Characters in "The Alicorn Book" / Alicornite ref. + unref.

Author's Note:

The chapter is NOT part of the actual story plot and is therefore completely optional. Here I have listed all the characters that have appeared in my story so far. I had seen it once in another lengthy story and it helped me immensely to understand the plot.


I will update it further with each new relevant pony/creature that is at least mentioned explicit by name.

As it will list eventually ALL my characters used, this chapter will have spoilers for the rest of the story.

Alicornite ref. / unref. + special Materials only Equus has

Alicornite: Normally Alicornite is a very rare metal-like Element found underground in Equestria and the surrounding Lands. [However, a metal detector does not recognize the material]. Most Creatures don't even care about it because of the hardness even in its raw and unrefined state. Also in its unrefined state it's extremely heavy and in this matter exactly the Opposite of the refined state. In unrefined state it's the second hardest material after "Tritanium'' [That's a magic enforced alloy of 95% Titanium, 3% Infinity and 2% Shade [the last two are Metals only found in Equestria] - > more common than Alicornite but still expensive.]

If Alicornite is refined, by heating it with Extreme Forces to around 1,21M Degree and completely separating out the carbon sulphides, sulphur and other impurities it becomes indestructible once it has cooled down and can´t then be changed ever again. Making it the Superior Element in Equestria. (no matter what you do or how hot you heat refined alicornite, it remains just like it is now.) //And that's actually pretty fitting because the name already refers to the Superior Pony Tribe, "The Alicorns''!// As earlier mentioned, Alicornite is normally found underground in Mines and Caves, but also in the Body, or more specific Cells of an Alicorn. [100% correct it is refined Alicornite in the cells] - > It's almost certain that this is even the reason why the element was called that Way. [The Concentration of Alicornite in the Alicorn´s Cells is 4,637852%, and only 0,0056% their Weight]. //In Twilight's Case 1.17g of her Weight. [Feel free to find out her weight when she is fully grown now xD]

Alicornite is light, but for a normal Pony-sized Armor you need at least 1KG of refined-state of it. So Alicorns aren't the Best Quell of Resource… // - > If you're wondering what's the Weight difference between Unrefined and refined state it's 12000:1, yes it IS obviously VERY heavy.

- Alicornite refined:

1 cm3 = 0,7 gr.
1 "3 = 11,47 gr.


- Alicornite unrefined:

1 cm3 = 8,4kg.
1 "3 = 137,65 kg.

Alicornite is self-protective; it can't be mined if your emotions are based on greed and / or abuse. It can only be mined for commercial use. [For example to craft Wedding Rings, pendants or for "Warlords" Usage]. Who that is cleared up in later chapters.

---

Tritanium: Since the basic materials alone are very expensive, Tritanium is not a material that everyone can afford. However, due to its hardness and prestigious status, it is used in mansions, the princesses' castles, and other similar luxury houses for stabilization. It is also used in the Canterlot Research Lab, as it is unaffected by most chemicals and spells. (It also looks good due to its purple-blue sheen).


Comments ( 6 )

Where the main 6 where the elements of what the are, I always saw spike more of their future guardian aka the guardian of the elements

Sorry but I don't seem to understand your comment. At least I think I don't.

11537358
What I mean by this is that spike is there to protect the rest like a guardian so that if danger happens he is there makes sense being a fire breathing dragon and has help protect them before in both body and mind

11537518
Yeah, thats a nice and very common theory as it also is likely the most logical. Dragon - fire breath - huge - strong... you name it. In this story however said concept won't be shown if you liked to know. There is someone else ˋtaskedˋ with said. I will mention Spike, yes but he doesn't have a talking role.

I also think the alicorns being goddesses suits them so well so I'm happy to have happened upon your stories :twilightsmile:

And what I meant for the 'praise of the castle defenses part' was the multiple paragraphs you wrote about the delicate and intricate system protecting canterlot castle, but if it was nigh impenetrable how did chrysalis manage to invade equestria's capital? Or was the defense system reformed to be much stronger AFTER the changeling invasion?

11555947
Ohh I see. You mean pretty much at the start of the story? Yeah you can think of it as the new line of defence the two older sisters created with the help of Twilight´s knowledge and skill in magic. They may be thousands of years old and Twi was still a unicorn at the time they recreated the new line of defence. Yet they aren´t the embodiment of magic and have a natural 20 in it. (That´s D&D isn´t it? - Oh I shouldn´t use memes if I don´t know what I´m talking about:facehoof:)

Thank´s for the idea, I honestly never thought about that specific fact!
