Prologue: The Forgotten Lore



 
  


Long ago, before the peaceful rule of the royal sisters, and the splitting of the three equine tribes, there were only two races that dwell in the land: Ponies and Windigos.

The two races lived in peace and harmony for a very long time, they shared their lands and lived in happiness. There was not a single reason to fight. Both cherished their friendship.

Until one day, for an unknown reason, a war broke out...

Ponies and Windigos fought against each other, wrath and hatred filled the battlefield. The Lord of the Windigos advanced and vowed to freeze the land and rule an eternal winter. No one dared to stop him, because ,frankly, no one can. Not even the legendary Pillars of Light stood a chance against him.

As he was nearing his victory, a new type of pony emerged:  Alicorns, as they was called, a symbol the unity of all three types of ponies and a new symbol of hope.

Two alicorns stepped up and fought the King of Blizzards, and they emerged victorious! The Lord of Windigos was then imprisoned in a solid block of ice and was thrown to the deepest darkest depths of the Frozen North, where no one will ever find him.

As soon as their leader was defeated, the windigos was scattered between the land and became nothing but an old mare's tale.

Many years have passed, and the windigos are forgotten, the ponies began to quarrel against each other and was divided into three equine tribes: Pegasi, Unicorns and Earth ponies. The three tribes argued against each other and the windigos used their hatred to cover the land with snow and frost, and tried possibly free their king. But they were ,once again, overwhelmed and defeated by the ponies using their Fire of Friendship fueled by love and hope. Most of them was destroyed but the others escaped and was truly forgotten.

However, deep down in the depths of the Frozen North, the Lord of the Windigos patiently waits for the day he would be freed from his icy prison and exact his cold revenge...
