Everdream - The Foals

Three years ago, the sun and moon stopped moving, and Equestria began the Twilight.

Three days later, the citizens of Equestria found out why the Princesses wouldn’t move the sun. They couldn’t, having fallen into a coma they had yet to awaken from.

Twilight Sparkle took control of the Government as the remaining Princess, Cadence’s focus being forced to remain on the Crystal Empire. In truth, it was the Advisers that ran things behind the scenes, as Twilight was nowhere near ready to run a country.

It took two weeks before the noble court and all hereditary positions within the court were totally stripped of their authority. While there were a few that were genuinely trying to help, enough of a majority were being a detriment to Equestria with their power games.

Equestria held together as a nation for only six months before the first city fell into anarchy. Baltimare had ever been a place of two sides. As a thriving port city, it had more than its fair share of problems with crime, smuggling, and even sometimes pirates.

Baltimare was the first domino. Manehattan was lost next. Then Vanhoover. Not even instituting martial law in an attempt to keep the peace had been enough. Canterlot had been the last to fall, the seat of Government almost seemed to be enough.

Then, two years ago, the monsters began to appear. Creatures of shadow and death. Nightmares figuratively and literally, born of the realm of dreams and given life by the Everlasting Twilight. Now, there was no law, no government. Everypony was out for themselves, not caring about others. The cities had more or less been abandoned for the countryside and villages, where food could be grown for a community and a fortified stronghold more easily build.

But there were those that remained in the city and those that had slipped through the cracks. One such group that slipped through the cracks was a group of foals now living in what was left of one of Canterlot’s warehouse districts outside the airship drydocks.

This is their story…
