CH.1 - The Rebirth of a Nation
"It was a strange and dark time. A time when ponies were torn apart... by hatred!"
--- Spike
No matter what our differences, we're all ponies."
—Applejack as Smart Cookie
A a light shines in the dark as a massive library is shown the figure in dark was a stallion alicorn as he goes down the halls of information he takes an archive shpere as he holds it with magic he starts recieving visions of the past. The Earth ponies grew food, and in payment for providing weather, the Pegasi demanded some of the food. The Unicorns also demanded payment for magically raising the sun and moon. None of the tribes cared what happened to each other. This fragile relationship continues until a large blizzard comes along causing a food shortage.
Without any food, the leaders of each pony tribe meet up to discuss what to do. The meeting however goes poorly, as each of the leaders continues to argue with each other. After the assembly, three ghostly horses are shown overlooking the Earth below from a passage in the clouds; they are later identified as windigos. Each of the leaders returns to their second-in-command and explains that the meeting went poorly because the other leaders refused to cooperate. Smart Cookie then tells Chancellor Puddinghead that they are out of food, and Chancellor Puddinghead exclaims "I am just about to be brilliant!," She and the other two tribe leaders decides that they need to go somewhere else, and each leader comes to the conclusion that they must find new land to inhabit.
As the tribe leaders and half of the old kingdom fled on the southern exodus what the tirb leaders didnt know was that there were some who stayed behind. That clinged to hope that the windigos would disapear but it took longer then they thought crops died and ponies died left and right. Meanwhile a alicorn warrior with a blond mane and tail and coat returned from gathering food in the wilderness and he was the exact height as any normal pony his name was Coltenheim.
While the ponies of the kingdom was in grief and worry Coltenheim kept his spirits up knowing no matter what happens he would be ready for anything but he also know the escalating tensions with the other pony races he was respected by each one he visted some homes
