I'm not a fall of equestria fan but this intriguing. I will be following it,

Sombra taking the caribou down..... Sounds interesting ill get the popcorn

So, we have a "The Lesser Evil" situation here.
Or "Evil but with Standard".
interesting.

Very interesting..... following it now.

Well I can picture Sombra likely wanting revenge on the princesses in his own way.

I can't picture him as a real hero but I can picture him as being an evil fighting another.

Although I think he would likely try to gain some caribou slaves eventually (But he would take them his own way not someone forcing a slave to take him he would be the one to control the slave he uses no one else) and test them about what they can do or if the only thing they seem to respond with was lewd things.

I can totally picture the reason why he killed them was essentially the slave and master just forced the slave to take him without Sombra's permission which likely deeply insulted him. After all who would have the audacity to rape Sombra.

If anything Sombra also seems to also use suffering in ways as well. It would be interesting to see how two separate evils clash.

Count me in...

You know I also think Sombra will need to get ahold of someone to practice his mind domination magic like he use to use. I don't think he would risk a wild pony maybe first to test it out on how it affects Caribou.

He may find that due to how Caribou women act they act like perfect servants and pawns very loyal and even though good for harem they do have the potential to be useful tools in his campain maybe even to use as cannon fodder or even enforcers if he can use his mind domination magic and manipulate their weaker minds into useful pawns. They likely wouldn't have improved intelligence since they were always like that but he could likely turn their lustful impulses, loyalty and submissiveness to his own advantage.

He may try to eventually test it on Male Caribou but likely after he manages to successfully get his mind domination magic refreshed on Ponies again. Caribou females would likely be a first experiment.

I can picture Sombra may first try to use the money he acquired at that home to buy a slave for testing. He would likely keep a hood over his head so ponies wouldn't recognize him since it's likely to himself he would be remembered and want to keep the Caribou not aware of him until he was fully ready to strike.

I also dough he would put aside his want to revenge it's likely he would want to keep all the ponies who was responsible for his down falls to he his slaves and not a slave of someone as unworthy as to take over equestria using such a basic form of magic.

Well, this is an interesting start. If Post FOE fics could have Tirek and/or Queen Chrysalis as heroes (or at least unexpected allies), why not King Sombra? It would be interesting to see if Sombra is willing to take on the caribou for Equestria's benefit, or wants to rule Equestria himself. It should be interesting to see what will happen when Sombra comes upon The Mane 6 or the Alicorn Sisters (Celestia and Luna) for that matter.

I had kind of wanted Sombra to make another appearance in MLP after the Season 3 opener, The Crystal Empire. Although he made another great, albeit brief appearance in the Season 5 ender, Cutie Re-Mark, I would still like to see more of him in future episodes.

So, I will await more chapters from this. Do you think including Discord would be too much to ask?

6776335 In his current state, Sombra himself will have to align with very unlikely allies. Who those allies will be, you'll have to wait and see ;P

Hmm. Intresting. Sombra, a slavery who see only himself a superior, vs the male dominated caribou?

..

...

Well...

Heil Sombra, eh min fraulines?

I love this! MOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!

Sometimes the only way to destroy evil is not with good, but a different kind of evil. After all it takes a monster to destroy a monster.

6777741 that is true and scary as well

You know you can think of Sombra as an equal opportunity slaver. He would turn any one into a slave.

Also I just realized this Sombra is also likely angry because his revenge was snatched from him. And he likely would think that killing off the caribou to or their leader wouldn't be enough. I can totally picture him turning their leader into his personal butler or his personal Jester to taunt and torment even to be tormented by the slaves he will take from him.

I can actually picture Sombra eventually using his mental domination magic to try to turn a few female Caribou into loyal body guards or look for someone selling a Female Caribou who is at a very cheap price because she doesn't fit the normal measurements but extremely tall and muscled and use her to for an experiment to turn her mind into not simply a loyal slave but since he's still weak but to implant and alter her to give her his knowledge of combat and weapons and to suppress her lust and meekness and turn it into submission and loyalty to Sombra but to a point where if he gave the order she wouldn't hesitate to snap a Male Caribou's neck for him or fight to protect him no matter who gave a counter manning order. I can picture him after seeing an altered Female Caribou and say, "Those fools only use them as sex slaves they never thought that with the submission and loyalty could easily make them into such formidable soldiers...oh well I'll reborn the Caribou according to my will."

I bet however even though she would make for a perfect loyal protector...he may find it annoying that he couldn't enable her mind to completely willfully suppress her more lewd tendencies when she's not guarding him she keeps giving him begging looks. An annoyance at times but I think Sombra could put up with it due to the loyalty.

Good work, need someone to proofread, but good work.

I made Tirek into some sort of hero, but Sombra is another class. Tirek is a brute who needs magic, but was forced to work with ponies and eventually became sort of good, but still an ass if required. But I admit, i was just shooting the breeze on him.

But Sombra will still enslave... but this time it will be red collars, stallions and caribou. He will literally have all the black collars and resisting stallions flock to him because he will give them a chance for vengeance. I like it.

6781606 I'm always open for people to help look over my drafts and idea's ;p Still, I believed Sombra was the one character who fits perfectly in the FoE as either an allie to the ponies (Due to his history of enslavement) or and even bigger threat worse than the caribou. So it was only a matter of time until someone got a story together.

6782343 up to you really on where to take it.

And i can... advise, at best. I still got a massive amount of work for my other story... and the side stories....

6782502 Eeyup.

And hey, I understand if you're busy ^^

I wonder how Rainbow Dash would react to him? On the one hand, he's an evil tyrant bent on ruling Equestria, yet he would also be against the Caribou and their sexual slavery. His slaves are workers not just concubines, and he doesn't discriminate via gender.

I think due to her loyalty to Equestria and her friends, she may actually form a tentative alliance with him, until such time that the Caribou threat is removed. She respects fighters and power figures, so even if she were against his evil, I think she'd likely see him as the lessor of two evils and help him fight.

This has great potential. I look forward to seeing him overthrow the Caribou regime.

interesting

Hail Lord Sombra! Allchosen of the Gods! GLORY TO CHAOS!

All hail King Sombra!

I'll take the glorious King Sombra over this scrub Dainn any day of the week. Praise the darkness. Long may he reign.

7241552 Depend on the version of Sombra...

Damn when somebra says your fucked up you know something is wrong lol

I absolutely fucking love it

FoE isn't my cup of tea but this I have one thing to say.

Long Live The King!

None the less

Nonetheless

And yeah, I can totally see Sombra as not being happy with the squatters in his empire. He's one of the villains you can count on to be possessive like that. Other good canon FoE foils: the Windigos (duh), the Dazzlings (females seducing and enslaving, how twisted!), and Discord (double duh, even before his reformation).

Damn if this isn't an interesting and well written start. I love the way you have Sombra written-he is so clearly not a morally "good" character and even admits to the abuses he thrust on his slaves, but even he finds the Caribou abhorrent and the "cow" (I think is the correct term) he killed was more of a mercy kill.

Hell, even thinking from an in universe perspective him being opposed to the Caribou makes sense-much you pointed out (seeing brilliant tactics, strength, and spells from mares) but so much of his power seemed to be drawn from his subject's own hate, which, if the Caribou had their way, every mare-over half the population-would be mindless and without true will.

Off topic, but I like to the think of the caribou sometimes as the Norse of equestria, with the FoE ones having lost most of their culture and having reforged it to create what a sexually frustrated, underage preteen, extremely misogynisic (by dictionary standards, not tumbler standards), meninist extreamist would call paradise.

Sometime I wonder if there are any other caribou tribes out there, and what they would think of the reputation their kind gets out of this.

This is actually a very interesting story, though I find it both hard to believe, and easy that Equestria would lose. On one hand, they have extremely powerful magic that would easily wipe out the caribou’s. On the other hand, they would try too hard to go for a peaceful solution, and that would be their downfall.

Other than a few typos, this is a very interesting story. Very well done.

Not much into the Fall-verse, but Sombra being an anti-hero? This would be an interesting read.

Not a big fan of it myself yet I can't help but be intrigued by this story.

Aahh the greatest revenge and irony, after all in his revenge he'll take over equestria and maybe other lands. While in irony he will save it, from what it became in his absence.

"What was the meaning behind the bell?

Who was its ringer?

Why did they bring me back?

What was that thing?

Sombra recalled the horrific visage of the horned entity before he was taken in. A shudder crawled up his spine, that bony hand reaching out to him."

Grogar...

I had this in my bookshelf for M Rated stories after learning that this world was tied to Lightendark.

And now I'm going to read this. I feel a bit excited and curious as to how things go from here to then as well as knowing that this is your first story. This would also be my first Fall of Equestria story that I'll be reading.

Who knows, might give me ideas when I have the opportunity to write again.

Won't be commenting like I do with Lightendark since there I'm actively theorizing. Here I'm just reading for the sake of enjoy the story and the lore within it.
