In the History of the World, There were five Distinct Ages before the Land of Equestria. Named for the Elements that Swept over the Land, creatures of that Element of Nature were created; Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Magic. Near the end of the Age of Magic, Dragons from the Age of Fire came back. Seeing that Ponies sprang up in their absence. Without a ruling body, the Dragons quickly took over the Land. And yet, the Dawn of Equestria has yet to rise, but maybe it needs a bit of help to come up over the ridge.
