please note that as of 15/05/18 I shall be updating and revamping the story, expect lore changes and heavy AU

For three thousand years, humanity have served as slaves to the equine race. Once a proud species, defined by their scientific achievements and technological expertise, the human race has fallen far from grace, and regressed into a new dark age beneath the crushing hoof of Equestrian imperialism. Owned as pets, used for back-breaking labour, and denied even basic rights, humanity is but a shadow of its former glory, subservient to the ponies of the Celestial Sisters.

Yet not all hope is lost.

Legends speak of ancient, powerful creatures named Angels: those who originally led humanity to Equestria aboard the Ark, the God-Dreadnought of the human race. Though it has been millennia since an Angel has walked amongst the people, in hushed whispers the humans speak of their most sacred legend: that another Angel yet lives, and that he shall be the salvation of all mankind. Naming their saviour Cypher, the last Angel, it is upon him that the enslaved human race now bestows their hopes and dreams. In the darkness of the slave pens, the sealed labour barracks, and the servants quarters, the humans gather together in prayer, waiting for the coming of their salvation.

They wait for the Heavenfall.
