The Kingdom of Equestria, the most prosperous and famed country on the planet. But as it stands as a beacon of wealth it's shadows casts over all others leaving little for those in it's wake. One such country is the aptly named Badlands, a place where all but the strongest die. It is also within the bare wasteland that hate and animosity towards the thriving nations spurs from. It is here that slowly the other races grow ever more pressed for survival, and it is here that Equestria will learn how truly blessed they have been as the will of those at the edge of collapse will soon been lain out before them.
