Equestria. A land of friendship and harmony. Apart from the occasional irredeemable villain, nopony is left wanting for companionship. But what if you aren't a pony? What if you don't know what you are?

For those who live below, harmony can be quite different.

When her mother passes away unexpectedly, Twilight Sparkle reflects on a parent she neglected in pursuit of her own dreams. With only a little time left before the funeral, she returns home to piece together what she can of a life she barely remembers, hoping to make peace with the memories of a pony she took for granted.

On the eve of the Day of Reaping, the start of the Equestrian Harvest, it is traditional that a legend be told over supper: the legend of how the traditions surrounding the Day of Reaping came to be. It is a story of love, ambition, and vengeance.

Long before Equestria, a grand Unicorn King maintains a splendid garden. On one of his travels he brings a scorpion back to live within it. That scorpion, resentful of being removed from her home, sets out to have her revenge.

If Derpy tells a story in a burned down forest and nopony's there to hear it does she get a muffin?

Hayfever's lived in southern Equestria her whole life, never going far from the town in which she was born. But one day, during her midlife crisis, she decides to get out and see the world, traveling to the Crystal Empire alone and on foot. Her journey will take her all across Equestria, opening her eyes to the land she lives in. As she travels, she records her day-to-day adventures in her journal, slowly compiling a travelogue of all sides of Equestria, of big cities and secluded villages, of mountain peaks and river valleys, of ponies friendly and hostile. This is her journal. These are her tales.

Gerulf is a strong and able leader. He is cunning and charismatic. To top it all off, he's the greatest griffin warrior in a century or more. Hartwin, his brother, can play the lute. This is the tale of a gentle soul's journey through hell and back, and how it changed him forever.
