Fallout Equestria: Don’t Fear The Reaper

By: The Zealot

Prologue

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria...

…War was never a thing known to ponies, they were peaceful, they never needed to know of such a horrible thing. Until, on one day long ago, the land of Equestria took up arms against the Zebra nation, over a petty dispute of gems and coal. The details are pointless and trivial. The reasons, as always, purely our own. A land of peace and harmony evolved into a place where the only thing that mattered was the advancement of murder. How, you might ask, did we come to this? The answer is a simple one: Fear. Ponies feared for their families, for their nation, it did not help when a school was massacred, no, that just made the solution to their fear clearer: A genocide upon the Zebra populations. And with this goal, they became the monsters they had long feared. After millennia of armed conflict, the destructive nature of ponykind could sustain itself no longer. The world was plunged into a bottomless abyss of balefire and radiation….

...But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of pony history. For ponykind had succeeded in destroying the world - but war, war never changes.

In the early days, thousands were spared the horrors of the holocaust by taking refuge in enormous underground shelters known as Stables. But in the world outside, the scars left by the war have not yet healed. The wounds run deep, and now they are being felt in the Equestrian Wasteland.
