Welcome Dear Traveler,

The Megaspells destroyed everything we've ever known. Magical fallout from the destructive spells blanketed the land. This land is now called The Wasteland. Six ministries were created before the war, which are now a shell of their former selves. They were; The Ministry of Arcane Science, The Ministry of Morale, The Ministry of Wartime Tech, The Ministry of Peace, The Ministry of Awesome, and The Ministry of Image. They were led by; Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity respectfully.

The Ministry of Arcane Science, or Ministry of Magic, was created to develop spells and revolutionized the types of spells Unicorns can use. They were tasked with researching new spells, anything related to magic, and anything that would assist in the war effort. The Ministry of Morale was created to increase morale for the war and bring forth the patriots. However, there was another reason for them. They were used as a secret police to guard against conspirators and other enemies. They were used to uproot anypony against the war or down talking the war in any way. Pinkie Pie was so forthcoming with information that she openly told everypony the ministries true intentions, which brought fear to the ponies. The Ministry of War Tech was created to advance technologies for war, obviously. Anything ranging from power armor, airships, weapons, you name it, they built it.

The Ministry of Peace is where it all began. Fluttershy believed in peace, not war. Its purposes were to develop new medical procedures and materials and to also find a way to end the war without bloodshed. Fluttershy's increasingly desperate desire to bring about peace ultimately led to the development of the Megaspell technology, which Fluttershy eventually smuggled to the Zebras as an attempted peace offering. The megaspells were originally used to heal every living pony on the battlefield, but this plan did not last long. The spells could also be used for destruction.

The Ministry of Awesome did absolutely nothing. They were shut down and used as storage for the other ministries. This is what other ponies thought. They were actually a black ops group. Rainbow dash trained an elite group of pegasi ponies. It was primarily dedicated the research, development, and field-use of clandestine technology and resources, with the elite group of soldiers to test and use these new technologies in the field. Lastly : The Ministry of Image. Their primary task was propaganda. They had to design, create, and spread the news of the other ministries. They were forgotten about at times, but they were the force behind all of the other ministries.

The Stables were where most of the ponies hid while the mega-spell bombs were dropped. Cities, towns, farms, the capital; all of it was destroyed. Only remnants of cities were left and rebuilt. Those inside the Stables were protected from the bombs and the magic radiation. Each Stable is assigned a task to run on the fellow Stable dwellers. Some were... kinder to the dwellers more than others. Few actually were mimicking the regular life as a pony before the war. Others however, did tests. Tests ranging from experiments on plant life or creatures to even tests on the ponies in the stable. Many ended in gruesome ways. The stables were either abandoned or everypony inside died. With no chance of a proper burial or even their death being acknowledged, the Stable doors remained sealed for a long time. Why not forever? Because a few dumb-ass adventurers or in this case looters, decided to go through them. Probably released terrible monsters out into the wastes but whatever; it's an adventure. This is where our story begins, after the end.
