Once ruled by two sisters long since vanished, Equestria has plunged itself into anarchy and now each and every town spread across the old kingdom has become a fortress unto itself to keep out marauders. Throughout the years since the disappearance of the two sisters, airships piloted by sky ponies have waged a constant war against the mighty dragons without an end in sight. With a sword in one hand and a musket in the other, the remnants of pony society fight for survival. One zebra will find his gold laden paycheck to be tougher to earn than he first imagined as the spell transporting him goes awry.
