The dark sign. A curse. a brand on the skin of every undead. 

The undead. Poor souls that are brought back to life after death, but in exchange, they slowly lose sanity and intelligence, and their skin starts rotting away. they'll start to crave souls. killing other undead, killing the living, and other creatures. This is called hollowing. Every time they die, the more they spiral into insanity. Once they go completely hollow, there's no going back. However, there is a way to reverse the hollowing before an undead goes past the point of no return. Effigies. They return an undead back into their normal state. not much is known about them.

Long ago, Equestria was full of life, love, and friendship. After a while, something happened that changed Equestria for the worst. The princess of the sun, Celestia, started to refuse to lift up the sun and bring the day. . After countless days of having no sun. That was when the Curse of the undead started to appear. The in inhabitants of Equestria were outraged. When Celestia came out to speak to the public, she blamed her sister, Luna, and sent her to the moon.  

Celestia ignored the curse, pretending like it never existed in the first place. Once her sister was out of the way, she once again raised the sun. But when she raised it the light emitting from it was weak. A dark orange colour covered most of Equestria. After that Celestia vanished, and no one knows why she did all this, and unless celestia returns, no one ever will. 

After that, many years of war followed. the dragons fought against the ponies. The dragons blamed the ponies for the damage done to the sun, and for bringing about the curse. There was also in-fighting with the ponies. which cause more problems, more ponies died, more ponies went hollow. In the end, the dragons won. There was just no saving Equestria at this point. 

But, there is a legend of an undead that would stand up and change the land of Equestria, forever.
