Knightstar’s back! Along with her return, the Wondercolts have expanded, bringing in Meigibu rather than let them fall off the front line, and they secured the most awesome guild headquarters for the Wondercolts 2.0. I had a lot of fun redesigning Thorn Island, which is named after a real coastal artillery fort in Wales (Thorne Island). The castle is inspired by Edinburgh Castle in Scotland (which I have visited), in particular the way the castle’s center rises to a plateau above the front gate and the middle gatehouse they walk under, as well as Sterling Castle (gatehouse). We will get to the Headquarters at the end with some pictures and further details. In between, the usual information, followed by some more guild details concerning the merger. Then character info and the headquarters.

Bladescape (Sunset Shimmer): Level 85 — 18120 HP
-----
Harmonic Salvation is a large two-handed European sword made of the rare alloy Black Rune. The sword is the same color as the ingot was, gunmetal blue. The ricasso stops at triangular flukes that protrude from the blade, about ten inches total. Forward of the flukes, the edge can be seen as a lighter blue, evidence of the high concentration of runite in the edge. In contrast, an almost black fuller runs from the flukes up three quarters of the blade, exhibiting the colors of the obsidianite. The crossguard isn't squared; having a straight quillon that flares to a point, but above and below it flares with a rolling “w”, framing the center jewel. The whole guard is a lighter blue, like the edge of the sword. The handle is in two segments, with the lower half slightly smaller and much darker, showing off the obsidianite in the alloy. Its pommel is the same blue shade as the alloy, slowly expanding in diameter before quickly collapsing to a soft point. The blade has been hardened, preventing enhancements from failing, expanding its enhancement slots to 100, and restoring the failed attempts.
Bajutsu is a plain sword with brown leather and steel fastenings, barely qualifying as a two-handed longsword. Made from a lightweight (speed) alloy, it is very quick. It loves to bite and cut without Sword Skills. The sword was made for a quest, to use on horseback against a mounted knight. Bladescape plans to continue to have it with her when she rides.
The dagannoth plates made by Ashley are predominantly navy blue, with some gold worked in. The hide was tanned and hardened into plates and given a coating to make it shine. The leather armor appears to be heavy metal armor, not leather. The armor is complete with besagews at the shoulders to protect Bladescape’s armpits. The pauldrons are gold, as are her couter, tassets, and poleyns. The fingered gauntlets have a strip of gold at the first joint and the flared opening. The navy-blue greaves are open for her gold leather boots. Bladescape’s leggings and shirt are gold showing through the few gaps of her armor. Her velvet cloak is blue, fringed in gold, and seamlessly has an extra-large gold horse head dyed onto the center. The cloak connects to the besagews at her shoulders and was designed to function with her sword on her back, with the cloak covering the sheath.
Silver Sagacity Circlet: A silver circlet with a blue gemstone that matches Sunset’s eyes in the center. The silver is expertly woven into a beautiful pattern that is both delicate and strong.
Along with her equipment, Bladescape owns Plaudit, a Palomino gelding. Standing at fifteen hands tall
(about 5 feet at the withers), he is alert and perky with a trailing diamond mark on his muzzle. The well-built stallion is a charger, perfect for intense bursts of charging and military action, but less suited for hard riding over many hours. Boots is taking care of him for Bladescape.
Natora (Ota Natsuki): Level 81 — 15860 HP
-----
Blazefury Lance is a black shafted jūmonji yari spear with a maroon head almost a foot long, sharpened squared cross-blades, and a metal collar with a tassel of gold ribbons. All enhancement slots have been used, making it an end product.
Her splint armor is on top of a gold, long sleeve shirt and leggings. The splints are a blue steeled alloy riveted onto the blue leather with brass. Her chest is protected with a corset, and gorget and below it is a skirt of leather strips often reinforced with riveted metal squares. The corset and skirt are paired with full pauldrons, rerebraces and vambraces to give her arms full coverage. Above her greaves and poleyns are cuisses. Gold leather boots and gloves protect her extremities. On her head is a sleek and feminized Barbute helmet with a visor, allowing for her hair to easily flow out the back. The helmet is profiled to look like a horse head. To hold her pouches, she wears a double shoulder belt crossing over her chest to keep everything in place while performing acrobatic maneuvers. The Medallion of the Two Kings’ Breastplate is integrated into the right shoulder strap, allowing it to be easily flipped to choose the buff.
Malus (Applejack): Level 81 — 22322 HP
-----
Earthwarden is an adamant war hammer with a circular head with four points and a pick on the rear. The grip is wrapped in black.
The Plate of Veracity is an elegant heavy metal armor torso piece: specifically a breastplate, backplate, tassets, and pauldrons. The steel is beautifully etched. The center of the breastplate is a tree, the NIST Gaithersburg tree, an immediate descendant of the apple tree from Isaac Newton's home. The pauldrons, tassets, and backplate are decorated with apple leaves and blossoms.
Diemond was able to match the color and design of the Plate of Veracity for all of the other pieces, but she could not do the etching. For her helmet, she wears a close helm in the Maximilian style.
Thunderborne (Rainbow Dash): Level 81 — 14145 HP
-----
Dragon’s Brand was the LAB from the King Black Dragon. The blade is blaze-orange while the grip and guard are black, as well as the sheath. The dish-hilt rapier’s guards are dragon wings and the handle and pommel are styled as the dragon’s tail.
Thunderborne wears a splint armor dress. The dress itself has a houndstooth woven leather base, sleeveless, woven out of three different shades of blue, plus one cord of gold. The blued splint plates are riveted on and smaller to afford her more flexibility during acrobatic maneuvers. The dress’ skirt is without metal and uses knife pleats to allow for a wide range of motion and a front panel for a smooth look, just like a Scottish kilt. Underneath it is worn a blue long-sleeve shirt and leggings. She wears splint arm harnesses on each arm – a blued splint rerebrace, articulated elbow piece, and a golden splint bracer – her gloves are simple blue leather with gold splints on the back. Her knee-high leather boots are dyed gold and have golden splints vertically riveted on them to cover the shins, with plates covering the toes and heels. The boots are laced on using blue leather cord. Each lace hook is a lightning bolt. The toe of the boots has a horseshoe stamped on them and she has gold Prince of Wales spurs with blue straps holding it onto the boot. Instead of a Sam Browne belt, she had a belt with two shoulder straps that cross like an X over her chest to keep everything in place while performing acrobatic maneuvers. She no longer wears a helmet, instead her rainbow hair is tied into a ponytail with a gold ribbon that has a surprising amount of defense.
Konpeito (Pinkie Pie): Level 81 — 16300 HP
-----
Honor’s call is a double headed axe with no curve in the bits. The axe head is in the shape of an “H” and made from Adamite, giving it a smoky green color. The shaft is wrapped in woven leather cording of five blue cords, a gold cord, and a red cord. No more enhancements can be done. 32 were successful.
Konpeito’s new “Viking look” is a stamped leather breastplate with a metal scaled gorget and scaled faulds and tassets, which are more skirt-like as they go almost to her knees. The layered breastplate is dyed navy blue and stamped with Viking knots and symbols. Every rivet, buckle, and lace is gold while the scales are blued steel. Konpeito is still sleeveless to show off her Viking tattoos, which fully cover her arms and shoulders. Her sleeveless shirt and trousers are blue. Her boots are plain, dyed blue, and she wears greaves and bracers both in the splint style with more spacing between each splint and connected by leather straps, not a leather base, which are blue. Her gold belt is simply tied around her waist and holds her pouches. Gjallarhorn is on a strap that crosses over her body, not in a pouch.
Konpeito’s curls are half tamed. She wears them “shield maiden style.” On both sides of her head are four tiers of Dutch braids. The pompadour top has three asymmetric accent braids and is tied into a ponytail with the first tier of braids. The other six braids are also tied together into a lower ponytail. Everything past each ponytail tie is unbraided and raw. Konpeito also wears a kransen that goes in between the ponytails but lies flat over her forehead. It is woven from three blue and one gold chords.
Diemond (Rarity): Level 81 — 18006 HP
-----
Dawnlight is a steel mace with eight radiating flanges. All of the points of the flanges are at the top, putting the striking point at the very end of the mace.
Diemond’s shield by Rendil is a tower shield with a blue face, gold horse head on it, and trimmed in brass.
She wears Maximilian style full plate armor with a close helm with a blue finish. A gold belt with pouches and a ring to slip her mace is around her waist. Attached to the front of her pauldrons is the cloak, dyed blue, trimmed in gold, and with their gold horse head in the center. It goes down to her calves.
Doombunny (Fluttershy): Level 83 — 15550 HP
-----
On her left hip is her regular dirk, Shadow Song, in a blue sheath. Her pink qama dagger, Mourning Protector, is mounted at the small of her black for a right-hand draw. Off her right hip is her poisoned DOT crusader dagger, Endbringer, in a gold sheath. All three knives are end products. Her focus has been on the Charms of the Radius, not on her weapons.
Her two throwing knife holsters are one piece, all blue, sharing a belt under her dress and with the holsters dropping down to above her knees. Each holster holds four knives on the face, with five rows behind. The regular throwing knives are on her right thigh and her heavier kunai are on her left.
Her knee-length cloak is dark blue and has pockets hidden inside to securely store her poisons and potions. It also has wide, reinforced and strengthened shoulders for Colorra. Colorra's shoulder pads are a separate piece of blue leather which is braced by a shoulder holster design that pulls and anchors it in the back between her shoulder blades. Underneath the coat she wears a yellow Silverthread dress and blue silverthread leggings. A thin blue belt keeps her skirt in place and also mounts her beast tamer’s charms and weapons. Doombunny also wears a blue headband to keep her hair in place when she isn't using the hood, blue boots that only cover up to her ankles, and blue Silverthread fingerless gloves to finish off the ensemble.
The coat covers everything on her unless she specifically sweeps it back to stay open. When open, the beast tamer necklace is on full display. Her earrings are also on full display when the hood is down.
Kiefer: Level 80 — 15005 HP
-----

He also uses a blue Sam Browne belt with a gold pass-through buckle of a horse head set in a circle. The belt has a sword frog directly on it to properly align his katana.
Soryuto: Level 78 — 14000 HP
-----

The splints are a blue steeled alloy riveted onto the blue leather with brass.

12119454
Thank you. The final design took 2 years. Just a few months ago we moves the armory around and redesigned it.
12119473
I see
12119482
Maybe I will post a blog soon with all of the various generations of the island. lol.
Is Listening different from Listen? I know Doom got Listen early to hear all the background of Aincrad.
The following is just something that popped into my mind while thinking about hte wondercolts new home.
Sunset Shimmer sat in her hospital bed lost in thought. It had been about two weeks since the end of SAO and she had to admit a part of her missed it and she was pretty sure the others did too on some level. One of biggest things she and her extended familly would miss was their Island home, the castle that had become quite dear to them all. They had even hosted more then a few events there. Sunset would suddenly be snaped out of her thoughts by a voice "A bit for your thoughts?"
Sunser blinked and looked up "Oh Princess Celestia what brings you here?"
Princess Celestia smiled "I just wanted to visit you more often. And you look like you have a lot on your mind"
Sunset nodded "You could say that I miss my other home somewhat, and I know my friends and family do too" she paused a moment seeing a confused look on the princesses face. "Do me a favor, open the closet door and get me my NERVGEAR please"
Celestia was curious but did as she was asked and retrieved the item and handed it to Sunset who taking a laptop off the table next to her bed plughed the NERVEGEAR into it. A few clicks later and Sunset had a huge photo gallery open, some photos were of a massive castle and its grounds with people around it, some were of photos of people inside a huge dining hall, there were plain random pictures of various people in armors, and there was even a group photo that had well over 30 or so people in it with Sunset front and center in a kimono. "Not all times in Aincrad were all doom and gloom. These photos i managed to save were from some of the better times and are very important to me. the group you see in that last picture I consider to be family and I was their leader and I was honored to be so. It took quite awhile to make that castle our home, but it was work well worth it to have a place to call our own"
Celestia couldnt help but smile at how fondly Sunset spoke of her friends who had become a familly to her, and that smile persisted as she browsed various other imaegs Sunset had saved. Thinking on it a bit she would not be surprised if Sunset ever returned to Equestria even for a visit, that she found herself with wings
12119677
No it is not. I'm not sure what glitch happened. I copied it over, so I could keep the M dash, but obviously I didn't rectify it. It should be trap dismantling. Thanks!
12119818
I'm glad you are thinking ahead! Yes, photos will be important! At least for some element. Probably nothing critical, but a key event. We do know the NerveGear was set up to offload photos/screenshots.
It certainly will not all be bad. There are going to be some absolutely fantastic things to come! I am having fun writing all of the amazing things. Some very terrible ones too, but such is life. Aincrad is not really unique from IRL in that regard.
12120596
hehe I see! I figured there had to be someway they could take "screenshots" of their time in Aincrad, and my head cannon (thanks for Mystic knight online) is that they are saved on the NERVGEAR and can be taken from it and transferd elsewhere like to a phone, email or pc. :) As to Celestia being there I figure the MOMENT she hears Sunset is outta Aincrad she would find someway to visit her in the hospital off and on.
And now a question just for fun! What kinda ponys do you think the rest of the Wondercolts would be? Heh I figure youd have a few Earth Pons, a few Unicorns and a few Pegasi. hehe who knows some might be entirely other races like Kirin
12120634
They have been referenced and more use will certainly happen, but that is what one of the types of recording crystals are for. The other is voice messages. The one for pictures get used, will eventually be able to do video (because why not) and Konpeito is great at snapping them incognito in the middle of things, because that is totally Pinkie Pie. Lol.
As to the pony races, I have thought about it. Played around with a potential epilogue. It's hard, because they all have to go to Canterlot and also be told about the mirror/portal, believe them, and it is kind of an out there story. And very personal. It has to be done right.
Does Celestia have a passport? I don't know. By now she could have gotten one and easily visited.
12120750
what if Princess Twilight figured out how to make a new portal with some help from others such as Sunburst and Starlight?
12120925
She is a princess for a reason. The other knows even more about magic than Twilight and Glimmer can do more than Twilight.
Maybe it can be done. We don't know how Starswirl (almost wrote Merlin) made it in the first place, only that he did. But the three of them are a great team to do so. But also why? What would be the point?
12121232
I figure if they had a portal they connected to Japan it would make Celestia visiting Sunset in the hospital more plausable. I also wrote the previous post while half asleep and half awake XD so it sounded like a good idea hehe
12121261
Yeah. It would. I'm not sure how they would figure out how to tie to a location in Japan. Starswirl didn't even appear to know where it ended up, just that there was another side. Also, Forgotten Memories never happened in this Alt-U. It was scheduled for after their return. Sunset hasn't seen Princess Celestia or apologized, formerly, to her.
12121988
When it came to that. I figured if Princess Twilight went to visit sunset at CHS and was told of what was going on she would in turn inform Celestia what happened who would in turn REALLY want to see Sunset and then frequently visit her in the hospital even if only to sit with her for awhile. Admittedly a location for a new portal would be tricky lol
12122004
You did think that through. I enjoy poking to see where you and others are going. Lol. The next question is, assuming they do get a second portal established to Japan and Celestia goes through, what happens? Because we know they come out speaking English in Canterlot and not knowing other languages.
12122010
And given how old Celestia is and having to manage so many ponies I will wager shes collected quite a few languages, some that will have analouges in the human world.
I figured Neighponese wouldnt be too far removed from Japanese
12122014
Do we ever see a canon language other than the root, old ponish? A thousand years passed when the Crystal Empire reappears and the ones who disappeared never had an issue communicating with anypony.
They speak with kirins, dragons, sea ponies/hippogriffs, griffons, yaks, other pony kingdoms outside Equestria, a bunch of weird fish people/things, a cat, pirate birds, and even whatever the Storm King is. The Zebras talk differently, but the same language. Just rhymes, right?
12122191
Logically speaking there probably were other languages, but the reason they were not used in the show is because the target audience of the show were kids who probably only spoke one language. Heh of course when all else fails, blame magic for evercreature understanding each other lol
12122412
Magic is convenient. lol.
12122507
indeed!
12122191
There's canonically a yak language separate from Ponish (as seen in Feats of Friendship). The only non-yak who we have ever seen speak Yak is Silverstream, and based on Yona's reaction, she really sucks at it (we don't see any actual yaks speak Yak though. All we get is Silverstream)
Breezies also have their own language that's reminiscent of North Germanic languages, particularly Norwegian and Swedish
Zebras actually talk the same way as ponies, Zecora is an outlier. Other zebras, such as Marini and Prince Abraxas, don't rhyme every sentence, nor do the other creatures who live in their homeland, the kelpies and abadas. Although I do seem to remember Zecora chanting in Swahili at some point
12148088
I don't recall Silverstream trying to speak Yak. lol. Good info to know. I expected other languages, but it isn't easy to do for the target age of the show.
12148122
Silverstream attempting to speak Yak is comic exclusive. As I mentioned, it's from Feats of Friendship (the same place as my pfp, actually), a comic miniseries written by Ian Flynn
12148972
Ah! That makes sense. I have never read any of the comics.
