This story is a sequel to Rage of a Queen, wrath of a Mother
After King Sombra escaped his captivity, he dropped off the radar again and nobody knew where to find him. Meanwhile, his mother has by all appearances started to reform and is allowed limited mobility within Canterlot Castle.
Then suddenly, after many months, the king himself returns and gives Private Iceland and his friends a rather odd offer; convince him to retire from his evil ways. Naturally, everybody is on guard, wondering what Sombra is up to and if he's being genuine about this offer.
Meanwhile, Princess Celestia must also contend with a mysterious accident that has delivered a very familiar pony to her kingdom.

Does the Equestrian military have any other people in it who are named after regions?

Private's name comes about from his parent's being a little eccentric, his name is not a military rank, he was their private little Frozen North. In the Equestria Tales, The Ice-Lands is an old Griffon word for the Frozen North, around the time Private was born, they were studying old Griffon culture. They just ditched the hyphen and combined the words since they felt three names was a little too much.
As for if others are named after regions, I don't know, haven't needed a character with name like that yet.
I ship it.
