Authors notes 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThis weeks chapter is taking far to long to complete and life keeps getting in my way, so I had the idea that I should release a list of what races I will be using in the story. Now know that this is not a complete list as some races I want to be a surprise for when I use them at a later date. With that said let's introduce some of the races of Equus.
Pegasus/Earth Pony/Unicorn A.K.A. Pony: Ponies were the first creation of Moira Physis.
Thestral:
Zebra: Zebra are a ritualistic race created by Moira Physis. They are skilled potion brewers and are well known for there ability to read the threads of fate. They are extremely in tune with nature and often act as the liaison between the Earth and other races of Equus. They follow the will of Gaia Nesoi Ourea no matter what she asks. They once lived in harmony with the ponies but a Unicorn by the name of Starswirl the Bearded spread rumors that they were evil which's and enchantresses that used black magic and stole ponies souls.
Seaponies: The Seaponies were created by Nereus Pontus Aquaria. They are exactly like the other Ponies, the only difference is that there body from the stomach down is that of a fish. and they live in the water.
Hippogriff: Hippogriffs were created by Caelus Atlas Uranus by merging a Pegasus and Griffon. They are the best of both worlds. They have a small country to the west of Equestria.
Siren: The Siren were created by Nereus Pontus Aquaria. At one time they were a mighty race that were ruled by a King and Queen. However a Unicorn by the name of Starswirl the Bearded lead a genocidal crusade against them by depicting them as demons that caused strife and feed of misery. Toward the end of the crusade He banished the three Siren Princesses to another world and used a spell that brought the Siren race to extinction.
Minotaur: Minotaur's were created by Moira Physis after hearing Aion tell legends of them. They are extremely strong and skilled in construction. While they don't have magic they make up for this in there intellect.
Griffons: Griffons are fierce warriors like creatures created by Moira Physis after hearing Aion tell legends of them. They are natural warriors and only respect those who are strong. However they also live by a strict code of honor and will always live by it.
Dragon: Dragons were created by Moira Physis after hearing Aion tell legends of them. They are large winged lizards that breath fire. Fiercely intelligent, Dragons have a natural desire to horde anything shiny or valuable. There have been many dragons ho have horded knowledge instead of gems or gold.
Flutter Ponies/Breezie: Flutter Ponies were created by Asteria Hecate and were based off her fathers creation, the Changeling. They were tasked with assisting in the stabilization of the worlds Magic fields. They later devolved into Breezie who are simply lazy.
Changeling: The changelings are a race of hive based shape shifters that was created by Aion Erebus. The Changelings are ruled by a Hive Queen who in turn are ruled by there mother the Supreme Queen. They once lived side by side with the ponies till a Unicorn by the name of Starswirl the Bearded lead a genocidal crusade against them by spreading rumors that depicting them as demons. After that they were brutally mascaraed and hunted till they fled to the badlands.
Phoenix: The Phoenix are a race of fire birds created by Moirai Physis. They have a form of sudo Immortality that allows them to be reborn. There fire is made from pure magic and there tears and feathers hold incredible healing properties. They are the opposites of the Windigo.
Windigo: The Windigos are a race of ice wolves created by Moirai Physis. They have a form of sudo Immortality that allows them to be reborn. There ice is made from absorbing negative emotion. They are the opposites of the Phoenix. Windigo's live in the Frozen North and normally prefer to be left alone. The only time they have ever caused trouble was when a Unicorn by the name of Starswirl the Bearded stole a pup from them. The enraged Windigos chased after the unicorn following him back to the land that would become Equestria. Unfortunately by the time they were able to find the pup it had already been killed. Enraged Windigos froze everything in there path and only were placated by Clover the Clever who begged them to stop the freeze of innocent ponies. When the Windigo's refused Clover used her magic to bring the pup back as the first Timber Wolf.
Crystal Pony: The Crystal Ponies were created by Gaia Nesoi Ourea. They are constructed from living crystal and infused with magic to bring them to life. They were originally lead by a Prince or Princess but when Prince Diamante was forced to accept a deal from Moros Apocalypsis to protect his kingdom and he was corrupted in to King Sombra the Crystal Empire fell and was later locked away for a thousand years.
Sphinx: The Sphinx's were created by Gaia Nesoi Ourea to act as guards for the most important locations and artifacts. They have eternal youth but are not immortal.
Draconequus: There are only two Draconequus, Discord and his twin sister Eris.
Deer: The Deer were created by Moira Physis to act as the protectors of Life. Deer spend most of there time in meditation and are master mages and are supposedly even able to bring the dead back to life. They are lead by Fauster Life (Faust).
Goats: Goats were created by Aion Erebus to act as the Guards to the Gate to the Underworld. Goats have a similar power to that of a Gargoyle in the since that they can turn into a stone statue at will. Because of this fact they spend most of there time in this form guarding the Gates to the Underworld. Goats are the opposite of the Deer and are master necromancers able to raise the dead to aid them in combat. Despite being near opposites of the Deer they actually get along quit well together and both live together.
Undrworld
