Years have passed now sense the Wendigos were defeated. And the construction of Equestria's first outpost has finally been completed. The good times should be starting to begin. There not. For while the Wendigos might be gone, the old grudges between the three pony tribes have begun to reemerge, threatening to tear apart the fledgling nation before it can even truly begin.

At the center of it all is Smart Cookie, one of Equestria's original founders, as well as one of its newly appointed leaders. Thus making her responsible for finding a way to unite the three pony tribes into a single unified country. But can such a thing be accomplished when your working against generations of bullying, blackmail, and thievery between three groups of vastly different ponies? Perhaps the answer can be found with an explanation for why the the Earth Pony is suddenly seeing and hearing thunder and lightning over the horizon, when there's not a cloud in the sky.

This will be my first ever attempt at fan fiction. So please don't hold back with the constructive criticism.

Also, I'm still relatively new to the fandom, and haven't seen that many episodes in their entirety. Most of what I know has come from reaction videos and episode reviews. So please don't be afraid to point out any continuity errors in my story as well.

I hope you enjoy!
