And of course, the gods didn't really seem to care about other species beyond that of the Equuis race

Assuming, of course, that every word of this remarkably self-aggrandizing tale - for which Celestia is conveniently the only source - is in fact the complete truth of the matter. It notably omits such things as the origins of the Tree and Elements of Harmony, where Discord came from if there's such a powerful barrier between the worlds, and more. Conveniently, it also happens to support Celestia's existing agenda.

As you've probably noticed, I like very biased perspectives.

Oh I figured it didn't need to be said, considering she specifically mentions it came from her father, not to mention she herself is very biased.

Such as the fact that even if the tale was true, it's likely enough that her family wouldn't exactly pass down. "Oh hey, we ruled the mortal races quite well, I mean sure we had to burn a thousand every year in bloody sacrificial arena's for our amusement to keep them in line, but still it was quite awesome". Nobody likes writing themselves as 'evil', but justified good.

Biased and incomplete is of course not necessarily the same thing as completely untrue. I wouldn't have posted it if it didn't have at least some insight into Celestia's history and motivation, as well as other interesting tidbits (such as where the Bluebloods come from and why she tolerates them).

Your Celestia has this deliciously hateable superiority complex. It's subtle, but there.

5292584 what's subtle about it? She has a bad case of white mans burden, can't argue with elves and the evils of freewill. Additionally the fact that they will only help those who revere them and believe in "racial destiny" says a lot about the alicorns as a whole.

Very solemn. I greatly enjoyed this. However the Slice of Life tag has no purpose and does not represent any content in the story. A Drama tag would work perfectly in its place.
