Path of the Tyrant Info Dump Part 1 · 1:32pm Apr 21st, 2021
Hey everyone, sorry I'm late to the party with this. This the info dump for Path of the Tyrant Part 1. For those of you who don't recall me cancelling the series to redo it you can find it on this blog (And no, commissions are still not back yet) https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/916953/important-news-assassination-of-twilight-sparkle-remake-and-commissions-are-open
There is a lot to cover what was going to happen in this one so mainly I'm going to be focusing on what happens before Majesty becomes Queen.
***
-First off, let's explain the whole Inquisition story line that I didn't finish. The ones behind the death of that priest and others later on was the work of a Cult known as the Nihilions, a cult that actually worships Centarus, who has become Nitharus due to being trapped in the Void for so long and twisted into become a God of Nothing. His followers seek to bring him back to the existence so he can end not just the world but the afterlife as well. He's the real big bad of the entire series. And he's trying to manipulate Majesty into become his herald because he sees the potential in her. Majesty is able to prove that cult exists which gets her out of the Inquisitions sight, but she forever marks them, and the Church itself as her enemy due to how they treated her.
-Over time Majesty continues to grow and become more powerful, and gets closer to her friends and Prince Silversteel which is a genuine romance for her. It's also revealed that Augusts Blueblood, at Nazo's suggestion, leaked the information of Luna knowing about the assassination attempt on Twilight to Princess Celestia which leads to their schism and Luna's self-exile. Unicornia then goes to war against the Centarus and eventually established Tirek as the king with his aid and they become allies. Professor Petrie is then able to create a new weapon in the world of Equestria that changes things: The Tank. Which is used to help fight against the Centaurs to counter their charging abilities. Basically how cavalierly became overcome my vehicles in warfare in WWI. While this is also happening, Sir Morning Blade and Sansha's child, Joyful Colors, is born and is raised also as a servant/slave.
-We then see Jade and Forest's family institution: Flutter Pony Imprisonment Camps Gehenna. What their family does is what can be described as the most horrible thing possible in the world. It is a concentration camp like so many guess, but its more then that. It's a cattle factory for the lack of a better term. Because its revealed what makes the crystal technology actually work. It's powered by life magic. The Flutter Ponies, and other slaves, are basically in concentration camps but are treated like cattle. Bred, raised, and slaughtered for their lives and soul energy which is trapped into crystals that is used to power technology. In short, the entire advance technology of a society is powered by the souls of the dead. This is where Forest finds himself accidentally befriending a Flutter Pony female named X0182 and finding himself attracted to her. Both Jade and Majesty find out and they swear to keep to secrecy.
-Queen Stormy eventually passes away thanks to Princess Eden Joy's constant poisoning of her, which is false labeled a Flutterpony plot and there is a mass purge as punishment. Forest uses his influence to keep his romance interest X0182 safe, and later helps fake her death to get to live with him in secret as a servant with the name Mira. Fearing his daughter and lover, Sir Morning Blade manages to safely get them away from Unicornia along with others, but gets exposed and charged with treason. However, due to his services, he's only given jail for life rather then execution, mostly as a request from Prince Silversteel. Meanwhile, Sansha and Joyful Colors manage to make it to Equestria, but Sansha dies of illness soon after and Joyful Colors is adopted by a pony family. However, things take an upturn for the Uncornias as thanks to the Centaurs help they manage to take over half of the Minotaur islands before allowing a peace treaty to be held.
-Nazo finds out about Majesty keeping Forest's secret and tells her there will be a time when she needs to choose her friends or her future as queen. Jade becomes jealous that her brother is spending so much time with Mira and tells Majesty that she's worried that her brother's romance will ruin them. Majesty then finds herself contacted by the Cult of Nihilions who tell her that her entire life has been manipulated by her family and that they will allow her to suffer so she can be their key to ruling Equestria. She doesn't believe them, but her tragedy strikes when Unicornia suffers a retaliation from the Church who believe that the Royal Family has been infiltrated by the Nihilions. This causes rioting and arguments before political shitstorms happen. Prince Silversteel tries to restore peace with Majesty behind him, but he is soon assassinated by an unknown figure. Majesty, in anger, unleashes her alicorn powers on the crowd and kills many ponies.
-Majesty is in grief over her lost loved one and is told by her Uncle that she can still be Queen but must marry Prince Sterling, but refuses. However, Prince Sterling promises to help her avenge the prince by revealing his plan to rid the Church of power in Unicornia and creating a Atheist state. Wanting revenge, she agrees and she with Prince Sterling work together to take down the Church and Inquisition. However, multiple districts are up in arms of the attack on their faith and thus rebel, but the two are able to work together so well that it's over in a matter of months. Many fear speaking out against Majesty and Prince Sterling who declare that the worship of Fausticorn is over, stating that she has never been there for them and declare that Unicornia will not bow to any gods, but be greater then them. King Mangus Platinum soon passes away from a broken heart, having lost the strength to rule with his wife and son dead. Majesty is then married to Prince Sterling and they become the King and Queen of Unicornia.
That's all I'm going to give for now there will be a part 2 or 3 in the future
I always appreciate when an author takes the time to lay out what they were intending to write after canceling a story.
Well, ain't THAT convenient...
Shit... so that entire society's technological advances are powered by deceased souls...
. I knew that Unicornia was fucked up, but... damn
.
Yup this story was going to go way dark. I definitely see why you would have not wanted to write it.
Thanks again for taking the time to explain how this would have gone.
I am sad this was cancelled since I was willing to stay with it until the very end, but getting these info dumps makes up for it.
If you put It that way, then I'd say that Unicornia is definitely just like the Nazis in during WW2 and just like the ones in Wolfenstein The New Order.

It's basically like Argent Energy from Doom.

.
It's gotta be... that is a whole new level of sick and just downright disrespectful to those who have passed on with their souls being used in such a way
dang, thanks for the info dump. now I'm getting ideas again. Just a matter of me setting the stage for things to happen
