Tomb of Magic

   Once upon a time there was a remarkable unicorn in the Pre-Equestrian Era. Not much is known about him, most shreds of information being unsourced, or uncredited legend. What is known about him relies heavily on the aforementioned element of lore and legend. But there is knowledge that remains undisputed among all modern Equestrian scholars. This information is however, a poor substitute for real academic knowledge.

The List:

• A few spells, mostly dealing with conjuration can be traced back to him with although this takes much work due to his…anonymity in areas

• He had multiple apprentices (this information is cited in his journals, or what fragments are known to exist)

• Clover the Clever is the only known, confirmed, and identified apprentice (nopony really knows too much about what she looked like either…)

• There is a definite year of birth for him

• He had a connection of some kind with Celestia and Luna

• Only one of his possible hundreds of journals survived, all others are in the form of scarps

• He is the ONLY pony to venture outside of the tundra-like tribe lands (his presence was recorded by the ponies of Maretonia in their official hall of records) although he never released knowledge of other lands to the tribes, this was during the second-to-last era of the Pre- Equestrian age; called the Dark Ages. The boat he used can be seen in one of Canterlot`s many museums.

• A few obvious facts remain wholly undisputed: he was a male unicorn characterized for a long beard and habit of wearing star-stitched robes. The Unicorn Court also recorded him having a white mane and tail along with the star swirl cutie mark found upon his remaining journal

• He had no offspring and lived on the outskirts (but in a debated location) of the Tribe Lands, now frozen over by Windigos

• According to a curious (and unconfirmed) legend he was periwinkle in color. Some storybooks favor this description of him, while others favor a white or gray Starswirl.

Nothing else is known about him.

  Starswirl the Bearded was real, and with the help of my five friends, I, Twilight Sparkle, will venture out there with their help and find his lost works, records, and maybe even his stronghold!
