Equestria is Divided, cities and towns compete and vie with each other, sometimes violently. Although Princess Celestia nominally rules the entire nation, in truth the land is splintered by factional and religious conflicts and each city largely fends for itself. Dark powers stir and strange monsters bite and peck at the fringes. This uncertain time lends to many adventurous Ponies making names for themselves, and the fate of the nation is unclear.
But not all is dark in these fraught times. Not all ancient powers are those at work for evil. Three unlikely friends are gifted such powers by a strange spirit, and are called upon by Princess Celestia herself to protect the world from the foul forces that plague it.
-Eclipse Corona, youngest son of an old noble unicorn family that once considered itself Luna’s heralds.
-Red Haze, a wandering unicorn traveling alone, seeking answers to a terrible vision of fire and death.
-Tiny Hooves, A friendly Pony seeking justice, and one with a significant secret… He’s no pony at all.
Along their path they are joined by others, not as powerful but no less heroic.
-Ormr, A yak prodigy sent by the tribe’s ancestors to prevent a foul future.
-Rampart Rock, An Earth pony soldier with a vow to protect others. With his own life if need be.
-Kerrek Shieldglare, A hippogriff thief, exiled from his home, desperate to recover a lost fortune.
These new heroes are watched and judged by Princess Celestia, and by other forces seeking to ascend to greatness and claim ownership of the world.
