This story is loosely based on the universe of Equestria at War. Griffon knight Friedrich in pursuit of wealth travels far away to the pony land of Wittenland, to partake in an expedition to Barrad with help of his diamond dog squire - Basalt. Although he'd never heard of this place, its reputation is feared amongst ponies of this Kingdom. The former province of Barrad has been corrupted by dark magic and Wittenland lost any control over it. Queen Whitestar wants to reclaim it, but she needs intel first, so she tasks a party of adventurers with gathering information about this place. Nobody knows, however, what kind of horrors are hidden behind the mist that shrouds Barrad. Can one fight against the darkness and prevail?
