Equestria, the nation of the pony folk. A nation strong in heart, soul, magic, and sword. For almost a thousand years, the nation held itself against the tides of its rivals through its unified strength. And currently has a hundred years of peace made the nation a bit more docile than it was in the past.

Yet that is about to change. And not even the nation's ruler, Queen Celestia, will be unafflicted by it.

The date is 1092 AD (After Discord), nearly a millennia since the banishment of Nightmare Moon. And the stars begin to align in preparation for the approaching release of the Princess of the Night from her prison. During this celestial shift in the constellations' alignment, there shall be a sudden change in the weaves of fate and reality. As someone intervenes and acts against the will of the heavens.

Meanwhile, another plane of existence is a recently reincarnated man working diligently to be accepted as a cultivator of his sect. Totally unaware of what this rebellious act against reality will cause him.

The drums of war shall sound in the world of Gaia once more. Warriors from all over shall stand up to show their might and valour through the art of war.

There shall be a great age of upheaval, armies shall rise and fall, swords shall be bloodied, lives shall be lost, lives shall be spared, spells shall sunder the world. And the art of the cultivator shall rise to challenge all.

And you are all, there to witness it.

Author's Note: This is a side project I have started since I am currently in an uphill fight with my writer's block in Maleficus Victoria. I hope it will be interesting for those who enjoyed that story and that it will ignite my inspiration again.
