During the age before the rise of Nightmare Moon, Humans raged war on Ponies, Minotaurs, Griffons, Dragons, and Zebras alike for centuries on end. Humans were nothing more than a bloodthirsty horde, rivaling even the Griffons and Dragons in their destruction and power. In a desperate attempt to end the bloodshed, the two Pony Princesses called upon the nations rulers to band together against this threat. The Humans finally fell, thanks to the combined powers of the nations, allowing Peace and Harmony to enter the land.

Now, a millennia after Nightmare's banishment, a single human walks the lands once more. Unlike his ancestors, however, his role in this world will depend on the choices he makes, and the bonds he forges.

My name is Jon Hoy. Pray for me that I can carry this burden.
