Peace and harmony reigned over Equestria for over a millenia but what of prior and during Discord's reign of chaos? Before Discord's imprisonment, many deities commanded respect and fear. From the strong earth, to the great seas, to the majestic skies, Old Gods had reigned and ponies a plenty had worshipped, revered, and feared the wrath of their respective gods. After Discord was overthrown, the Old Gods vanished without a trace. Where did these powerful beings disappear to was the talk of scholars throughout the ages and in Equestria's modern age, the topic is only lightly touched upon.

However when an alicorn arrives in Canterlot with a message from Tartarus, the situation only deepens... The Old Gods are returning.
