Full Lance is a knight from my low fantasy version of the high medieval Holy Roman Empire. He's a pretty chill dude, with absolutely no baggage! His goal is to be everyone's friend. Ever wonder what a knight's job is like? Me too!
By the way, did you ever hear about the time three fillies and an element of harmony disappeared in the Everfree forest...?
It's the late medieval period: The Prince Electorates of the Holy Roman Empire are coming into their own, the Hanseatic Legue is building, and cities have formed. Guilds have been established, feuds continued, monarchies tumbled, and ponies plagued! Somewhere within all this, in the Duchy of Belle, an Equestrian society is percolating into the ecclesiastic and economic sects of German feudalism. Oh by the way, did you know that Alchemy is a thing now?
On the outskirts of the The Duchy of Belle, Full Lance is engaging in the simple life: managing his land, serving his military dues, raising a squire and getting roped back into the complicated net of knighthood.
This fic aims to be a ponified Alt History/Historical Fiction, revolving around the stunningly daunting late-medieval period. It has a lot of anachronisms, but they're integrated and fleshed out within the historical context as kind of a "what if" scenario.
I appreciate all criticism whether it be constructive, deconstructive or something more colorful.
I have no idea what I'm doing and am sleep deprived.
Shouldn't you ponify Roman?

Over the course of writing the early chapters, the actually extent of the ponification shifted. So to clarify, my fic happens in 1300s Europe, but with ponies. And mysteriously, some of the ponies have historical names, while others have more equestrian pony names.
Geographically, it happens in The Holy Roman Empire which is pretty much where Germany is now.
So, basically, "Roman" is supposed to be non-ponified.
Edit:
By the way, if you have any speculations regarding this sort of thing, now would be a good time to comment.
