This is set in the Equestria at War universe, and is inspired by The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.


Equiyn Neighgoth – Hei Maretynai! Council betrayed you, council sullied your name! Arise, great Lord of All!

The eleventh century is not a stable time. From Equestria to the Griffonian Empire, from Kiria to Aris, war has become a more common feature than peace.

But in one corner of Zebrica, flanked between nations much greater, Maretania still stands, guarding the magical artefacts in The Cave as it has for centuries.

War has hardly touched the harmonic nation, and it has been lucky in that regard. Still, all is not well.

The Fourth House, one of the few original ruling families over the ancient lands of Maretania, found itself crushed in the seventh century for its radical ideals and dangerous usage of artefacts. The surviving families are the only remains of the footnote in history called the House of Troubles.

Many of these families spent the rest of their lives, and their children's lives after them, working on some semblance of a restoration, to no avail. Now, the only surviving heiress to the once great House, Eohippin Neighgoth, has turned to more unconventional methods to take what faithless minds stole.

After all, unconventional mages often times require unconventional methodology.

I was promised Equine horrors beyond my comprehension. This did not disappoint.

In terms of mind-bendingly weird Kirkbride gibberish, I'm impressed: it does an excellent job of walking that fine line between metaphor and reality, meaning and meaninglessness. The references are a cool touch, especially the really oblique/obscure ones, but the original Theo-thaumatics are still good enough to stand on their own. Maretania's a bold choice of setting, and assuming this isn't a one-shot I'm legitimately a little excited to see where you go with it.

Thank you! I’m currently about 1,000 words in on a second chapter for this, hoping to get out as much as possible before the motivation runs out. :D

But yeah, very glad you thought the Kirkbride-ish stuff was good, that’s high praise!!

If this wouldn't be Equestria at War, I would be so interested :(
