Fallout Equestria: Dance of the Orthrus
Cover Art by MylittleSheepy
When the war came to it's end, the destruction of Equestria was overwhelming. Entire cities were wiped off the map in but a flash, the once beautiful lands became poisoned and twisted. However, life still went on, only with a new war to fight. An unending war for survival against the wasteland itself. And war? War never changed.
Amidst the worst hit during the apocalypse, the Islands of Marewaii were left as shadows of their former selves. Being the center port for Equestria’s naval campaigns, when the bombs flew, the Islands were a priority target for the Zebras. Megaspells of Balefire mostly bombarded the big island, and the magical fallout that followed covered each of the others. The magical destruction was so great that the air itself became poisoned, a poison that has persisted for over two hundred years.
But like with the rest of Equestria, life continued to go on. Deep under the cities during the war, a vast metro system had been made. It was constructed both for transportation, and for emergency shelter in case the war ended in a balefire rain. Tens of thousands of ponies had fled underground, unsure if they would even survive the end of the world at all. Many closer to the surface didn't, but the ones that did, went on to rebuild society in their new underground home.
Over two hundred years later, our story picks up. A mirage pony mare, named Vibraphone Echo, received a message about a job. This "search and rescue" job will give a year's worth of bits as payment. A simple job, one that gave her a bad feeling, but was worth too many bits to pass up.
They say that war never changes, but ponies do, through the paths they chose to walk.
