Professor Dusty Tomes, Equestria's greatest scholar and Twilight Sparkle's childhood hero, arrives in Ponyville on a mission from Princess Celestia. He must study a unique phenomenon: a being whose inexplicable powers may have the potential to benefit Equestria—or even to destroy it. The object of his research? The cheerful, exuberant pony known as Pinkie Pie.

Twenty years later, Celestia has for the second time taken on a new private student. Twilight can no longer be the Faithful Student, but feels she has failed to become anything else. She must find out what and who she now is—and the difference between these things.

"My dear Twilight Sparkle,

Thank you for your recent letters. And I must apologize to you first and foremost that I have not responded back in kind to each and every one. I imagine has this concerned you, but please don't worry. Things have been very unsettled here in the castle as of late. Princess Luna has been researching Equestrian history, and I find myself in a strange kind of mood..."

Before the founding of Equestria, before the final alienation of the three pony tribes, Star Swirl the Bearded was famed as the greatest teacher of magic in unicorn history. Now, one of the legendary conjurer's students finds himself exiled across time, trapped in a world he hardly recognizes. As he struggles to uncover the forces that displaced him, the unicorn Bellbray must use all his magical training to find a way back to the life he left behind.

Darrilon has proudly served Princess Celestia for many years, and risen to the rank of Captain of the elite squad known as the Solarian Patrol. But every day is a new challenge when your superior officer (and divine ruler) has no respect for protocol or procedure.

There are many big transitions in a pony’s life. Few are larger and more life altering, though, than the ascendance undergone by Equestria’s newest triarch, Princess Twilight Sparkle. In these three brief interviews with each of Equestria’s rulers, and one pulled from the archives of the previous decade, we attempt to get a look at life, through the eyes of the immortal.

Club Harmony is the hottest new joint in all of Equestria. Owned by Octavia Philharmonica and Vinyl Scratch, Club Harmony has become famous for its mixture of classical music and modern rock, bringing ponies from all over the land to experience the lights and sounds (and to get wasted at the same time).

But not all is well in the land of wubs. Vinyl and Octavia still have to deal with their personal lives, as well as the lives of their patrons. Can the two of them handle the responsibility or are they destined to crack?
