For hundreds of years, ponies have served under their gryphon masters, slaves at the complete mercy of their cruel overlords, with no chance of salvation. Earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi alike have lost all but the faintest hope of ever being free, with the only light in their dark and dismal lives being their faith.

She was the first being, a combination of all pony tribes with magic far beyond anything any mortal could hope to comprehend. She created the world and the life that came to call it home, watching over Her creations with joy and pride. Yet She has seen the atrocities being committed against Her children, heard their cries for help and felt the pain they suffered.

And so, for the first time since She created the world, She would speak with one of them, teach them what needed to be done in order to bring salvation to those that needed Her. And to those who would stand against Her will, She would make the mortal realm into a living Tartarus.

For Faust has but one mercy to those who would bring forth the ruin of Her grand design, Oblivion.
