1,000 years. A mighty long time for Equestria to be without its most valuable source of protection: namely, the Elements of Harmony. Leads one to wonder how Equestria could have survived for so long, with no real way to protect itself from darkness or hatred and the like. Cerainly Celestia could not have single-hoofedly protected a land with her magic alone. And she didn't.

Equinox. An underground organization of infiltrators, assassins and the like, dedicated to keeping Equestria from plunging into chaos. This story does not seek to explain the origins of Equinox. It simply seeks to relate a rather complex time in it's- and Equestria's- history.

A special thanks to everyone who let us use their OCs for this story. Not all of them will appear right away, but all of them (that were accepted) will make an appearace at some point, and some may even play crucial roles in the plot. So keep an eye out for yours!
