In the distant past, a group of ponies created the Cult of Discord to follow the teachings of the Lord of Chaos. While they waited for his return, they created six stones to combat the Elements of Harmony. These magical gems were dubbed the Elements of Discord. However, these ancient artifacts never surfaced, and were lost in nothing more than legend.

Now, centuries later, a map has come forward with a location to one of these stones. Princess Celestia has gathered a group to prevent these elements from falling into the wrong hands.
