A blank verse epic about the founding of Equestria, inspired by the poetic style of John Milton.

The poem, written in blank verse, tells the story of the events leading up to the founding of Equestria. From the moment the creator goddess Faust made the first ponies out of plastic to the moment when Princess Celestia finally conquered Discord and banished her sister for refusing to submit to the Laws of Nature.

The poem is my first attempt at Blank Verse, so I hope I don't do too badly. There will be several dozen chapters published every few weeks…

PROLOGUE

Let us speak of Equestria; from its

Founding days in times of Discord, and great

Mistrust between the three races, to the

Time when those beautifully dazzling

Celestial unicorns, chosen heirs

To the throne of that great kingdom, sought out

The very Elements of Harmony

To rightfully restore balance and joy

To the world. Let us sing of adventure,

Great bundles of fun, Equestrian hearts

Filled with incredible beauty, faith, strength,

Compassion and the ability to

Spread love and tolerance wherever their

Hooves touched upon the very earth they held

So dear. And let us sing of magic for

It was by this celestial art that

Those two sisters were able to seek out

And conquer hatred, fear, distrust and war

To help make the kingdom the place of love

And joy we find today. But how am I,

A mere Brony – follower of that great

Animation which speaks to the mind and

Heart of all, whether they be young or old –

Worthy to tell such an important tale?

With what divine assistance shall I spin

This impressive tale? Descend to me, you

Who the three races call Princess and sole

Ruler of the day. Descend to me great

Celestia, become my poetic

Muse so that I may help spread this joyful

Fandom to the wider masses of the

Internet! And lay your blessings upon

Your followers in the Aberystwyth

Brony Society, whose helpful words

Shall help me in my quest to extol your

Works and wisdom. But first, pray speak, tell me

Who was the first to found that great Kingdom?

Who defeated Discord and condemned him

To an eternity in stone? And who

Was it who restored the lost Elements

Of Harmony to that chaotic world?

Of these questions, and many more inside

My mortal mind, please speak and banish fear...
