Glad that you have updated last month.

And I have the feeling with the likes of the Mane Five, Spike, Celestia/Luna, Cadence/Shining Armor/Flurry Heart, Discord, Trixie, Tempest Shadow, Young Six, The other Pillars, possibly Sunset.

And even the other non-pony leaders ( Ember/Torch, Thorax/Pharynx, Novo/Skystar/Seaspray, Rutherford, Chief Thunderhooves/Little Strongheart, etc.. ) will all be shocked and tramitazed of Stirropean Ponies BLOODY HISTORY, and a possible one-sided war against them all.

*The Picture of Starlight Glimmer*

Where is her horn? 😂

The next chapter will will unveil a bit of a shocking event. I give you a hint you know how language can be a Barrier between people and culture not. You recall in real history how real life Vikings during the dark ages actually made it to north America and fought some battles against the native Americans. Will what happens if something akin were to happen to Equestria in a first contact with this story Viking ponies?

Not good.

I know I noticed that myself.

Don't worry their won't be a war with Stirrope but their well be the risk. And yes each leader will have their part in this story in some way.

Also Equestria ponies due t not exactly having an actual military that is suited to war would stand no chance against the Stirropean kingdoms for a prolong period though Equestria has the advantage of magic and the element's of harmony and its famed hero's and leaders. But its own military would need time to match the veteran armies of Stirrope as the Stirrope kingdoms have millions of ponies and outnumber Equestria in terms of population and military strength.

The ones who be shocked by the Stirropean ponies wars and bloody history would definitely be the main 6, Celestia Luna, the young six, basically anyone is not used to the horrors and reality of medieval warfare and destruction and death that the medieval pony armies of Stirrope can commit. Their also the fact of the Language barrier Stirropean ponies speak multiple languages in their kingdoms some of which have familiar accents spoken in Equestria.

Also some of the mlp characters would be concern of the Stirropean haterd towards non ponies. Stirropean ponies look down on non pony races and have no issue of killing or enslaving them. The Stirropean ponies do not hold racist thoughts towards other pony races as their all mixed race among the kingdoms, but they definitely don't like non ponies and monsters.

11089498
Oh yeah since the Stirropean ponies eat meat what would mlp characters and Equestrians ponies and non ponies think of that. Because the Stirropean ponies eat meat and have done so for many centuries.

11090461

Griffons, and Dragons probably eat meat. Plus, Fluttershy's animals will obviously have carnivores, and omnivores. So, Non-Ponies, and even Fluttershy WON'T make a big deal out of it. I mean, Stirropean's culture and bloody history obviously changed ther diets, and they themselves shouldn't make a big deal about it.

Sure, the Equestrian Ponies would be a little disturbed to hear that ponies eat meat. BUT, considering that their own non-pony allies are also carnivores/omnivores themselves.

Plus, Fluttershy has seen the "Circle of Life" with Carnivore/Omnivore animals in the wild. So again, the stirropean ponies eating meat shouldn't be that big of a deal at first ( Unless, they eat other ponies or even other non-pony species and other monsters like cannibalism, than that's a BIG problem!!! But, I highly doubt that, considering that this is based in Medieval Europe. )

But, what they should be MORE CONCERNED about, is that these stirropean ponies are super specist/racist/xenophobic against their own non-pony kinds ( Even MORE zeadlous, and and terrible than the Equestrian Ponies themselves. ).

Of course, the Equestrian Ponies probably mentioned to the other non-pony leaders that they do feel regret that they were also like that to the other non-ponies, and even themselves in the far past ( Especially someone like Neighsay!!!!! ). But, they are better beings now.

But now, they will also be shocked that these stirropean ponies are taking a whole new low, and be terrified that these stirropean's are also after them ( The Equestrian Ponies I mean. ) as well.

I WON'T be surprised that once everybody/everypony learns that it is technically Starlight's FAULT in the first place that created the bloody stirropean ponies culture. They are so are gonna start pointing fingers at her, and want her to be severely punished for f******* up the time stream!

And also, I bet that they might don't like that both Celestia's/Luna's own mother has something to do with the stirropean's own overzealous religion culture, and one of the main reasons for their "holy crusade" to PURGE every non-pony/monsters.

Plus, isn't it iconic that even though the stirropean ponies still don't hate their own subspecies, and all work together. ( Even though they still hate non-ponies, while killing the monsters is rather justified. ). They STILL fight each other for other things for war.

It's just like Starswirl said.

Also Equestria ponies due t not exactly having an actual military that is suited to war would stand no chance against the Stirropean kingdoms for a prolong period though Equestria has the advantage of magic and the element's of harmony and its famed hero's and leaders. But its own military would need time to match the veteran armies of Stirrope as the Stirrope kingdoms have millions of ponies and outnumber Equestria in terms of population and military strength.

"Need time"? The Equestrian's need a FRICKIN DECADE ( At best ) to at least have a slight chance to "improve" their own military and fighting abilities.

I mean, the Stirropean's have a 2,000 years of being war veterans!!!! While Equestria has a 1,000 years of peace!!!

So, I doubt that the Equestrian's can top that. Although, the other non-ponies have have a slight advantage in fighting power, and some of them still have a "decent" military.

But, considering that the Stirropean's are also good at killing/massacre/genociding non-ponies like dragons, griffons, changelings, yaks, buffalos, diamond dogs, birds, cats, minotaurs, etc...

They will also might not stand a chance either?

But do Zebras, Saddle Arabia horses, Hippogliffs/Sea Ponies, Bat Ponies, and Kirins count!

Oh yeah, considering the two millennias. Why ISN'T nobody/nopony learned about gunpowder and invented antique firearms/guns from the 1500's-1850's or even a gatling gun from the old wild west of 1860-1899???!!!

Maybe even the first "gun" ever made from the chinese in the 10th century?

They still use bows and arrows, crossbows, and old cannons??

11090921
No Stirropean ponies don't eat other ponies.
Yes many Equestrians will find out Starlight is responsible for the time alter which was out of her control. Only because Twilight will be the one to announce I at first most what understand but once my little surprise happens in the next chapter many will want to blame starlight Glimmer for it.

Stirrope is not decay my after Equestria but of they learn they all survived or find out their Equestrian Stirropean ponies who recall the Equestrians may indeed want to kill PR enslave or gang press them into assimilation via forcing ponies in Equestria to swear loyalty to the Stirropean lords and Ladies.

Fun fact weather Laura is a God or not she was their during war before the founding so it did have an effect on her. As to what happen to her after her daughters had grown up enough she left across the sea trailing the Stirropean that tribes, she had also been their for the Stirropean tribes helping them escape she stayed behind, to deal with the Equestrian tribes we weather that was to help them or not is a mystery. But she did give hope to the Stirropean tribes. Although the!m fleeing across sea probability was not the answer. As to what happen to her is a mystery butbshe did arrive in Stirrope and played an important role the golden age of Stirropean peace. Though Laura Faust failed to of she even tried to prevent the first 1000 years of Stirrope's genocidal war against non ponies. (Maybe Laura Faust is or was just as radical and racist as the rest of Stirrope pony populations are and believes in the cause if she is just as bad as the Stirropean ponies)

The Equestrians would need 10 years to actually stand even a chance as the Stirropean pony armies are veterans of the many wars fought in IStirrope, non ponies have an advantage being used to conflict and a number of armies, of course the Stirropeans are good killing the list of non ponies you listed. All the same Equestria cannot top the military strength of Stirrope kingdoms though they could prolong a war as long as possible.
Zebras, Saddie Horses, sea ponies, Breezies, bat ponies, Kirins, Crystal ponies, and many more pony races count as other ponies because these pony races were part of the migration to Stirrope during the Great Freeze event, where three tribes hated the other pony races the Stirropean ponies do not as they believe in the in the unification of all pony tribes where Equestria founding only accepted the three original tribes for a while. And if your wondering how the pony races like the Breezies evolved in Stirrope years of having tf adapt in Stirrope especially with the Viking ponies made learn how their small bodies become bigger though magic. The original Breezie culture in Stirrope is gone now and adapted with many of the Stirropean Breezies either becoming Vikings in the north lands of Stirrope or civilized like the rest of the pony kingdoms. Like the rest of the pony races not part of the original tribes besides Alicorns evolved and adapted to Stirropean tribes way of life and end up adapting and breeding with the Stirropean ponies to such an extant its not long before you get Zerbra Alicorns and Breezie Alicorns.

As to why the Stirropean kingdoms do not have the rifles and cannons yet is partly due to the first 1000 years of the golden partly stumbing that. Aas they had go start their civilization from the ground up. Now by this story time, Stirrope is already creating early cannons and firearm rifles and artillery but their use to the traditional warfare, and medieval feudal system is still what guides the kingdom's of Stirrope as the lords the rule the peasants, and middle class free ponies toil and serve in the armies nothing has changed for a 1000 years black powered weapons are starting to see more use,but it would take a few years of peace for the kingdoms of Stirrope to start using them more seriously as their military production and training revolves around the professional armies of ponies.

(Maybe Laura Faust is or was just as radical and racist as the rest of Stirrope pony populations are and believes in the cause if she is just as bad as the Stirropean ponies)

This is bothering me for some time, because that makes no damned frickin sense. Because then, both Celestia and Luna will know about that, and I DOUBT they will let or agree with their mother's views.

And THEN, they will probably knew about the Stirropeans too. Due to their mother's "connection".

11139934
that's if she even was, and how she was she changed and tried to make things right. It's complicated without to much spoiling but lets just say Laura family helped change her views in how she ruled.

Yes in some way Celestia and Luna know of Stirrope but not its ponies. As their mother was very quite on the matter. Again I want to expand on how the one who helped create Equestria was not as she seemed. Much how the hearth warming event was not peaceful in this story timeline.

And yes Celestia and Luna would not agree on their mother view when she and if she was radical.
Also by the time of the story Laura Faust where ever she is now is no longer as radical as she was, but she has to live with the actions she committed and allowed to happen. In this story the reason she I not around is because she doesn't not feel she is suited to lead Equestria or Stirrope not with how she handled both kingdoms of ponies. For one Laura allowed the Stirropean ponies as far as can be seen to worship her. as what she did in Equestria early history is unknown. Though due to how traumatic she was due to how the 3 original tribes fought a bloody war that almost wiped them out. It is possible that Laura ruled Equestria for a short time and it could have been tyrannical on the first generation due to that generation action but eased up with the passing generations.

11140590

I bet she feels extreme regret/guilt right now.

At least she realized that earlier, unlike the tragic Emperor of Mankind in the Warhammer 40K. I mean, LOOK at what happened to the Imperium of Man right now, all thanks to the Horus Heresy. And whose fault is that on not stopping it early?!

As for Celestia and Luna? If they knew about Stirrope? They should have some explaining to do, before they get blamed like Starlight as well.

11140811
Yes Laura when she stayed behind she would after taking power overtime, would semi punish the ponies of Equestria first generation in its new lands, but with new generations she began to regret her actions. But they would be buried especially when Celestia and Luna come to the throne.

Celestia and Luna do not know about Stirrope to the extent Laura dose because if they did they would have tried to establish relations but its a good thing they do not know because if they tried they would have been invaded much sooner. Laura only told her daughters half truths of Stirrope she did not want her daughters trying to get involved in matters they did not need to be part of, Laura during her reign would travel in secret to and from Stirrope, then one day she left to the east she goes to join her kin in the east the lands of Stirrope. Her daughters were told by their mother that her time has come toU leave as she has ruled Equestria long enough secretly unknown to Celestia and Luna because Laura dose not believe she should rule the Equestrians anymore for persona reasons and because she aimed to go to Stirrope and let Equestria in her daughters cable hands.

And yes their a high possibility Celestia and Luna will be blamed as well whole they have nothing to do with the Stirropean ponies they seekly are god like beings that know everything and many will believe they new of Stirrope and they did nothing,

11140819

Well hopefully, Celestia/Luna will think their words carefully, they really weren't at fault here. ( Unlike Starlight. )

So Faust is still alive, but in self exile? Like Yona from Star Wars?

Surprised that you didn't say anything about my WH40K reference?

11140854
Laura Guard is alive. She is not exactly in exile she has ascended to Godhood. She is however not in contact with Stirrope ponies personally after the start of their last one thousand years of war this is for various reasons one of which is she dose not want to force Stirrope to stop fighting as she learned from her early mistakes. Second because she is worship by the Stirrope ponies she has to allow them to decide to do that.

Also the difference between this story and the 40k is unlike the god Emperor Laura is not crippled or out of action she just chosen to not be too involved as her actions in Equestria lost past were tyrannical and she rather not repeat them. Also Laura has a sister who will be partly reviewed in the next chapter.

Hiatus?

11418413
Not exactly I didn't get a chance to say it but kinda in the middle of moving my family had been in progress of moving last few months so I had to chance to resume writing don't worry this is not forgotten only personal life can slow my writing down .

Are you still here?

11502019
Yes sorry been busy with work and betting settled with my family during the move.

This story is very inactive for quite some time. :/

P.S. Maybe you could eventually make a second story of a reboot/remake for the Equestria Divided storyline. Because, I don't want that cool MLP fan concept to die out completely.
