I kinda regret reading so far ahead now if I'm honest, though the suspense was killing me, at the the very least I had something to look forward to
Horchatería, is exclusively from spain, more specifically, from Valencia, so i can say the batponies languague is based on the spanish from Spain, and not from central or South América, the name of that problematic guard was Valencia, that was a hint then; by the way the additional simbols that are present in spanish are "á é í ó ú, ñ, ü" you wrote the name Valencia with an inverted symbol è, that is not spanish, that is french, Valencia in spanish does not have accentuation.
“So your highness, where would you like to construct the new capital?”
“I’d like it to hang off the side of a mountain.”
“That will certainly be...an impressive location. There are several mountain ranges-“
“I want it to be on that one.”
“Princess that’s a volcano.”
“And?”
Great chapter Time to test Anons metal and meat. Beat him into shape, training after training season.
I wonder if and when Anon will ask why some ponys think Lunas authority is worth less than the paper its written on...
10601051
Well, if it's an extinct volcano...

It used to be active till Tia got the bright idea to bake Equestria's largest Ice cream cake. Nobody told her that you put the ice cream in after. That much mass of Ice cream chilled the volcano to the point it went extinct...
10601051
10601085
Or...
Volcano: RAAAHRGGLRGRLLL!
Celestia: SUBMIT, MOUNTAIN!
Volcano: Yes'm. I be good.
10601045
Good eye! I was going to say I can read and speak some Spanish but it didn’t look like it was from my region. Horchatarias are not as plentiful down here as taquerias are. 😆
Mmmm...horchata...
10601085
I’m pretty confident it is. Even ponies aren’t dense enough to build their capital city on a still-active volcano on purpose, and Canterlot has stood long enough that they would have noticed by now if it still was even without doing the extensive digging past generations seem to have engaged in here. (I’m reasonably sure the batponies didn’t just arrive out of nowhere and get all the work of carving their Rookery out of the present natural caves done within mere months merely by breaking out the shovels, so at least a fair bit of the excavation work was probably originally done by Equestrians,)
Translating spaniard here again! :D
Big Sale.
Blacksmith.
Hmm, this needs a bit of explaining.
A Horchatería is a place that makes and sells 'horchata'.
Horchata is a drink made out of tigernut. Kinda looks like milk, is served cold, and very popular on summer.
Traditionally from the region of Valencia, spanish east coast.
And for those curious, it's non alcoholic
10601355
FWIW, horchata (or a version of it, anyway) isn't unknown here in the States either. I've been to a couple different Mexican places that offer it. Yummy!
Whats evenmore impressive than an active volcano,is that Victorean engineers had access to engineering brick which needed 1600 C just to be fired. Blast furnaces run at 1200C and lava is usually between 850 and 1000C?
Foundations of the Empire State Building are made of this brick.
Ebonshield, Anon just wanted a place to spar. Seriously, just an open field or something...
10601359
Oh, i didn't know that.
And now i do.
Thanx, kind stranger
Correction: Canterlot Mountain is a Volcano. Just because it is currently dormant, and or inactive doesn't make it any less of a volcano. Volcanoes sit on natural Earth Ley Lines, Magic Potential available for use is very High.
With the right designs they would also save a lot on heating in general.
It would also explain the Crystal Caverns beneath the Castle.
10601412
Really? How do you explain the crystal?
So Canterlot Mountain is like Solstheim from The Elder Scrolls.
Awesome.
Nice
10601355
I'm thinking "Donut Joe", but horchata batpony flavor lol
On today's episode: we walk through the market.
On the next episode of Everyday Life With Guardsmares Z:
Can Anonymous haggle the merchant down from 4 bits per mango to 3? Or will he have to pay the full price? Find out in tomorrow's episode "Anonymous haggles the merchant down from 4 bits per mango to 3"!

Stop spoiling the plot, you're ruining everything!
10601438
Mineral Crystals are formed in a high heat, high pressure environment. The Crystal caverns are essentially giant geodes.
And yes, basaltic formations like this really do tend to end up concave on top from erosion.

10601599
cool
I think this was a terrible choice of venue.
10601550
Gee, I wonder if he haggles them down or not. Guess I'll gave to watch the next episode!
10601736
It was a trick. It's actually a three-episode mini-arc in the greater Shopping season arc.
I feel it took forever and get lost while you're at it
Basaltic I never heard only in the game Skyrim Solstheim
I always found the intricacies and casual lives of other cultures interesting; especially their history. One can tell a lot about a people by their history.
History, after all, is just another story to see.
10601754
Is one of those a training montage where Ebonshield teaches Anon the tricks to barter?
10601935
Nah. You just see little three and five second snippets of their horrified faces from time to time as they train in Discord's pocket dimension while he laughs at their infinitely looping misfortune.
10600169
Work the problems inside there playground? Until the problems are resolved they need to establish themself higher on the picking order outside the rockery and build themself up inside it.

Deary me, my precious feelings are oh so distraught, however will I atone for this grand shame.
10602703
Idk, maybe learn when to quit while you’re ahead, or I suppose in your case, not start in the first place
10601045
In Valencian (Catalan), it does, and this is the official name of the city in Spain though in non-Catalan/Valencian Spanish it is spelled without the accent. See for example http://www.valencia.es
10604827
Wait, they speaking Valenciano? Huh, it doesnt look like it though, valenciano is noticably diferent from spanish, extremly noticable: for instance catalan/valenciano has no "ñ" from what Im aware of, they use "ny" instead, or words like "universidad" is "universitad" or at least thats how I hear them speak, hell even words like the tree "el arbol" in spanish is "l'arbre" in valenciano. I guess my point is I read spanish in Ebonshield's conversations rather than anything else.
In another note I love the rookery description, the change in textures and feels inside it when going from one part of it to the other is very nice :3 awesome work
10601362
Are you sure you don't mean survivable temperatures?
No sh** Sherlock... xD
She shure would win, and the winner dictate the story
I bat *chuckle* she is an assasin... ugh, my joke was so bat i need another bat in brainbleach...
He he he...
Later...
We will See...
What a jurney...
Noticing two things which are very prevalent throughout the story thus far:
1. There is next to no discipline or respect within the military, no matter which military it is. Everybody just does their own thing for the most part, ignoring most rules and regulations, barring a few exceptions like the Equestrian checkpoint.
2. Everything is organized upon the mentality of 'Might Makes Right'.
That bugs me because it is intuitively opposed to any form of Harmony, and it shows in the story.
10767509
The Batponies are a very different branch from the Equestrians; their entire society was built around the coming return of Nightmare Moon. Harmony is not a big part of their vocabulary.
10605469
It may be a residual from any spanish education had in school, and how varied the "dialects" of spanish can be. (For example, some groups deny that basque is anyting other than just emphasised spanish, despite clear differences) I learnt under a catalan for a couple years, then a Madrid native. The spanish I learnt from the Catalan was repeatedly insulted by the Madrid native, even if it was correct. I stopped learning spansih after that.
*The anecdote just seemed relevant, don't take too much from it.
10769974
I feel ya. I've taken three Spanish classes in my life...
One was taught by a Mexican, another by an Argentine, and the third by a Spaniard.
They might as well be different languages. It's like a Scotsman and an Australian trying to have a civil discussion. It just don't work.
Mount Canterhorn a volcano?
The Living Sun would build a city on one, figures.
Got to love the lore and worldbuilding ♡

Argentino acá ¿Cuántas malas palabras aprendiste?
Let me guess, they worship not Luna, but Nightmare Moon.
