[Excerpt from ‘Truth of the Order’ by noble stallion Sun Spiral Swirl in an open letter to the people of the EverFree Dominion. Found in the Royal Archive of Her Majesty, Princess Celestia Invictus by Historical Archivist Twilight Velvet Sparkle]



To blot out the Sun. That was the goal of this heinous Order of the Black Sun. Founded by some nobody unicorn named Stygian. Ex-apprentice to the Great Starswirl the Bearded, which should be enough to consider this so-called ‘pony’ a menace to society.



His Order was a ragtag group of retrobates and brigands that bullied the common folk into becoming conscripts to their militant forces designed to overthrow Her Majesty, Princess Celestia Invictus in the early days of her reign. Because whom else could they possibly be referring to when they say that they want to ‘blot out the sun’?



They were surprisingly well-trained, but no match for the superior military force of Her Majesty. In just a few years, their entire Order was imprisoned and put on trial. On recommendation from the Noble House of Swirl, the descendents of the Great Starswirl the Bearded of which I am part, the criminals were justly executed for crimes against the crown.



There is no room for these overglorified bandits in modern times.



With the solid establishment of the dual Diarchs upon the throne and subsequent cementation of the Noble Houses, we shall finally be able to build our great nation of Equestria into what it is meant to be.



All that remains is to remove any remaining traces of that disgusting hearaldry from their bandit hideouts.



[Note is attached by Twilight Velvet Sparkle addressed directly to Her Majesty, Princess Celestia, asking for clarification on the identity of Luna Invictus and the heraldry in question. Additionally, there is a request for the following books: ‘An Apple Family History’, ‘A Botanical Guide to Canterlot’, ‘Leadership in the Equestrian Astronomical Association’, ‘Timeline of the Canterlot Harmonic Society’, and ‘Founding of the Wonderbolts’.]



[This request has been reviewed by Bright Churn Swirl and promptly denied. Action has been taken to move Twilight Velvet Sparkle out of the Historical Division and into a place better suited for her fantastical observations: Foal’s Literature.]
