Traditional Crystal Pony belief holds that many of their heroes come from the days before the Crystal Empire was founded, the days where noble houses rose and fell as easily as the sun rises and sets each day. And when those days ended, these heroes disappeared, becoming myth and legend.

The Crystal Ponies believe that their heroes are not dead, but rather slumber in tombs, to be awakened at a later date. However, many heroes faded into obscurity and the scrolls holding the locations to their tombs hidden away by the Crystal Emperors. Because of this, save for times of great need, these tombs go unfound.

For the Ponies of Equestria, the tombs belonging to these heroes of Crystal Pony legend are the subjects of great debate, and archaeologists search them out, seeking both the treasure and hero contained within each one.

And for one Royal Guard lieutenant, one of these heroes could be the break she needs...

Three thousand years.

Three thousand years ago, the Empire of the Inferno crumbled away, leaving the four Pony races fragmented and leaderless. In time, the four races found land to call their own. And on this land that they found, they created kingdoms, conquering land and warring each other for control of more land.

That all changed when six ponies of vastly different backgrounds, on a quest to find fertile land in their ancestral homeland of Equestria, found something. Something of great power...

The Power of Harmony, a form of magic dating back to the world's origin. With this power, rivaling that of the First Lords, the six ponies exterminated the Windigos that had been plaguing their kingdoms, and brought an end to the current wars.

These six unified the Three Tribes under a single banner, and brought peace to their homeland.

A peace, they thought, would last forever...

It wouldn't.
