Long before the founding of Equestria, before Hearth’s Warming, the three pony tribes lived together, but separate. Earth ponies were the only ones who could grow crops and cultivate the land. Pegasi were able to manipulate and create weather and, as exchange for rain, they got food from earth ponies. Unicorns could raise the sun and the moon, which they did also in exchange for food. Life was peaceful for each of the pony tribes, but, apart from the trade of essentials the tribes had no further interest in each other. In fact, they were resentful toward each other, which was why they were easy prey for the wendigos.

The sky was covered in frozen storm clouds. The soil had grown infertile. The three tribes thrashed the blame on each other, saying the Earth ponies were hogging the food, the Pegasi were destroying the weather, and the Unicorns were using their magic to ruin everything else. With this, the wendigos had more hatred than they ever could have wished to feed off, creating a frozen tundra encompassing the entire homeland of the ponies.

Some say it started when the Pegasi raided Earth pony barns and stole their food supplies. Others claim it was when the Earth ponies attacked the Unicorn royal castle. The rest agree it began when the Unicorns started using magic to create super-weapons. It depends on which historian you ask, and whether or not they have wings or a horn.
