''Throughout the years, few voices within Aris have proven to be as persistent as Coral Ridge's. During the tumultuous times of the late 1000s and early 1010s his was a voice of reason amidst the chaos that took Aris by storm, and it can be stated without question that him and his writings were very impactful on Arisian society as a whole.'' ~ Princess Skystar, Eagle amidst the Hawks, 1048

I regret nothing.

A fell power has risen on Equus, and many refugees have fled its clutches across the ocean to Aris, which now stands as the last beacon of Harmony in a world beset by war. Amidst this chaos, a reporter comes to the Royal Palace in Mount Aris to meet one of these exiles, and tell her story to the world.

You can see this as a sequel to Turning Over A New Loaf, since it takes place in the same timeline, but these stories can be read separately.

A little celebration never hurt anyone, did it?

This is, I think, the first EaW fic to have Posada as a main character; it is also, I think, the first fic to have two characters from Tobuck (Wallnut Drive and Rose Rain) featured in it. Huzzah.

''In those days, nodeer really knew what to expect. Most suspected something was coming of course, but no one was quite sure what that something was, or how it would manifest itself. But the Hjortland meeting of 1008 was the first time plans were made, and it was those plans that ended up saving the Deer of Olenia from humiliation and destruction.'' ~ Lord Rushuo, The Last Lord, 1027

The year is 1008. Following a coup to remove the weak pretender king Johan Djavulen, the Goðar are in control of the Deer nation of Olenia. But simply exiling Johan is not enough to save Olenia, especially not with the looming threat to the north. Following visions by Seers across the country, Allsherjargoði Jurva, head of the Goðar, calls for a meeting of industrialists, Seers and generals, to assess the present and plan for the future.

The Changeling war machine rolled over Equestria in a little over a year. The following three years saw brutal oppression of Equestria by said Changelings, but now the Manehattan Protectorate, covering the eastern coast of Equestria, has collapsed. Out of it the Ponies' Front for the Liberation of Equestria, or Equestrian Liberation Front (ELF) has risen, sending the Changelings reeling as they try to minimise the damage and prepare a counterstrike.

But the uprising left many soldiers of the Heer trapped behind enemy lines, and surrounded on all sides by unfriendly ponies. This is the tale of one such 'ling and his unit, and how he saved his own life and that of the others.
