Fallout Equestria: The Line

A scant two years ago the wasteland was saved when a small young mare named Littlepip activated the Gardens Of Equestria. Where once the land was dead and lifeless, infested with all sorts of raiders, thieves and other ne'er-do wells, Gardens was a colossal megaspell that sought to clean it all up.

It succeeded. Through arcane magic lost to time real green trees once again grew across Equestria. Verdant farmlands, rolling pastures of animals, azure skies and clear blue rivers. Equestria became a veritable paradise in the wastes. The only problem with Gardens was that it had a range. While Equestria rebuilds, other parts of Equus struggle. Where the ponies roam in a land of plenty, the world forgotten looks on in envy and anger.

Far to the West lies The Line. The old border between the Changeling Lands and Equestria proper, stretching from Vanhoover all the way to Acornage. Here, just beyond the border, numerous beasts and monsters and other horrible, intelligent things roam. They claw at the gates, begging for a slice of the Equestrian pie, locked into a prison of the what-was. They know that over the heavily guarded walls lies a land of infinite plenty, rife with riches. A gated paradise. A walled garden.

On that wall are the hoof full of ponies dedicated to keeping the greater Equestria safe. Volunteers known as ‘Linerunners’ patrol the walls and, the most dangerous monster hunters in Equestria, the ‘Waywatchers’, make sure nothing can get over it.

Things are unstable. There are fewer and fewer Linerunners to cover longer sections of the wall. On the radio, unsettling rumours of Waywatcher casualties are making their way back West..

The Line is changing. Ghoul ponies and free alicorns are an increasingly common sight: beings that need radiation to survive can find it here in plenty. Water caravans from the paradise out west seek irradiated water to slake their own ghoul and alicorn ponies. With the influx of new settlers comes opportunities, raiders, thieves, chancers, carpetbaggers and murderers. Here on The Line, ponies fight and die on the daily. They struggle, they overcome, they fail.

Because even if Equestria is changing?

War never changes.
