The Land of Equestria wasn't always so peaceful and full of merriment. It was once a dark and eerie place that was inhabited by Stallions and Ponies working every day to feed their starving families. The land grieved over the loved ones that lost their lives during the first Pony War I. Families usually consisted of four to five, were usually found burying the dead in heaps of dirt on the battlefield because the cost of tombstones became too expensive.
