Within his tenure as king, Dainn ruled Equestria with an iron fist. The men of the land were enthralled into his power. The women forced into a life of servitude. The equine nation had been turned into a place where his people could do as they pleased, and no one could defy them.

Then Dainn died.

Now he finds himself in a world of darkness, with an odd creature aside him that was claiming to be death itself. Of course Dainn doesn't believe any of this, and sets off on a journey to escape what he assumes to be a grand illusion, and meets with a few people he never expected along the way.
