Directly After Dusk Warfare

The High Command begin the investigation and inquiry into Dark Storm. Celestia and Luna succeeded in convincing the Gryphon King that the massacre was done by a rouge Equestrian military operative, the Gryphons agreed not to retaliate against Equestria, if they were allowed to make Dark Storm face Gryphon justice, to which Equestria made a counter-proposal; He would be tried by both Kingdoms for his crimes.

A few days after the investigations have begun, Dark Storm leaves the armed forces to avoid trial and then suddenly disappeared of the grid entirely, in order to avoid being persecuted as a civilian, and the inquiry against him was dropped

But the others under Dark Storms command were persecuted by both Equestria and the Gryphon Kingdom. 


2 Years after Dusk Warfare

Civil war breaks out, with an insurgency of extremists trying to topple Celestia and Luna.

Dark Storm had disappeared and left the Army, before the trial. Before resurfacing again during the civil war, by committing acts of terrorism against Equestria.

The insurgents attempt a coup, but ultimately fail, and their leadership is eliminated.

The decapitated rebels start to fade as a force, until Dark Storm uses his influence to seize control over the extremist remnants.

His influence spreads like a cancer, consuming the criminal underworld. Recruiting Gryphons, Hippogriffs, Diamond Dogs, Dragons and Changelings, to his cause.

He starts his massive reign of terror against Eqeustria, causing unrest and fear, and straining the relations between Equestria and the Gryphons even further.

2 years after the civil war, Dark Storm has become Equestria’s most wanted, with attacks daily and tensions only growing both outside and within Equestria’s boarders.
