Long ago, the Dark Alicorn known as Lord Vulcan was imprisoned in the stars in order to end a terrifying and oppressive war. Now, 5,000 years later, the constellation which has sealed his soul has fallen apart when one of the stars comes crashing down and lands somewhere in the Equestrian fields. With the spell broken, the ancient Lord Vulcan becomes a threat to the Kingdom of Divine Equestria; the land he had once ruled long ago!

With his ancient army which had been sealed in time by the Malistares, Lord Vulcan has vowed to rule and oppress Equestria with an iron hoof. Nothing can destroy this ruthless warlord, but he can be stopped before he achieves his goal!

It is up to Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy to find a way to restore the power of the spell and seal Vulcan's soul in the stars once more! But things are a bit different now that the warlord has returned, and he has pieces on the board which nopony could ever hope to counter. Only faith, courage, love, and friendship can hold the hopeless defenders of Equestria from falling on their knees before the ancient Lord Vulcan, Ruler of Sundero!

And the only way to protect Equestria is through the power of an ancient and timeless magic!
