Equestria as we know it today is a far cry from its infancy. In the age following its founding, the three tribes struggled to come to terms with each other, as they united against the monsters both from without and within that were determined to consume them in endless chaos. It was an age of tentative loyalties, easy mistrust, and war barely contained behind the thin facade of polite diplomacy. It was an age of hardship and loss, but it was also an age that called for heroes. Those that stood against the anarchy and darkness that battered upon the doorsteps of a fledgling nation, bringing to bear steel and spell in defense of Harmony.

This here, then, is the tale of one such adventurer, and his journey across the face of Equestria, and through the Magic of Friendship.
