******* On Hiatus through Season 4 *******

Over the years, the denizens of Equestria have all but forgotten the true history of the land they call home, preferring to sate their curiosity with cheery tales and celebrations whilst its true and far more sinister history fades from memory.

Perhaps they are simply uninterested in their history, satisfied with life in the Equestria of today and committed entirely to enjoying the present.

Or perhaps some things are better left unremembered.

Perhaps it is better they don't recall the great evils they are capable of; the bloodshed and turmoil of generations past; the unspeakable acts of brutality of their ancestors; the calamities they wrought which almost doomed Equestria to eternal chaos.

For the history of Equestria is indeed far darker than any pony could possibly imagine; fraught with tales of savage violence and inconceivable atrocities, albeit with several crucial moments of heroism and benevolence through which Equestria has been narrowly spared from utter ruin

Although this story has almost entirely faded from the collective knowledge of Equestrians, there is one book left which offers its true, unmodified tale.

One book which may unlock the secrets of Equestria's history to all of its citizens.

One book which reveals all from the very moment of creation.

One book...

And only one pony knows it exists.
