In recent years, I have observed a disturbing trend among the ponies I come across in my line of work: a shocking ignorance of the basic history of Ganzir. I would not find this so distressing were it were not for the unfailing accuracy they bring to bear concerning the story of Griffonstone. I do not believe it would be an exaggeration to say that King Grover is a more well known figure in our capital than Princess Dawn!

The aim of this text is to rectify this imbalance by providing an accessible resource to aid in the education of our ponies. This volume covers the whole of Ganzir's journey from prehistory to the present day. It is my goal to ensure that every pony who reads this history takes in its lessons, and never allows our story to be lost.

I hope you find it compelling. -Auriga
