"My name is Essay. From the earliest years of my life I knew that my destiny is to learn about what's dead and forgotten. After a long period of time of restoring damaged chronicles in the space of my library I've decided that my records should be combined into a book too.
This tome contains stories, legends and theories about paranormal activities within the lands of Equestria. Everything you'll read here is based on my private research, beliefs and equestrian history. It might include topics too drastic for a sensitive reader, so if you're one of them, I won't force you to go through it. However, in a proper circumstances it may come in handy."
