Equestria was a land founded by the three original tribes (Earth Ponies, Unicorn’s and Pegasus) so they could live side by side in harmony since their fighting and hatred for each other was what destroyed their last land and almost this one.
They had to decide on a united way to rule the new land since it was obvious their old system was a failure since it had destroyed their old land. The Unicorn’s magic was used to raise the sun and the moon, The Pegasus managed the weather and made it comfortable and livable for all Ponies and The Earth Ponies grew food and organized the lands of Equestria.
The system they were operating was working but they all understood that they had trouble appointing a leader. The Unicorn’s wanted Equestria to have a Unicorn leader, the Pegasus wanted a Pegasus leader and the Earth Ponies wanted a Earth Pony leader. This started a small conflict between the tribes but then one abnormally powerful Unicorn formulated a plan and a compromise.
He decided that if he and other Unicorn's used their powers to combine the powers of all three tribes. With a small DNA sample from each tribe he could create a hybrid. That could manage and rule Equestria in harmony and avoid conflict and hatred between the tribes.
This idea was supported and welcomed by some. Some thought it was mad some branded him insane and said he needed to be locked up but after deep thought and okay from the majority of all tribes a random member was selected from each tribe to give the sample DNA.
THen after long and extensive work by the group of volunteering Unicorns, Pegasus and Earth Ponies. They created the overall best hybrid that was a talented in Magic as Unicorns, Flight as Pegasus and Manual Labour as Earth Ponies. They called the species Alicorn’s.
They created 2 Alicorn’s originally who would create a large royal family. It was decreed that they would have enough children that would be able to rule over Equestria easily and efficiently all taking on different roles in the royal family.
At this time though the King was responsible for raising the sun at dawn, governing Pegasus and Earth Ponies while the Queen was responsible for taking out the stars and moon at night, governing the Unicorns and Pony Magic.
The Royal Family was also advised not to breed with other Ponies since it may damage their powers and ability. The King and Queen had 5 Sons. One who was born with the power to raise the stars and moon, one who was born to govern Pegasus, another to govern Unicorns and Pony Magic, one to govern Earth Ponies and the final was born with a special power of love. He could spread love where ever he went. These Alicorn’s all had their special powers and they formed the base of the Equestrian Royal Family.
All the Ponies in charge of creating the King and Queen were drafted again to create 5 female Alicorn’s. One that had the power to raise the sun at dawn, 3 to help govern each Pony Species and a final one that had a special power of love.
They were all paired so that they would be able to carry on the line of Alicorn’s in an established manner. The King and Queen stayed in power to help maintain Harmony and make sure their children were carrying out their royal duties. Sadly, Due to the nature of the Royal Family the heirs could only be Prince’s and Princess’s. It is since all heirs share duties of the Royal Family were shared and two couldn’t fairly become the King and Queen.
The Royal Family continued ruling in Harmony. The next generation continued in a different way. Each Couple had two children. Each line had one male and one female. The Male got the power of their specific family line and the female got one from another family branch giving them a partner for the future.
The first Pony born in that generation was a male born at midnight to the first son of the King and Queen his son was given the power to raise the stars and moon. The second was born to the fourth son of the King and Queen and she was born at midday the next day and had the power the raise the sun. This was the start of a family tradition for the Ponies with the sun and moon powers.
One generation the male would have power over the sun and the female would have power over the moon. The male would be born at midday and the midnight after the female would be born. The next the male would have power over the moon and the female would have power over the sun. The male would be born at midnight and the next midday the female would be born. Then so on.
The other royal family births were never as correlated as the Sun and Moon births but they were all born with roles in their line or a line to marry into. This is how magic kept the Alicorn’s a perfect hybrid and they could maintain harmony all over Equestria all having their little roles in Equestria.
The Royal family were able to maintain harmony for generations. The population of Equestria was happy with the governing of their sweet nation. Sadly, One Generation of Royalty a mishap in Alicorn Genealogy happened a ‘extra’ Alicorn was born without a pre-determined power and partner. This Alicorn was a rebellious one and fell in love with a ‘normal’ Unicorn.
She was given an ultimatum by her family
“Thou shall come back to the family and live the life of a nun or leave and cut all current and future contact and association with the family.” She took the second option and got together with this Unicorn. However, The Pony public was upset with this Alicorn being disowned for being in love.
The public trust in the Royal’s fell. Some say this is what caused the next events and years of horror to unfold. Regardless, The Public hated the Royals for caring more about bloodline and stature than family relations.
The Alicorn who married the Unicorn had a foal this foal wasn’t as strong in flight and manual labour as the other Alicorn’s due to the ‘contaminated’ blood. This family tried to live in silence but her wings made it obvious she was the outcast royal.
The stir she caused in the Pony Public causing unhappiness and hate to the Royal Family. This also caused an unexpected stir in the Everfree Forest. Pony Knowledge on the Forest was limited since it scared all Pony’s with it being soo unnatural weather, plants and everything worked without Pony Intervention.
One Fateful Day a horrible hybrid of creatures ventured out of the Forest. It was called a Draconequus this Draconequus was called Discord and by his names sake strived to hold Equestria in an eternal state of un rest, un harmony and discord.
The Alicorn’s went to the boundary of the Everfree Forest and were expected to defeat the Draconequus but as it turns out the Alicorn’s full power counts on public trust and love and the Public had caused the Draconequus upon themselves.
The Alicorn’s ashamed and defeated decided to run to the other side of the Everfree Forest somewhere hard to access for all Pony’s to deter them from coming to attack the Alicorn’s. They build a ‘palace’ wondering what they would do they 5 couples. The Sun and Moon Couple on the generation with the Male being in charge of the moon. The 3 couples in charge of the respective tribes and finally the couples that had been responsible for encouraging love around Equestria and in charge of the Crystal Empire in Equestria.
All the Alicorn’s tried to use their magic over Discord’s. The Prince and Princess of the Sun and Moon tried to raise the Sun and Moon at the right times rather than every couple minutes or every couples days that Discord preferred. The love couple tried to spread love and keep pony relations up but this also failed and the others didn’t have the powers to govern the tribes as they had before.
Thankfully, the only thing Discord couldn’t effect was the emotions inside Ponies and how they acted.They were able to create hope when most were on the verge of giving up. Within them all they all they knew that if they sticked together and knew if they never fully gave up Discord would never win and one day the Royal’s would be strong enough to take control and over throw Discord but when that day would come nobody would know.
For generations the Alicorn’s like the rest of Equestria kept on living never giving up even though life was miserable they keep going on. The Royal Family keep on breeding the normal way their foals were paired with specific powers at birth and they kept this going under Discord’s rein and normal Ponies lived the same just in un rest because of Discord’s way of running Equestria.
Except one day the Royal Family lost some members and the amount of foals was reduced they had 6 foals. 2 for the Sun and Moon, 2 would over see and govern the Pony Race and 2 for Love and the Crystal Empire if the time ever came. The family were worried by the family changing but they shouldn’t have been because Magic is as magic does had it ways to work everything out.
The 5th Generation since they moved to palace of safety the foals changed. The woman in charge of Moon was bearing a foal who was expected to be in charge of the Moon but no other Alicorn was bearing a foal so this was worrying until one day a Unicorn Couple with a mare bearing a foal appeared after battling through the Everfree forest. The Alicorn’s listened to their story and she had once had an Alicorn in her ancestry. She was having an unusual pregnancy and they adopted her into the family since they had their suspensions about magic.
This generation turned to be different from the past generations. Then at midnight a Male was born with the power over the Moon and Night then the next midday the female Unicorn gave birth to a female with power over the sun.
The Couple that would govern the Pony Race had a female foal with Love Powers and the Love Couple had a male with the Love Powers. The 4 foals were paired but given a new view from the Unicorn they had travelled around Equestria gaining views from all Ponies. They had found out that all Ponies still told the old tales to boost sprits they told the story of Hearth’s Warming Eve, The Alicorn’s, Royalty, Harmony they all held hope that one day the family would be strong enough to over throw Discord.
This placed a new hope in the Royal Family line and they never understood the power magic would ensure over this.
