Some seven hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Equestria and the Griffon Empire collided in a bloody, yet short and devastating war. The young Prince Arbermal, the last Prince of the Empire and heir to the throne of the Griffon Empire, must sign a peace treaty with his Empire’s greatest foe. In doing so he will decide the fate of his people, his empire and forever change the course of history. The foe he faces now is not one of steel armour and blade, but of paper and quill. And the soft, convincing voice of the Princess of the Sun.

What is your explanation for why Celestia keeps losing over and over and makes one stupid decision after another in this universe if she can actually do all of this? How did she get so soft, so weak, so sloppy, so stupid, so incompetent?
