The County of Longsword is a battlefield. Ruled by a mad griffon count obsessed with "purifying" his lands of ponies, it is caught in between his loyal Reformisten and the Partisan resistance.
A small village deep in Longswordian woods is caught in the crossfire, as much as they, and the young Morning Boop, would want to be as far away from the fighting as possible.
