(ON HIATUS - SEE BLOG ENTRY FOR 3.28.14)
Twilight Sparkle's magic has gone out of control. Unearthly storms are coming out of the northern mountains to threaten the Crystal Empire. A scholar, stripped of everything by a cruel tyrant's curse, finds something terrible in the river. All of these things are pointing to something horrible on the horizon, but what is it? And can it be stopped in time?

It's a journey of unthinkable sacrifice where the unbreakable bonds of friendship are pitted against the insidious schemes of an ancient evil, across the lands of Equestria and the very fabric of time and magic itself.

Shade of A Crystal Empire is meant to be an Adventure Story in the spirit of the show. Imagine it like a feature film released in theaters that is a bit darker than a normal episode, but nothing that would be terribly out of place.
