"This new land of Equestria was supposed to be a land of peace...But what has changed besides the dirt beneath our hooves?" - Star Swirl

The new land of Equestria has been founded, but real peace still lays just out of hoof's reach for the ponies that inhabit this new world. However hope still clings to the land with the Crystal Empire's examples of unity, all that's needed now is push in the right direction from one of the three factions. But the ideas of old may proof to be little more then a bump in the path for King Sombra as the greatest power in the Crystal Empire begins to turn on it's own master.

Based in years before FIM and preceding events in my story The Land Before Us.
Characters updated with chapters.
