//------------------------------// // History of Humanity (With a little propaganda) // Story: The God of Anger // by The Toaster //------------------------------// A summary of the History of Humanity. Corrected and shared by the elder county, approved by Lord Vader himself. Much of the information is vague, having been lost in the great war and in the age of division, the information in this document has been passed down from father to son for generations and by the orders of the God of Anger, all possible information collected and documented to share with the people. There were two races before Equestria was divided, before the way it is today, those where were Alicorns and Draconequus. Mythical and monumental beings both with different types of magic and both species dominated the land, many believe that they were the creators of the world, even without any evidence. One day, for a reason lost to us, war broke out. The war completely ended both species, in a genocidal war that ravaged the entire world. But even so, some managed to survive, the self-declared 'mother of Equestria' an Alicorn named Faust, who took her daughters and a abandonned Draconequus cub and fled the war, managing to avoid it and survive. 'Luna and Celestia' were their names, the supposed 'chosen ones' of the sun and moon, and 'Discord' the last Draconequus, the chosen one of the Chaos. After growing up and with the mysterious disappearance of their mother, the reason is mysterious even to this day, the children split up, Discord created different species in his image; dragons, minotaurs, griffons to worship him, while Luna and Celestia created Earth ponies, pegasus and unicorns in defiance. With conflicting ideologies, war innevitably broke out with the siblings holding old grudges. Humans came out of nowhere, possessing values ​​on both sides but belonging to neither, they shouldn't exist according to records, but on a night when a meteor shower occurred, our species was born as a divine figure wished. They were neutral about the entire conflict between the forces of Chaos and Harmony, very much focused on internal conflicts. But one day, a lord experienced in the black arts built an empire from the bottom to an enormous nation that rivaled Equestria and Chaos, from a small village to countless cities overnight and unifying the entirety of humanity under his banner. His powers were of the types never seen and used by humans before, his invincibility in combat and supposed 'immortality' had made him gain the perception of him being a divine figure, since most of them were absent from magical affinities. His wisdom was unimaginable and his exploits in combat were as impressive, he saw the situation in the world and how war could bring the possible end of time again, and in his infinite knowledge he declared a crusade in order to unify the world. A crusade for mere humans was something that many other lords looked at and laughed at first, but against all odds, he won against every single one of his neighbors, carving a large and terrifying empire, and accidentally caught the attention of the sisters of the night and sun and the Chosen One of Chaos, even so the Lord refused all of their advances and promises. His tactics were absolutely devastating, and he had managed to sweep half of the continent in mere decades. A forced alliance was made between the forces of harmony and chaos, created to crush this emerging power, and with that, the great war was started. Very little is known about this conflict, but what historians from all races can say is that it was one of the greatest ever seen in the history of the planet, millions of beings of all races and beliefs fought and entire cities turned to ashes. But the forces of Humanity were defeated by their magical counterparts, their tactics and strength were admired by soldiers on both sides, however their obvious lack of magic give them a huge disadvantage, the Human King of kings was defeated in direct combat with the sisters Alicorn and the Lord of Chaos, even though he managed to face the three in even ground, he was no match for the combined power of the three gods. He succumbed to his injuries, but promised the gods that one day he would return and destroy everything they ever build and loved. With the defeat of their leader, the human forces were completely leaderless and had been annihilated. Their lands annexed by their neighbors, both parting the land among themselves and taking humans as slaves to pay the debt and destruction they caused. Many sources are very conflicted about the exact dates, but it can be deduced that the war lasted almost four decades along with millions of deaths with many more injured. This was the end of human power and independence in the political theater for millenia to come, they were only spectators when Luna rebelled against her sister and innevitably returned, together with the defeat of the forces of Chaos. The species of the chaos, instead of suffering the same fate as them, were only released to form separate kingdoms between their species; dragons, minotaurs and griffons under the command of kings loyal to Celestia. Even with a golden age for the pony's and an era of peace around the world, humans were the ones who suffered the most. Many joined one side or the other in search of possible freedom, but even those who joined the fight alongside Celestia against her enemies, were always sent in the end back to slavery. They bled and died alongside Equestrians, they helped expel the Changelings, they were used as a cannon fodder to lessen casualty's of ponys without question, and yet, even after decades of conflict and instability and with total loyalty to the crown, they were rewarded with returning to their iron chains in the peace periods thereafter. In the history books they were described as cowards who abandoned their fellow ponies to die, while their hooved counterparts fought bravely for survival, even if in the events the reality had been the complete opposite. Humans have never felt so wronged in their entire existence, and yet, there was nothing they could do. While villains who had fought against Equestrians were redeemed and placed in luxury villages in their 'schools of friendship' alongside the celebrations after the defeat of the Triumvirate of Terror, humans were just thrown back into the fields. Most had already accepted their existence as just servants, cursed by the gods, cursed to suffer forever, in uniform for the problems of other species. This was all before him, this was before our Lord's return. In a huge shooting star and cutting across the skies in its magnificent radiance, our lord has returned. The few who witnessed him could already say, he was a divine being. The group of royal guards who sought to discover the location of the shooting star were completely wiped out with divine fury inspiring to the naked eye, using spells never seen before and a crimson sword that shone with a fervor that easily surpassed that of the sun. He led the free slaves of that expedition to glory, that day the first freemen already knew, it was the moment of retribution. And even with him encouraging the freedmen to take the path they wanted and not waiting for help, everyone present knew that he was the chosen one, and that they should serve and help him at all costs. On the clearest night, all newly freed men swore allegiance to the God who had returned, that moment would be remembered for generations as the rebirth of the Human Dynasty. As our Lord showed us, darkness was our friend, she served him, and we came to venerate her for protecting us from the slave forces of the sun, and with that, we grew and triumphed. Slowly we get stronger under the nose of the fool of the sun, and slowly we learn. Our Lord graced us with his unprecedented wisdom, he with absolutely nothing managed to create a triving city, and then collaborate with several other human cells throughout the Crystal Empire (One of Celestia's Puppets). He created everything for us, from armor for our military organization, from books to our homes, and crops to our farms, together with a new human writing alphabet! Hundreds of years of lost knowledge were recovered and added in a matter of months, and our lord even created revolutionary new gunpowder weapons, something that took to the griffons and ponies decades. He did so much more in a few weeks than the Equestrians had promised Millenia ago, and now, the prophecy passed from grandmother to grandchild was being fulfilled, a new crusade of darkness was declared by our glorious lord of the dark side. A new era is in our hands! And vengeance will be bestowed on us by the one who came from heaven to guide us! Our lord will need all the help! Join now the newest imperial army! And bring glory to our successors! All Hail Lord Vader! The Savior of Humanity!
