The Canterlot Archives continues our look back on the Nobility Revolt of 503 with this excerpt from High Overseer Magic Flare's seminal work The Nobles’ Revolt, where he recorded his firsthoof account of the devastating attack and its lasting consequences on Equestria.
The excerpt chosen from this twenty-four chapter book is a poignant one, showing Princess Celestia's reaction to the discovery of Archmage Mana Spring's famed lost rune. One which, by all accounts, would have unleashed a magical revolution never before seen in our history, had he been able to complete it before the events of that harsh spring.
