Hearth of the Shadhavar
The story of Hearth's Warming Eve, and beyond that, of the Windigoes. An origin for Equestria and the Crystal Empire.
A prequel of sorts to Longma, began during the Christmas break of 2013, with intents of having this be the Christmas Special for Longma, before turning to a different idea (you can see that for yourself in the previous story, if you wish).
Everyone knows the tale of Hearth's Warming Eve; the hatred between the three races attracted the evil Windigoes, who drove them out of their home with cold winds. The three races eventually found their way to Paradise, but soon more fighting broke out, and the Windigoes brought their cold winds to the new land.
By overcoming their hatred, three ponies, one of each race, banished the Windigoes back to the North with a burning heart of friendship.
And the rest is history.
Or is it?
The three tribes have lived in the Valley for centuries. They had a perfect harmony, Pegasi would control the weather and defend their home, the Earth Ponies would provide for the other races, and the Unicorns would ensure the balance of sun and day and support the other races with their Magic.
But from the North, three more tribes, united under a mysterious creature known only as a Windigo, have set their eyes on the Valley.
They would never be able to win an open war against the ponies of the valley.
So the answer is turning them on themselves.
