There is a small town that lies in a serene countryside, populated by an average collection of ponies and ruled by a minor piece of royalty in a castle. It is a rather ordinary town, it's inhabitants happy and simplistic, but they are all about to fall into a horrible position. One that none could imagine but one that is very real, and exists everywhere. They will soon have to face this, and it could well lead them to destruction.
