The Elder Sign
An adventure of Lovecraftian scale! Emerald Shine's desire to meet Princess Luna drags him into a conspiracy involving the princess and his best friend Hex. Who are the Keepers of the Night, and what plans do they have in store for him?
Sometimes, you're not the special pony. Emerald is not the special pony. Between living with his dragon, being friends with an eccentric author, his job, life was not exciting. He dreamed of a different world, one where he was a hero, saving the princess and being rich and famous.
So when his friend ask him to go to the Grand Galloping Gala as his guest, he takes the offer. That's when things started to get interesting.
An odd letter. A death threat. A disgruntled officer. The name.
The Keepers of the Night.
For some, the Grand Galloping Gala is the best night ever. For Emerald, it was the beginning of his journey through a world that few ponies knew existed.
