Old Summary
In a torn Equestria, a tense 'peace' hangs over the nation, ready to spill into chaos at any moment. Having claimed and rebuilt the Castle of the Two Sisters through a brutal and devious raid of the royal armory, Canterlot was left crippled; the Twin Queens, Queen Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon hold dominion over the newly revived Castle and its surrounding area, putting pressure on the nearby Ponyville.

Thestral Knights and Changling Warriors prowl these darkened lands, trapped in an eternal Dusk, as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna try to figure how best to retrieve the stolen artifacts, and return Day and Night to their stolen lands. Their own Royal Guards patrol their border, stationed around Ponyville. While skirmishes aren't uncommon, the situation could explode into full war at any moment.

Among these stolen magical tools, are the bones to an ancient bipedal species; from an ancient, warlike time, with skin resistant to magic, it could spell ruin for Equestria if returned. That is, if old, tattered legends are to be believed.

With a twisted, vile ritual, the Twin Queens combine their magic, that of Nightmare and Changling, siphoning power from several of the stolen artefacts to wrench this forgotten creature's soul from its afterlife, and bind it to life once more, bound in duty to them. Though through corrupting the Element of Loyalty to seal him under their cause, they may have bargained for more than they realized when they find themselves equally attached.
