The year is 1547 and the Spanish have finished squashing a Maya revolt in the Yucatan. Despite defeating the rebellious natives the conquistadors efforts have proven all but futile as the natives now fight a vicious guerilla war in the jungle. The times are changing as the wealth and glory of days before no longer exists and new officials are starting to arrive to administer the conquistadors' recent exploits. With nothing left to conquer and the Crown is starting to rein in the ambitious Spanish adventurers; the Age of Conquest is coming to a close.

Meanwhile in the Forbidden Jungle, Daring Do is in a race against her nemesis Ahuizotl to search for a long lost temple. During a scuffle she and Ahuizotl are thrown through an ancient portal to the jungles of the Yucatan jungle. Not long after they are captured by a band of conquistadors and brought before the local commander. Seeing an opportunity to keep the conquests going the band of soldiers gather an expedition to cross back over into Equestria, bringing Daring Do and Ahuizotl along for the ride.

What the Spanish don’t realize is they will encounter a land they have only heard in myth filled with magic, monsters, and god like beings. Will they be able to recapture the wealth and glory of conquests before and return to tell the tale? Or will they be destroyed by powerful unknown forces and never be heard from again?
