Harmony 6: The Coming of Nightmares

by CopperTop
The Harmony Project was the world's last, best hope, for peace. It failed. But, in the year of The Nightmare, it became something greater: their last, best hope, for victory. The year is 1259, the place...Harmony 6.

"The Harmony Project was our last, best hope, for peace. An island fortress, two miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy where all the creatures of the world could come together. A shining beacon upon the blue. It was the dawn of the Third Age of Ponykind...the year that The Nightmare came for us all. This is the story of the last of the Harmony fortresses. The year is 1259. The name of the place is: Harmony 6.”
-Twilight Sparkle, Commanding

In the aftermath of the Equestria-Zebrican War which saw ponykind pushed to the brink of annihilation, the decision was made to mitigate the potential for such catastrophe in the future. Enter: The Harmony Project. Equestria established a massive island fortress in neutral waters where the major powers of the world could meet and work out their differences amicably, in the hopes that future violence could be averted.

However, while ponies and zebras might not be at each others' throats any longer, the world is far from a peaceful place. The griffons seek to "reclaim their rightful place" and rebuild their once mighty empire. The dragons, finally free of their oppressors, seek to establish themselves as the major power they feel they are entitled to be. The other races squabble and bemoan past slights and grievances at every turn.

The prospect of another Great War feels as though it is just over the horizon, but Twilight Sparkle is determined to do whatever she must to keep it from happening. However, dark forces are moving against her, both in the world at large, and back home in Equestria. Whispers of prophecy and ill omens make their rounds, heralding the arrival of a new threat waiting for the right opportunity to make its move; and when it does, none will be safe...

Can Twilight Sparkle maintain the peace and see Harmony prevail? Or will her greatest Nightmares come to pass?
