The land of Equestria, the heart and soul of the world, has seen better days, in spite of the royal sisters and their shared subjects spreading their influences: the war they'd been fighting seven years ago had taken a toll on both the Crown and Country, so much so that even its champions, the Bearers of Harmony, have been severely affected; of course, their stories have been already told.

What had been untold up 'til now was the suffering of many others, common and otherwise: even in a time of peace, the pain of war is still recent on their minds, bodies, and souls, especially considering the devastation; even those undamaged have bore witness to the effects it had on both kith and kin, neighbors and strangers, countrymates and foreigners, hosts and guests, benefactors and recipients.

As with the many, regaining tranquility had become a central objective, especially in the eyes of those select denizens: a damaged magician, a troubled tenant, a lonely farmer, an aspiring cadet, a retired teacher, and a distraught mother; these are the lives and times of the broken individuals forever effected by the war.

In spite of their differences between one another keeping themselves apart, they were nearly destroyed years ago because of said war and the aftereffects that had followed it; as such, these are their stories.
