The kingdom of Whitefall, a long-standing bastion to the east of what is now modern day Equestria. Founded eons before the rise and rule of the alicorn sisters, Whitefall was a proud kingdom, ruled by a succession of benevolent monarchs. But dark forces conspire to bring down the monarchy and reduce Whitefall to ruins.
This story is heavily inspired by the lyrics of the song 'Viva la Vida' by Coldplay, with chapter titles taken from lyrics. The chapters will be ordered according to lyrics, and as such will not be in chronological order. To clarify where in the timeline different chapters fall, the story is separated into four rough eras; the Age of Benevolence, the Age of Descent, the Age of Tyranny, and the Age of Rebirth. Each section will clearly state which era it falls in.
Most of the story will be told from King Juras' point of view, however, some sections will come from other points of view.
I hope you enjoy.
I always thought someone should make a fic based off of this song. Even contemplated doing it myself for a while, but I did not have the skill.
I am happy to see someone does.
2707759 I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for the fave. Unfortunately I shall only be updating sporadically, as I intend to write the story in chronological order so I can ensure details do not contradict, so even if I keep to a writing schedule, actual releases will not follow a schedule

Thats perfectly fine, good things happen to those who wait afterall.
(Unless you're waiting to see whether or not a knife is about to find it's way into you're throat... That, I imagine, would end poorly)
Why the hell doesent this story have more views?
Also, Short chapter is short.
2796481 Yea, the problem with following the lyrics of a song, you don't always have a good idea for each one. I have some fantastic ideas coming up though
Yeah I suppose that would be something to expect. Anyhow can't wait for the next chapter
