolated land away from humanity while offering the potion to those who wished to live in Equestria by allowing ponies only on their home nation. Celestia believed the humans would be at WW3 soon and would then establish neutrality and offer anyone fleeing the war to turn into ponies in exchange for safty. When most of humanity was wiped out or too damage to fight, her plan was then for Equestria to take over without anyone stopping them and continue turning humans into ponies or killing those who resisted
5451775
What would've been the most likely outcome in your opinion
5451777
Celestia would have failed and you would have a Three nation system for Earth. One composed of humans, one composed of ponies, and one with both
5451778
I'm assuming WW3 in this instance would not have involved nukes so there would've been enough stable nations and guns lying around to put up a fight?
Hey but Diamond Tiara and Berry Punch hadn't survived the war?
5451785
Some nukes, but not all.
5451793
So basically Equestria ends up running into Brazil, South Africa and Australia instead
5451799
You mean in canon or this senario?
5451814
In this scenario
5451834
I honestly don't know, I think that's up to who ever wants the senario to have what land is safe adn what isn't.
5451627
Well, we'd like more details on it, still.
5451944
I plan on making a post one later in the week
Huh..Buddhist Lyra never expected that.
Also suprised by a few of names in Lyra's resistance. Can't say I saw GladMane coming, i'm guessing there were ponies who stayed on earth but never joined the resistance. Cause that sounds what BraeBurne did.
Other question does Lyra know about Bon-Bon's agent Sweetie Drops identity?
5452179
She didn’t find out until after the freedom fighters were destroyed
My personal headcanon is that Discord sabotaged the Crystal Cannon by holding a massive concert wherein not only did he graffiti his name on the weapon, but he sang "Trogdor" because Discord gonna Discord.
Yeah it's not serious or anything, but it would fit his character.
This timeline also answers my question of what happened to Diamond Tiara, since Warfare established that Silver Spoon committed suicide in Canterlot. But did anything happen to Twist? Warfare established that she was part of the Canterlot Guard, did she make it out of the war okay?
Also, not totally pleased with how Braeburn came out in this story- don't get me wrong, I'm happy for him finding a lover/boyfriend/husband, but him moving to Texas for the rest of his days... I was kinda hoping he would be on the front lines like Fluttershy was. I thought that would have fit Applejack's hatred of her former cousin more, but hey, it's your story and I'm just complaining.
5452592
Diamond Tiara died in the bombing of Ponyville. Twist also died in the war.
5451787
5451793
So uh he's right. Sorry for bringing it up again i thought to be helpful again.
5452606
But can we still have Discord sing Trogdor?
5452811
If u want in your head canon
Always felt sad Pinkie and Rarity died like they did.
5452815
What happend to the Crystal-Ponies? I mean I know they got nuked to kingdom come and eventually they all died off. Cause all of them went them to go sterile.
But what did they do? I mean sure they're all sterile and will die out eventually but what happend after the bombing of the Crystal Empire, but before they're eventual extinction?

Most were put as refuges or tried fighting in the war. When the war was over they were given their own town for the remaining population to live out their days until hey all died off. They mostly just kept to themselves and rarely interacted with anyone, especially the humans who they still blamed for their race's destruction
Not against it, but I was hoping Braeburn's human lover was a woman.
Do you have a Discord server? And also, why are your stories so depressing?

No I don’t and not all my stories are
Amazing timeline. I only hope it gets expanded by future stories set in this universe. I do have a few questions though.
1. Were there any very high ranking/deep inner circle members of the Equestrian government and/or military who were secretly working for the humans? (i.e passing along vital information on troop movements, the locations of HVT's ect)
2. When the barrier fell, were there any humans that defected to Equestria in order to help them in their efforts?
3. Were special forces inserted into Equestria when the barrier fell to conduct special operations? (such as forming insurrectionist forces, destroying supply lies, getting vital information, assassinations or even the rescue and extraction of ponies who were helping the humans all along?)

1. That I leave up to readers/writers
2. No, but there were some extremist groups early in the war who believed that what Equestria said about humanity was true and tried to help them by acting as terrorists groups, but they were pretty much wiped out in a year.
3. Yes, but I never went into detail about that
Seeing as you've written some good stories in the past you should take a shot at it :)
Um, in this post it says the war ended in 2050, but in the post war blog is says that the starting year for the post war is in 2049. Which one is it, if I may ask?

Okay, thanks.
Someone should really make this into a mod for HOI 4.

This is a good idea for a more narrative focused mod
