Equestrian Lore: Ancient Lands

        It was written that the Gordo Empire was built in about 27,000 B.B. by the ursa's and fastened together by the gorgons. It was ruled by Emperor Golurg. He was the most powerful minotaur of his time, and ruled his subjects with an iron fist. The Gordo Empire was home to all kinds of creatures mainly mointaurs, and then gorgons and ursa majors and minors, then every monster else.

Everything within the empire was classed according to power. The monsters who were more powerful would live in large caverns with great space, and the weaker ones fought amongst themselves for the little spaces that remained.

He was against the idea of agreeing to "The Mylorian Alliance". Because he came to no agreement with the laws of the land, his empire was afterwards considered an enemy by all of Myloria. By then he ruled over five thousand years, and by that time the empire was in great ruins. The smell of death and feces hung on the air. The monsters left were the strong, and all were left to fight and senselessly kill each other.

He had seven sons in his years of being emperor, six were slain only leaving on left. It was then five thousand- five hundred years of ruling when Emperor Golurg was beheaded  by last son, Prince Barden. He then took the throne as the new emperor of the Gordo Empire.

But like his father he still didn't want to comply with the order of  "The Mylorian Alliance". He ruled for 2,500 years before he was chase out of his empire for being an evil tyrant to all the beast inhabitants.

Emperor Barden and his fellow minotaurs sailed overseas never to be seen by the leaders of the world, and came upon this great maze, and ran deep inside. The guards came to a halt upon this great maze. They turned around and left saying that "It would be impossible to find the minotaurs in such a great maze  that extends for miles, who knows where they could've possibly gone by now."

Upon their leave, the remaining minotaurs hailed the great emperor. And so they started their new lives with in the maze, and protected it with their lives. And if there be any traveler that was curious enough to explore this maze, they won't be so lucky to run out with their lives....

The empire was then taken over by the new beautiful ruler, Empress Meduzla, the most powerful gorgon. She was love by all beasts that came around her. Those who laid eyes on her body were immediately bewitched by it. It was said the she stoned two alicorns completely with ease. She started her reign after the fall of Emperor Barden, and started bringing back together the beasts of the world, making the empire stronger than ever.

Around that time, it was 810,000 B.B. It was said that her life had been extended greatly through a mysterious necklace emblem. It was written, and it was called "The Sacrificial Necklace". It is written that when she wore the necklace, her beauty vanished through time, but more power was given to her. Making her battles won with no effort whatsoever.

She reigned over this empire for fourty thousand years. She hated the fact of losing her beauty, and that she would eventually turn ugly. Out of her hatred, she started wars in many lands and has claimed countless lives. She was put of her misery when she battled against Empress Vulcanaris. Meduzla's eyes were painfully gouged out by her head by the her hooves, and then beheaded her.

It was written that her head of snakes with the necklace was put in an unknown temple never to been seen. Those who happen to come across the temple would hear the screams and wales of little girl, but the unfortunate ones that went in were not so fortunate to come out...
