The Dawn of Viribus

Long ago before the lands of Canterlot there were six tribes of ponies: the Pegasi, the Terrae, the Unicórnis, the Amor, the Lucidus, and the Umbra. The Pegasi are the tribe of the air. The Terrae are the tribe of the land and sea. The Unicórnis are the tribe of the Regnum. The Amor are the tribe of love. The Lucidus are the tribe of light, and the Umbra are the tribe of the shadows.

All the tribes lived together in harmony and in equality. Each tribe each had one leader. Ventorum Lapsae ruled the tribe of Pegasi with his commander, Procellae. Queen Corniger Unum ruled over the tribe of the

Unicórnis. King Luvenilia Gaudium ruled the Terrae tribe with the Chancellor Botellus. Queen Lux Cornu ruled the Lucidus tribe with her advisor, Clara. Queen Amor Comedenti ruled the Amor tribe with her Princess, Chrysalis. Praeses Rex Umbra ruled the Umbra tribe with his Lieutenant, Sombra.

Each leader was a part of the Viribus which equalized the powers of the tribes. To equalize the powers, they all formed a Crystállum, which was the core of the Crystal Empire. These tribes then all lived in this one empire all united as one. The harmony lasted hundreds of years until the power of the Crystállum became too much for the rulers to resist. All but the Amor and Lucidus tribe had been corrupted by it’s power. Soon the Consilium was formed, which was lead by King Umbra, to use the power of the Crystállum to rule all the tribes, with a secret agenda to destroy the other leaders of the Consilium. The Consilum and the Viribus fought each other, where the Viribus fought to end the evil of the Consilum. The Viribus combined their powers of light and love to remove the Crystállum from the Consilum and end their reign of terror. However, the Consilum fought with greed and would do anything to get the Crystállum. The leader of the Amor, while fighting the Consilum, was soon being tempted by the shadow king, King Umbra, to obtain more power from Amor to defeat the leader of the Lucidus and destroy the Viribus. However, soon Chrysalis decided to sacrifice herself for the fate of ponies.

Chrysalis, barely resisting the power of the Crystállum, used the Crystállum to kill King Umbra and prevent her queen from becoming a part of the Consilum. However, Chrysalis could not resist the power of the Crystállum and soon became hypnotized by it’s power. Lieutenant Sombra saw the opportunity to take the Crystállum for himself and control all the tribes with it’s power. Sombra took the Crystállum from Chrysalis and soon began activating its powers, but soon Chrysalis, beginning to resist more of its power, use the rest of the power it gave her to remove the rulers of the Pegasik, Terrae, and the Unicórnis from the grip of the Consilum and allow them to resist the power of the Crystállum. However, in doing this she could not resist the power of the Crystállum and became a part of the Consilum. Now, the Viribus, having the powers of the Pegasi, Terrae, Unicórnis, and the Lucidus, fought against Chrysalis and Sombra. With the power of the Viribus, the Consilum was defeated and cast into the shadows of Equestria where they would be banished, however the many of the ponies of the Amor were saved from the hands of the Consilum, while those who fell to the evil of the Consilum were cast into the shadows with Chrysalis. To make sure no other pony could get their hands on the Crystállum, however, the Viribus hid the Crystal Empire and the Crystállum to ensure that Sombra, the new leader of the Umbra, would not get his hands on the Crystállum if he were to escape from his prison in the shadows. However, what was not known was that one of the ponies of the Umbra had escaped from the banishment of the Viribus. After this, the leaders, including the new leader of the New Amor, combined their powers together by making the six Elements of Harmony, which would help them rule over the tribes of the Viribus. They also combined their powers and became two rules, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. By doing this, they would be able to resist the powers of these elements and prevent themselves from becoming corrupted by their power. The Kingdom of Canterlot flourished for many years, until Princess Luna became jealous of Princess Celestia because she was able to enjoy the ponies who were woken by day. Because of this, Tantibus Lunær, or Nightmare Moon, who had escaped the banishment by the Viribus, took over Princess Luna’s body and used Princess Luna’s powers to rebel against Princess Celestia. Using the Elements of Harmony, however, Princess Celestia banished Nightmare Moon to the Moon where she would lay dormant for years to come.
