Thirty years prior to Little Pip having come out of Stable Two the survivors in the Wastelands still make do and try to have somewhat normal lives by maintaining what traditions they still can. Among these traditions is that of Hearth's Warming. It is among these survivors we find the Gypsy Pony band putting on their show outside of Tenpony Tower

Lil' Shelta and her friend Floor Craft search for a Hearth's Warming gift for somepony special in the ruins of Manehatten outside of Tenpony Tower. During this time they are accompanied by Lil" Shelta's friend the White Mare who only she can see as she leads them to a special gift for their entire band.

Lil Shelta is a young filly traveling with her family on a gypsy pony caravan as they travel between one town to the next. She listens to the stories from her elders, including the tale of how her band was blessed by Luna herself and is the only gypsy caravan who is allowed to travel at night. During this time she tries to find what her special talent is, so she can get her cutie mark too. Maybe her new friend the white mare, that no one else can seem to see can help her?

Before there was a Wastelands there was the Equestrian Heartland, the haybale for Equestria. A region of mainly farms and small towns and cities. The only real impact of the war with the Zebras being the occasional notice from the War Department to families that have lost a member, or the increasing number of Balefire Bomb attack drills.

While on their way home to Cloudsdale from visiting family in Fillydelphia we meet Cloud Seeder and his best friend, and fellow Weather Control Warden, Winter Wind as they stop for lunch in the heartland community of Manesville. A railroad crossroads on the Hoof Rock river.

While they are there their worst fear happens and they partake in the actions and panic that occurs on the Day of The Fall. One simple decision that leads to a chain of events will change their lives forever as well as those who live there, from the waterfront of Manesville to the gates outside of Stable that they did not know was there.

A prequel to Fallout Equestria: Borderlands.
