Sixteen hundred years before the redemption of Princess Luna, the newly formed nation of Equestria carved out its place in the world with blood and steel. Seeking to unite all ponies under her banner, Queen Platinum turned her attention to the north, where the griffons made their roosts, and dispatched the mightiest of Equestria’s legions, led by the greatest military mind that pony kind had ever known; General Hurricane.

But not all griffons are the dim-witted barbarians that they are believed to be, and far from an easy victory, Hurricane led her troops into the deadliest battle that she would ever know.
