In a land with no heroes, two goddesses seek to defeat the tyrant known as Tirek who has been stealing the magic of ponykind.
Only there is no glory as their broken sorority hangs in the balance of a war-ravaged land where hope has been snuffed out and history is hardly ever the truth.

Chapters (18)
Truly introspective and informative. This poetry could be beautiful if it wasn't so sad and bitter. Bittersweet.
In what order should I read the stories of the Iceverse?
7584196 Well, this story doesn't require you to read any other ones but there are a few points you can start from depending on what you want to read about. This group has a timeline in the forum as well as folders for different arcs and lists of what order to read them in. The timeline merely lists the order in which they occur. This bookshelf stores all the stories in the group, but in random order.
tl;dr version: Crystalline and Blade are good places to start. I hope you enjoy whichever story you choose to read!
What if the nomination "the Bearded " was meant as an insult instead of a simple name?
Starswirl would take pride on his name if he was called: Starswirl the Wizard or Starswirl the Magician . Starswirl the Bearded instead sounds like someone is mocking him, saying that his beard his only thing relevant of his persona.
7591455 I think it's 'cause they lacked creativity for epithets, but they probably are insulting him.
Unicornia? this happened before or after the Hearth Warming?
7609513 The tribes were described as divided in chapter one, so yes.
ICY YOU LIL SH-
*deep breath*
Icy, how do you expect me to read your stories if you never finish them?
7930042 How do you expect me to write something as big as Favorable Alignment with distractions?

Did you make the picture in your avatar?
8019452 Nope. There's a source there.
You sir, are a poet of remarkable talent. This is going straight into my favourites shelf :)
And I think you deserve a follow. Not many folk are talented and brave enough to post an entire story in the form of a poem.
8046341 Thank you! I'm glad this story caught your eye. I have written other poetry as well - the styles will vary, but it's poetry all the same - which can be found among the forty or so I've written.
8046365 I remember when it was 50 ha
But then you moved the oneshots :L
8046535 Some of them!
8046629 At least 5 of them
My word! Not only is this a Scorpan and Tirek fic, of which there aren't much, this is in the form of poetry! Reading this I feel like I'm reading some age-old text from a time forgotten in history! Masterfully done!

Thanks for enjoying this one so much! It hasn't really gotten a comment in a while, so it's always nice to see these notifications pop up. If you're a Scorpan and Tirek fan (they seriously could use some more stories) they haven't appeared in any of my other stories other than this poetry collection, but they're mentioned/semi-related to my two Clover the Clever stories, which are also historical as well. A large portion of my stories are historical-Equestria based, and there's more poetry too. 'Autophobia' tends to be my best known story for this, and one of the poems in here mimics the style that story has.
You can has review!
Is that title a reference to Loom by any chance?
(That wasn't meant to post with just one word, sorry!)

I wasn’t able to find what that was a reference to on google. Is it another book? Or maybe a show or movie?
I didn’t reference anything with the title, but if there’s anything that also uses it I’d be very amused to see it. But no, the title is of my own making.
