Basic History of Equestria

This story begins with the passing of the rulers. With their passing came the inherit bitterness between their subjects and subordinates. The three pony species, pagasi, unicorns and earth ponies had developed a bitter hatred for one another deeply. Each still did their part but did so in payment for what they did. The earth ponies, under the rule of Chancellor Pudding Head, cultivated the land for all of them. In exchange the pegasi, under the rule of Commander Hurricane, took care of the weather. The unicorns in exchange, under the rule of Princess Platinum, added protection and controlled the sun and the moon. The 'tribes' as they where now called, did not care what the others did or what happened to them and only cared about what could happen, will happen, or won't happen to them. However the mistrust and hatred between the tribes grew to a boil and anger and hatred begun to brew into a complicated stew. They all begun to argue and stir until came that fateful day. The tribes where slammed down hard by a blizzard. Because of this blizzard the earth ponies could not grow any food and and all ponies begun to starve alike. The pegasi couldn't control the weather and the skies where so blocked that the sun couldn't shine through. The tribal leaders needed to do something about this and what was happening and met for a small summit to discuss the issue. The princess wanted to figure out why the pegasi couldn't have took care of such a mess themselves and blamed their laziness. The chancellor for the earth ponies blamed the unicorns for indulging in their 'pleasures' and selfishness for not bringing warmth to avoid this catastrophe. The commander of the pegasi blamed both of them for their wretchedness and insensibility. The summit did not resolve anything and only caused a fighting to brew between the three tribes. They would soon come to a decision search out a new place for themselves bringing their apprentices along with them Princess Platinum came across a lush field filled with fruit and wonderful trees next to her apprentice.

Commander Hurricane found a new place in which the clouds were suitable for formation of a new Cloudsdale and easier whether control. Chancellor Pudding Head found a place in which the soil was good and plentiful for farming and cultivating. Free of the blizzard, each one of them content made the new found land their home but there was one problem. They land they had settled on all have settled on. Turns out that not only did one tribe found the same land but all did. Once again disputes and tempers rose over who found it first and would claim it. Before long a small fight broke out and so did another blizzard. Their new land was now engulfed in the same catastrophe that over took the previous land. The tribal leaders, along with their apprentices found shelter in a cave but that close proximity did not stop their bitterness. The tribal leaders drew invisible lines marking their territory and fought over space and time. The anger and bitterness they had between them was so strong that they where beginning to be frozen by the snow until it was too late. The apprentices where left to fend for themselves. having only one another and not the bitter hatred that tore the tribes apart they shared wonderful and fun filled moments with each other. Laughing and giggling the storm away. Their passion burned like fire and with out even knowing, it turned out that the blizzards where being caused by the Windigos. Thought to have long been banished to Tartarus. To keep them at bay the apprentices continued their warmth filled conversation which later burned so greatly that it became the 'Fire of Friendship' which later vanquished the Windigos which fed off of the tribes hatred and melted the ice the leaders where encased in.

The apprentices told their leaders everything that had transpired and what caused the blizzard in the first place. The leaders called for another meeting and this time calmness and actual talks between them where a plenty. Putting their differences behind them they decided to become one and united under one flag calling their new land Equestria.

A certain unicorn had heard of the news who was from the unicorn tribe. He was young and indulged himself in books and the knowledge of the universe. His magical abilities was unmatched and well received and was well known for the tuft of white fur under his muzzle. His name was Star Swirl and had magical knowledge greater than anything and the only ones who knew where the ancient gems of the alicorns was. He met with the tribal leaders and told them that dangers may be free now but soon they would come. Star swirl knew they needed a way to protect themselves from danger as the alicorns themselves needed and the tribal leaders agreed. Star Swirl gathered up the magical imbued gems and presented them in front of the tribes. The apprentices would be first to imbued their new found magic into them son their selected friends Private Pansy was first. Star swirl used his magic to extract the magic from her and imbued the element of loyalty. Smart cookie came and imbued the element of kindness. Clover the clever came up and imbued the element of generosity. Princess platinum came and imbued *honesty. Chancellor Pudding head came up and imbued *Laughter** and last was Star Swirl himself who imbued Magic into the largest gem. Star swirl later returned the Tree of Harmony and placed them back. Suddenly before his eyes the tree changed. absorbing the magic imbued in the gems and becoming one with it. The Tree now looked what it looked today. Crystal like with crystals dangling from the branches. On the tree trunk was the mark of a something new, the mark of the sun and the moon. For Star Swirl this meant something but what he did not know. He departed on his way keeping the location of the now Elements of Harmony a secret until due time.

Two alicorns far away where celebrating the birth of their new filly. A baby with the colors of the moon as the oldest looked upon her sister in admiration and adoration. Her pink mane flowing and sparkling in a wonderful gaze.

"Her name is Luna." said the mother. The oldest smiled and repeated the name. "Luna. I like that name!" These two where destined to be special even though there time would be cut short.

The ancient alicorns knew that for everything there was an opposite. If there existed no opposite an opposite was created for it. For Good there was bad, for life there was death, for bad there was good, for sky there was land, for harmony....there was disharmony.
