When ponies become industrialized, tensions rise between nations over resources and fair trade. A war is brewing between the pony nations of The Four Hooves Union, the mixed species of the Fair Trade Order and the many deer species of the isolated Antler Confederacy. Nine friends from very different backgrounds are brought together by common strife and suffering that the conflict has bestowed upon them. Together they will learn and grow on their adventures while attempting to find the true bearers of the elements of harmony amongst themselves. As they conquer strong foes and deal with their own conflicts, as well as the world's, they will discover that the plot is much thicker than a simple world war.
