I was not prepared for this...

Centuries ago, the Crystal Empire fell to the evil of King Mi Eterna Sombra. Wounded by the unicorn's dark magic and corrupt heart, the Empire retreated into the ether and took its citizens with it. Many ponies at that time believed the Empire would never be seen again.

Now, in AD 1358, the Second Diarchy, the Empire has returned. With a reluctant princess and a vengeful moon-goddess in tow, can Twilight Sparkle and her friends (both pony, human, and other) succeed in saving it and restoring the Empire to its former glory? What secrets lay in the shining city of Adamanetia?
