Equus has suffered terribly. The Civil War had erupted alongside the Great War, Equestria facing a foe from the East and West. The South had fallen to chaos, and the North had suffered from Stalliongrad's and Sombra's pursuits.

Surrounded by villains, aggressors; Celestia knew that she could not carry on the way she was. Whether by choice or by circumstance, she unleashed a terrible power she swore never to release.

It is the year 1020. Equus is united under the Solar Empire's banner. The Elements of Harmony cannot stand a villain to replace their Princess. They flee East; where their over-sea neighbors anxiously plan what to do with such a crazed monarch across the water.

But while the light of hope fades, darkness instead takes upon the beacon of hope. A group of creatures have emerged from the shadows to bring back Harmony - or at the very least, peace to Equestria. Their names were never recorded. Their involvement in this attempt would never be noted anywhere. No medals, accolades, or respect was to be found. Upon death, their corpses were to be cremated. But their methods however - were completely unrestricted.

They were creatures not to be heroes. They were creatures not to be saviors. They were creatures with the task of fixing the world however they could.

And this is their story.
