Equestria also founded the colony of New Mareland. The continent of Griffonia was discovered, and contact with the long lost Eastern Ponies of the Riverlands was reestablished. History fell into myth, myth spun into legends. ~ Artist HuussiiĬenturies passed, and Celestia rarely spoke of Luna's banishment and the times before it. Industrialisation has brought both prosperity and tension to Equestria. Empires rose and fell, but Equestria remained. Peace and Prosperity reigned, and the years grew into centuries. Mournful but resolute, Celestia ruled Equestria under the mantle of Harmony and its guiding philosophy of cooperation, friendship, and trust, supported by careful management of ecological and climate balance. Terrified of Nightmare Moon and ill omens of the night, ponies lynched and attacked Thestrals, creating a rift between the two societies that would never heal. With a heavy heart, Celestia wielded the Elements of Harmony, defeating her sister and locking her away on the Moon. Attempting to impose perpetual night and rule alone, Nightmare Moon confronted Celestia. She became twisted and possessed by dark magic, transforming into the "wicked mare of darkness", Nightmare Moon. But Princess Luna, given responsibility for the night, grew lonely and resentful as ponies shunned the night, preferring to play and work in the light of her sister's day.
The princesses returned to their stewardship of Equestria. With no choice, Celestia banished her sister to the Moon. Where once a proud city stood, only an icy wasteland remained. But Sombra, bitter with his imminent imprisonment, cursed the Crystal Empire, locking it away along with him. Celestia and Luna used the Elements of Harmony to defeat and banish him to the Frozen North. However, this age of expansion and victory would not last.Ī twisted unicorn of shadow, Sombra, rose in the Crystal Empire, overthrowing the Amore dynasty and enslaving the populace.

The princesses defended the kingdom throughout its early age from monsters, demigods, and disasters, and in doing so they discovered the Tree of Harmony, wielding the magic of its Six Elements, being Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Magic, Loyalty, and Generosity. Celestia and Luna soon realized their destinies were to wield control over the Sun and Moon respectively.Ĭelestia and Luna discovered the Tree of Harmony, wielding its elements to protect ponykind. He crowned the Alicorn Sisters Celestia and Luna as Princesses of Equestria, tasking them with ruling and protecting the land from harm. The wisest and most powerful among them, Starswirl the Bearded, recognized the potential of two young Alicorns, who were rare and legendary ponies possessing the traits of all 3 races. The new alliance proved fruitful, and great pony heroes arose, protecting the fledgling nation. However, they never formally joined Equestria, and their legal status is currently in question. There are also Thestrals (also referred to as Batponies), who are night-dwelling cousins to the Pegasi, and are occasionally considered the fourth equine race. There are Earth Ponies, with a strength and affinity for growth and life, Pegasi, with the ability to fly and manipulate weather, and Unicorns, spellcasters with horns capable of impressive feats of magic.
