The year was 1009 ALB. A great trial awaits the once placid land of Equestria.
Following the secession of Stalliongrad in 995 ALB, the equine principality has reached its breaking point. The Marksist movement has gained hoofholds along the Eastern Seaboard, and its adherents have never been so prevalent among the working ponies. The scent of revolution hung in the air, ripe and ready, and perhaps the permanent revolution might come to Equestria sooner than one might think.
To the South, the chronic string of failures of the central government to address the racial inequality has all but fuelled the flame of dissent. Reforms may be stopped dead in its track within the parliament, but the hardy spirit of Earth ponies shall never be so easily snuffed! And words alone won’t soothe their growing ire. Actions are ahoof. The ponies have spoken!
To the North, Chrysalis could taste iron in the air. Militarized to the last ling, the Changeling Realm has long waited for a right time rewrite the defeat of the past, and the fractured state of Equestria offers a unique opportunity to strike! To erase the humiliation of the Canterlot Wedding and establish a hegemony befitting their food chain status once and for all!
Within the capital, intrigues abound. Treachery lurks in every corner as the nation threatens to tear itself apart. They say that blood is thicker than water, but one ambitious duke might be all it takes to prove otherwise.
Join the Gang of Four as they navigate the no pony’s land that was a nation coming apart at the seams!
Special Thanks to the magnificent developers, writers, artists, and musicians of Equestria at War mod for creating the pièce de résistance of a labour of love!
