Out in the Badlands are creatures that are half dragon and half pony. These special creatures live among the dragons in the dragon kingdom. They are called Kirins. The dragon king has had these creatures thrown into the dungeons for being 'abominations.' One individual in particular wanted to see his kind be free. So for him to do this he got his fellow prisoners to rally up and break free from their prison. The leader of this rebel group not only killed the king but took the throne as the new ruler. He then declared a couple of laws that changed the kingdom forever. The new king had those who went against his rule executed. Several years passed along with his ambition to rule. He declared that the kingdom shall expand and rule over all lesser beings. The dragons and several of his brethren agreed with their king while others were against it. So those who were against it tried to stop this mad plan they staged a rebellion of their own to which failed. The rebels were locked in the dungeon while the king decided where they will take over first. Equestria.
