After months of rebuilding and reorganisation, Hivesmarshal Trimmel and Queen Chrysalis are ready to launch their second invasion of Equestria. This time, they vow not to fail.

Wars leave scars, death leaves holes in lives which a pony used to fill. As generations pass, those scars disappear and those holes cease to exist. Now, only an unlucky few remember the scars of a generation.

The Heer is retreating. Never did Blueblood think he'd see the day, but the entry of Stalliongrad into the war has presented the first sign of hope for a long time.

The great war ended over half a decade ago, but the stories of those who defined it remain untold. The Griffon Empire has sent me to piece together a fraction of what transpired in those horrible years.

There are some beings in Equestria which predate civilisation itself. One night, one of these beings stumbles into Ponyville, and gives its residents a close encounter.
