An interesting story, that it is. Also itnersting that ancient artifacts are being brought up here, and ancient beings. Albeit it seems no one ever notes that Chrysalis only beat celestia because of luck and her gluttony. PRetty sure chrysalis is not half the spellcaster celestia is,
Something that seemed to never be brought up in your story is basically old magic. True you had that evil book, but otherwise no other beings were noted. Even trixie was a creation of the war. No forces that predate the world ever appear. Albeit there would be no point to. The world is barely starting to recover by the time little pip makes her appearance.
Right idea, but the princess is in another castle.
You just had to use that there didn't you...? Aw well, damn it I got beat to first again! It's nothing to worry about but goodness I want to be first for once! Anyway, the story is picking up well and be saying that things are looking bad considering what I've read right now, really? Unending daylight? Not cool!
Trixie: Trixie finds unending sunlight to be... unpleasant...
Why? You hate getting a sunburn?
Trixie: Trixie does not want to talk about it! Just... not now... Also that joke has although gone stale finds it a bit amusing...
Really? Well okay then Trixie, wonder how things are going with everyone right now. Sees party going on with TF2 and MLP cast Definitely going well for this kind of party...
This plan isn’t good for anybody. By Tartarus, it’s apocalyptic! What is the point of winning the war if you wipe out everyone and everything you’re fighting for in the process?
Though I am curious about a thought I just had while considering the chapter lecture that was in the beginning of this chapter and all the others to come, Kkat.
If this report ever made it to who she was suppose to report to, would some of this stuff fall under the interest of MOI and the MOM?
Just curious because while I know Daring Do is simply explaining things to make the situations clearer to the reader. I can't help but think some of the stuff she's writing seem like they would be contradictory to what Rarity's smear propaganda was going for and that might get Pinkie attention as well.
I had this idea for a what-if scenario: what if the bombs never fell, or the war never happened or was won by Equestria? What would the future country be like if it was never reduced to a radioactive wasteland? Would Pip or the others still exist, and if they did, what would their lives be like? Not sure how well I myself could write it, but if the idea inspires you, I would love to see what you come up with.
Alternatively, have you ever thought about writing a prequel to FoE, set before and perhaps during the war? I would be interested to see what the lives of the Mane Six were like in peaceful times and after. I know there was a lot of conflict between the ministries and their respective Ministry Mares, such as between Pinkie and Twilight due to the former's addiction to Mint-alls.
Thanks to Nightmare Moon, the zebras know how devastating it is to be trapped under unending sun. They don’t seem to get just how bad unending night is, which is the situation they’ll be putting themselves in if they pull this off.
Isn't this backwards? They want to get rid of Luna by creating an endless day... right?
If we recall the stories of the three pony tribes from the Old Country, we are reminded that ponies of each race – pegasi, earth ponies and unicorns – each believed the others to be inferior. Not by birth, but by culture and morality.
We pegasi have wings and skill in battle!
We unicorns control the very essence of magic itself and wield it at our leisure!
We grow food and when we get done with that we'll pull your cart, fool!

What I got from it is that the world is round, and the zebras are on the opposite side to equestria. So 1000 years ago when Luna did the eternal night thing for equestria, that meant it was daytime on the zebra side of the world.
Each pony has her own opinions, and even though she may rationally acknowledge that the opinions of others are equally valuable, she does not truly believe that. Her opinions are, after all, based on her own education and experience, which are necessarily correct; thus, her opinion is naturally superior to that of any who disagree. And if a vast majority disagree, it is not because she is wrong, but because she is exceptional.
Differences are more easily accepted when the difference is academic or aesthetic, but not when the differences are in perceptions of proper and improper. Or, worse, right and wrong. When presented with a culture or morality that conflicts with our own, the pony mind is often swift to judge and, by nature of homocentric morality, finds anything different to be inferior and degenerate. This leads some ponies to decry those who are culturally or morally different; it leads others of us to feel burdened with the responsibility of uplifting, educating or even “saving” them.
Did...did you...did you just psychoanalyze xenophobia? ... impressive.

I know I'm years late to the party on this one but I think you've mixed "sun" and "night" up by accident in this bit.

Awesome! Was NOT expecting the fourth chapter to be uploaded so quickly! Enjoyed every moment of it. Food for the brain! :P
6592591 kkat had all of these posted into her blogpost a long time ago. she just made them into a story for practicality sake.
Oh my flerp. Ok, this has an instalike and fave.

This is really good. Wish I had followed you sooner so that I could have read it when you first wrote it. Ah well, least I can read it now.
Another interesting chapter.

6592438 It's a thousand year cycle before all the ancient evils emerge, and Fallout:Equestria is only set 200 years later.
I had this idea for a what-if scenario: what if the bombs never fell, or the war never happened or was won by Equestria? What would the future country be like if it was never reduced to a radioactive wasteland? Would Pip or the others still exist, and if they did, what would their lives be like?

Am I the only one who thought of Slenderpony at the end?
Meanwhile.

I'm not sorry... I am not sorry
Haha! Awesome chapter well done Kkat, loved it! love these little paddings she's doing, they're so interesting! :D

Hahahah
Gawd damm these jokes
Because war.. war never changes
I have a mental image of popcorn whilst reading these mission reports.

9225327 The logic is that locking Equestria in endless night would lock the zebra side of the world in endless day.
