From the desk of Princess Luna

To whom it may concern:

Greetings. I hope this letter finds you in health and good fortune.

If you are receiving this letter, a genealogist has determined that you are a descendant of my Royal Guardsponies from many years ago. As such, you have the opportunity to claim your birthright as a Noctral.

No doubt you have seen news of the fearsome bat-pony guardsmen that now appear in the night. It is no mistake that my Guardsponies appear different from my dear sister’s. Long ago, they were fearsome warriors, chosen for strength and skill, and transformed by magic to better protect Equestria and its citizens by moonlight.

The ponies within my ranks stand together as brother and sister. They are connected by an ancient magic, and by their ancestors' bond.

Now you, dear pony, have the opportunity to do the same. This is NOT an official royal summons. Instead, this is an invitation to come and witness. You are within your rights to decline, if you wish to do so. No communication of your declination is required.

If you wish to learn more, you may send a letter back to me, addressed to my office. You may also speak to me personally by attending the Night Court, where I speak. Night court begins at 11PM each weeknight, and ends at 4AM.

I am grateful for your time.

Signed,
Princess Luna
