Shocking archeaologic finds throughout the world would turn Equestria upside down. Before Celestia, Nightmare Moon, before all of it, there was a great empire that was far beyond Equestria's own. And it left a massive legacy that would passed down as myths and legends, and the truth would only be rediscovered three thousand years later. It would prove strange habits, names of cities, languages, technology, engineering, everything Equestrian, unoriginal. But the ruling class of Equestria has banned any further research on the thousands of sites that could be traced to the myths. Only the truly daring and adventurous would dare break the law to find out if those ancient legends and creatures, in a time before ponies, were true. And Lyra Heartstrings believes in the ancients' existence, and embarks on a journey to prove it.
