In the time before Equestria, before the elements of harmony, the peoples of Equis were protected by beings known as The Wrakjon, individuals from all races who showed exceptional courage and bravery in the face of danger, and were bestowed with supernatural strength and command over an element of nature by the gods, so that they could continue to protect those who cannot protect.

For over a millennia they were thought to be a myth, little more than a fairy tail told to children to make them behave.

but when a human, someone of a race from beyond Terra, wakes up in the everfree forest wearing crimson armour with his personal memories meticulously picked clean, he soon finds himself being pulled into an ancient prophecy which not only threatens to change the course of history, but awaken something from the time before terra, something far older than even the gods of Terra...
