Happy Hearth's Warming and Happy New Year!


Several days ago ponies across the country celebrated Hearth's Warming, an annual holiday commemorating the founding of Equestria. As is tradition, on Hearth Warming Eve ponies gathered to spectate theatre plays that re-enact the legendary establishment of the country, with the pageant in Canterlot being the largest. In the story, the three pony tribes, Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth ponies, live an uneasy existence together until a fearsome blizzard forces them to seek for a new homeland. However, the leaders of the tribes all claim the same land and argue with one another, causing the blizzard to appear again. According to the legend, the cold was caused by magical Windigos that feed on hatred. The tribal leaders are frozen in ice, but their assistants befriend one another and create the Fire of Friendship, a heart-shaped flame that expels the Windigos forever and melts the bodies and hearts of the tribal leaders. The three tribes then agree to share the new land, calling it Equestria. After the pageants, on Hearth's Warming Day, pony families enjoy delicious meals, exchange gifts and raise the flag of Equestria.

And now, the new year has come. Everypony on the streets are sharing an optimistic view on the future and wishing all strangers a happy new year, because nobody is actually a stranger in Equestria. The Princesses have given their traditional speech to the public as well, rejuvenating the spirit of Harmony and Unity throughout all of Equestria. No matter what will happen, the ponies know that as long as they work together, they can overcome any challenge.

Buffalo Problem


Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter has volunteered to go to the Buffalo as an envoy to broker an agreement between Equestria and the Buffalo. However, the risk of going alone into what probably qualifies as something close to hostile territory has given several senior military officers pause and they have directly petitioned the Crown to instead greenlight a full military 'intervention' to the Buffalo to end the problem once and for all. However, despite the Dotted Line Report, the optics of the Royal Guard engaging in what qualifies as an illegal occupation would give even the most hardened militarist in Equestria pause.

Of course, while a full military occupation and invasion would definitively solve the problem of the Buffalo once and for all, even at the cost of losing the moral high ground, an envoy opens the door to both peaceful coexistence and maybe even the integration of the buffalo into Equestria itself. There's just one problem with an envoy and diplomatic propositions and pressure. The Buffalos could always end up rejecting our advances which would leave us out of options, out of a solution and out of a good image. But ultimately, a solution must be taken. What should be our course of action?

The Dotted Line Report


A disturbing report has recently landed on the desk of Princess Celestia. Commissioned by the small bureaucracy, it has painted a grim picture of what would happen, were Equestria to find herself attacked by any enemies from beyond her borders.

The first part of the report focuses on Stalliongrad. While they have not been particularly keen on jumping across the border, whatever the rhetoric coming out of the Palace of Soviets says, were it to happen, the Royal Guard, with its less than 10,000 soldiers in the area would find itself swept away by the Red Army which, the report reckons would get as far as Albion and Trotsylvania before moving to threaten Manehattan.

Speaking of the Royal Guard, the report condemns the large cuts made to the Royal Guard over the recent years, blaming them for the near-defeat at Canterlot, using very unparliamentary language to describe the state of the Guard, recommending an immediate five-fold increase in budget.

Lastly, there's the biggest, and grimmest part of the report. The Changelings. Information is of course rare about them, and as such, the report makes it clear it's working off hearsay. But, this is the most damning part of it all. The report states that if a full Changeling invasion was to occur, Equestria would surely fall within two years of such an invasion, unless 'radical and controversial' measures were taken, including overhauling the whole state to mobilize all resources.

In addition to military matters, the report warns about the lack of innovation and economic development in recent years which has allowed other nations (such as the Changeling Lands) to catch up. It proposes large-scale industrial projects and education reforms to maintain Equestria's position as the most developed country in the world.

Despite the dire warnings made in the report regarding the risk of invasion, only the industrial and scientific parts of the report have been publicly stated to be put into effect. In private, however, Princess Celestia knows something must be done...

The Expansion of the School for Gifted Unicorns


Event trigger.png The below descriptions are available for this event.
The following description is used if:

  • Is event target equestria
It tended to be in the past that only those who could pull favours, had a lot of connection or were just plain lucky could attend the School for Gifted Unicorns. But no more is that the case. The cash injection that has been performed by the Crown has been immensely helpful in broadening the appeal and fields of the School for Gifted Unicorn. Having moved most of the facilities from the older, historical, if cramped quarters in the core of Canterlot to a more modernized place in the outskirts of Canterlot, the new sprawling campus will be able to more adequately handle the many breakthroughs and inventions that are being pumped out of Equestria's scientific community. Many of the new students and faculty have been some of Griffonia's brightest that have fled the political turmoil in Wingbardy and some parts of the Empire for more fertile lands. They have certainly found them here in Equestria.

The following description is used if:

  • Is event target solar_empire
In the past, it was all too often of an occurrence, that those of rich families simply used their family wealth to buy their foal a place in the school. Often this lead to students not valuing the opportunity to study there and as such lowered quality of the graduates. Furthermore, it has let moral rot seep into our society ever so slightly. This sets an undesirable precedent that our Empress can no longer tolerate. Today Her Imperial Majesty agreed to a proposal to fund the School for Gifted Unicorns from Imperial Treasury directly in form of annual cash injections. These new funds will be used to refurbish classrooms and other school facilities, as well as better equipment and supplies. This also gives the Crown more power and control over the curriculum of the school. Starting this semester, the school will besides be focusing on magic also teach religious and moral values. This will ensure that the next generation will grow into upstanding model citizens of society.''

Today, what was once a pipe dream in the minds of the researchers of the Luna Nova Academy has been made reality. Made possible with the massive injection of funds from the Crown, the Luna Nova Academy has moved from its older campus to the newer, more modern magically-powered campus. Housed in the old clocktower outside of Ponyville, the laboratories and study halls stretch deep underground, with several testing areas housed both above and below ground. With the new facilities, several old inventions which had been put in mothballs by lack of funds, facilities or both have been pulled out and begun field testing, and depending on what is chosen at the highest level, may see full-scale deployment within the year.

It is expected that the institution's patron, HM Princess Luna will make a visit to the place in the very near future.

The following description is used if:

  • Is event target solar_empire
Our most prestigious school, now renamed to a name more fitting of its status, has received the subsidies from Her Imperial Majesty. With these, they will be able to refurbish labs with new state-of-the-art equipment, increase the number of professors and their salaries as well as opening more places for talented ponies in [Root.GetName], who might have been dismissed due to capacity issues otherwise. Academy dormitories will also get its due expansions and renovations to make sure these students have a place to live and improve living standards. Lastly, Her Imperial Majesty did not make any demands per se. However, during her meeting with the Dean, she expressed her 'strong' desire to see more focus on magical theory and practice to raise better mages, not to forget the emphasis she made regarding technology, chemistry, physics and other natural sciences as well as focus on religious and ethical upbringing.''

Public Schools Funding


Even with the strengthening of higher learning, we must all remember that the ABC's and 123's come first. The overhaul of the public school system in Equestria has been long overdue, still teaching subjects and topics that have been mentioned as being outdated 'when Coltlumbus made landfall in New Mareland'. Hyperbole, to be sure, but a damning indictment of the state of education nonetheless before our reforms. The recent reform package that we have just rolled out into the school system has provided for a good and modern education for the fillies and colts of Equestria. When they go forth and receive new education, they will carry with them a new world in their hearts.

The Formation of the Urgent War Committee


With the Dotted Line Report being dusted off and now urgently read and studied with tensions rising both at home and abroad, Princess Celestia has ordered the formation of a committee to prepare for the storm ahead. While it is by no means certain that something will ever come of it, the Cabinet and several other prominent ponies with roles to play in an hypothetical war have secretly been recalled to Canterlot in order to draw up plans. Time of the essence, as a war has been judged to be near-forthcoming and if the predictions in the Dotted Line Report are to be avoided, then Equestria must truly take radical and controversial measures to survive the storm ahead.

Three separate lines of development are to be taken. To reform the bureaucracy and political system, to renovate the military and to reach out to form a broad coalition of ponies and creatures, whatever creed they may subscribe to.

The Expansion of the War Council


The War Council of Equestria has over the past many years been starved and gutted of funding and aid from the Crown due to the peaceful era that Equestria has experienced. But storm clouds have been gathering over the last five years and we can no longer afford to ignore the defence of the realm. The War Council has been expanded with several new ponies with relevant experience which shall serve as some of the top advisors to Princess Celestia for the time being. While some protests have been recorded amongst the established hierarchy as 'usurping the traditional levers of power', in public, all agree that it has been a necessary step if Equestria is to survive the storm ahead.

Several high-ranking military officers have been slated to join the Council in the near future, should the Crown call upon them.

An Appeal to Stalliongrad


With the war becoming ever more costly by the day, we must appeal for help from outside of Equestria and our nearest friends. With Queen Chrysalis on a hate-fuelled crusade to dominate and carve up all of Equus, all of ponykind is on the line. We must either hang together, or we will deservedly hang separately. Even if it will cost us, and will pain us to do so, we must go to Stalliongrad and ask them for help in this fight for life or death that we are embroiled in.

However, there is a vocal wing in the War Council that advocate not selling out thousands of ponies to live under Stalliongrad when it is very well possible that we can defeat the changelings ourselves. The choice of action has thusly ultimately fallen to the Crown. We can choose to ask, knowing that there will be a price, or we can bet on us being able to defeat the changelings by ourselves.

We have received word back from Stalliongrad through the intermediaries that we originally sent the message through. For now, they have agreed to our offer and thusly, we have pulled out of the region. With the conclusion of the temporary alliance for now, Stalliongradian reinforcements, consisting of what has been rumoured in certain diplomatic circles to be the bulk of the Red Army has boarded trains and is being hastened to the front. While they may be lesser in number, they are rested and ready for a fight.

Diplomatic Shelter


The rightful Queen of Olenia, Queen Velvet, for many years in exile in various countries around the world today arrived in Equestria on the ship HMS Canterlot. She was given a heroine's welcome in the city of Vanhoover, the largest Olenian community outside of the Kingdom proper. The city had long been a hotbed for resistance against Johan, both Legitimists favouring the restoration of Queen Velvet and communists favouring a restructuring along the lines of Stalliongrad. Common for both, however, is that she has long been a focal point for resistance against Johan, whatever their creed may be. Of course that is where the similarities end, but that's a matter for another time.

Queen Velvet has settled nicely into Vanhoover, having already begun advocating that Equestria should intervene in Olenia to restore 'rightful rule' to Olenia.

Accession of the Buffalo State


Today, the Buffalo have been integrated into Equestria as an 'autonomous region' where the Buffalo are to retain their own rules and tribes, but will have some restrictions placed upon them by Equestria, for example, the traditional use of geckos will not be allowed. In exchange, however, funding and other securities for the Buffalo will flood into their region. Some of this includes the oil fields and iron mines below the Buffalo region which Equestrian prospectors have been very eager to open up. With the strong guarantees by the Crown, this treaty is sure to give dividends for all.

Slowly Recovering


With the reforms and renovations of the political system, we are receiving reports that the conversion of the economy to a war-ready footing is making good progress. Wide-ranging changes are taking places in Equestria, with older methods and practices quickly being phased out in favour of the newer, more effective methods of work. The bureaucracy too is changing at a hasty pace, with legions of newly minted clerks delivering an effective and centralized governance from Canterlot. Even then, large amounts of institutional resistance to the reforms and the new systems remain within both the Civil Service as well as amongst private actors..

Magical Nuclear Weapons


With the war dragging on, our scientists have begun working on something that might break the impasse at the front. Based upon the theories of magical annihilation and the failed megaspells, the magi-nuclear principle would be able to harness all of the raw magical power inherent in the crystals used and unleash it by having it undergo an explosive, nuclear fission. Not all crystals can be used, and even then, massive amounts of raw magical power will need to be packed into any one device. But should we be able to produce such a weapon, it would be one of the most powerful and fearsome weapons ever created.

Almost Recovered


The second set of reforms pushed through has changed Equestria for good. The reforms, eradicating bloat where it can be found and establishing several new departments for the purpose of reorganizing Equestria into a modern state with a modern state apparatus, rather than a modern state with an obsolete bureaucracy. The factories are reporting ever higher production numbers, the Crown ever higher tax income. Indeed, Equestria is about to finally jump into a new era of governance. No longer is it a loose group of advisors that advice the Crown, but rather a set Cabinet that are appointed by the monarchs with specific portfolios.

Dragons Decline Ceding of Badlands


Dragons declined to cede Badlands, despite the land being too isolated to be of any effective use to them. Dragon Lord Ember decided to listen to her people pressuring her to decline our demand.

We should rethink our options on how to deal with the issue, even if they will end up being controversial on the home front.

Whatever his method of persuasion, he has managed to bring some very convincing arguments to the table.

Dragons Want War?


It seems the dragons felt insulted by our demand to cede Badlands. We have received a message by dragonfire saying that they will never cede Badlands peacefully. Almost immediately after, we received more reports of dragons strafing fields and villages in the Southeast. Of course, we were aware of their often so violent, uncouth and warlike minds, however, we didn't think they would go this far. To risk war over such an issue is simply unreasonable and in fact controversial by traditional morals. Perhaps ponies and dragons are too different after all to coexist peacefully. Yet if they want to do it this way, we will have to put an end to their raids by the only thing they seem to understand.

New Generals in the Military Staff


While we may believe in peace, friendship and harmony, we must recognize that we can't ignore our military. Our ideals must be fought for. Indeed, if we want to live peacefully, we must be ready to defend that peace. The Dotted Line Report made that very clear to us. But in this world, our current officer corps is not sufficient. If we find ourselves in a situation where we need to fight for our ideals, fight for harmony, we must be ready to meet that challenge. While we may have ponies like Prince Blueblood, or our rising star, Soarin, we must expand. While it may have been a strange measure, several of the Elements of Harmony, their friends and several other ponies have been reckoned to be prospective general officers and stand ready to serve their homeland in this time of need.

Stalliongradian Propaganda Campaign


Recently, our intelligence officers have been alarmed by an increased number of Stalliongradian agents spreading their propaganda among our people. While we generally stand for the free exchange of ideas between ponies and don't interfere with what ideas our ponies talk about as long as they don't pose a direct threat to our nation and way of life, perhaps we ought to take a different approach this time and crack down on them. While we do not know what consequences our decision may have on the populace, we shouldn't make our decision lightly.

Stalliongrad Sends Infiltrators


Our intelligence agents have managed to uncover a trail of evidence which led them to the conclusion that Stalliongrad had been infiltrating our society. They are spreading propaganda material among our little ponies and riling up the masses for their own devious end. We can only imagine the reason for this at the moment. Are they simply going to spread propaganda? Are they going to spy on us? Are they perhaps trying to instigate disobedience or the stars forbid a civil war? We need to decide how to deal with this issue quickly.

Communist Activity


After the socialist ponies were chased down by the Royal Guards during the Labour Day demonstration, political views of the left-wing ponies turned drastically radical. Many communist newspapers were founded, many communists conduct propaganda campaign on factories and in the countryside, thus the ranks of the Ponies Communist Party are replenished with more and more ponies.

Stalliongrad Demands Territory!


Stalliongrad's ambassador stationed at Canterlot has informed the Princesses of the demand his nation is pushing forward. They claim that after providing their help in the recent terrible war, they have the right to the territories they consider integral to their lands, south of the river border. Shall we grant their request? Stalliongrad has shown to be a reliable ally when we needed them most.

Stalliongrad Comes to Our Aid!


It was a surprise when Stalliongrad offered to aid us in the war against the Changelings. Despite the ideological differences between our two nations, the Changelings pose a threat to both of us. Queen Chrysalis has made no secret of h ambitions to dominate all of Equus. Despite some voices within the military and government, warning about a communist plot, it was decided in a meeting of the War Council today that we should accept this offer. An official telegram was sent back informing [From.GetName] of our decision. In the meantime, we should prepare for the arrival of Stalliongradian reinforcements that are hasting towards the frontline right now. Their armoured divisions should be of a great boon for us.

The Civil War is Over!


After too many months, this unfortunate civil war is finally over. This terrible conflict, pitting unicorn against unicorn, pegasus against pegasus and earth pony against earth pony has torn our nation apart. Many have lost faith in the Equestrian ideal of Harmony and Friendship and seceded. However, at last, the long nightmare is all over. The forces of Harmony have prevailed and so did our ideals with them. We should, however, not forget this conflict and what led to it. We should look to the future as we begin reconstruction and recovery. We will make sure to not repeat the mistakes of the past and make ourselves stronger. We will ensure that this will never repeat. Never again a civil war!

Princess Cadence was appointed by us to rule over the Crystal Empire and guide them towards the ideals of Harmony. During her reign, she has shown competence and righteous judgment against all. She has remained a loyal ally to us through all the storms and troubles we had faced. If the Princesses of Equestria could not even protect their own niece against enemies, no matter who they are.

After our occupation of the Crystal Empire, the Royal Guard has found Princess Cadence and her family in the deepest dungeon underneath the Royal Palace.

When the Diarchs heard the news, they have been said to be immensely relieved that their niece and her family was alive after so long without any contact. Perhaps this is cause for celebration?

Royal Family Returned!


Today, Princess Cadence and her family arrived in Canterlot. They were still visibly weakened from their time in the dungeons under the Crystal City but they have been recovering in private apartments in Canterlot. Both of Royal Sisters were there to welcome them in person as the train pulled into the station. A heartwarming reunion took place after weeks of fear and uncertainty about their fate and health. Several therapists and friends have paid them visits, both on their journey home, or has been rumoured to be visiting in the near future. It is yet unclear if they'll return to the north to rule over the Crystal Empire. In light of this joyous moment, a national holiday has been declared declared until the end of the week."

Buffaloes Request Solution


The Buffalo have sent an official appeal directly to Princess Celestia. They want her to decide who's right in the conflict surrounding economic affairs of [BUF.GetNameDef]. The ponies who's companies have been shut down are agitating their former workers to strike. They say the buffaloes are taking away their freedom, calling the buffalo government authoritarian and totalitarian. However, the buffaloes claim they are only protecting their independence and welfare of their citizens from Equestrian monopolies, that have recently started to extract oil in excessive amounts, using cheap buffalo labour.

With the chaos of the incident in Canterlot and 'Princess Luna's' flight to Manehattan, Equestria has erupted into conflict.

Celestia, usually one to lead and inspire her ponies, has apparently recluded herself to mourn, leaving the "Loyalist" administration to speak on her behalf and warn of Nightmare Moon's return.

'Luna' assails to airwaves, warning that Princess Celestia has transformed into a twisted mare of flame, and calling on all Harmonists and supporters of batpony equality to aid her.

Equestria and her subjects are divided. Shall we support Celestia or Luna? Or perhaps manage one of her subject states during these trying times?

The following description is used if:

  • None of:
    • Country flag nlr_early_discovery is set
The nation is in chaos. Broadcasts from Manehattan report of an assassination attempt on Princess Luna by anti-batpony groups, who were fought off successfully by batponies and local militias. 'Luna' has taken to the air, warning that Celestia has gone mad, attempting to oppose batpony equality and that as a result, she has had no choice but to assume governance.

Celestia and the Canterlot administration appear to have been taken totally off guard, as many awoke to find a well-coordinated change of power had taken place in many cities - government buildings occupied, soldiers receiving orders to defend Luna from terrorists, and objectors arrested.

Canterlot and the west remain controlled by Celestia, and as the reality of the situation sinks in, war appears inevitable. Equestria and her subjects are divided. Shall we support Celestia or Luna? Or perhaps manage one of her subject states during these trying times?''

After being seized by Nightmare Moon rebels, Baltimare saw a bloody revolt of worker ponies against the new regime. The ponies were led a revolutionary [BAL.GetLeader]. They bravely fought against the Disciples of Nightmare Moon alongside the supporters of Celestia, led by Daring Do. But the war is over and the question stands, whether they are becoming a part of Equestria again or remain independent. As always in such situations there are two options for us, take the state by force or organise a conference. Right now, they are improving their relations with Stalliongrad, and presumably, they will support Baltimare in case of war. We need to be careful.

New Name of Stalliongrad


Stalliongrad is a relatively new name for the old capital of Severyana, which was for centuries known as Princessyn. Officially, the city was never renamed anyways, as Equestria did not recognize the name change as legitimate. Therefore it would be relatively simple to just revert the change and call the city Princessyn again. Other alternative names have been proposed, however, so [EQS.GetLeader] should consider these options as well.

The Nightmare Moon Supporters


Shortly after the outbreak of war, lunarists occupied the entire south-eastern peninsula. However, Baltimare, Celestial State and Aztlan Free State were able to successfully push back lunar army regiments who have scattered into the jungles. They were eventually reorganised under the command of Stars Whirl, who has continued the war in the south against those who would dispute the Lunar Empire's claim to the region.

In this grave hour, perhaps the most fateful in our history, I send to every household of my ponies, both at home and overseas, this message, spoken with the same depth of feeling for each one of you as if I were able to cross your threshold and speak to you myself.

After the beginning of the civil war, the forces of Nightmare Moon took control of all southeast Equestria. However, many of the ponies were not delighted by this course of events. Organisations took up arms and began their struggle against the darkness. One of such formations was the so-called Celestial State, led by Daring Do who was thought to be a fictional character.

Ursa Major, Problem Minor


There was a time when everypony lived in awe of the great bears Ursa Minor and Ursa Major. These Bears, with a fur that mirrored the night sky could easily cleave a pony in half and even fought successfully against some of the most powerful unicorns Equestria had ever seen. However, the times of mythical power and wild beasts have, almost unnoticeably, come to a close in Equestria. Sword and staff have been replaced by rifle and howitzer and now a single pony can wield power that was unthinkable even a generation ago. But to fuel the fires of industry that make these marvels possible, clever ponies are always searching for new resources to exploit.

The search for new materials led a particular company to the ancient hiding places of the Ursae, in a region which was always thought off-limits to ponykind. In times past, claiming the ore-rich caverns that served as a home to the mythical bears would have been considered suicidal. Now, a few dozen hunters with high calibre rifles and explosives set out to clear the area. Carefully preparing their mines on an open field, the hunters made sure to leave nothing to chance. A spell was used to mimic the Ursa Minor's call for help, and the Majors, alarmed, rushed towards the sound. To call what ensued a battle would be too generous as the mythical beasts never even saw their attackers, before they were exterminated by the hunters' heavy weaponry.

The prospect of a new mine being opened was front-page news in the local paper the following day, with only the lamentations of an old editor on the fourth page reminding the readers that the time of magic was gone. The small column weight the comforts and safety of modern life against the adventure and mystery of the past, concluding that much was gained, but some things were also lost forever.

Farewell For Now


The small train station in Ponyville rarely had many ponies standing on the platform, but today it was more crowded than ever. Almost a hundred ponies had gathered there, half of them with heavy bags filled with food, tools and other supplies. Those would be necessary, for they were heading on a long journey, from which they may not return. The colourful Friendship Express whistled, signalling that it would soon depart. The mood was solemn and mournful; ponies were embracing each other, bidding farewell and crying.

They were going to war.

Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship, was there as well, as were her friends, the Elements of Harmony: Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. The last three had saddlebags and were preparing to depart.
"Well, I guess it's time to say good bye," Rainbow Dash said, breaking the silence. "The train's about to go."
Twilight sighed deeply. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I respect your bravery and your choice to face Chrysalis' army. But I'm worried. This is not like the other threats we've faced. This time, a small band of heroes can't save Equestria. And I want you to remember that. Don't try to be heroes. Stay safe, and don't take unnecessary risks. We all want you to return in one piece."
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "Yes Twilight, you've said that a dozen times. Don't worry, we'll be fine. We'll buck the changelings back across the border and be back home before Hearth's Warming Eve."
"But she's right, Rainbow," Fluttershy meekly said. "You need to be careful. War is... terrifying and dangerous."
"I'll make sure Rainbow doesn't get herself killed," Applejack said and grinned. "Dont'cha fear."
"And I don't even plan on fighting," Pinkie said cheerily. "I will provide moral support! Cakes and parties will make even the most grim soldier happy. And maybe I can convince the changelings that war isn't as fun as partying!"
Twilight smiled. "Alright. I trust you will be okay. We'll miss you."
The train whistled again.
"Oh, wait!" Rarity exclaimed. "I still have gifts to give!" She levitated clothing and blankets from her bags and gave them to the three departing friends. "I made fabulous uniforms and cozy blankets to keep you warm."
They thanked her and put the gifts in their bags. "Well, we really gotta go now," Rainbow said. "Hugs?" Pinkie asked.
The six ponies smiled and embraced each other with their wings and forelegs. "We'll be waiting for you," Twilight whispered, and a tear flowed down her cheek.

Magical Management


Spike, Twilight Sparkle's personal dragon assistant and adoptive little brother, had spent more and more time lately in the Crystal Empire where he was celebrated as a hero who had saved the nation from Sombra's return. Now he was back in Ponyville once more, worried about the burden the Great War had placed on the Princess. He entered the Castle of Friendship, whose hallways were empty. He headed to the library and his guess was proven correct: Twilight was there, absorbed in work. She was surrounded by books and notes and was frantically writing.
"Twilight?" He said, trying to get her attention. "I'm back from the Crystal Empire."
She snapped out of it and lifted her gaze from the papers. "Oh, Spike! Glad to see you. You came at a perfect time!" She levitated a scroll from her table into his claws. "Send this to Celestia. It's important."
Spike lifted a scaly brow. "Uh, sure." He breathed shining green flame which consumed the scroll, making it magically appear in Canterlot. "What was the scroll about?"
"A report on the research programs I've prepared for the magical experimentation departments in Bales, Stableside and Albion. They need her approval before the research can begin."
"What are they studying?"
"Weapons," she said casually and continued to work on her notes. "Crystal armaments, combat mage training, use of magic in industrial production. Anything that can help us win the war."
"I see." Spike walked closer to Twilight and looked at all the paperwork. "You know, you seem to be doing a good job managing all this. You're not too stressed out."
"Abyssinian coffee does wonders. But thanks, Spike."
"You know, maybe you could use your organization skills and leadership for managing the frontline? With your clever head, I'm sure we'd win in a month."
Twilight's quill stopped moving. She sighed. "I would rather not."
"Why? Would be more effective than trying to invent some miracle weapon. It's always been thanks to your leadership that we've kicked the butts of all those villains before."
"I-I don't want to have that responsibility now. It's not just six friends, it's millions of soldiers. A single mistake results in thousands of dead and wounded." She shut her eyes. "I don't want to bear that burden."
"Twi, you know... one day you won't have a choice. Celestia and Luna won't be princesses forever."
"I'm not ready yet. Just... not yet. Okay, Spike?"
Spike sighed. "Alright, fine. Do you need any more help?"
Twilight smiled. "Yes, actually. I'm happy you're here." She quickly embraced him with her wing before returning back to work.

A Brother's Bravery


"Ma'am, reinforcements have arrived," a pegasus mare told Applejack.
"Fantastic! Just when we need 'em. Sergeant, keep an eye on the enemy. I'll go meet the fresh blood." The soldier saluted her and she walked down the muddy trenches, navigating to the rear of the network. Near the underground barracks were a row of trucks, pony soldiers with clean uniforms jumping out of them. A thestral officer saw Applejack and greeted her. "Greetings, ma'am. We've come to patch up your ranks."
"Good, sir. They've been gettin' more and more sparse. The changelin' night raids are hard as Tartarus to repel." The batpony turned to his soldiers. "Atten-tion! Miss Applejack is here." They immediately went rigid, standing in a neat line. Applejack approached them and inspected them. "Youngins, I see. I hope they've gotten at least some trainin'," she mumbled. She stopped in front of a red earth pony stallion, her eyes widening. He was wearing Granny Smith's old helmet. "Big Mac? The heck are you doin' here?" she exclaimed. He remained characteristically silent for a moment. "I came here to make sure you're okay, ma'am." Applejack rolled her eyes. "So who's lookin' after the farm now?"
"Sugar Belle. Don't worry, ma'am." She snorted. "Alrighty then. But don't expect me to treat you differently just because you're my brother."
"Nope, ma'am."
Later that evening, the changelings launched a probing raid against the trenches, which they thought were depleted in defenders. Applejack quickly rallied the reinforcements, Big Macintosh among them, to prevent a breakthrough. There was brutal close-quarters combat and she had to crack the exoskeletons of several changelings with her strong hind legs. Big Mac tried to help, which didn't please her much. "Guard our rear, soldier. It's too dangerous here."
"Yup. Dangerous for you, too."
"I'll be fine! Now go, it was an order!" As she was shouting, Big Mac looked behind her and saw a changeling lying in the mud raise her head, her pistol glinting in the crimson light of a setting sun. "What're you lookin' at? Get goin'!" Applejack barked. Big Mac pushed her aside into the trench wall, and there was a loud bang. He collapsed onto the ground.
"Big Mac!" Applejack screamed, and saw the changeling with her smoking pistol. She let out a roar and leaped on her as she was trying to fly away with her broken wings, and began stomping her to death with her hooves. When the insectoid pony had stopped breathing, she rushed back to his brother who was already being treated by a medic. "I-Is he fine?" she asked.
"Y-yup," Big Mac weakly responded. "Sorry for savin' your life."
Applejack embraced him. "No, it's me who should be sayin' sorry."
"Ma'am, his chest is bleeding. I'd appreciate if you'd leave the hugging for later," the medic said.

Scars of War


Rainbow Dash had been away from combat ever since she had lost her left wing. Now she was glad to finally be back in action, commanding an air wing and training new pilots when she had time. One day, when refueling at an air base and chatting with ponies of the local garrison, she learned that Pinkie Pie was stationed nearby. She decided to go for a visit, even if it was technically unauthorized absence. So what, she thought, she was an element of harmony.
After asking various soldiers, she finally found the barracks where Pinkie was stationed. She imagined it was a real party house at this point, where Pinkie cheered up the soldiers after tough fights against the changelings. She was wrong. It seemed like an ordinary barracks, with all the bunk beds arrayed in neat order. For a moment she thought she was at the wrong place, but then she saw a pink pony lying on a bed. She barely recognized her.
"Pinkie?" she cautiously asked. The mare with a straight mane slowly turned to look at her, then her eyes widened slightly. "Oh, Rainbow Dash. Why are you here?" Rainbow was struck by how dour she sounded. The colours of her coat seemed muted as well. "Uh, I thought I'd come by for a visit, to see how you're doing. We haven't talked in a long time."
"Oh yes. You lost your wing, didn't you?" Rainbow extended her prosthetic metal wing. "Yep. But this new one is pretty rad, so I don't mind. Hurt like Tartarus at first but I'm getting used to it."
"That's good."
"Pinkie, is everything alright? Why aren't you... acting like yourself?" Pinkie breathed in deeply and closed her eyes. "I'm fine."
"I might've lost my wing, but I still have my eyes and I can see something is wrong. What happened?" Pinkie grimaced. "I guess I should tell you, even though I don't want to. A couple months ago I was holding a party for Maud's Rock Troopers. However, there were changeling infiltrators in the group, and they revealed themselves and started shooting." A concerned frown formed on Rainbow's face. "Oh no. And then what?"
She shrugged. "I did what I had to, out of fear and desperation. In the end, the changelings were dead, and the party was thoroughly pooped."
It was a typical Pinkie joke, but the delivery was so dry that even Rainbow wasn't amused. "That... sucks. I wish I could've been there to protect you."
"I don't need that anymore. I fight with Maud on the front. I haven't been in the mood for happy things after the incident."
Rainbow was speechless. "Pinkie, I—"
"I'm fine, like I said. Don't you worry. War isn't the place for laughter. But after it's over, everything will be fine again."
"Promise? I wanna to see you smile and hear you laugh. We can do our old pranks, maybe that will make you feel better." A faint smile appeared on Pinkie's lips. "Sure, Dashie."

Deus Ex Telum


Clothing design was Rarity's passion, that could not be debated. But after months of designing dull military uniforms with drab colours and directing their production en masse, she was growing tired of it. Occasionally, when she had precious free time, she'd try to design a beautiful dress for her own enjoyment, but oftentimes even that wasn't as satisfying as it had been before the war. So now, when she had a day off, she needed another distraction from the stress of war-time production. She decided to visit her friend Fluttershy, who had recently come to Canterlot, and headed to her apartment near the underground magi-nuclear research facility, her mind full of questions.

As soon as the door of her home was opened, the stench of animals filled Rarity's nostrils. Fluttershy greeted her warmly, not minding the odour as usual. "Oh, hi Rarity, good to see you! I hope you don't mind that I brought some friends along from Ponyville." A bear was sitting on the living room sofa.
"Uhm, no, not at all darling! Now, prepare some hot water. I'd like to drink tea and have a pleasant chat. We haven't seen in so long, goodness gracious!"
A toucan and a ferret prepared two cups of steaming tea. Fluttershy thanked the animals and they replied with cheery sounds.
"So, Fluttershy, first of all: What in Celestia's name are you doing in a magi-nuclear research facility?"
"Oh, erm, I know it seems strange, but as the Element of Kindness, I was asked to give ethical oversight to the development of magi-nuclear weapons. I accepted, because I think it's important they're developed, and are then used right."
Rarity raised an eyebrow. "You think it's important that they're developed? Aren't they... extremely potent, from what I've heard?"
"Oh, yes. That is the point. You see, their intent is to act as a deterrent and a threat. Once we have a working magi-nuclear bomb, Queen Chrysalis will be so scared that she will sue for peace for sure! And then no one else will ever threaten Equestria again."
"I cannot help but regard that as quite optimistic. Chrysalis seems very determined in her cause. Also, what if someone else develops such a weapon?"
Fluttershy smiled. "The day when two countries can annihilate each other in one second, all of the world, it is to be hoped, will recoil from war and discharge their troops. We will have world peace forever."
Rarity couldn't help but feel uneasy, and that this was going to end poorly. But she did not want to ruin the mood or insult Fluttershy. This seemed important to her. It was best to change the topic. "Well, I hope everything works out. So, who looks after your animal sanctuary?"

An 18-Carat Run of Bad Luck


There was a hesitant knock at [Root.GetLeader]'s chamber door. A group of bureaucrats nervously entered, looking very stressed and tired. "What's the problem?" she asked, looking at the ponies from her current reports and newspapers. The ponies seemed to reel back at her question.. "We are sorry, princess.. We have urgent news.." One of the ponies was shoved forward, holding a letter. [Root.GetLeader] took it, ripping the envelope open with one swift motion. Her face fell, and everypony in the room cowered. It was a letter from the Mayor of Las Pegasus, declaring that they were completely independent of this civil war, and had no intention of joining with either side.

Peace In Our Time


It was over.

Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Applejack all managed to get in the same train headed to Ponyville. The old Friendship Express had been destroyed by a changeling bombing raid, so they returned home on a repurposed cargo train. It wasn't a comfortable ride, but they were still happy because they were finally together again.
Rainbow broke the silence between them. "So, we won. How many changelings did you kill? I got 241, mostly from air combat."
"The heck? You kept count? Is everything a competition for you?" Applejack asked, appalled. "Anyhow, 242, mostly from close quarters combat, as my scars show."
Rainbow Dash chuckled. "Welp, better luck next time for me, I guess." She turned to Pinkie Pie, who still hadn't said anything. "Yo Pinkie, you alright? Remember what you promised to me. I miss your laugther."
She sighed. "Not now, Dashie. But maybe later."

The train whistled and arrived at Ponyville's station, or what remained of it after wartime bombing. The three mares left the carriage and were embraced by Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy, who were there to meet them. "I'm so happy to see you!" Twilight said and struggled to hold back tears. "You all made it back home in one piece."
"Rainbow didn't," Applejack said, grinned and poked her prosthetic metal wing.
"Oh, you three look so weary and battered, and your clothes are beginning to fall apart!" Rarity exclaimed.
"Well, you don't win wars by looking fancy," Rainbow said with a grin.
"What's wrong, Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked with concern in her voice. All five turned to look at her. Pinkie averted eye contact.
"Nothing. I'm glad to be back home. Even though it may not seem like it."
"You know, Pinkie," Twilight said, "Ponyville is preparing to hold a party to celebrate the end of the war. But I think they need someone to organize it."
"Aha."
"Wouldn't you like to do that, darling?" Rarity asked. "Maybe that would make you feel better."
Pinkie sighed. "Alright, fine. But I think I will need you guys to help. I've gotten a bit rusty. And... well, I'm not the same as I was."
Rainbow wrapped her metal wing around her. "Pinkie, we'll be with you, always. And we will do anything to make you happy again. Of course we'll help you with the party. No need to even ask such silly things."
Hesitantly, Pinkie hugged her back, then embraced her tight and began to cry. The rest joined the hug as well, reassuring Pinkie and reminding her that she was not alone, and that everything was going to be fine.

A Hearth's Warming Miracle


Recently, as pony soldiers on the front prepared to celebrate Hearth's Warming Eve, something strange happened. There have been reports that at one fortified position near the changeling frontline, some ponies climbed over the trench waving a white flag. Changelings honourably did not open fire and allowed the enemy soldiers to get near. The ponies then invited the changelings soldiers to celebrate Hearth's Warming with them in No Creature's Land. Surprisingly, some of the changelings, even a few officers, accepted the offer.

As the moon rose, the ponies and changelings drank cider and hot chocolate milk, sang carols and even played some hoofball. Soldiers casually chatted with each other, talking of their families and civilian lives, and telling traditional stories. Changelings of course do not celebrate pony holidays, but were very curious and seemed to enjoy it.

After reports of the incident spread, the high command on both sides reacted. The Equestrian army used this as a chance to show the value of friendship and that changelings were fighting against their will, using the opportunity to portray Chrysalis and her posse as warmongering tyrants. On the other side, the Queen was outraged by this and forbid any knowledge of it to spread, putting the nation's censorship bureaus to work. She then ordered capital punishment on every single soldier and officer who had taken part in the "treachery". However, some of the changelings managed to desert and escape, being welcomed warmly by Equestrian soldiers. They are now prisoners of war but are treated well.

The Grand Equestria Pony Summit


Her Majesty Princess Celestia has once more decided to convene the Grand Equestria Pony Summit, summoning delegates from every city of the country to Canterlot. She was encouraged to hold the event by Princess Luna so various disputes could be resolved before they reached a boiling point. Princess Twilight Sparkle was once again responsible for organizing the event. The last summit held in 1005 had almost been an embarrasing fiasco, so extra precautions were made to ensure everything would go smoothly. This time there would be no giant gemstone statue due to the last summit's incident.

The summit ended up being almost as large as the last one, with delegates from over fifty cities and towns arriving in the capital. There were three days of conferences, receptions and meetings, with Princesses attending them actively. Representatives spoke openly of issues in their home towns: Mayor Ash Moustache's delegate from Baltimare spoke of issues with integrating the local thestral minority and the rising influence of anarcho-syndicalist CAN-TER, Mayor Goldwin's delegate from Vanhoover said something had to be done about Stalliongradian infiltration of the navy stationed in the city, Mayor Rokenhar's delegate from Las Pegasus spoke of the corruption and greed of local companies while representatives of other south-western cities complained of neglect from the central government. Most ominously, the delegate from Acornage warned of ever-growing Changeling military activity on the border. The Princesses took note of all the issues and promised that they would be taken care of.

The rest of the summit was spent making trade deals, celebrating the local cultures of Equestria's numerous cities, holding speeches on matters of economy and politics and discussing the events of the world at large. At the end of the event, Princess Celestia held a speech thanking everypony for coming all the way to Canterlot and said that as long as the cities of Equestria worked together in harmony, the country as a whole would have a bright and prosperous future.

Princess Twilight Sparkle looked over the reports she had laid out on the desk before her, a look of heavy concern plastered on her face. After Nightmare Moon has risen once again and plunged Equestria into a full civil war, Twilight had volunteered to help in some of the more administrative tasks involving the military. That meant filing through all the reports that the army was sending back to Canterlot, and more than a few of them didn't paint a good picture of what was going on, especially in the high command.

Putting it straight, Luna's fall had torn a hole in the general staff. Prince Blueblood was surprisingly performing much better at his role than Twilight has expected, but it was still clear that he couldn't lead the entire Equestrian Army. They needed somepony to fill the place that the Princess of the Night had left, at least until a more permanent replacement could be found. But who could possibly do that? It was clear the generals didn't know, since all the reports were just blaming Blueblood when he just couldn't do everything at once. Twilight needed to figure it out, and soon.

And then it came to her. There was one pony she knew who could help. It had been a long time since they had last seen each other, and frankly Twilight had no idea what she was up to now. But even with all that, Twilight was sure that she would still answer her call, and hopefully agree to help Equestria in its darkest hour. She was the best fit for the pony that they needed.

But first... Twilight levitated a large book from a drawer and opened it to the newest blank page. It was time to write a letter.

End of a Journey


"Hey, Princess Twilight. Been a while since I've seen you around."

Twilight let the yellow unicorn into her room within her castle, closing the door behind her. "It's so nice to see you again, Sunset," Twilight said, taking a seat in one of the open chairs. "I mean, the last time I saw you..."

"Yeah, I know. Not one of my best moments." Sunset took a seat across from Twilight, noticing a glass already in front of her. "Tea? Should have known you'd already have it ready for me."

Twilight nodded with a slight smile before taking a sip. "So, how things been going for you?"

She gave a small laugh. "Fine, I guess. Though we both know you wouldn't send a message calling me here if you didn't need me for something." Sunset put down her teacup and sighed. "Guess I better tell my friends that I'll be gone for a while, since I'm guessing it's related to how Equestria is... in a bit of trouble right now."

Twilight nodded. "You're right, and that's exactly why I'm here. You're the only one I know who could help."

"Alright, just tell me. Do you need me to help Equestria win?"

"Yes. Princess Luna turning into Nightmare Moon has left the Equestrian high command in disarray, and Prince Blueblood can't lead the army by himself. Somepony else needs to help lead, and I know you learned a lot from your long time in the mirror world-"

"Whoa, slow down," Sunset said, putting her hooves out. "I'm honored, Twilight, but are you sure that you want me leading an army? It's not like I've been doing that back with my friends, and it still hasn't even been that long since I stole your Element of Magic-"

The alicorn reached across the table and held one of Sunset's hooves. "Sunset. I know this is sudden, but I need you. Equestria needs you! Nightmare Moon and her followers are killing ponies as we speak, and the longer this civil war goes on..." Twilight trailed off for a moment. "I don't know how much more Equestria, or Princess Celestia can take."

Silence held in the air for a few moments while the two ponies stared at each other. Then, letting go of Twilight, Sunset got off her chair and stood up. "Alright, Twilight," she said, a familiar gleam in her eyes. "I'm in. Just tell me what you need me to do."

A New Beginning


In a cafe within Canterlot, two mares sat at a table across from each other, each with a cup of coffee. Much like the other patrons there, they talked while slowly enjoying their drinks, most ponies not even noticing them. The few that did, however, couldn't help but stare or at least occasionally glance at the pair enjoying their day.

After all, it wasn't often that a pony got to see a Princess of Equestria and one of the highest ranking officers of the Equestrian Army.

"I'm so glad we could both find time out of our schedule to meet here," Twilight said to Sunset, who nodded wordlessly. "I wanted to see you more often after we met in the castle, but with the war I was just too busy to even get a chance!"

"Same," Sunset agreed, putting down her coffee. "Nightmare Moon and her forces never took breaks, and neither could we. Prince Blueblood and I had contests on who could pull longer all-nighters." She leaned in conspiratorially. "I think he might be jealous on how I won all the time."

They both shared a laugh. "Sunset, you know you don't have to keep doing this if you don't want to, right?" Twilight suddenly asked, her face more serious. "I know I put a lot on you, asking you to fill Luna's old role, but now that we've defeated Nightmare Moon you can always go back to your old friends. I mean, I don't want you to feel like you have to do this for me or anything-"

"Twilight." The Princess paused to look at her friend, who was staring at her. "Don't worry about it. Telling the truth, I was getting a little bored back there. I've already sent them a note letting them know I'll be staying here for a while longer, and they're doing fine without me." Suddenly, Sunset smirked. "Besides, it's nice knowing I've probably saved Equestria more times than you have by now."

Twilight reached over to punch Sunset's shoulder before the two laughed again. "Well, as long as you want to stay here," Twilight said, her spirit much lighter again.

Sunset nodded, right before she got a devious look, one that Twilight was almost afraid of. "Hey, since you said I'm taking Luna's place, do you think I'll get to become an alicorn too?" Sunset asked in a clearly teasing tone. "I know I don't exactly have the most moon-related cutie mark, but I think I could do a pretty good job with this whole "protecting ponies' dreams" thing."

Now it was Twilight's turn to smirk, barely keeping a full smile off her face.

The Former Student


"Princess, somepony is requesting an audience with you. She says she knows you."

Celestia broke out of the distracted trance she was in, turning her attention back to the present. The war was not going well for Equestria, or for her ponies. The enemy was being relentless in their assaults, overrunning any defense Equestria could muster. Luna and Blueblood were doing their best, but it still wasn't enough to stop the advance. And all Celestia could do was watch from Canterlot, and lead her ponies from her throne while they fought and died for her and Equestria on the front lines...

But that wasn't what she needed to focus on at the moment. "Let her in," Celestia said, wondering who it could be. She knew many ponies in Canterlot, but the guards knew most of their names. So who was left that they would not know but she would?

That answer soon came when the doors across the room opened, and a yellow unicorn mare entered. Celestia's breath still caught in her throat for a moment when she recognized who it was, despite having seen her before not too long ago; her former student.

"Princess Celestia, I know it must be a bit of a surprise to see me here," Sunset Shimmer said as she walked forward, determined but still respectful. "But I found out what's happened. How Equestria is in danger, and not just from some magical creature this time."

Celestia remained silent as Sunset continued. "When Twilight first chased after me into the other world, I didn't come back with her because I was too scared to face you. I had hated you for so long, I didn't know what else to do. And I knew I should have come back to apologize then, to ask for your forgiveness, but I couldn't bring myself to come back to Canterlot." Sunset took a deep breath. "So I stayed instead. I made new friends, went on new adventures, learned new lessons I never would have if I hadn't jumped through the portal all those years ago. Even after I came back, I had hoped that I could find a new life there and be a hero just like Twilight."

Suddenly, her voice became much clearer and steady. "Now though, I realize that it isn't there that I'm needed anymore, but here. Equestria is in trouble, and everypony needs to do their part. So that's why I'm here, to ask for you to allow me to help in any way I can."

Celestia did not say anything. Instead, she got up from her throne and walked down towards Sunset, never breaking eye contact. With every step the unicorn's confidence faltered, but she remained resolute when the Princess finally reached her. Sunset blinked as Celestia laid a hoof on her, before she pulled her former student into an embrace.

"Thank you, Sunset Shimmer," she said. And almost immediately, the unicorn returned the hug in kind.

Starlight Glimmer fidgeted in the presence of her teacher. She was grateful to Twilight, for everything, but it was still awkward to ask her for things.

"I'm sorry!" Starlight finally blurted out, interrupting Twilight's story about the Cutie Mark Crusaders latest exploits. Twilight blinked. "What are you sorry about?"

"I helped Stalliongrad."
"What do you mean?"
"Remember my village? I did all that with Stalliongrad's help. They helped me set it up as a kind of experiment. And they let me keep going, even when I started brainwashing ponies... I should have known that they'd attack Equestria one day. I should have warned you, I should have stopped them, and now ponies are dying and I want to help but I don't know how and I should have, I should have-"

Twilight wrapped a wing around Starlight as she started hyperventilating. "I'm proud of you for how far you've come, Starlight. You don't need to beat yourself up that you didn't do more."

Starlight looked up at Twilight. "I'm glad you want to help though," said the princess, "You really are a talented unicorn, and if you want to help us fight off Stalliongrad..."

"Will anypony accept me? After what I did?"

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that," Twilight reassured her, "Princess Luna is a Field Marshal, and she was quite the villain once! So was Sunset actually... and Fizzlepop, she's a general. Actually, now that I think about it... hmm. Anyways, I'll talk to Luna and Celestia, I'm sure they'll be thrilled to give you a commission."

Questions


Yelling. Questions. Noise. Anger.

Luna backed away from the podium, her legs threatening to give. She fell back on Royal habits. "SILENCE!" The room fell quiet. "I... I... will take some questions... please raise your hooves... yes, you."

"Canterlot Chronicles, these reforms will surely be controversial, have you consulted with the public on this?"

"Well... I... ummm..."

"Phillydelphia Enquirer, shouldn't we have a say on allowing new races into Equestrian society?"

"Yes, but..."

"Canterlot News Network, does Celestia not support these reforms, why isn't she here?"

"Well that's not...."

Luna began to panic "Everyone! Of course I value everyone's opinion. I wouldn't force you. We will... umm... have a referendum! Yes, a referendum about accepting thestrals as the fourth tribe... Thank you, no more questions please!"

Luna fled the room.

Luna purpled and the stars in her mane grew into angry pinpricks. "How can you say that, Celestia? I failed them! You... you failed them too! What have you done in your millennium for them but pretend they don't exist?! I didn't come here to ask your permission, I came to tell you my decision. I'll fix this problem, with or without your support!"

A Modest Proposal


Celestia frowned, flipping through the reports of missing weapons shipments. She started in surprise as Luna entered.

Luna looked serious. "Celestia, I've stayed behind the scenes since my return. I... I believe it's time for me to step up and take more responsibility."

Celestia froze. Was Luna ready? Yes, of course, she thought, chiding her internal hesitation. "That sounds wonderful, Luna. We were meant to rule together. Did you have something in mind?"

Luna nodded, her throat catching "The Thestrals... it isn't right, 'Tia! Equestria doesn't just have three tribes. Thestrals shouldn't be shunned, but welcomed as the fourth tribe!" Celestia raised her hoof to object but Luna continued: "I know they don't even want to be 'Equestrian', especially with all the unpleasantness after, well...you know. But... they were my little ponies, and I failed them." Her voice dropped to a whisper "I failed them, Celestia. I need to make it right. Equestria should be a friendly home to everypony."

Of course it would be this, Celestia thought. The batponies had hardly been willing to join the Three Tribes after their Princess was banished to the moon, and even after Luna's return they were suspicious.

But the batponies weren't the real problem. It was the Equestrians. A small horse is easy prey at night, and something about the night loving bats seemed to instil fear and mistrust even amongst many. When Nightmare Moon rose, terrified ponies attacked batponies and drove them into the mountains. Ancient prejudices still lingered.

The Princess's Speech


The Canterlot Auditorium began to slowly fill with journalists, members of the high society, and curious citizens. Luna stood backstage, steadying her nerves. This... This had seemed a lot easier in her head. Her stomach lurched, and her legs trembled. She tried to visualise her batponies - they needed her help.

She took a breath, marched onto the stage and began to speak. Nervously. Haltingly. But not stopping. Of the plight of the batponies, and her planned reforms - laws, education, investments, administrative changes, but most importantly, a change in the hearts of the citizens of Equestria.

Twilight had told her that good speeches have a memorable conclusion, so Luna made sure to save the best for last. "... and so, as these reforms come to pass, we shall invite the Thestrals to become the Fourth Tribe of Equestria!".

Luna sighed in relief. It was done. "Questions, anypony?"

Luna collapsed, sobbing. A referendum? What had she been thinking?! And if she lost? She may be able to pass laws as she please, but not after agreeing to hold a referendum on the issue. She had hoped to give the batponies hope, but instead had only stolen it from them.

She was weak... she needed strength... No! That was the old Luna.

She took a deep breath and stood, calming herself. She needed the support of her fellow ponies. With cooperation and friendship, anything was possible.

The Canterlot bureaucracy sprang into action. A campaign activist was not a common request for an absolute monarch, but they knew how to find the right pony for the right job.

Within days Luna was introduced to a team of batpony sympathisers and experienced organisers, including a PR firm kindly provided by the sympathetic mayor of Manehattan.

They moved rapidly, planning volunteer recruitment, key messaging, rallies, and advertising campaigns. Luna's anxieties eased. These ponies understood this new world. They knew how to transform will into power.

But it was the activists who most transfixed Luna. They looked at her with awe, and spoke passionately of their desire for change, whether motivated by abstract principle or personal experience.

They believed in themselves, not because they knew it would work out, but because every change must begin with hope. Luna felt suddenly ashamed of her despair after her speech. These ponies had no great magic powers, no divine right to rule, yet believed in themselves with nothing but a kind heart and a goal. Luna would follow their example.

Rarity trailed suitcases through the halls of Canterlot. Luna had summoned them, and the Map chose Rarity. A delicate Canterlot problem called for a delicate Canterlot pony.

"Luna, darling, you of all ponies know that the love ponies feel can't be made from commands and force! Making these reforms is just the start of the fix, you've started the discussion amongst ponykind we needed, and now we must win their hearts! You, Luna, are just the mare to do it! "

Luna spluttered on her tea "Me? My speech was a disaster. I've only worsened things for the batponies."

"Oh pish! I've worked in Canterlot for years, and you have that earnest sincerity that even Princess Celestia herself lacks!" A smile crept on her face. "Yes, we could see your fear, but also your honesty, your passion, your courage! They all shone through!" She gave Luna a businessmare's look. "Now now, I won't tolerate you being glum any longer. We'll win this referendum, and I know ponies plenty to help us in Canterlot. We shall kindle the kindness of ponykind!"

Luna took a shuddering breath and nodded. If only she had such a friend before she became Nightmare Moon. "I will do whatever it takes, Rarity."

"Wonderful, darling! Now, we must get you a new dress to wear, something that shines like the stars in your mane..."''

A Strange Dream


Misty Night often dreamed. Of friendship, of purpose, excitement. Everything missing from her daily life. But today, her dream was different. She sat outside the city at night, watching the stars.

The stars suddenly flickered as something flew towards her! She shrieked, backing away as a large, inky black alicorn faced her.

Absolute terror filled her as Nightmare Moon stood in front of her - the ancient monster of Luna's corruption!

"Misty Night. I have need of you." Nightmare Moon lilted. The voice was strangely compelling, and she stared into Nightmare's slitted pupils, losing herself in the infinite abyss of the night.

Misty relaxed, wondering why she was so frightened of Night... frightened of Luna? Luna sometimes visited the dreams of ponies, and her eyes were so beautiful.

"I have need of you Misty. I need heroes, disciples, like yourself." Misty's heart lept. A Disciple of the Princess? A hero? She would do anything for Luna. But... had she forgotten something? She tried to remember.

Luna moved closer, "Look at me, Misty and listen to my voice. You must remember my instructions..."

The next evening, Misty slipped out of her house, heading for...

They relaxed, rifles lowering. "Don't surprise us like that!" A few ponies and... a batpony? Despite the night, their eyes gleamed with a strange light. Pony or batpony, these ponies served Luna just as she did. "Welcome rookie. Luna needs our help. Here's the plan..."

An hour later, three trucks rumbled down the road, approaching the gate to the base. Misty rolled down the window, as spotlights lit her face and a guard approached. "I'm here for the monthly Las Pegasus delivery."

The guard frowned. "I thought that wasn't coming until morning? What's the password?"

"36 Charlie November" She replied.

The guard paused "That's one of the old Royal Canterlot passwords..."

In the back, her friends readied their guns.

The guard tut-tutted at her "With the recent thefts we're shifting to local codes. Remember that next time, ok?"

She relaxed as they waved them through. They would take these weapons, distribute them to Luna's friends, and they would train.

The Disciples of Luna would be ready.

Rain beat heavily on the docks as Misty approached a huddled group of ponies. Fellow dreamers, their eyes gleamed just as hers did. One nodded as she approached. "Another friend of Luna, I see. You ok with getting your hooves dirty?"

Misty nodded eagerly. The leader pointed ahead. "See this warehouse? Not military. Guards are too suspicious these days. But this? Civilian private security. For frontier and jungle towns. Loaded with all sorts of equipment for defending from wild beasties like manticores and dragons."

Misty was confused "Shouldn't the Equestrian army be doing that sort of work?"

"They used to, but with the Changeling threat more and more resources are being pulled elsewhere. And we can reap the benefits. Let's go."

Two hours later and safely away, the group eagerly sorted through their haul. Rifles, nets, lures, explosives, magical shields and potions. The anti-dragon rifles met murmurred approval - a weapon that could pierce dragonscale could pierce steel too.

Fighting creatures was not too different from fighting ponies, Misty reflected. They would take these weapons, distribute them to Luna's friends, and they would train.

The Disciples of Luna would be ready.

Misty crept towards a crumbled stone castle, left from the earlier days of Equestria. Under a hollowed section of wall, a group of ponies spoke, huddling around a campfire.

They fell silent as she approached, calling a greeting."Hello, what can we do for you? And uh, don't mind our batpony friend here, he's just passing through"

She eyed the batpony. Luna's favoured, to be valued, not feared. She replied with a smile. "Its dark out, isn't it?"

The group relaxed. "Well, another one! Welcome friend, to the Disciples of Luna."

Eyes shone with the same determination as her own - they understood what needed to be done.

Well, nearly all eyes. Up the back, a nervous pony spoke "Anyway, before I headed off, I just wanted to say - I'm overwhelmed at the recent support you've been providing to the batpony movement, but I don't understand why the secrecy and all these donations of hunting rifles? Surely the focus should be on the referendum, not getting more guns..." He glanced hopefully at Misty, as if she might speak up in his favour. She said nothing.

Instead, the batpony gazed levelly in response "If you were a thestral, you'd know why you can't depend on Canterlot for safety."

The pony crumpled. "I'm sorry... I didn't mean... Anyway, thank you all. I'll get in touch again!" He hurried off.

The batpony laughed "Now that the fool is gone, we can start the real work." He looked around "Some of our friends have acquired weapons, and equipment. We will train hard. All of us must be ready."''

The Campaign Continues...


Event trigger.png The below descriptions are available for this event.
The following description is used if:

  • Country flag luna_nlr_staff is set
Luna stood in front of the Manehattan City Hall, nervous but determined. Ponies waved banners and cheered, as her organisers carefully choreographed lighting and music for effect. Luna focused on her anger. It helped squash the nervousness.

"Today, batponies live in squalor in caves or slums, separated from the rest of ponykind! Equestria, is this Friendship?"
"NO!" the crowd yelled.

"Today, a batpony mother cries, her foal sick because Equestrian doctors do not know how to treat batponies! Equestria, is this Friendship?"
"NO!" the crowd yelled.

"Today, a batpony intending to come to this rally was stopped and inspected by guards, suspected of being a Nightmare Moon cultist. But she was innocent! Equestria, is this Friendship?"

The crowd watched as organisers helped a young batpony onto the stage, who was almost in tears.

"I've never done anything wrong in my life... I don't deserve to be treated this way!"

"EQUESTRIA. IS THIS FRIENDSHIP?" Luna shouted in her Royal Voice.

"NO!" The crowd thundered with the same fury that coursed through Luna. It had but to be directed.

"I stand before you and ask your aid not as a Princess, but as a pony! I once made the mistake of commanding Friendship! Friendship is freely chosen! It cannot be ordered! I need your help, Manehattan! Will you help me? I ask everypony to join, to donate, to organise with me. We must..."

The following description is used if:

  • Global flag luna_nlr_friend is set
Luna stood in the Manehattan Auditorium, resplendent in a shimmering dress of gravitas and mystery. The city's most influential crowded in. Rarity's contacts had worked wonders. "Show them your true strength, darling."

Luna nodded to Rarity and stepped onto the stage. She wanted to tremble and collapse, but remembered even if she failed, she would still have a friend.

"My little ponies. For millennia, Equestria has been a land of Friendship. It was Friendship that drove the Windigoes out, that bonded the three tribes into the nation of Equestria, and that saved me from my insanity.

"Today, Friendship has saved us from Tirek, from Discord, from Queen Chrysalis. It is thanks to Friendship I have the strength to stand here today.

When batponies are accused of being Nightmare Moon cultists, where is our honesty?
When they are shunned from mainstream society, where is our kindness?
When we hoard the bounty and wealth of the new age, where is our generosity?
When we turn away those who once lived among us, where is our loyalty?
When we cringe in fear rather than smile as friends, where is our laughter?

Luna gazed around the room, regal and confident. The room hung on her every word.

"This is not Friendship! Yet some would call it so. I ask the ponies of Manehattan for help. We must hold true to our values before the Magic of Friendship is lost! Across the nation, we must organise to..."''

The Manehattan Project

  • Country flag NLR_sympathizers_radical is set
Flowing Current shared Luna's fury as he left the speech. The young ponies of Manehattan had been filled with new ideas and new energy. How could they not support this change, that was long overdue?

He headed for his regular drinking spot, a small pub where his EEEE! (Equestrian Equality, Empathy, and Education!) activist group had weekly meetups. The building overflowed with ponies and righteous rage, eager to help and contribute. Flowing Current could barely keep it all organised, matching ponies to tasks that would suit their special talents. Within an hour, they had made as much progress as a year of fruitless intellectual debates.

But it wasn't enough. Soon the talk became aggressive. One pony, their eyes glowing with a strange determination, spoke of emulating survivalists who armed for disaster. Others suggested vigilante groups targeting those who opposed thestral integration. Some began denouncing Celestia. What had she done for a millennium about batponies? Why wasn't she supporting Luna?

Current flowed with the rage, directing and organising it with precision.

He wished he had more time to give - but he had his job at the power station. Instead, he worked long into the night. Once, Luna had mourned that ponies slept through her beautiful night. But in the city that never slept, Luna had many friends.

He headed for his regular drinking spot, a small pub where his EEEE! (Equestrian Equality, Empathy, and Education!) activist group had weekly meetups. The building was filled with both ponies and ambition. Flowing Current worked to keep it all organised, matching ponies to tasks that would suit their special talents. Donors who could make money talk, workers who could evangelise to their colleagues, writers to churn out editorials, students working evenings, musicians publishing songs.

Luna's call for Friendship had changed something. How long had they spent on longwinded intellectual debates? Equestria was a land of Friendship, and that was how they would change the world.

Ponies talked cheerfully of their goals - to change the mind of a friend or family member, to not stay silent when they saw wrong, to visit isolated Thestral communities and organise exchange programs. But most importantly to be the kind of ponies that Luna wanted.

Meanwhile, in the Mountains....


Evening fell across the land as batponies huddled eagerly around the village radio, squeaking curiously as Luna's voice carried through the air "....is this Friendship? NO!". Flapping her tiny wings, Night Blossom around hopped excitedly. "Mama, mama, the Princess is talking about us!"

Dusk Horizons nodded patiently "Yes she is."

"But why? Why don't the other ponies want to be our friends? Why is Luna helping us?"

Dusk Horizons sighed. "Over 1000 years ago, Luna was our Princess. She lived at night as we do and made the night wonderful. She loved us, and we loved her. But we didn't tell her. We complained about the other ponies instead, about how mean they were. They didn't like our night, or our bat wings. And Luna grew lonely and sad. Because we failed her, she transformed into Nightmare Moon for a long time, becoming angry and evil. The ponies got very scared of the night after that and chased us into the mountains, where we have stayed ever since."

Night Blossom's face scrunched up, considering this. "We should help Luna then! I wanna go see the Princess!" She continued to bounce and squeak at the notion, making short, gliding hops. Soon, Dusk thought, she would be able to properly fly at night.

The door opened, and a sombre looking batpony entered. He dumped his pack and rifle at the door, collapsing into a couch.

"How did the meeting go, Silent? What did the clans decide to do about Luna?" Dusk asked.

Silent Peaks nodded. "We decided to..."

Silent Peaks nodded. "We decided to mobilise the clans for action. Groups will be moving into cities to help with Luna's rallies. Some of us will be guarding the others" —he glanced to his rifle— "Myself included. And some of us will be preparing for the worst."

Dusk flinched. "Is it really that bad?"

"Something is wrong, Dusk. Some of our ponies are having dreams of Luna. But she seems off. We think she's in trouble. Pony groups in the cities have been working to funnel us weapons. Modern Equestrian models. If there is trouble, we'll be ready."

Night Blossom began to demand attention "You're helping Luna? Can we go to the city! I want to see her!"

Silent considered "It would be good for you to meet our Princess. Yes, you can go with your mother. But if anything happens, you must do exactly what she says."

Night Blossom leaped in delight, making another attempted flight, knocking over a chair in the process. "LUUUNA, LUUUUNA, LUUUNA!"

Silent turned back to Dusk. "We can't fail her again. We've paid for our mistake for a thousand years. Never again."

Throughout the night, keening "EEEEEEEEE"s rang. The batponies readied, for better or worse.

The following description is used if:

  • Country flag NLR_batpony_family_moderate is set
Silent Peaks nodded. "Of course we will be there for her. We will stand by her and show Equestrians we do the same." he glanced to his rifle. "And just to be safe, the mountain holds will prepare in other ways."

Dusk flinched. "Is it really that bad?"

"Maybe. Some of our ponies are having strange dreams. Luna seems very stressed. We've been receiving new weapons shipments from well wishers in Equestria. If something bad happened, we could intervene or hide out here."

Night Blossom began to demand attention "You're helping Luna? Can we go to the city! I want to see her!"

Silent considered "It would be good for you to meet our Princess. Yes, you can go with your mother, but be on your best behaviour!"

Night Blossom leaped in delight, making another attempted flight, knocking over a chair in the process. "LUUUNAAAA, LUUUNAAAA, LUUUNAAAA!"

Silent turned back to Dusk. "We can't fail her again. We've paid for our mistake for a thousand years. Never again."

Bags were packed, wings stretched. The bats were going to Manehattan.

Silent Peaks nodded. "We need to support Luna but being too blatant will only drive Equestrians away. Its ultimately our shared decision, we can't make it alone. It may be foolish, but... I believe the ponies of Equestria will do the right thing." He glanced to his rifle. "And just to be safe, the mountain holds will prepare."

Dusk flinched. "Is it really necessary?"

"Unlikely, but... Some of our ponies are having strange dreams. Luna seems very stressed. We've been receiving new weapons shipments from well wishers in Equestria, so the holds will always be safe."

Night Blossom began to demand attention "You're helping Luna? Can we go to the city! I want to see her!"

Silent considered "It would be good for you to meet our Princess. Yes, you can go with your mother."

Silent turned back to Dusk. "We can't fail her again. We've paid for our mistake for a thousand years. Never again."

And so, the batponies worked behind the scenes. Watching. Waiting. Uncertain. But determined.''

The bomb tore through the stage, the shockwave hurtling Luna to the ground.

Chaos. Screaming. Confusion.

Ponies screamed, screeched and shouted, batponies took to the air in fear, with a few braver ones rushing to assist Luna.

And in the centre of the charred rubble Luna got to her feet, injured, but alive. Before her in the front row, her staff. Burns. Screams. Horror. Luna's breath caught – as closest to her – a young, white stallion, hopeful eyes now glassy and unmoving.

A dark rage grew, and the gentle pale light of the moon grew blood red, demanding stillness. Somehow, the world obeyed. Silence replaced screaming, pegasi and batponies hung in the air, wings paused mid-flight.

The frozen crowd stared helplessly at the dark blue mare bathed in the red of the Blood Moon. In the crowd, Dusk Horizons stood with her daughter, and tried to screech in terror, but no sound came. The Blood Moon – not their Dreams realised, but their nightmares manifest.

Luna stood, swirling with magical anger. Not the petty rage of a jilted foal, but the zealous fury of a crusader. Her speeches had failed, and a pony who had placed his hopes on her lay dead. The world was broken and filled with injustice. Luna would destroy those who dared make it so. Her eyes began to narrow as she pulled forth power with reckless abandon.

A familiar darkness crept into her thoughts.

The New Moon Rises

The Blood Moon grew brighter as Luna raged. She was not the pony she once was. She had grown and learnt, no longer the selfish mare who craved love. With power, she could end this madness, and she let go of the restraint that had so tightly wound her. For Dreams and Nightmares were but two sides of the same coin.

Luna... No... Nightmare Moon stood before the crowd, whole. And with wholeness came the memories... the Canterlot military codes... the entranced disciples... the stockpiled weapons and the carefully planted instructions. Oh, she HAD been busy, hadn't she?

Nightmare Moon began to laugh. As Luna, she had won the love and trust of the populace. As Nightmare Moon, she had raised a great military might that even the Elements of Harmony could not fight. Nightmare Moon understood this new world of media, machines, and military might in a way that Celestia could not.

The Moon seemed to throb, and across Equestria, ponies knew. The time promised in their dreams had come. The Blood Moon calmed, and ponies began to move. Her entranced followers pushed through the crowd, treating injuries, controlling the crowds.

Nightmare Moon left. She had to work to do.

Rarity croaked "Luna... this isn't friendship... remember..." Rarity coughed, her throat ragged from burns, struggling to speak.

Nightmare Moon... Luna... struggled. Yes. Friendship. This was why she fought.

She sent a healing wave of energy across the crowd, treating the worst of the injuries, and addressed them. "Ponies! This horror is not friendship. Terrorism is not friendship. Violence is not friendship. We gave Equestria everything, and yet they have turned away from friendship. We must bring friendship to Equestria, even if by force!"

The Moon seemed to throb, and across Equestria, ponies knew. The time promised in their dreams had come. The Blood Moon calmed, and ponies began to move...''

Luna struggled, desperately fighting to cling to sanity. In her mind, Nightmare Moon cackled: "Look at what your weakness has accomplished! Nothing but death and failure."

Luna looked. Terror. Despair... but also hope.

A batpony child stood with her mother, looking to Luna, scared but trusting.
One of her campaign team, looking with relief that Luna had survived.
An activist directing ponies to provide first aid, grim resolve on his face.

Even amidst tragedy, the ponies clung to their dreams. and she would not betray them. Her memories tugged at her, and she understood. Nightmare Moon had been lurking in the world of dreams. She had leaked the military codes, entranced disciples and stockpiled weapons.

Luna stared down at Nightmare Moon. "You have stolen my powers, twisted them for evil and manipulation. No longer. These powers are mine. And I will use them make their dreams real."

Nightmare Moon shrieked impotently as Luna reclaimed her power. No longer the raw emotion of a nightmare, but the quiet hope of a dream. The red moon calmed, and the vortex of power slowed to a swirling current. It rose, a healing wave washing across the crowd. Burns faded, wounds closed, and terrified ponies calmed.

Luna swayed with the effort, her horn flickering out, and collapsed.

Luna begin to weep, tears welling even in the stinging heat of the flames. "Yes" she wept, "I'm too weak!" Nightmare Moon's magic could... but all she could think about was Rarity. Rarity, the Element of Generosity. Rarity, who would surely give her life to save Luna.

Luna knew what Rarity would do and so knew what she must do. Luna's horn glowed, a dying star in the night sky, as she summoned magical energy. The air grew chilly and the Blood Moon turned a sickly grey.

Still Luna pulled, plunging deep within herself, drawing energies capable of moving the Moon itself.

Nightmare Moon began to panic. "Stop! You'll die! I'll die!"

Still Luna pulled, pouring her life into the spell. Just a bit more...

Her vision darkening, Luna never saw the spell complete, a torrent of healing magic washing across the crowd. For dreams had overtook her, and she welcomed their embrace...''

Confrontation


Luna hummed cheerfully as she applied a wax seal to her note, working late into the morning. The reform campaign was difficult, but fulfilling. She had been sleeping well this past year, too.

The doors burst open, and Canterlot guards rushed in, Celestia behind them.

Luna rose in shock, finding herself facing a dozen rifles.

Celestia, tears streaming down her face, hurled a crate into the room. It broke open, rifles and ammunition clattering across the floor. "These are stolen weapons, found with Nightmare Moon cultists. Even now, they prepare for her return!" she shouted. "And they used royal codes to get them! OUR codes!"

Luna gasped in shock. "Sister, I would never...!" Luna trailed off. Or would she? She recalled her recent restful sleep.

Celestia's face hardened, even as it shone with tears. "Maybe not, but we cannot risk the return of Nightmare Moon. You will be detained until we can discover what has happened here."

Unnoticed, a guard slipped away. Luna's dreams had prepared him for this possibility. The press, the people, must know - Celestia, bat-hater, had fabricated a national security crisis to detain Luna and end the reform campaign.

The Shadow Market


During their centuries largely outside outside Equestrian Society, the batponies developed their own, parallel society and even economy. Being in many areas unburdened by taxes or Equestrian laws, this economy has established itself in many places across Equestria, allowing them to make sure that any bits they earn remains within batpony society. Even the wages paid by those thestrals who worked as unregistered labourers in Equestrian industries or farms go into this shadow economy and stay there, and over time entire industries, though small scale, have grown up here. This has become a drain on the Equestrian economy as many of the three tribes have taken to spending their money there instead as well.

Many thestrals take pride in their self-sufficiency, and resent the notion of having to bow to the obligations of the society they never were part of. This sentiment is echoed by several industrialists, who have tied themselves in knots trying argue for the preservation the system without saying outright that they want to be able to get away with not paying proper wages to their workers.

If the thestrals are to be integrated, this shadow market must be addressed, but the question is how.

Anti-Thestral Sentiments


Whilst batponies have traditionally been Equestrian citizens, they live apart from the citizens of other races in their own communities.

But many citizens want it to remain this way. They think that batponies do not need to be integrated into society and brought out of isolation. Some are afraid of possible side effects such as a disruption of societal Harmony, others fear the rumoured Nightmare Moon cultists among the ranks of the batponies, and a few think batponies have no place among the other three races of Equestria, seeing them as complete outsiders. To them, it's as if Celestia was suggesting griffons to be welcomed as a Fourth Tribe.

The Canterlot bureaucracy has prepared an initiative to promote the integration. Groups of batponies would be invited to tour across Equestria, so the common citizens could see them with their own eyes. EEA syllabi would be rewritten to teach about batponies and their history. False rumours about cultists would be dispelled by official media. Pamphlets and posters would be distributed, showing photographs of smiling thestrals with the words "THESE BATPONIES ARE OUR FRIENDS".

However, if taken too far, pushing this pro-batpony information can easily be considered propaganda or an attempt at forcibly changing ponies' minds about the matter.

Thestral Mistrust


Ponies may be skeptical, but the same is true for the thestrals themselves. Many of them don't trust the other Equestrians and only support the integration because Princess Luna is advocating for it. They simply want to be left alone, instead of trying to befriend other ponies.

Fortunately, nowhere is more equipped to handle this problem than the land of Friendship. As Princess of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle has drawn up a campaign plan that stretches down the hallway.

The plan is as inspired and diverse as it is complex and expensive - the Elements of Harmony visiting isolated thestral communities in jungles and mountains; Friendship clubs; inviting thestral students to the School of Friendship; Dusk Festivals where both batponies and other ponies would celebrate together; Celestia and Luna meeting with batpony leaders; and the list goes on...

The Reforms


Event trigger.png The below descriptions are available for this event.
The following description is used if:

  • Country flag lunar_reforms_pass is set
Luna cheerfully began her nightly rounds of the palace. She passed offices where batpony bureaucrats worked through the night, continuing the shifts from their daytime counterparts. Manehattan was often called "The city that never sleeps". Well it had become true here in Canterlot, too.

Across the nation, thestrals ventured into cities in greater numbers, attracted by employment opportunities and a new attitude of tolerance. The changes would take years, decades even, to be fully felt, but the Equestrian public was now ready to accept batponies as the Fourth Tribe, standing ready to protect their new friends from harm.

"It's wonderful, isn't it?"

Luna turned in surprise, to find Celestia regarding her. Luna tried to speak, but instead found herself crying. Celestia had made her dreams real. A thousand years in exile, all because she'd been too proud to ask for help!

Celestia hugged Luna as the blue mare sobbed, cradling Luna in her wings. She would never let Luna down again.

The following description is used if:

  • Country flag lunar_reforms_fail is set
Luna stood on a balcony, staring sadly into the night sky. She thought she saw a movement in the darkness - the flap of thestral wings perhaps? It was not uncommon to see them these days. Luna's reverie was interrupted as Celestia joined her, apparently content to stand silently.

Luna spoke first "Celestia. Did we do enough? Many still have not accepted this change. We made so many compromises..."

Celestia stood silent for a minute before speaking. "This is the burden we bear, Luna. You know the threats that are coming. You know the challenges we must balance. This land has stood for over a millenium, and our caution might be what ensures it will stand millennia more."

Luna closed her eyes, trembling.

"I know these changes are not as fast or as bold as you wish. But we have started something with these new ideas about thestrals. Maybe not this year. Maybe not this generation, even. But change will come, and one day, we will heal the scars of history."

Luna nodded, holding back her disappointment. As always, her sister bore the hard-won wisdom of centuries. The foolish dreams and fancies of the night must always melt away before the illumination of the sun.''

Silent and Dusk sat enjoying the evening air in Manehattan Central Park. Their daughter Night Blossom squeaked as she flew, eagerly seeking her foal pegasi friends in their aerial game of hide and seek. Eventually they would realise that her hypersensitive hearing gave away their locations even as she covered her eyes and counted to thirty, but until then she was enjoying her reign as Princess of Hide and Seek.

The real Princess stood at the other end of the park, addressing a crowd. She stood confidently, no longer the mare who stammered her way through a press conference. "...and as we stand here today to celebrate a dream realised, we take a moment's silence to mourn those who lost their lives making it happen." The park quieted, and Luna bowed, ceding the stage to Flowing Current, leader of the newly formed Thestral Reintegration Initiative.

Backstage, Celestia approached Luna, giving her a warm hug in greeting. "When I first stepped back to allow you to lead those reforms, I was so worried! But... I must admit, you've become quite a leader, and even found a talent for dramatic speeches." She winked conspiratorially. "I, on the other hoof, have always been a terrible actor."

Luna laughed. In 1000 years, Celestia hadn't changed a bit. As befitted the eternal Sun, Luna thought. Luna thanked Celestia and left - the world of dreams called once more.

Meanwhile, in a tiny apartment on Manehattan's outskirts, Misty Night sat, glumly cradling her rifle. Princess Luna had triumphed. Her help was not needed. But, she was prepared to wait. One day, Luna would need her once again.

One day, Nightmare Moon would return. And the Disciples of Nightmare Moon would be ready.

The park quieted, and Luna bowed, ceding the stage to Flowing Current, leader of the newly formed Thestral Reintegration Initiative. Luna headed backstage.

There a white mare protested: "A little dramatic, don't you think? I may look like a roasted marshmallow, but it's not a funeral!" Luna felt a pang of guilt at Rarity's permanent scars and patchy manye, and let it pass, neither wallowing in it nor supressing it. Rarity sensed Luna's mood. "There's nothing you could have done darling, and they always say that limitations bring out the best in an artist!" she leaned and whispered conspiratorially "Besides, I'm quite enjoying all this attention as 'the heroes of Equestria'."

Luna smiled, not believing a word. Rarity was generous as always. Luna thanked Rarity and left - the world of dreams called once more.

Meanwhile, in a tiny apartment on Manehattan's outskirts, Misty Night sat, glumly cradling her rifle. Princess Luna had triumphed. Her help was not needed. But, she was prepared to wait. One day, Luna would need her once again.

One day, Nightmare Moon would return. And the Disciples of Nightmare Moon would be ready.''

The Million Mare March


Event trigger.png The below descriptions are available for this event.
The following description is used if:

  • Country flag luna_nlr_staff is set
Ponies across the nation marched in candlelit vigils on the eve of the referendum. At the centre of it all, Luna stood in Manehattan. Absolute authority had given her nothing, whilst her pulpit rallied millions to experience this night.

The polls were promising but still Luna fretted. The dream would live or die here.

And so Luna spoke. Of justice. Of hope. Of... dreams? She faltered, staring across the crowd. Disbelief. Smiles. Hope. And her team of activists, packing the front rows, their impossible dreams on her shoulders. How could anypony bear the impossible burden of an idealist's dream?

And then... Luna understood. She understood the strange stagnation plaguing Equestria. She understood why her sister did not do this. She understood why this strange new era needed her.

Tears flooded her face as she spoke. "As Princess of Night, I protect and nurture the dreams of Equestria. Standing before you, I realise now how gravely I have misunderstood that role. For what use is a dream if we do not strive to make it real?"

"Tonight, I make a promise. On this night, in the city that never sleeps, I will make the dreams you have entrusted to me a reality! The first of many dreams becomes real tonight! A dream of friendship! Of a great wrong righted! Of night and day made whole again!"

The moon shone bright across the city, and deep within, a burden lifted, a shrieking, hateful rage fading by the minute. This was how it was meant to be.

A shining light washed over the crowd as the bomb beneath the stage exploded.

The following description is used if:

  • Global flag luna_nlr_friend is set
Ponies across the nation marched in candlelit vigils on the eve of the referendum. At the centre of it all, Luna stood in Manehattan, the nation looking on.

The polls were promising but still Luna fretted. The dream would live or die here.

Luna approached the podium and looked at the crowd. Ponies smiled and laughed. A small batpony filly was curiously approached by some pegasi foals. Activists chanted, hooves entwined. And in the front row, Rarity smiled encouragingly.

"Tommorrow we vote on laws, on ideas, on decrees. I do not know what will happen. But I do know that far more important than any change of law is the change in our hearts."

"What use is a law if it is ignored?
What use is a smile that is forced?
What use peace founded on exclusion?"

"I once asked you what had happened to Equestrian friendship." She gestured to the crowd. "It stands before me. This cause has brought us together, and formed friendships that will transform our nation, and make our dreams possible! No vote, no law can change what we have created here tonight!"

The crowd cheered in approval and joy. Luna smiled. She had spent her life demanding, asking, and failing to get friends. Now she focused on helping others, and she stood with thousands of friends. The moon shone bright across the city, and deep within, a burden lifted, a shrieking, hateful rage fading by the minute. This was how it was meant to be.

A shining light washed over the crowd as the bomb beneath the stage exploded.''

The Batponies Take Flight


Screams filled the sky as tens of thousands of batponies took to the air. A millennium ago, they had failed Luna in her time of need, and she had twisted into Nightmare Moon. Now she had been imprisoned and needed their help. They would not fail her again.

From coast to coast, major cities swelled with crowds never before witnessed in Equestrian history, as batponies marched in protest, chanting, blocking government offices, and screeching in anger. A year ago, ponies would have looked on, fearfully. And some still did. But many stepped out, marching in solidarity.

In Canterlot, large crowds grew at the Canterlot Palace gates, as guards nervously looked on.

The Nation Marches


The situation at Canterlot had become a stalemate. Crowds camped outside the Palace whilst the gates stood barred.

A guard sat trembling atop the wall. He just wanted the protest to end. The noise, the crowd, the yelling. It reminded him of a past he wished he could forget. Changelings streaming into the Palace. Luna and Celestia captured. Grinning faces wrapping him, cacooning him, as he writhed, unable to escape. Yet the nightmares would not end.

He started as the gates unexpectedly groaned open. The crowd, surprised but enthused, flooded into the Royal Palace, towards the throne room.

No! It was happening again. The Royal Palace was under attack! He hastily fired a panicked warning shot towards the crowd with his rifle, which then retreated, screaming in fear.

A batpony lied on the ground, bleeding.

Within hours, the news had spread like wildfire on the radio. An innocent protester had been shot in cold blood by a Royal Guard, who were meant to protect Equestria. Even with their ancient prejudices, many ponies knew. They knew this was not Harmony. This was not Friendship. And across Equestria, they poured onto the streets, marching united against barbarity.

The Return of Nightmare Moon


Celestia and Twilight stood sadly as Luna sat weeping on the floor of her cell. It had been her all along. Nightmare Moon had crept into Luna's subconscious, and raised an army whilst Luna slept.

"Sister. Twilight. Please... do whatever it takes. I can't bear to cause any more suffering."

Twilight nodded "It's not your fault. We will assemble the Elements, draw Nightmare Moon out, and drive her from your mind once and for all. Everything can go back to normal."

Then the sound of a gunshot followed by screaming carried from the outside.

Twilight and Celestia froze in horror, as Luna began to tremble "What have I done? WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" She lunged towards Celestia, pleading. "PLEASE! HELP ME! HELP MEEE!"

Celestia backed away, overwhelmed. She had failed Luna. Again.

Luna's sobs became wracking coughs, and then she began to laugh. And laugh. She grew, swirling with energy as her pupils narrowed and coat blackened.

Nightmare Moon. With a blast of her horn she blew open the back wall, and took flight, fleeing the castle.

Outside, the crowd cheered. Luna was free! Batponies rushed to block pursuing pegasi, guarding 'Luna's' escape!

The Princess's Speech


The Equestrian army, already on high alert, swung into action, as broadcasts warned of the return of Nightmare Moon. But it wasn't enough.

Manehattan was the first to fall silent as it was stormed by angry crowds and brainwashed sleeper agents. When the broadcast towers resumed, a Princess addressed the nation.

"Ponies of Equestria. A millennium ago, I committed a great wrong, and was banished to the Moon by Celestia, who worked to return and restore my old self. In doing so, she saved me, and I owe her a great debt.

"It is with great sadness, that I must now repay this debt. Celestia, frightened of batponies and imagined threats, has gone mad. She imprisoned me and ordered a Royal Guard to shoot into the protesting crowd at the Palace. No longer the kindly sister I once knew, she has become Daybreaker, a cruel monster of flame and rage.

"From Manehattan, I work to defeat my sister and end her madness, just as she did for me so long ago. I call all harmony loving ponies, be they earth pony, pegasus, unicorn, or batpony, to join me in protecting our nation and restoring Harmony!"

The Cause


Flowing Current's limbs began to move again, as Luna's healing magic washed over the crowd. He couldn't believe it. Some reactionary had attempted to assassinate Princess Luna! She had emerged, blackened and angry, but alive. A week ago, an anonymous letter had instructing him that a terrible tragedy would occur and he would be needed at the power station, but he hadn't believed it.

He, the great organiser, was now in the wrong place at the wrong time. He launched into the air, racing across the city for the power station. In the streets below, gunfire rang out. Now they were making a grab for Manehattan! He pushed, his wings aching as he pulled in to land at the station entrance.

Flashing his ID to a bewildered security guard, he sprinted for the boiler room. The Princess of the Night needed every advantage she could get.

In front of him stood an emergency trip. With a station this large, it would take hours to properly restart. With luck, power fluctuations would trip other stations too.

Flowing Current took a deep breath. Some would call this treason. But true justice required doing what was right, no matter what others thought.

He closed his eyes, and whispered a silent prayer "Please, let the Night rule. Just for this one day..."

He punched the button.

The Calling


Misty Night lay in bed, listening to the radio. Luna spoke righteous truth. But ponies didn't understand, couldn't understand. Then the radio signal cut out.

Misty Night lept to her hooves, diving for her rifle under the floor. This was the moment promised in her dreams. The moment they had all trained for. And indeed, suddenly the moon seemed to ripple, and deep within her soul, she felt its call. Nightmare Moon had awakened. It was time.

She frowned... but the lights still blazed. She chided herself. She must be patient. She begin to pray. "Nightmare Moon, Princess of Night, Princess of Dreams, please bless me, your faithful Disciple, in what I am about to do". A minute passed. The crack of gunfire rang outside. Still Misty waited.

Then the lights winked out, and the city was plunged into darkness.

She grinned, looking around the room. She could still see, for she was blessed of the Moon. She lifted her rifle, and sprinted out into the darkness, as thousands of others across Equestria did the same.

The Thestrals


The crowd stood in the night air, candles held aloft. Silent Peaks huddled around radio as it relayed Luna's speech. Luna was actually doing it! Night Blossom could have a good future in a new Equestria, a fair Equestria.

And then the radio went out, and an explosion thundered in the distance. The crowd scattered, batponies taking to the skies in panic, screeching. The moon's light faded.

Silent collapsed in shock. If Luna had died, the batponies would be sure to follow.

But then then moon began to glow. Not a calm white, but a deep, blood, red of rage and sadness. It shimmered, and Silent felt the call deep within. Luna was alive. And she needed their help. He rallied his volunteers. Many cried even as they obeyed, their dreams of peace shattered. One asked "But what if it's... Nightmare Moon?".

The others nodded, hesitating.

Silent himself barely held back tears. He needed to stop this kind of talk immediately. He grabbed the pony by the collar, shouting "It doesn't matter! If it's Luna, we help our Princess! If it's... Nightmare Moon, Equestria will try to imprison or expel every single Batpony! Do you think they would just forgive us?"

His voice dropped to a whisper, trembling "Do you understand? It doesn't matter." He looked at each of them in turn. "We fight, or we die."

The lights winked out, and the batponies charged into the night.

Mountain Duty


Sergeant Silver Spear threw down his poker hoof in disgust, "Here I am in the Celestia-damned middle of bat country on some goodwill mission, and now its turned into a wild chase for stolen weaponry, and to top it off our baby Lieutenant is collecting my entire paycheck."

Lieutenant Purple Heart smirked back, sweeping in the bits. "Whose fault is that? And besides. Bats are unavoidable. It's all they can talk about in Canterlot, and I wouldn't even be surprised we find some overeager bat clan has pilfered these weapons for a skirmish with the rogue diamond dogs."

Silver Spear grumbled assent. "Things are nice for a thousand years, and then Luna comes in, wants to make her mark. Easy for her to say, its poor old me who gets sent up a mountain."

Purple Heart raised her eyebrows "You're not going to vote for it?"

"I want to hear Celestia's opinion on it before I choose. She's been quiet about the whole thing. We do need to fix things with the bats, it's just..." he waved his mug of cider "You can't just make ponies into friends with a vote, you know?" He leaned closer. "It's not like the bats are perfect - have you seen the crazies down in the jungle? They still worship Nightmare Moon down there, and some of them are coming up here."

Purple Heart opened her mouth to answer but was interrupted as a bird call rang out. The scout had called. The weapons had been found.

The Warning


They moved quickly, following the signal. Cresting a rise, they arrived to a strange sight. No light shone yet somehow they could see in the blackness. Batponies knelt, their eyes gleaming strangely, chanting "...Nightmare Moon, hidden ruler of Equestria, may the darkness hide us, as we embrace your darkness within ourselves..."

Silver Spear swore quietly in disbelief "Actual cultists?!"

Purple Heart stood, shouting "This is the Equestrian army. You are surrounded. Put down your weapons and put your hooves on the ground."

Instead, cultists dived for guns and the fight began.

Several minutes later, Purple Heart, wounded but standing, anxiously searched the wreckage of the camp. Most of the cultists had fled in the confusion. Silver, now the image of professionalism, advised "We can tell the clans about this, they will hunt the rest. What surprises me is the Equestrians here. Earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi, supporting Nightmare Moon? How is that possible? And why did they fight? Even cultists usually don't fight the army..."

Purple Heart shuffled through papers and maps, her ears flattening with anxiety "Worse. Here. They are planning a massive attack on Whinnyapolis soon. The passes are filled with these cultists! We need to warn Princess Celestia!"

Silver Spear shook his head "We may not arrive in time, even if we travelled in force. We should stay here, delay these cultists. We can keep them bogged down with fighting and protect the cities until reinforcements arrive."

Purple Heart flicked her tail nervously, indecisive. Finally, she spoke

The chamberlain hurried into the room, hooves echoing on the marble floor of the throne room. Princess Celestia looked up, curious at the disruption.

"Your Majesty, a soldier is here to see you. We found her... well, we stepped up patrols recently and they were fortunate to find her before..."

He trailed off as the doors to the hall swung open.

While it is unlikely for [LSP.GetLeader] to peacefully give up control of Las Pegasus, there is still a possibility this may be solved without bloodshed.
