I wonder if that's going to come back to bite Celestia later. Iridium may or may not know it, but they're blood relatives.
I also wonder if Celestia taking the throne of Unicornia will cause a conflict of interest with her role as leader of the United Tribe. She could've declared the Unicornian monarchy dissolved and installed the United Tribe as the new central power. Instead, she took the Unicornian throne herself. Now, despite everything Luna has done, Unicornia is elevated above the other tribes in the minds of many just for Celestia's actions today.
Omg the new cover art
I half expected Celestia to crush the crown, the fall of the last of the three tribes, a symbolic gesture to put an end to an age of senseless violence, death, and tribalism, to begin a new age. In some way, Celestia has just ensured that in some way, a fragment of the past will always survive history by the mere existence of her rule, its history, and its roots.
However, such would explain why unicorn nobility had so much power to influence Celestia against Luna if they were from the original Unicornia nobility... Celestia should've just shattered the crown, and started anew.

I think Celestia's taking the throne by way of 'I have the biggest stick' so any claims relinquished by the old queen don't really matter because Celestia took the crown for herself in her own name.

Whether Celestia can legitimately claim the throne right now isn't an issue. Problems could arise later, though, if somepony finds out the terms of Iridium's surrender conflict with the fact that Celestia is her granddaughter.
Sure, anypony who makes an issue of it will be in the minority. But that minority could include the nobility, for example.
So... if you have 85+ parts to one thing, maybe once this is done posting pull it out into its own prequel? Just a thought.

unfortunatly celestia accending first is likely going to lead to problems that lead to luna being in the position she was in before the long space flight. 2nd is worse, celestia is older and actualy knows what to do, luna lead a bloody sige on all citys only to be stopped at by her better sister etc etc.
side note. you said you might do a celestia side to the story soon. would that start before or during this one?
Is there are more complete synopsis of the fic? I'm interested however am not sure if the time investment of 124 chapters is worth it

Agreement.
It's important for the story that we know the history of Celestia and Luna. But that could be done in short snippets like was being done before this massive download and the ones from before could be cut down as well. It's important to the story of historical Luna that she killed a starving civilian in the siege of Pegasopolis or that she avenged her mother by killing a hydra as a child, but the particularities of those events are probably not going to be necessary for us to understand her relationship to current Celestia or the Nightmare or the US Government or even how Lucas relates to historical Luna, all of which is where the plot of the actual story is.
Within the context of this story the last 63 chapters (literally half the story) and counting, is functionally one particularly self-indulgent flashback among many.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing Luna become an Alicorn now.
When we see that, I hope we go back to present day Luna and how she'll deal with Celestia.
This memory segment has gone on for a really long time and it might as well be its own story. Which is also why I held off on reading at part 40 or so. I'm hoping we'll see Luna get her wings soon and go back to the present.
When this is all done, Luna will probably be waking up from a days long coma lol
---
edit:
I just reread the last chapter before this memory sequence and yeah, she's 100% in some kind of coma rn.
I can't wait to see how she reacts to being found by celestia
also, when this sequence is over you should think about merging this sequence's chapters together. Like in arcs, Luna and Celestia leaving queensford for Ullahdmaiden, the tribes uniting at everfree city, Luna becoming a general and taking the subsequent cities, celestia becoming an alicorn at unicornia, Luna going on her moon quest

I completely agree, this would be the ideal time to return to the present.
Pd: I love this guy, he always has interesting things to say.
I'm confused here. Celestia didn't expect to become an alicorn? Then what was she expecting for?
11837135
Not necessarily. We should remember, that these are returning memories, not a dreams. You don't have to relive memory to remember it. Besides, it's not a fact that she's aware of what she's remembered. The memories of Discord are an example of this - Luna did not show any reaction to all his references, which now have to become clear to her.
11837244
No I have not.
That is in an earlier chapter, not repeated there to, well… Not repeat myself.
11837174
Oh shit, I didn't realize I have fans! I don't even post things, just comment.
11837251
Ah, I figured that must've been the case. I just got confused.
I'm rereading some of my favorite scenes
11836844
Rebuttal; Have you told your sibling everything you've ever dreamed and thought?
Don't think of Celestia's and Luna's currently depicted relationship as one that is actively neglectful, but as one born out of misunderstanding and miscommunication.

Even if she hadn't taken the throne, the Earth Ponies and Pegasi back South probably would've made her Queen anyway. To make a comparison, an Alicorn appearing and demanding the crown would be like if the second coming of Jesus appearing and shooing whoever was in charge out of their office. While not really kosher, what is everyone going to do? It's the messiah for crying out loud. Let them cook.
11836855
Right? It's so cool!
11837056
11837089
Disagree.
I've spoken before about this, but I'll reiterate.
If I did make the memories a separate fic, I would then be listening to complaints about how details of the side story are affecting the main story. As an example, if I were to introduce Character A in the side story, but have that same character appear in the main story as an important plot point, people would then ask who Character A is? Why are they important? What an asshole just appearing without context. Etc.
Addtionally, there are multiple reasons, story wise, that I have the sequence included. While you may not be aware of them yet, I have been laying tracks down for development later on.
11837135
I am thinking of at least renaming the memory chapters when the fic is done. However I'm content to leave them be for the moment, as the part system doesn't spoil anything.
11837176
Not necessarily. It depends on what Celestia saw in the prophecy. There are ways to imply she'll end up successful, but not include the whole Alicorn thing.
11837222
Fixed.
11837362
Ah.
