Long ago in the land of Equestria, before the era where the ideals of friendship gave way to greed, selfishness and paranoia.

Equestria was inhabited by magical ponies and other talking creatures, such as griffons and dragons. Other animals and creatures also inhabited this peaceful nation, bringing peace and harmony. Princess Celestia, our ruler of the once known kingdom of Equestria, had a  student named Twilight Sparkle, who was the element of magic, who with the help of her friends, defeated evil that tried to take over the magical land, Evil like the lord of chaos, Discord, who was reformed by the element of kindness, Fluttershy.

Shortly after peace finally returned to Equestria, something happened, and that was the Great Equestria War.The Great Equestria War was a decades-long militarized conflict between two global superpowers, the pony nation of Equestria and an unnamed zebra nation with whom it shared a border. This war lasted many years and forced Equestria into a rushed industrial revolution as the two superpowers raced to outdo each other in the fields of arcane science, industry, and wartime technology.

The most significant cause of the Great War was the rising number of trade sanctions involving natural resources between the two belligerent superpowers-- Equestria, which had a monopoly on magical gemstones, and the unnamed zebra nation, which had a monopoly on the coal needed to power Equestrian industry. As relations strained, minor conflicts broke out between the two nations. Eventually, the accidental massacre of civilians at Littlehorn Valley drove both superpowers into an all-out war.\par

In an attempt to end the war, the Ministry of Peace led a project along with the Ministry of Arcane Sciences in order to create the megaspell, a spell framework that exponentially amplified the power of any given spell, whether it be healing or devastating.

The schematics for the megaspell framework were then clandestinely supplied to the zebra nation. This was done in hopes that the frameworks would be used to build immensely powerful healing spells that would, by preventing the deaths of anybody, guarantee a no-win scenario for either belligerent, and force everyone to stop fighting and come to the table -- the concept of Communally Assured Reciprocal Existence or (CARE).

Equestria eventually gained a significant technological lead over the zebras to the point where the milestones it needed to assure victory -- primarily bypass spells and alicorn mutations--had been reached, and mass deployment was mere weeks away. Seeing this, the zebras recognized that the war would not end in their favor and that defeat would be inevitable. We now stand in the brink total war and i'm afraid for myself, for my wife and for my unborn child.

If my time in the army taught me anything, it's that war........war never changes.
