Equestria isn’t what it used to be.
The changes are too incremental for a normal pony to notice. But for Princess Twilight Sparkle, now several hundred years old, life is becoming an incomprehensible blur.
Word of a three-eyed sorcerer wielding a strange new form of magic propels the princess on a journey into the ancient wilderness of the Equestrian north. In a cabin hundreds of miles removed from civilization, Twilight grapples with the strange politics of cattle farms, the morality of infanticidal deer, and the raw memories of ponies pushed to the margins of a rapidly changing world.
Equestria isn’t what it used to be. Maybe it could be better.
A meditation on generational trauma and change.
