The History of Equestria

Introduction

We now live and enjoy an amazing world filled with ponies, griffons, ursas, dragons, hydras, minotaurs, and so many other mystical creatures. We explore the many creative worlds of authors whose stories for the most part revolve around the current day Equestria.

Wonderful, isn’t it?  But has anyone thought of where it may have started, how did everything come into existence, where exactly do the other creatures of equestria come from, or better yet what are the origins of Princess Celestia and Luna? Were they always alicorns or did they have to reach a point or acquire a certain knowledge of some sort? Could there have been a point in time where beings like alicorn were actually a race, or did Celestia and Luna come from nowhere?

That being said, why don’t we all sit and relax and do some reading? Well, I guess all of us have been doing that. What I’m talking about is reading a detailed oral history of Equestria that goes back to the beginning of where everything started. A time where alicorns lived as ponies lived today. A time when darkness didn’t have an iron grip on the world, yet. A time when all the places of Equestria didn't exist...

This history will reveal the secrets, both dark and true, of the land we call Equestria. Secrets that may lead to answers that curious ponies go on pondering about day and night. Now this oral history is so large with information, it has been separated into five sections. They're not difficult to connect; however, all you would need is time. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the read of the past some equines dream to find out.

Oh, so you want to know who's narrating this book? No one. You won’t hear much about me at all in this story. I’m Fantasia Archsage, but please don’t say my full name. You could just call me Archsage thank you very much. I’m an adventurer who wants to know the secrets of the past. I came upon this book while traveling through the Everfree Forest. So now I’m here with these books and out of the forest, I’ll just sit and read this book and...

        Sorry about that, I guess I got carried away there. Let me not bore you anymore from what you really come to gaze your eyes upon. This book won’t be detailed in every aspect. Over the many millenniums, history couldn't stay in one book, so a few scholar ponies found some of the pieces that connect to this mysterious tome making it an interesting read. Some words will be highlighted in ‘green magic’ as you go throughout this ancient tome for if you choose to read further about the ancient secrets.

Yes, you could read through this book, and I guess get the summary of the history, but I’m more of an adventures pony and let’s face the facts here. I’m gonna find out the truth regardless, so the rest of the reading is up to you.

        Ok fine, fine, with all due respect. Here is The History of Equestria. Ready to experience what the world was like before? I don’t know about you, but I am. So I’m just gonna go right ahead and flip to the first chapter. If you’re not ready, then that’s just too bad. I’m not gonna wait for you, here it goes.
