Houses worn down by ages of sorrow, a forest as black as ink, and a crumbling castle looming on the mountain's peak. These are what a pony first sees when arriving at Coltislava. No pony ever gets on the train with the intent of getting off. Sweetie Drops will be the first, and as she goes undercover to find a colt that vanished in the night, she'll discover why no pony ever visits, or leaves, Coltislava.

Oh it's bad luck to be Woebegone.

He's got nowhere to go or return to, but he can't stay where he is. For long at least. His presence is enough to bring disaster to himself and those around him, so this apologetic nomad of devastation and misfortune wanders around aimlessly.

Last time he was spotted, he was heading into Ponyville.
