For years now a creature wanders the world of Albion, with questions in his head and sand in his boots. The questions are rather simple: Where do I come from and where will I go? But how do they say? Sometimes, the journey is the reward.

Nice chapter.

Than read the last act again. Think about where we left Thiemo, Twilight and the others. Maybe you will figure it out
You...
Reminding me I need to pick up learning German again...
Eh, I find Estoc a little boring. Really not much to the character at all. I'd say I'm neutral towards him. Don't hate him, but don't like him.
Xenophillia was one of the first fics I ever read on this site, so yes, I was picking up that vibe with the mare guards.
Won't he be pretty much a sitting duck in the water for any pegasus with a searchlight? Unless he's just that good at swimming
Really? Goblins? (I know that this is wrong way to start comment, but I simply must express my astonishment).
Dear author,
you seem to draw handfuls from myths, tales and fairy tales. I'm not saying that this is something bad. Quite contrary! But it sometimes simply confuses me (I mean: You did well). I just can't wait for next chapters!
The First Question:
How much in advance is original, German version?
Second Question:
Male to female ratio in this universe? 'bout fifty to one, or less (or more if you like extreme solutions)?

1. I would call it all original. It's more that stories like Xenophilia influenced me. Every author is influenced by something. I just acknowledge it and tell you guys. In the preparations for a new story I have another story that influences me this time very much: "The Chase". But I don't copy.
2. If this would be a slice of life story I would have a ratio, but like you I just can estimate. 5:1 or around that. Society isn't my focus in this story, only something on the side.

I though so. Five to one, so herds are still primary family group.
4655745
Yes. But Unicorns invented marriage to unite their houses. (And with that power, money and so on.)
Society always follows the example of the nobility (see our own history) and now there are some marriages but mostly herds (especially the earth ponies live in herds).
I Imagine pegasi more like turtle doves. Only one Partner at a time but they find a new one if the old dies or something like that. Breakups aren't the norm with them.
And like I said the earth ponies mostly live in herds. The Cakes are a good example on the other way. They both claimed to have pegasi and unicorn ancestors. Thats why they are more comfortable with marriage than a herd. Because of their upbringing. It's more a cultural thing. I mean, the tribes still have their own city. Earth ponies live in cities like Manehatten, Vanhoover etc. The pegasi have Los Pegasus and Cloudsdale and the unicorns Canterlot. We have to remember they only are one country for thousand years. It takes more time than that to mix 3 tribes so far up that no one notice anymore. (And with their differences like horns and wings, its even more difficult. Just try to imagine if humans had something like that. We only slightly different skin color and body build. If we had something like horns... Let's just say we need less to kill another.)
What I wanted to say with that is that I'm not surprised that ponies are a little racist. The one without any flaw shall throw the first stone. (And I'm not even religious.)

Hmm... Pegasi like turtles, that's something new! However, I understand what you want to say. Most birds (why birds? pegasi has wings!) create couples that last for lifetime.
But what about these unfulfilled pegasi mares? Are they forced to live lonely life without somepony to love?
Unicorns as nobles? Nah... Not all of them. We cannot forget that they (ponies) live is era that recalls crossover between middle ages and renaissance/modern era. Sooo...their numbers is low (lover than ours) and majority of population is engaged in food production. Given that before Equestria was founded Tribes were separated, they needed someone, or somepony to work in fields. Additionally there is still fact that they have inferior quality of fertilizers and their cultivation mechanization was far worse (I guess).
A thousand years is not enough to unite country? I don't think so. Remember that far across the ocean is a country that has less than three hundred years of written history and is recognized as a world power. People who live there are patchwork of different cultures, and they are proud of it. And don't forget about Germany also had to be united (XIX century).
Xenophobes? Yes.
'bout this stone, what about their mighty ruler?
4656688
I hear there are many clam jousting clubs across Equestria.
4656688
Well, google translator must have a hiccup (and I don't mean a small boy riding a dragon). I let it translated the German word "Turteltauben" and thats what I got. And I think I remember the translation from the movie "Home Alone 2" (Seen that so often I can't stand it anymore.They show it on every Christmas in Germany.)
And it's like you said. There aren't many of them. The whole of Equestria at the date of founding considered maybe a few thousand ponies. If you recall the episode about the founding the earth ponies were the farmers, the pegasi the soldiers and the unicorns the nobility (while moving sun and moon.) So the unicorns were the spoiled child. Didn't had to work, just to sit there while a little council moved the heavenly bodies. Today there may be unicorns working other jobs, after Equestria was founded, but they all are descendants of the surviving unicorn nobility. Every unicorn can say they have noble blood because it would be true. And there are always people/ponies who think they are better than someone else.
America is one of the worst examples to choose. They may be a country on the map, but thats it. Yes, they are powerful, but at the same time its one country with the most hate crimes in the world. Or any crimes. Only some countries we call the third world have more crimes than good 'ol US and A. Truly united are only a very few countries in the world. Very few. I wouldn't need a second hand to count them. (And Germany isn't really united either. We still divide between east and west Germany for example. Like the wall never fell.)
4656931
Well, no. You can't count unicorns as nobles, not all of them. It is as if every redhead was a vampire or else. That's stereotype! And don't forget that we derive that knowledge from their "nativity play". This knowledge was certainly simplified and censored. Don't forget that was play for foals/children.
Americans weren't my strongest option (states), but only because of our (I mean humanity) greatest virtue and flaw - our diversity.
4656699
That was a rhetorical question.
4662441
That was a joke.

Speaking of changeling reminds me of X-Men.
Hybrid Theory? Two of my favorite songs were 'Papercut' and 'In the End'!
It starts with one thing.
I don't know why,
It doesn't even matter how hard you try.
Keep that in mind.
I designed this rhyme
to explain in due time.
All I know.
Umm... Isn't the song called Bleed It Out? The L is missing.
Xenophile is so good. It's sad that the author never came forward or wrote anything else. Divided rainbow is where I get my fix for more now.
