Two nations try to hold everything together as it all crumbles around them as unseen forces move to rip everything apart. A Prince slain in his own keep by an unknown foe, leaving the land without leadership. Rumors of an army lead by a possessed mad King spread through the realm of men. Stories of whole towns being slaughtered in a night without a sound haunt the Equestrian countryside. These things and more haunt the minds of leaders who, desperate to save those they can, will fall into the fires of war.
