Long ago, griffons, ponies, and everything else that breathed, were at war with one another, trying to seize as much land for themselves as they could. The ponies created a small faction called the Mythic Dawn to fight back against the griffon's advances. Eventually, the two struck peace, and all other species soon followed suit. No longer needed, the Mythic Dawn, along with their weapons magic, have vanished from everything but the history books. Centuries later, long after the military has been discontinued across the globe by every species, the griffons suddenly begin attacking the ponies as they once did. With no pony to defend them, how will the pony race hold off the new threat?
