The Great War had ended with the conquest of Equestria. Forced to flee, Celestia and Luna settle in New Mareland to try and prepare for the liberation of their homeland.
Dark forces gather in the frozen north of Griffonia, prompting an ancient order of knights to call for Celestia's aid as she had done many centuries ago.
Celestia heads north, seeking to redeem herself once more.
Set in the Equestria at War universe, a mod for the grand strategy game Hearts of Iron IV

Patience, it'll happen.
You know What wuold be fun as she travels north the owl knight from katarin joins her in the crusade
Interesting story and good chapter! Some interesting thoughts crossed my mind. If I recall in-game events right Maar is not only the God of death and undead, but also madness and... chaos. But we all know that he is not only one who has last title. There is another...

I don't plan on touching Discord, though for different reasons than Equestria at War does; I think 'redeeming' him was a mistake only fueled by how popular he was when he was introduced.
Okay, that's an interesting turn of events.
Heh.
Did she really...
Nice reference.
Speaking of, how are the current relations between Changelings and Griffons?
Do you remember what happened last time you tried to fly?
Remember this once you grow up and sit on the throne, Grover.
How rude of them!

There's no formal relations between the changelings and the Empire after the military attache was recalled but if Chrysalis did decide to try and deepen ties with them they certainly wouldn't say no.
You can use that opportunity to meet with this cutie:

A beautiful sight!
Don't sell yourself short, Celestia.
How would Celestia had reacted if those were Chrysalis' changelings?
Daybreaker would be proud!
True words.
If they manage to add an undead Celestia to their ranks every living being is doomed.
Not necessarily a skill useful for battle.
She might as well be an army herself.

To be fair, the living dead are an enemy everyone can agree upon.
I don't think it's easy to make someone as Rosa feel true fear.
Wow! Great idea!
Now I wonder what Celestia would have done had Rosa refused.
Would she had just said "Okay, I tried. Let's go to the original plan.", turned back into Daybreaker and destroyed the entire castle?
And would she had stopped there, or would she had continued all the way to Vesalipolis?
Also, what about the rest of the council?
Chrysalis will be so furious once she hears about this name...
Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.

Noted, and glad you enjoyed the story!
If I ask, was Maar actually breaking Celestia and having her turn to Daybreaker with the intent of having her destroy the Dread League?
11706590
Not quite! Either Celestia broke and remained in his realm (a victory for Maar) or she reasserted herself and left (also a victory for him). She's almost not quite Daybreaker. A sort of grasping onto that power without actually losing herself to it.
11706668
Wait, her getting out of realm also counts as a victory for Maar? Why?
11706951
Maar is a god of death and with Celestia's escape she'll be pursuing a war of liberation for Equestria.
11706984
Noice.
Will there be a sequel to this story? Will Jachs and his gang help the liberation forces out? Will there be a story involving interactions between Starlight and Trixie, the Canterlot Commissariat's higher-ups, and Protectress Lilac?
I apologize for asking a bunch of questions.
11707464
I do have plans for a couple more stories, one is in progress and needs a little more work before it's ready!

Can't wait for them to be up, one at a time.
God I love this bird. Still one of my favorite paths in the mod.

Meyer is one of my favorites, I couldn't just leave him out.
Where exactly can you play this game? What console is it one?
11778703
It's on PC! $40 currently on Steam, and the mod can be found in the Steam Workshop.
When can we expect a story about Operation Alicorn Sunrise?
11896396
When is something I cannot even fathom at this point but I swear it will be a thing.
11896588
But you're actively working on it?

I'm still working on finishing up The Princess of Night in the City of Light first then I'll begin properly on the last story.
After the Great War and the fall of Equestria, Celestia and Luna found themselves in exile in New Mareland, planning to one day reclaim their homeland. As dark forces began to gather in the frozen north of Griffonia, an ancient order of knights reached out to Celestia for help, echoing a call from centuries past. Determined to redeem herself and confront these new threats, Celestia set off for the north, ready to face the challenges ahead and fight for a better future.
