Once upon a time, there was a land of Crystal Ponies in the far north from Equestria. This Crystal Empire was ruled by a wicked unicorn king named Sombra, who enslaved the crystal ponies and turned the Crystal Empire into a parched wasteland. The two righteous sisters who ruled over Equestria challenged him and cast him into the shadows, but not before he cursed the Crystal Empire to fade from existence.

When the Crystal Empire returned, so did Sombra, and he set out to claim the kingdom once more. For a moment, it seemed Equestria would be challenged by a new, deadly force. Ultimately, Sombra was vanquished by the love and friendship the bearers of the Elements of Harmony and their friends and loved ones.

Even in death, however, Sombra's poisoning fear and hatred crept along the land. His revenge was not through yet.
