The United Century was promised to us to be an era of prosperity. Ponykind was to take on new levels of existence, achieving potentials we could only dream of. Everything was in place; the kingdoms had united into one worldwide government, wars had ceased and research into magic had taken leaps not seen since Starswirl the Bearded's age. We were on the verge of something great, a true turning point in the history of the world. For the first time, everypony was united and working towards a single goal: advancing the ideals that became the cornerstones of the United Century; those of peace, harmony and friendship.

However, the United Century was never to be what we envisioned it. From it's very first day, the chronicles of this age were penned in blood. Not even an hour after going into effect, a single act of terrorism changed the whole tone of the United Century. With the attack on and subsequent deaths of the leaders at that time, our illusion shattered like thin ice under a hoof.

There was to be no peace in the United Century.
