Hurricane!
 |
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
A devastating hurricane with sustained winds over 220 kilometres per hour slammed into Hippogriffia from Warzena and Chiropterra, with the heaviest damage done to East Aris. Although our ability to shift between hippogriffs and seaponies let us avoid any deaths due to flooding, it provided no protection against the trees hurled through the air or the gusts slamming us into walls. The death toll is thankfully low, although the property damage is devastating. The economic impact of this disaster cannot yet be calculated, and many seaponies are using it as an evidence that the surface is too dangerous.

A Meeting with Hippogriffs
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
A delegation from Hippogriffia met with Director Arclight today, requesting assistance from the OHS for a similar body called the "Anti Harmonic Activities Committee" in Hippogriffia. The Director was quite sympathetic to their case, as ever since they opened up their country they have been inundated with fascist, communist and other anti-harmonic radicals trying to spread their ideologies and undermine one of the few harmonist states in North Zebrica.
They requested we share our experience combatting communist influence in Rijekograd, as well as conduct joint training exercises for their agents to better prepare them to nip subversive activity in the bud.

The OHS Accepts Our Request
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Good news! The OHS has sent us a letter accepting our request to share information and training, and to coordinate our efforts in guarding harmony in our nations. In his letter to us, Director Arclight praised the AHAC's efforts at securing Hippogriffia against subversion. His letter also contained the first of hopefully many lessons from the OHS, gleaned from many years of combating communism in Rijekograd. He warned us was to stay vigilant against all forms of socialism, even so-called moderates, stating that "Behind every Nova Whirl there is a Caramel Haze. Behind every so-called 'Democratic Socialist' there is a tyrannical overlord waiting to be unleashed." Violet Facade read this out before the committee, which has taken this warning to heart.

The OHS Rejects Our Request
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Unfortunately, the OHS has rejected our request for cooperation. In a perfunctory letter, Director Arclight indicated that while he applauded our vigilance against anti-harmonic subversion, he considered it "Hardly in the interests of the River Republic to share intelligence, personnel or classified training material with a monarchy halfway across the world."
This has been met with disappointment by the AHAC, who had hoped that the vaunted expertise of the OHS in suppressing communist radicals within Rijekograd would prove useful in rooting out similar extremists here. The committee has elected to thank Director Arclight for his consideration, but not to push the issue further as it is clear that his mind is made up.

A Meeting With Hippogriffs
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
A delegation from Hippogriffia has arrived with an unusual request. Citing concerns about growing communist and fascist influence in Hippogriffia, as well as the threat of infiltration from foreign powers, they have requested to coordinate a program where their "Anti-Harmonic Activities Committee" would share intelligence and training with SMILE. Director Bon Bon is enthusiastic about this plan, saying that it is just as important to protect harmony in Hippogriffia as it is in Equestria, but Princess Twilight Sparkle has expressed some reservations. She sees some of the AHAC's actions, such as the censoring of books, as unacceptably stifling to learning and damaging to the trust between Queen Novo and her subjects. She has suggested we politely decline the AHAC's offer. Ultimately, the decision is ours.

Good news! S.M.I.L.E. has accepted our request to share information and training, and to coordinate our efforts in guarding harmony in our kingdoms. In her letter to us, Director Bon Bon spoke of the lessons S.M.I.L.E. gleaned in the aftermath of the Changeling infiltration/invasion of 1002, discussing the many subtle ways enemy agents can use the openness of a harmonist society to infiltrate it, and suggesting a number of preliminary steps to avoid similar security breaches in Hippogriffia.

S.M.I.L.E. Rejects Our Request
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Much to our surprise, Equestria has rejected our request to coordinate between the AHAC and S.M.I.L.E.. The matter apparently made it to the princesses' desks, because the response is signed by Twilight Sparkle herself. In it, she expresses concern over some of the book bans the AHAC has issued, stating that: "Harmony and knowledge go claw-in-fin, and harmony requires governing with a light hoof and trusting your subjects. However good the intentions behind it, the AHAC's activities undermine that trust. Therefore, [EQS.GetLeader] has regretfully declined your request to share intelligence between S.M.I.L.E. and the Anti-Harmonic Activities Committee."
This comes as a great disappointment to the AHAC, whose chairpony Violet Facade expected our friends in Equestria to enthusiastically support our fight against extremism in Hippogriffia.

The Wingbardian Book Ban
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
In a controversial move, the AHAC has banned all books coming from Wingbardy or written in Wingbardian from entering [From.GetNameDef]. They cite Wingbardy as "a hotbed of socialist and fascist radicalism," paying particular attention to the doctrines of Beakolini and the way supposedly-apolitical Wingbardian literature subtly advances fascist ideology.
This move has been met with condemnation from a singularly unexpected source: while Raft Wood and most of the rest of Aris First have praised the move as "the first step in freeing our culture from foreign influence," Crack Lightning has criticized the ban, arguing that Wingbardian books are no more dangerous than any other, that the ban is poorly worded, and that it rests on an idea of so-called "Crypto-fascism" which he finds preposterous. His voice is joined by the usual choir of progressive harmonists who oppose the AHAC, with Silverstream and Skystar both urging Queen Novo to rein in the AHAC, seeing the ban as yet another example of an escalating trend of xenophobia within the committee, with Skystar being particularly passionate about not wanting to go back to the lonely days of hiding from the world.

Hippogriffia Banned Wingbardian Books

Hippogriffia has issued a blanket ban on all Wingbardian books. They say that everything written in Wingbardian is a potential source of anti-harmonic radicalism, citing the popularity of Wingbardian fascism as "evidence" that our entire literary tradition is somehow a corrupting influence. The ban has offended and outraged many both within the government and the Wingbardian literary scene, with many calling for an immediate denunciation of this move. Ultimately, it is up to [WNG.GetLeader] whether to officially protest this cowardly move by the Hippogriffs.

Joining An Alliance

Some thought we would return to isolation after our defeat, but Queen Novo has decided that [Root.GetNameDef] is still a part of this world. If we could not triumph over our foes in the North Zebrica War, how will we be able to defend our island if they strike again? The mountain cannot stand alone, so we must find partners to join in alliance.
But which alliance shall we join? There are several options. The world is constantly evolving as nations go to war, make peace, and adjust their diplomatic relations. Some old and venerable alliances have already fallen while new alliances have taken shape. After carefully considering all available options, the Queen has decided that...

A military science division from Hippogriffia led by a hippogriff named Terrafin has arrived in our country today, looking to set up a joint research enterprise. Terrafin has the blessing of the Hippogriff government, and has impressed our own scientists with the scope of his ambition for this research. Some more cautious elements within our military have cautioned that this would necessitate sharing classified information with the Hippogriffs and could end up costing a significant amount of money. Still, our scientists have pointed to the benefits we could gain from cooperation, and the hippogriff ambassador has emphasized the value of Terrafin's proposal in promoting trust and friendship between us and our allies.

Crack Lightning Returns

Aviator and Storm War hero Crack Lightning touched down at Queen Novo Airport this morning to an awaiting crowd of reporters and fans. His trusty custom-built aeroplane, the Spirit of Starfield, gleamed in the morning light as it taxied to its parking spot. His three-month solo tour of the world has been the talk of Hippogriffia, with many wondering what he'd discover beyond the borders of the island. His words to a reporter from Aris Post have been reprinted in numerous outlets, and his celebrity has turned them into a rallying cry for the isolationist elements within Hippogriffia:
"There are many great sights in the wider world, Karthin chief among them, but I must say on the whole, the Storm King's barbarism is the rule rather than the exception outside of our fair nation. They have very little to offer us except for endless 'isms': communism, liberalism, republicanism, all ideas which griffons and even ponies kill each other over every day. We need to remain strong in the face of this violent new world, and reject these foreign ideas which would disrupt our peaceable way of life."

Silverstream's Declaration
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Queen Novo's niece Silverstream has denounced the AHAC's move to expand coverage to foreign nationals today, saying that it's "Stupid and wrong and not Harmony" to impose our values and laws upon others, and that it "Treats creatures who should be our friends with suspicion and fear." Aris First founder Raft Wood has praised the move as "The first step in removing foreign influence from our Mountain," lending credence to Silverstream's statements that the AHAC is turning into a weapon of xenophobia.
AHAC chairpony Violet Facade insists her fears are overblown, and that the measure is primarily intended to combat tax evasion, pointing to the AHAC's fining of businessgriff Plumage Moonfeather for hiding money with his New Mareland associates, which would not have been possible without the new measure.

What Is "Harmony"?
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
After weeks of deliberation, the AHAC proposed their definition of Harmony to Queen Novo to be signed into law. Progressives opposed setting down a legal definition of Harmony as being against the spirit of Harmony, with Skystar and Silverstream begging the Queen not to "Put Harmony in a cage of ink and paper." Meanwhile, the Aris First movement largely endorsed the move, with Raft Wood proclaiming his full confidence in Violet Facade's judgement and expertise. Queen Novo decided to at least give it a read before making a decision. The report addressed each Element of Harmony in turn:
Loyalty, contrary to the Equestrian understanding, was about pride in your home and loyalty to the Queen and Hippogriffian Harmony itself, not about your personal friends.
Honesty is more than telling the truth. It was also about behaving in an upright and correct manner for your station.
Generosity is when well-off creatures willingly used their wealth to help their country and those less fortunate, and is thus incompatible with forced wealth redistribution.
Magic is not only magic, but the pursuit of excellence in all of one's talents.
Laughter and Kindness, being altogether too vague to be given a rigorous legal definition, should be considered secondary Elements.
The report concluded that under the definition, Hippogriffia should stop looking to Equestria and especially to Griffonian republicans, liberals, social democrats, and other false-Harmonists for guidance, as these were all either too laissez-faire, too individualistic, or too focused on anti-harmonic notions of constitutionalism or economic redistribution to truly understand Harmony as we do.
Novo set the report down, declaring:

Hippogriffia Offers Protection
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Our Hippogriffian neighbors have recently approached our government with an offer that requires our attention and thorough consideration. Hippogriffia asks Warzena to bow to Queen Novo and become a protectorate under her guidance. Among other concessions from our side, accepting this offer would allow the Hippogriffian military access to our nation and give them the power to meddle in our foreign policy. We would also be forced to support them in any war they find themselves in.
The benefits, however, are just as impactful for Warzena. Warzena would have a steadfast, Harmonic ally in the tumultuous Zebrican continent and Hippogriffia would be bound to aid us should we ever find ourselves at war. The economic possibilities could also be bountiful as investment from Hippogriffia is assured to follow should we accept this offer.
In short, much of Warzena's freedom in exchange for the might of Hippogriffia, in all its forms.
The final decision lies with King Barekzamal who will be supported by the citizens of Warzena, whatever his decision.

Hippogriffia Offers Integration
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
The Hippogriffians have approached us once again with another offer, this time the offer could potentially lead us to the furthest extent of our alliance. The offer is the total integration of Warzena into Hippogriffia as one of its provinces. Warzena would cease to exist as a separate and independent nation, with its citizens, territory, resources -everything- becoming an integral part of Hippogriffia, for good or ill.
At the same time, integration carries many benefits for our people in the long run. They would become citizens of a fellow Harmonic nation and with the might of Warzena and Hippogriffia united their chances of survival and safety are exponentially increased. Some say that such an integration is only natural for two nations that are as merged as ours. Both of our societies, militaries and bureaucracies are already fairly unified thanks to our protectorate status under Hippogriffia.
It is up to King Barekzamal to decide:
Independence or Integration.

The Anti Harmonic Terrorism Act

Violet Facade hadn't expected to meet with the famous Crack Lightning over coffee, and yet here they were. Crack was charming, debonnaire, and clearly in a good mood, gushing about the new law the AHAC had been drafting.
"You've truly outdone yourself," he said, "The AHTA is exactly what this country needs to remind us of who we are, what we stand for, and who our enemies are."
"I don't know, I thought it was fairly mundane."
"Oh don't sell yourself short!" Crack exclaimed, "Take ah, paragraph three, section four of the current draft. It's brilliant. 'Any creature who publicly propagates false or misrepresented statements which they know or should reasonably be expected to know will undermine the public's faith in the fundamental institutions of Hippogriffia will be considered culpable in any resultant unrest or anti-Harmonic activity.' Just that section alone will allow us to uproot all those unpatriotic and anti-Harmonist elements easily! Plus the way paragraph two lets you cut through all those messy police jurisdictions and procedures to ensure that the ones who truly deserve it face justice."
Violet sipped her coffee. She didn't like the twinkle she saw in the hippogriff's eye, and slowly opened her beak:
"Well, uh, Crack, it does require the statement to be false..."
He waved a claw dismissively. "Or misleading, or misleading! You underestimate your own genius, Ms. Facade!"
After Crack had left, Violet thought long and hard on what he'd said. She'd never intended to write a law with such ruthless implications, but it seemed she'd done just that. Lightning's enthusiasm unsettled her. He reminded her of the demagogues and dictators of Griffonia, going on about unpatriotic elements and lambasting due process as a barrier to "true justice." Despite her doubts, some part of her didn't care if Crack Lightning liked it or not. The AHTA would be a powerful tool, and in the fins of a responsible leader, a tool for good.

The First Royal Parliament
|

This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Today was the first session of the new Royal Parliament. This body, unique in Hippogriffia's history, has the power to draft and pass legislation, though the Queen possesses an absolute veto. Delegates from across Hippogriffia gathered in a new meeting hall on Mount Aris. As the Queen gave the opening address, the energy in the hall was enthusiastic, but also a bit tense. Rumors had spread claiming that radical Aris First members or leftist agitators planned to disrupt the session. Many also feared that unresolved tensions between hippogriff and seapony delegates were going to flare up.
In the end, the session was disrupted by something entirely unexpected. One delegate, clearly bored by the opening speeches, began loudly humming to himself. This annoyed the delegate seated beside him, who suddenly took the floor and proposed a measure banning "humming, mumbling and other distracting behavior" during parliamentary sessions. The humming delegate, now offended, took the floor to defend his conduct and argue that the measure violated the delegates' liberties. Several delegates, each eager to make a name for themselves, followed by giving increasingly impassioned speeches either supporting or opposing the measure.
This continued until Princess Skystar, also in attendance, asked to be allowed to speak. She chided the delegates for focusing on pointless minutiae while serious issues required consideration, and reminded them that creatures everywhere were depending on them for assistance. This rebuke seemed to snap the delegates back to attention, and the rest of the session focused on more consequential issues. In spite of this incident, many remain hopeful that the Royal Parliament will show the benefits democratization can bring to Hippogriffia's government.

The Advisory Council Assembles

Today the Royal Advisory Council reconvened for the first time in years. This body of commoners used to advise the Queen on matters of state, but the Storm King's invasion disrupted its operations. Now the council has been revived, with its membership consisting mostly of political newcomers. The councilors met in a hall on Mount Aris with Queen Novo, members of the extended royal family, and many eager spectators in attendance.
Unfortunately, the inexperience of the new councilors created unforeseen problems. Many of them appeared absolutely starstruck in the presence of the Queen and other royals, and their opening speeches contained nothing but excessive praise for Her Majesty's Government. The councilors continued in this manner until Silverstream suddenly turned towards the Queen and blurted out, "I'm confused! If they only wanted to flatter you, couldn't they have just sent in fan mail?"
After a brief silence, Queen Novo began to laugh, as did the councilors. This moment seemed to break the ice, and the councilors then spoke on several local and national issues they wished to bring to the government's attention. The Queen listened attentively to each of their speeches and promised that her government would work to address all of their concerns. Though the Queen still rules in Hippogriffia, she is always looking for input from her subjects.

“Reform The Royal Advisory Council”
- Azrael never thought he'd become a politician, and yet here he was, just sworn-in as the first zebra member of the Royal Advisory Council. Queen Novo's agents had canvassed the various officials and community leaders in Zumidia and his name had come up again and again as somezebra she should hear from. And so here he was, listening to the Queen's niece bombarding him with questions about the state of plumbing in Ain Trotgourait.
"Uh, Silverstream," he finally interjected, "I don't know about plumbing."
Silverstream looked disappointed.
"Actually, I think I know why everyzebra wanted me to come here. See, what I'm about to say will probably not feel good, but a lot of us Zumidians only agreed to join Hippogriffia... er, the United Kingdom of Aris, because we felt like it was you or Colthage."
"But I thought you said we were your friends?"
"I mean I like you, but there's over a million of us. A lot of us were just scared. And we still are. I used to be a war correspondent; I've seen the aftermath of Chiropterran slave raids. Entire villages carried off into the night, never to be seen again. And don't get me started on Colthage."
"Okay, sooooo, what can we do to help, friendo?"
"The entire region is gearing up for war, except Aris. I need you to talk to your aunt before the next council session. Tell her that what Zumidia needs most is for Hippogriffia to start rearming, now."

"I mean I like you, but there's over a million of us. A lot of us were just scared. And we still are. I used to be a war correspondent; I've seen the aftermath of Chiropterran slave raids. Entire villages carried off into the night, never to be seen again. And don't get me started on Colthage."
"Okay, sooooo, what can we do to help, friendo?"
"The entire region is gearing up for war, except Aris. I'm going to tell Parliament, and I want you to talk to your aunt. Tell her that what Zumidia needs most is for Hippogriffia to start rearming, now."

- Is at war
- Azrael sat across from Skystar and Silverstream, sipping tea. He'd been invited to discuss the war from the Zumidian perspective after Skystar had read one of his columns covering the latest offensive.
"I wish..." began Skystar, "I really wish we'd met under better circumstances. It sucks that the first time I meet this cool author is... well, now."
"There'll be plenty of time to catch up after the war," said Azrael.
"Ooh, I was just about to mention the war!" said Silverstream, "You're a war correspondent. How do we win it? I don't really know anything about army stuff."
"I'd say ask a general. But in my experience they seldom agree on anything. I really don't know about strategy, but I can tell you that the zebras of Zumidia are... scared, but ready. We joined you partly because we knew without you, we'd get conquered again just like with the Storm King. And I mean that in the nicest way. We're ready to fight for you if you're ready to fight for us."
Skystar smiled. "That's what friendship is, right?"
Azrael nodded. "So what do you need from me?"
"We're offering you a job. We need somegriff, or somezebra, to make sure all that fear turns into fighting, rather than running. We Hippogriffs ran once, and we're not gonna run this time."

[HIP.GetLeader] didn't want to aggravate the national unity situation, but unfortunately today we must do just that. With the country in chaos, only one capitol can be sufficiently secured to function as a seat of government, so until the crisis has passed, all government directives will have to come from either Aris or Seaquestria, rather than both as was our practice before. Whichever we choose, either seaponies or hippogriffs will see it as a betrayal.

After the final battle with the Storm King, Princess Skystar was horrified by what she saw in Zumidia. The yeti armies had left the country completely devastated, its economy in tatters and its population traumatized.
One of the saddest things the princess heard was the story of Zumidia's king. Crown Prince Zamni was barely more than a foal when the Storm King invaded, but the conqueror showed him no mercy. After executing his mother and father, the yetis locked Zamni in a dungeon. He remained there, alone and neglected, until the hippogriffs defeated his captors.
On days like today, when Skystar was in Ain Trotgourait on official business, she always made time to visit the young king.
"Hello Zamni!"
Zamni bowed slowly. "Good evening Princess Skystar. It is a pleasure to see you."
"Um, Zamni? You don't have to be so formal. Just call me Skystar."
The young zebra sighed. "My tutors keep telling me I need to behave 'in a manner befitting a royal.' They say appearance is very important for kings."
"Well it's true that kings need to behave regally in public, but there's no need to act that way among friends."
As the pair settled into their usual routine of playing a board game, Zamni seemed to dwell on the princess's words.
"Is it important for kings to have friends?" he asked.
"Of course! Spending time with friends is important for everycreature." Skystar replied, beaming with joy.
Zamni's eyes widened. "Since you're my friend, can you take me outside the palace so I can explore the city?"
Skystar's smile became a frown. "I don't think your regency council would like that very much. But don't worry, I promise when you're older I'll take you to Mount Aris and give you a full tour!"
"Thank you, I'd like that." Zamni sighed again. "But it's just like being king: another thing I have to wait till I'm older to do."

When Zumidia's accession to the North Zebrica Federation was officialized, the residents of Ain Trotgourait broke into spontaneous celebration. The city's hippogriff residents were ecstatic, especially when Princess Skystar and her cousin Silverstream arrived to join in the fun.
As a parade of hippogriffs and zebras marched through the center of town, crowds of zebras cheered them on. Most of them were optimistic about their future within the federation, but a few were sullen, not sure if surrendering their nation's sovereignty was wise. When the parade passed by Zerma Palace, those on the balcony could see that the young King Zamni was the most apprehensive of all.
"Zamni?" Skystar asked, "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine..." Zamni replied, trying and failing to sound calm.
"Don't worry, whatever is wrong you can tell us." said Silverstream.
Zamni gritted his teeth. "All my life I've been training to be a king, and now that's never going to happen! I'm not a real king, I'm just one member of your federation!"
"That's not true!" Silverstream exclaimed, "In the federation you're still a king, you're just the least important king."
"You're not helping." Skystar said, giving her cousin a stern look.
"Sorry..." Silverstream replied, smiling nervously.
Skystar turned back to Zamni. "I know this isn't how you thought things would turn out, but I promise it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Your people will always look to you as a leader. They need you to help guide them through this time of change."
"What if I don't like this change?" Zamni said, looking away.
Skystar put her claw on his shoulder. "I give you my word as future Queen of all hippogriffs and seaponies, this will be good for your people. This will be a federation of equals, and we will do all that we can to help the Zumidians. Do you trust me?"
Zamni thought for a moment. "I shouldn't trust anyone else with my kingdom and my people. But you're my friend, so I'll trust you."

Report on Military Aviation during the Storm War

All the armed services played their roles during the reclamation of Hippogriffia's territory from the Storm King. However, special mention should be made about the Air Force's actions during the war.
Barring the support and cover it provided to the Navy and the Army in their various battles it was also instrumental in the final defeat of the Storm King's army during the battle of Ain Trotgourait. Air superiority had already been in the Hippogriffians' claws since the beginning of their surprise war on the Storm King's forces when they quickly and efficiently overwhelmed the Storm King's air force, most of which was grounded, not expecting a large enemy force to appear from beneath the ocean.
During the final battle the Air Force ensured that all the Storm King's airships were destroyed. These airships played an important part in the Storm King's campaigns as they gave him a tactical and strategic advantage over his enemies, carrying large amounts of warriors, materials and weapons at a fairly fast pace, easily outmaneuvering his opponents and positioning his forces to deliver crushing attacks on their weak points.
These same airships, however, weren't quick enough to face the lightning strikes of the biplanes which composed the Air Force. One of the many airships to join the scrapyard was the flagship of the Storm King, being destroyed by Crack Lightning himself, who was lauded as a hero for his actions that day.
Together with the other branches of the military and providential help from the Element Bearers the Storm King's rampage through Zebrica came to an end. Peace and Harmony returned to Hippogriffia.
The tactics employed by the Air Force during the war are still taught in our nation's military colleges and serve as an important building block all pilots must master to ensure the integrity of our skies.

Queen Novo's emergency measures have done serious damage to her popular support. She knew that some blowback was inevitable, but she never could have guessed it would be this intense. Hippogriffs and seaponies who could agree on nothing else denounced Novo and her authoritarian crackdown. Prominent members of society publicly broke with the queen or sought to distance themselves from her.
Now the opposition had reached a new height: in defiance of official censorship, newspapers were printing editorials from government officials who had resigned their offices in protest. After ordering all the offending papers confiscated, the queen had several sent to her study. She always listened to her subjects, even when they called her a tyrant.
Most of the papers left her unimpressed. These people clearly didn't understand how dire the situation was, or how seriously she took her duty to guard and preserve the realm. But there was one piece that struck a nerve.
"For me Queen Novo is more than just a queen, she's my aunt. I've loved and admired her all my life, but I can't support her rule any longer. Her emergency measures are unjust, unnecessary, and just plain mean. During my studies in Equestria I learned that sometimes friendship can be difficult, but it's always worth fighting for. Queen Novo has turned her back on harmony and on friendship. She's let down her subjects, her family, and all of our friends around the world."
-Signed, Silverstream.
Queen Novo sighed. Ever since Silverstream had gone off to Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship she'd embraced all kinds of foreign ideas about harmony. Novo would have to remind her niece of her responsibilities to her country and the royal family. Still, she might have a point. Domestic papers could be censored, but the queen's image had taken a beating in the foreign press as well. That could become a problem later on.
When Novo emerged from her study she had made a decision.

Colthaginian Republic:

Supremacist
Hippone:
- Does not exist
- Today the royal court received a visit from Jezabzella Zeshmid. Very few Colthaginian politicians have become household names in [Root.GetNameDef], but Jezabzella is certainly one of them. Many creatures have heard tales of the elegant patrician, destined for a life of luxury, who chose to defy her Zarcid-supporter parents and fight for harmony instead.
Jezabzella arrived in a stunning gown that combined traditional Zonician styles with aspects of hippogriff fashion. She dazzled the upper class members of the court with her pristine manners, and her knowledge of political theory impressed even the most distinguished academics. Yet the highlight of her visit was her conversation with Queen Novo.
After pleasantries were exchanged, the Queen asked Jezabzella about the situation in Colthage.
"Unfortunately I must report that our venerable republic has fallen victim to corruption and tyranny," she replied, "[CTH.GetLeader] has subverted our democratic institutions to secure absolute power. His oppressive regime denies zebras their natural rights. Worst of all, I fear his ambitions extend beyond Colthage. He will not shy away from using military force to expand his influence across North Zebrica, and when that happens [Root.GetNameDef], as the greatest beacon of harmony in the region, must be prepared to stand against him."
Queen Novo raised an eyebrow. "And if a conflict were to break out, which side would you be on?"
Jezabzella looked askance. "I am no friend of that tyrant, but I do not take the decision to oppose my country lightly. Only if your majesty promised to free Colthage, rather than destroy or subjugate it, would I support you."
"Then you have nothing to fear." The Queen smiled, "If a war between our peoples comes to pass, which I pray will never happen, we shall aim to restore the ancient liberties of your republic, with the help of honorable zebras like you."

"Unfortunately I must report that our venerable republic has fallen victim to corruption and tyranny," she replied, "When the Zarcas were overthrown many zebras hoped for a return to democracy, but those hopes have been dashed. Colthage is now ruled by Zarishat Zeirutid, a deplorable autocrat. Her brutal methods and erratic behavior have made her unpopular even among the Coltvans who put her in power. She uses the language and symbols of a Marksist, but in practice she seeks only to enrich herself. Yet her rule may soon be secure enough for her ambitions to extend beyond Colthage, and I fear she may plunge the region into war."
Queen Novo raised an eyebrow. "And if a conflict were to break out, which side would you be on?"
Jezabzella looked askance. "I am no friend of that tyrant, but I do not take the decision to oppose my country lightly. Only if your majesty promised to free Colthage, rather than destroy or subjugate it, would I support you."

Jezabzella's face darkened. "I would not believe what has happened to be possible if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Hiram Zerranid was once considered a respectable patrician, but now he has revealed himself to be something else entirely. His beliefs are an incomprehensible mess meant only to justify the slaughter of "avian" races... You must understand, Colthage is a noble country full of upstanding zebras, this madness does not represent us. This so-called "Star Father" is clearly insane, and he maintains his power through horrid atrocities that frighten the people into submission."
Queen Novo looked concerned. "Do you believe he poses a threat to us?"
Jezabzella nodded. "I am certain that his bloodlust will not be sated until he has conquered Mount Aris, so you must be prepared to stand against him. When the time comes I promise you that I and all other Colthaginians who remain free will aid you against this monster."

- It is no secret that the Colthaginian Republic has often fallen victim to political instability, but it has now achieved a level of instability few thought possible. The country has experienced three civil wars in rapid succession, each one incredibly costly and destructive. Ever since the third civil war began, our Zumidian territories have been flooded with refugees trying to escape the carnage.
Today Queen Novo summoned Azrael to the royal court for a report on the situation.
"I've been reporting on events in Colthage for years," he said, "but even I am at a loss to describe what we're seeing now. Zarishat's rise to power was itself a completely unexpected event, but her government's collapse has sent the Colthaginian political establishment into a tailspin. Some rally to General Monzano and the remains of Zarishat's regime, while others have thrown their weight behind Gerza, an opportunistic and brutal warlord. All the while the so-called "Star Father" gathers strength and builds his movement, which appears to be a deranged cult."
Queen Novo raised an eyebrow. "And how do you think we should address this conflict?"
"It's hard to say, your majesty. None of the warring factions can be considered friendly towards [Root.GetNameDef] in any way, so no matter which side emerges victorious we are likely to have a major problem on our hooves. I fear we must prepare for the worst."

While Hippogriffia has maintained a policy of isolationism for most of our history, Warzena has always been an exception. A harmonist monarchy like ourselves, we frequently traded and mingled with them even when we didn't want anything to do with the wider world. Skystar was particularly heartbroken when she heard that Warzena had been sacked by the Storm King, and their plight nearly caused us to break our Seaquestrian sequestration before we were ready.
Now, their king has sent us an envoy asking us to guarantee their independence and reaffirm our long friendship. They are especially worried about Chiropterran aggression, telling horrible stories of slave raids and comparing them to a new Storm King. They say that they need our help to deter the Chiropterrans from attacking.

The AHTA Scandal
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
"The Right to Truth Removed!" the morning papers cried after the arrest of a notable journalist.
This outcry was followed by a series of protests calling for the repeal of the Anti-Harmonic Terrorism Act (AHTA). This piece of legislation grants the government the power to, among other provisions, arrest any individual who instigated unrest or other "anti-Harmonic activities" by publicly disseminating "false or misrepresented" statements that, in turn, undermine the institutions of Hippogriffia.
The recent bout of unrest began when a journalist uncovered the conditions prisoners endured in Hippogriffian POW camps during the war. To call the accommodations "horrible" would be an understatement. Prisoners were forced to live in hastily constructed hostels which were unheated and in poor condition, leaving them to the mercy of the weather. They were malnourished and received medical care only when in their deathbeds. In short, their circumstances were nightmarish and hidden away from the public eye, until an intrepid journalist brought the facts to light.
The journalist was arrested when he made his findings public, leading to massive protests around the nation calling for his release and the law's repeal. Some members of the government believe that the protestors' demands should be met, most notably Azrael. "This vile act goes against everything a Harmonic society stands for!" he proclaimed during a recent rally. "The truth must always be sought out, for it shall set you free! And how can we call ourselves practitioners of Harmony if we are not free?"
However, not all share these views. "Violet Facade made the right decision when she promulgated this law. Without it, Hippogriffia would have no defense against traitors who seek to do her harm" Crack Lightning, a vocal member of Aris First, stated at a press conference.
Whatever the government decides, it will have serious consequences for Hippogriffian society.

Her empathy had served her well in the past, but now, faced with a decades-long social conflict, it was clear she would need more than empathy.
One one side of her desk was a petition, signed by thousands of Coltvans, demanding near total autonomy for their region. An attached message detailed the many abuses they had suffered at the hooves of Colthaginian landlords and generals. Some of the signatures were little more than scratches, the zebras writing them not even able to spell their own names, yet still determined to have their freedom.
On the other side of the desk was a letter from Jezabzella Zeshmid and other leading Colthaginian harmonists. While they acknowledged that Colthage unjustly oppressed the Coltvans in the past, they pointed out that their government has already formally apologized for these acts and plans to carry out the land reform Coltvans have long been demanding. They also argued that keeping Coltva within the Colthaginian Republic would make both regions stronger and more stable, while dividing them would do the opposite.
Skystar sighed. Both groups made very good points, but neither was willing to budge. With the two sides deadlocked it was up to her to make a decision. She could understand both perspectives, but in the end she could only side with one.

"I must've said it a thousand times already, but I'll say it again," snorted Zeshmunazash Zeirutid, the renowned Coltvan revolutionary, "the people of Coltva are tired of direct rule from Colthage. I've spent my whole adult life fighting off corrupt landlords and brutal generals sent by Colthaginian Sufrits to terrorize us. Enough is enough, we demand our land and our freedom!"
"I don't deny that the abuses you've suffered are great," said Jezabzella Zeshmid, the leader of the Colthaginian harmonists, "but can't you see that things will be different now? Our new government has already apologized to the Coltvans and promised to enact sweeping land reforms. We should not use the sins of past Colthaginian tyrants to justify dividing our people. We are stronger when we stand together."

Colonel Cirrus Windflow took a deep swig of coffee before returning to his map. The whole region around Ursagrad was full of Chiropterran guerillas, yet he couldn't seem to pin them down in any location. Every enemy attack caught his forces completely by surprise, and before he could organize a response they had already disappeared. It was as if the guerillas could melt into the terrain, or worse, into the civilian population.
The colonel's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a patrol returning. He opened his tent flap and saw a platoon of hippogriffs leading dozens of ponies into camp.
"Lieutenant!" he cried, approaching the lead hippogriff, "What is the meaning of this?"
The lieutenant, a much younger griff, had a crazed look in his eyes. "We lost three of our number to snipers as we passed by their village, so we marched in and took every able bodied bat prisoner. At least one of them's gotta be a guerilla, and the rest are guilty of helping hide 'em."
Colonel Windflow sighed. "Very well, detain them for now and I'll deal with it later."
As the colonel moved back towards the tent, he heard screaming near the edge of the camp. Rushing to the scene, he found two soldiers holding back a very old mare.
"Let me in!" she shrieked, "Give him back! I have to find him!"
"Calm down ma'am," the colonel said, motioning for the guards to release her. "Who do you need to find?"
"My son! You took him, give him back!" the mare said, breaking down in tears. "Please, he's my only son! Don't kill him, I beg you!"
The colonel was speechless. If they were ever going to have a chance at pacifying Chiropterra, they would need to win over the hearts and minds of these ponies. But every step they took to combat the insurgents only alienated the population further. Colonel Windflow could see this vicious cycle spiraling out of control before his eyes. If something doesn't change soon...

Over a thousand years ago, the remnants of Nightmare Moon's legions fled Equestria and settled on the shores of North Zebrica.

Now the hippogriffs have defeated Chiropterra, but they are having trouble pacifying the territory. The Chiropterrans cling fanatically to the memory of their long lost goddess and have refused to accept that the war is over. To resolve this crisis, the hippogriffs are requesting that we send them Equestrian Moonspeakers and other ponies who understand traditional thestral religious practices.
[HIP.GetLeader] seems confident that with our help they will be able to get through to the Chiropterrans and end the bloodshed. Many Moonspeakers have already volunteered for the journey, eager to meet their distant kin and help bring peace to a troubled land. However, honoring this request will require sending some of our citizens into a war zone, where they may be injured or killed.

- Ever since we defeated Chiropterra we have been working to bring its leaders, the creatures responsible for the war, to justice. Other than the Legion Commanders themselves, the most high-profile targets have been members of the Legionary Medical Research Council, or LMRD. These ponies conducted horrific experiments on sentient creatures, ignoring even the most basic medical and scientific ethics, in order to make Chiropterra's forces more deadly.
Unfortunately Emerald Light, the head of the LMRD, has disappeared along with most of the other surviving Lord Commanders. However, we still have a chance to make her accomplices face justice for their crimes. Chief among them is Ocean Spray, a pony who served as Emerald Light's right hoof and now leads the infamous "Crescent Moon Society" insurgent group.
The search was slow-going at first, as we received sporadic reports that indicated Ocean Spray could be anywhere in Chiropterra. A major breakthrough came with the arrival of Moonspeakers from southeastern Equestria, sent to aid our deradicalization efforts. One Moonspeaker developed a strong rapport with the residents of a village in New South Buckcastle. They confided to him that a group of "scary" ponies, all members of the Crescent Moon Society, routinely collected supplies for a secret base in the nearby mountains.
When one of our search parties stumbled upon this base, an intense firefight ensued. Five of our soldiers and three Chiropterran guerillas were killed, but the rest were successfully captured alive. One of them was Ocean Spray, who suffered a minor injury when a bullet grazed his hind leg but was otherwise unharmed.
Soldiers and civilians across [Root.GetNameDef] are ecstatic that we will finally be able to put this monster on trial. His reign of terror is over, and his victims may finally have peace.

Founded over a millennia ago by ponies from Maregypt, the city was eventually conquered by the Kingdom of Warzena. Yet the Warzenans were never able to fully integrate the city's predominantly pony population, who came to see them as foreign occupiers.
In 961 Imazeeb tribes invaded from the east and, with the support of the city's inhabitants, made Tobuck part of the new Zarantian state. The city remained content under Zarantian rule until the Storm King arrived and captured it in 1005. After we defeated the yeti conqueror, Tobuck became a republic ruled by merchants and warlords. Now we must decide what to do with it.
Our allies in Warzena insist that Tobuck is an integral part of their kingdom. While some privately admit that Warzenans only represent a majority in the small region around Miharzehir, Tobuck still holds pride of place in the minds of Warzenan nationalists. [WAR.GetLeader] has formally requested that we allow Warzena to annex all of Tobuck.
However, this request has been met with stiff resistance from the Zarantians. They argue that Tobuck is an integral part of their state, as most of the city's inhabitants preferred their rule to that of the Warzenans. They also claim that without access to the port and industry of Tobuck, Zarantia will be reduced to an unviable rump state. The Zarantians plead with us to award them all of Tobuck, with some even threatening to break off diplomatic relations if we side with Warzena.
With the future of North Zebrica and [Root.GetName]'s diplomatic reputation hanging in the balance, a decision has to be made. We can give the entire territory to Warzena or Zarantia, or we can find some way of dividing it between the two.

War Of Survival

[HIP.GetLeader] listened, not showing the distress creeping through their spine as General Cold Stream read out the report he'd prepared. While some had dismissed the so-called Star Father's anti-Avian rhetoric as little different from that of other ultranationalists, the testimonies Cold Stream had prepared dispelled this entirely.
The Star Father's army -his disciples- were using hippogriffs as a sort of conduit to their own ascension. In a very literal way for them, torturing and mutilating hippogriffs purified their own souls. The few prisoners who had escaped their ritualistic massacres had told of Starites competing to outdo one another in wanton cruelty, all under the watchful eyes of their commanders. Civilians caught in their path fared little better, and even Zumidian zebras were subject to horrific executions if they were anything less than grateful at their "liberation."
And then there were the weapons. The Starites seemed to delight in using all manner of alchem-chemical weapons on hippogriff civilians and soldiers. The message could not be clearer, Cold Stream concluded, and it was a reality Aris had to accept. In this war, there were no civilians. Not to the enemy. Every single hippogriff, down to the smallest chick, was marked for death.
[HIP.GetLeader] raised a claw. "I've heard enough. I will contact our department of war propaganda. Our citizens need to be made aware of this. We're not just fighting for our pride, or even our sovereignty... we're vermin to them, and defeat means extermination. We are fighting for our survival."

With the war on the mainland turning decisively in our favor, [WNG.GetLeader] has approached us with a peace offer. He obviously expected to secure a quick and easy victory while we were distracted by our other foes. Now that [WNG.GetNameDef] is facing the prospect of a protracted conflict with us, [WNG.GetLeader] is proposing a return to the status quo antebellum.
There are many reasons to accept this offer. The war has taken a heavy toll on our nation, and refusing to make peace now could prolong it indefinitely. However, some in our government say we should not let [WNG.GetLeader] off with a white peace. This foreign tyrant has already attacked us without provocation, so it is clear that he cannot be trusted. Perhaps we could make dismantling [WNG.GetNameDef]'s colonial empire a new war aim?

- "Damn you Giulio!" Crack Lightning shouted, "Damn you, damn you, damn you!"
He was sure the Wingbardian ambassador who had just delivered the declaration of war could hear him, but he didn't care. Glaring at his secretary, Crack snarled, "Get me Razorbeak and Admiral Seaspray. We need to change all our war plans."
"Right- right away sir!"
The writing had been on the wall; Crack had merely ignored it. Of course Il Duce would strike Hippogriffia while they were vulnerable. Of course he would. Hippogriffia was the only naval power to rival Wingbardy in the middle sea; they were the only ones who could seriously disrupt Giulio's ambitions in Abyssinia and Saddle Arabia. What was the ideological affinity between him and Crack Lightning, what were the conversations they'd had back during his tour of Karthin, what was Crack Lightning's admiration next to the cold reality of geopolitics?
"War is the father of virtue, and thus we reject both the possibility and desirability of perpetual peace," Crack Lightning quoted the Doctrine of Fascism, trying to sooth his wounded pride. "Fine, Beakolini," he said to the empty room, "We shall see which civilization is stronger: The Karthinian, or The Arisian."

- Posada shook her head, looking down at the missive delivered from Karthin. Wingbardy had long ago closed its embassy to [HIP.GetNameDef], but they hadn't cut the telegraph lines, so they could still deliver one last message to Aris: war.
Posada had immediately relayed the declaration to the heads of the army, navy and airforce. They'd know what to do, as Posada had them draft war plans against Wingbardy long ago, knowing that their fascist ideology would not permit them to leave a communist state so close to them in peace. But were those plans even relevant? They'd done naval wargames where it seemed the Blue Fleet had an advantage, but that was against Wingbardy alone. Against the combined fleets of Wingbardy and Colthage, with Chiropterra having an unknown number of submarines prowling the seas...
Posada's phone started ringing. She knew who was on the other end of the line.
"Fleet Admiral Seaspray," Posada said, "Your job just got a lot more complicated."

[HIP.GetLeader] was hardly surprised. Beakolini had always been an opportunist: he'd never seen a turned back he didn't want to stab, and [HIP.GetNameDef] was vulnerable right now. The vulture would swoop in while the Hippogriffs were occupied with the Agzhat Pact and gobble up as much territory as he could, for the Glory of Wingbardy or whatever slogan he used to justify his pointless aggression.
[HIP.GetLeader] picked up the phone, dialing Fleet Admiral Seaspray. Hippogriffia was outnumbered, but theirs was the army that defeated the Storm King: if Beakolini thought they would go down without a fight, he was sorely mistaken.''

Admiral Seaspray was no stranger to difficult situations, but he'd never had to fight a war his own people didn't seem to want to win. The situation was bad: protests, editorials, petitions, everywhere seemed to be sending a message of defeatism. Since the loss of Zumidia, the people of [HIP.GetName] had lost faith in their government's ability to win the war, and the news of [HIP.GetLeader]'s rejection of peace had opened the floodgates.
Three months, the Joint Chiefs of Staff had been given. Three months to retake Ain Trotgourait before the general feeling that defeat was inevitable turned into nation-paralyzing certainty. At that point, he could expect factory strikes, draft-dodging, and a breakdown of the Hippogriff war economy. They had promised [HIP.GetLeader] that they could do it, but Seaspray himself couldn't shake the feeling that he was fighting a lost war.

The Fate Of The Imazeeb
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
One of the stranger moments of the North Zebrican War was the "Last Charge of the Imazeeb." A large force of tribal warriors under Zawgha "The Ironbreaker" appeared seemingly out of nowhere, fighting not to free their homeland from Chiropterran oppression, but to avenge it. They fought with incredible brutality and tactical acumen, seemingly heedless of the rules of war but masters in the art of war.
At the same time as these chargers fought by our side, a larger number of the Imazeeb fought with the Chiropterrans, either for pay or out of fear, with their Aguellid, Umalez Ataghan, the closest thing they have to a queen, being a figurehead for the Chiropterrans after her mother's death.
It was only in the last days of the war that the truth of the situation came to light. Zawgha revealed that she had gathered her forces with the Aguellid's secret blessing, and that they never could have reached us had Umalez not distracted her supposed overseers. Zawgha then presented us an offer of peace from Umalez.
After we accepted the curious offer of surrender, we realised just how little authority the Aguellid actually had to make the offer, and how many Imazeeb were fully ready to return to their old semi-nomadic ways and give up the dream of the "Kingdom of Zarantia."
While we are grateful for their aid and their struggle for nationhood is romantic, between the division within Zarantia, the deviousness of this Umalez character, and the shocking brutality Zawgha's troops displayed fighting alongside us, we are unsure what will happen if we put our faith in these Imazeeb.

Many believe that the best course of action would be to restore the previous harmonic government of Warzena. After all, we have no claim to the territory and would be hard-pressed to administer it in the long run. However, there is always the possibility that the country could be destabilized once again. For this reason some officials think we should retain some level of control over Warzena, while others say we need only supervise the restored Warzenan government.

The Silverstream Plan
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
After months of negotiations, the nations of North Zebrica have finally signed onto the most ambitious economic plan in the region's history: The Silverstream Plan. This would see generous reconstruction loans given out in equal measure to Hippogriffia's friends and foes of the North Zebrican War, with each government also agreeing to help its neighbours in developing transportation, commerce, industry, and science. In the long-run, other nations who were able to would eventually start contributing to the Silverstream Plan's fund. While each country's leaders had the right to implement its precepts in their own ways, the Silverstream Plan was based on three principles:
"Peace Through Prosperity." By improving standards of living, healthcare, and education in all North Zebrican nations, we will put an end to squabbling over scarce resources.
"Unity Through Purpose." By having old friends and old foes all cooperate on the grand endeavour of rebuilding and improving the region, we will build feelings of national brotherhood and accomplishment. Creatures will no longer look to war as a means of asserting national prestige or serving their communities, but instead will look to building things and helping other creatures.
"Friendship Through Familiarity." By opening up borders, sharing literature and science, and developing commerce and tourism, we will make friends in all different countries in North Zebrica. Where once we saw each other as strange and foreign, we will see each other as friends and neighbours: different but all good in our own ways.
The passage of the Silverstream Plan was seen as a repudiation to everycreature in [HIP.GetName] hungry for revenge against their defeated enemies, as well as, hopefully, a death knell to revanchism among those enemies.

They argue that the best way to defend North Zebrica is to coordinate our efforts with all of our regional allies.
This offer is certainly interesting, and since the [HIP.GetAdjective]s have promised extensive information sharing it will likely prove beneficial for our military. While some officers may object to sharing our strategies and tactics with foreign powers, greater cooperation with our allies could be the key to improving our national defense.

The following description is used if:
- All of the following must be true:
- Country flag HIP_BAT_wargames is set
- Country flag HIP_CTH_wargames is set
- After several weeks of military exercises, simulations and weapons tests, the North Zebrican Wargames have come to a close. The experience has given our armed forces valuable insights into the combined capabilities of our military alliance.
[HIP.GetNameDef], as the host country, had the most impressive showcase. The [HIP.GetAdjective] Navy is one of if not the strongest navy in the world, and it stunned observers with the speed and precision of its maneuvers. The [HIP.GetAdjective] Air Force were no slouches either, showing off the expert flying skills that brought down the Storm King's airfleet. The [HIP.GetAdjective] Army, not to be outdone, practiced new and innovative assault tactics.
Many eyes were on Chiropterra during the games. Although it is a small country, it has always invested heavily in its military, enabling it to punch above its weight. The Chiropterran Legions showed off the strength that made them infamous during the war, with squads of thestrals and pegasi performing devastating air assaults. Observers were delighted to note that the military might of Chiropterra, once synonymous with oppression and terror, now fights for harmony instead.
Colthage also put on an impressive display. Admittedly [CTH.GetNameDef] could not match the hippogriffs at sea or in the air, but on land they were more than a match for the host nation. Units of zebra chargers demonstrated unrivaled speed and power, while other Colthaginian soldiers were praised for their strength and discipline. Dealing with decades of instability and political violence has helped make Colthage's army a force to be reckoned with.
Now the games have concluded and all participants have returned home. Every one of them is confident in our alliance's capability to defend us and all other member states.

After years of isolationism and passive support for [EQS.GetName], it seems [HIP.GetLeader] is finally ready to intervene directly in the Great War. She has long spoken ill of [CHN.GetNameDef] and its allies, describing them as warmongers and threats to Harmony everywhere. Now the rhetoric has ramped up even further.
Reports of massive mobilisation of [HIP.GetName]'s army and navy are pouring in, and it seems certain they intend to deploy their considerable war machine to Equus in roughly a month's time. Only time will tell if this will be the edge [EQS.GetName] needs to triumph.

Skybeak looked back one last time. Behind him, the idyllic fishing village he'd been sheltering in burned. After years of being untouched by the war, fire and death had finally come to it. Pretty soon nocreature would even remember its name.
They'd kept a stiff upper lip, those ponies. Even as Canterlot fell, they trusted their leaders to turn things around. Even as Skybeak had turned it into an impromptu headquarters for organising the last ditch operations of the Hippogriff forces in Equestria.
He was sure they'd overheard him. How hoarse his voice had gotten, telling increasingly desperate Equestrians that he simply had no troops to spare. Over, and over, and over he'd had to tell them that. But the locals hadn't lost hope.
They'd only lost hope when he said he'd be leaving soon. [HIP.GetLeader] had ordered all troops to withdraw from Equestria, as it was clear that any day now, there wouldn't be an Equestria to withdraw from. Skybeak had ensured everygriff he could was able to get onboard a ship, or else simply sabotage their equipment and dive into the water as seaponies to be picked up later. They'd even managed to bring a few Equestrians along with them. Still, the evacuation had been chaotic, and thousands upon thousands had been taken prisoner. Enemy commandos had raided retreating formations, enemy bombers had devastated ports... and enemy artillery had shelled the tiny, optimistic village Skybeak had sheltered in. As the flames rose with the sun, Skybeak dove under the water. Swimming out, he stripped out of his armour, letting it drift to the bottom of the sea.

Major Flarebright wasn't sure what to make of the sight before and all around him. The newcomers were zebras, but not Colthaginians, Warzenans or Zumidians. They wore everything between drab desert camouflage and traditional warrior garments, carried ancient-looking guns which were probably older than Flarebright's grandmother, and many had battlescars.
What was most astonishing, what he had dismissed when his scouts had reported it, was their sheer number. An entire brigade's worth of zebras had simply emerged from the desert, appearing like a mirage in the heat. Now they stood at attention as though on parade, with a single grizzled mare trotting out in front of them to meet Flarebright.
"Greetings," said Flarebright, "I am the commander of the 92nd royal infantry batallion, Major Flarebright. Why have several thousand armed zebras showed up in an active warzone unannounced?"
"I am Zawgha the Ironbreaker. We are the last warhost of Zarantia," the commander replied, speaking Arisian with a thick accent, "We have fought the murderous moon-worshippers ever since they broke Zarantia and killed our Aguellid. We're here to fight alongside you, and to claim revenge on them for what they've done."
Flarebright shivered, realizing the severity of the moment as his own soldiers started peeking out of their positions at the newcomers.
"Of course. I've heard of what the Chiropterrans did to your people. I will bring you to my commanders, and I am sure they will accept your service. Zarantia will rise again, if Aris can-"
"You don't understand, do you?" the zebra laughed bitterly. "Zarantia is already dead. We're here to build its funeral pyre out of Chiropterran corpses."

Zumidian Tank Trials
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Over the past few weeks, the army has been trialling various proposals for tank designs in Zumidia. After our victory over the Storm King, the army searched for the latest advances in land warfare from around the world. Of particular interest was Stalliongrad's use of tanks during their revolution. Royal Island Arsenal has been hard at work developing a series of proposed tank designs and experimenting with how best to integrate them into our land forces. The original T1 prototype was scrapped early in development, but the T2 and T3 prototypes are looking promising.
The T2 is a small and fast light tank with a crew of four. It has 16mm of armour and a max speed of 72 km/h on roads. The T3, however, is the exact opposite. A joint collaboration with Equestria, the T3 is designed with a crew of ten and has a maximum speed of 10 km/h over roads. With seven guns, it is built to overwhelm the enemy with superior firepower as it advances with the infantry, rather than outmanoeuvring the enemy lines.
A third contestant had also entered the trials; Clawbeak, an eccentric inventor and racing car driver, submitted his own design based purely on speed. While more lightly armoured than either the T2 or T3, Tide's tank supports a crew of two, it is armed with a 37mm cannon, and has an astonishing speed of 120 km/h on roads. However, army analysts are not confident that it could stand up to any form of anti-tank weapons that it would be liable to face, so it faces stiff opposition.
As the trials conclude, a decision must be taken. Which design will the army adopt?

The National Automotive Convention
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
Princess Skystar suppressed a yawn as she wandered through the hall. The Arisian Economic Society was hosting a National Automotive Convention, bringing together leading economists and businessgriffs. Because Queen Novo was unavailable, Skystar had to represent the monarchy at this event, even though she didn't know much of anything about the automobile industry. If she had to listen to one more lecture on the benefits of sustainable growth, she might not be able to stay awake.
Skystar wished she could be doing something more important, like recruiting promising candidates for government service. Harmonic absolutism was becoming increasingly impractical in the modern world. Hippogriffia needed to democratize and allow talented creatures from different backgrounds to attain high office. If there was someone in government with expertise in economic matters, they could help strengthen the kingdom's economy. Not to mention that person would be the one attending boring conventions like this.
The princess stopped when she noticed a large crowd in the corner of the room. They were listening to a blue hippogriff who spoke with much more energy than the other presenters.
"I'm a statistician at heart, but I've spent 5 years working as a consultant for car companies. In that time I've had to force creatures to think deeply about their problems and address them realistically. It's a strategy called 'scientific management.' Take my time at Cirrus Talonclaw's factory, for example. On my first day I asked him questions about every little thing till he was red in the face. But I took what I learned and used it to find all the inefficiencies and slowdowns on the production line. Once we ironed those out, productivity increased by over 100%!"
The audience burst into applause, and Skystar joined in. Maybe, she thought, what Hippogriffia needs now...

"I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your presentation on scientific management. It was the highlight of the whole convention!" Skystar replied with a smile.
"Thank you princess, that means a lot."
"I am interested in learning more about your consulting strategies. Would you be willing to discuss them with me, perhaps over lunch?"
"Certainly princess. Just name a time and place and I'll clear my schedule."

Rocket Neverfall looked down at his coffee, then pushed his glasses back up his beak. "Let me get this straight: you want me to be a government minister?"
"Yes! I think a griff with your talents could do a lot of good." Princess Skystar said before continuing to eat her meal.
"It is an... interesting proposition." Rocket sighed. "But I'm not sure I'd be the right fit. I don't know anything about government work."
"Then you'd be in good company." Skystar put her fork down. "This kingdom has been an absolute monarchy for its entire history, so the number of creatures with actual governing experience is pretty small. Ever since we returned from Seaquestria my mother and I have been bringing in new faces to advise us on all kinds of things. You can join them in learning the business of government."
Rocket scratched his chin, seriously considering the idea. "I'd need you to promise me final say over hiring and decision-making in my department. My management strategies have encountered resistance in the past, and I want to be sure I can actually make a difference."
Realizing she had pulled off a tough sell, Skystar grinned. "That can certainly be arranged."

"And what's this room for?"

"That is so cool!"
Silverstream's tour of the National Revenue Agency's headquarters building had taken nearly four hours, and her guide Swift Claw was wondering when she'd ever stop asking these questions. Swift Claw had been glad to answer at first, enthusiastic even, but as time wore on it became clear Silverstream would never stop asking. It reminded him of his three year old daughter. Swift Claw had become increasingly convinced that the new "Royal Friendship Advisor" was as useless as she was annoying.
As her tour finally concluded and Swift Claw bade her farewell, Silverstream announced that she'd thought of at least three changes which could be made to "make the whole place more friendly," and said they'd be hearing from her soon. Getting back to his coworkers for coffee, Swift Claw was surprised to hear them all talking about Silverstream: how friendly she was, how appreciated they felt when she came to them, how her questions made them feel like somegriff actually cared about what they were doing. How they hoped their kids grew up to be as kind and thoughtful as her. When Swift Claw mentioned how she'd said she was going to change their workplace, they all agreed that whatever she suggested would definitely make things better. Swift Claw returned home that night a little puzzled, but curiously optimistic. He gave his daughter an extra hug that night, and went to work the next day with a smile on his face.

The left had been largely pacified, except for one figure: Posada, the eccentric firebrand at the head of the Revolutionary Worker's Party. When Silverstream had suggested Skystar invite her to a party, Skystar had laughed out loud, but Silverstream was serious. One week and a whole lot of awkward conversations later, Silverstream had convinced the communist leader to meet them at a bar in a forgotten cove in Seaquestria.
"So that's why cap'talism will alwaysh collapse," slurred the red seapony, several hours into the night, "It's all about the falling rate of profit, it'll happen, don't you worry 'bout it..."
The three had all had a little too much, and Skystar wasn't quite sure how long they'd even been there.
"M'kay so you... you're still gonna fight cuz you think you can't lose? You're crazy Posada..."
"I am! But naw, communism will win, maybe now, maybe in a thousand yearsh... you guys ain't so bad though is what I mean, you know capitalism will go bye-bye but s'long as it's no Storm King takin' out the whole world with it we good, we good..."
In the drunken haze, Posada's words almost made sense, and Skystar felt oddly enraptured as Posada careened into another rapturous rambling declaration about the wonders of nuclear power.
"Is gonna be a nuclear age, I'm tellin' ya!" she proclaimed at the end of it, "Everyfin's gonna be powered by splitting atoms, I'm tellin' ya, I'm tellin' ya... No but really, you's'all've been good to th'left n' me, better'n any other monarchs I can think of... And I know nopony's gonna follow me into some crazy revolutionary thingamabob 'gainst creatures who've done right by them so you have my... My nuclear approval!"
As Silverstream launched into her third barrage of questions about nuclear science and extraterrestrials, Skystar had a hazy thought that they'd done something good today, no matter how bad the hangover would be tomorrow. They'd spent so long worried this communist was coming for their heads, but now that they finally met her she was just another dorky, enthusiastic seapony like Skystar herself. As she took another long gulp of her seaweed beer, Skystar couldn't help but look forward to working with Posada.

After [HIP.GetNameDef] was defeated in the North Zebrica War, the country experienced a period of social and political chaos. In spite of these struggles the hippogriffs have stayed true to harmony, making their nation the last bastion of freedom in the region.

Il Duce no doubt expected the attack on [HIP.GetNameDef] to be a quick victory, a simple landgrab, but we proved him wrong. Friendship overcame fascism, and Harmonist leaders the world over have congratulated us on freeing Wingbardy from the fasces.
Beakolini has gone into exile after being formally fired as Prime Minister of Wingbardy by King Garibald. We have made an agreement with him to appoint Giovanni Gaspwingi to head the new post-fascist government. Whether Wingbardy will maintain its monarchy or abolish it will be up to them.

In her many years on the throne, Queen Novo had seen her subjects through a lot. She had seen them filled with fear of foreign invasion, sullen and reconciled to exile in Seaquestria, and courageous and strong in the final battle with the Storm King. She'd seen them through tough times and times of plenty, but she'd never seen them like this. As she looked out over the crowd, all she could see in the faces of her subjects was rage.
As the Queen spoke, she struggled to be heard over the sounds of shouts and jeers, the noise of fights breaking out, and her guards repeatedly telling the crowd to step back. What made the whole thing so difficult was that they couldn't seem to agree on anything. Some shouted for her to arrest the unpatriotic seaponies who dodged the draft, while others demanded she punish the arrogant hippogriffs who led the country into an unwinnable war. Some claimed that the war should be resumed immediately, while others said [Root.GetNameDef] should renounce war and disarm completely. They variously blamed her, her government, her military and each other for the defeat. An unnervingly large number of them were demanding immediate secession.
After the event concluded, the Queen found Skystar in her room. The Princess's face was very pale, and she couldn't stop shaking. "Mother..." she said softly, "things are really, really bad." Queen Novo brought her daughter into a hug and replied, "I know. But we're going to fix it. They're scared and angry, and they're blaming each other, but we'll remind them that we're all in this together. No matter what it takes, we'll make our realm whole again."

The Six Promises
|
|
This is a community maintained wiki. If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it. |
On behalf of her mother, Princess Skystar has unveiled a set of six initiatives the government promises to fulfill. They each target a source of discontent in [HIP.GetAdjective] society and aim to heal the wounds opened by our recent defeat. Specifically, the Princess is proposing:
1. A reduction in conscription terms, a decrease in draft lottery draws, and increased draft exemptions.
2. An aid package for veterans, giving them access to subsidized healthcare, low interest loans, and tuition-free higher education.
3. Compensation for those whose property was lost or destroyed and increased reconstruction aid.
4. Increased popular input on and oversight of [Root.GetNameDef]'s foreign policy.
5. The creation of a government commission to promote peace and friendship between hippogriffs and seaponies.
6. The creation of a Department of Refugee Relief and Resettlement.
The Princess preempted criticisms that the promises are too expensive and will decrease our military's combat readiness, arguing that the resulting economic growth will pay for the measures and that the Army should transition into a smaller but more professional force. Despite these assurances, many are still skeptical. Some think the promises are currently beyond our government's means, while others believe they are insufficient to bridge the divides in our country. However, Skystar is adamant that these promises represent the best chance we have to keep [Root.GetNameDef] safe and united.

Those were Ocean Flow's last words to her son Terramar before she left a few days ago. With protests and riots for Seaquestrian secession spiraling out of control, a congress of leading seaponies, including Ocean Flow, was meeting to decide the issue. The government is still adamantly opposed to secession, but it has allowed this congress to convene and promised to respect its decision in the interest of preserving public order.
Terramar was trying his best not to worry. He knew his mother would oppose secession, but what about the others? The independence movement had grown larger than he ever imagined it could. Campaigning against it kept his sister Silverstream so busy he'd barely seen her recently.
He thought back to the days after the Storm King's defeat, when his father had eagerly returned to Mount Aris while his mother decided to remain in Seaquestria. It seemed like everygriff chose to live in only one place. Back then he thought he'd have to choose too, but for him it was different. It was a choice between his mother and father. It felt like having to give up a part of himself. Fortunately the country was united back then, so he didn't have to decide. But if things went wrong today... he didn't want to think about it.
Terramar perked up as he heard Ocean Flow return. She was sporting a huge grin, and she jubilantly exclaimed, "The congress rejected secession! It was a tough fight, but in the end everyone finally came to their senses." Terramar breathed a sigh of relief as he hugged his mother. "Great job mom. I knew everything would work out in the end."

Those were Sky Beak's last words to his son Terramar before he left a few days ago. With protests and riots for Arisian secession spiraling out of control, a congress of leading hippogriffs, including Sky Beak, was meeting to decide the issue. The government is still adamantly opposed to secession, but it has allowed this congress to convene and promised to respect its decision in the interest of preserving public order.

In her many years on the throne, Queen Novo had seen her country through a lot. She'd seen it unprepared in the face of foreign invasion, humiliated by forced exile in Seaquestria, and triumphant in the final battle with the Storm King. She'd seen it struggle in tough times and prosper in times of plenty, but she'd never seen it like this.
Across her realm, hippogriffs and seaponies variously blamed her, her government, her military and each other for the country's defeat. There was sedition in the press and violence in the streets. Some even had the gall to call for immediate secession. That could not and would not be allowed to happen.
In a meeting with her cabinet, Queen Novo discussed the steps that had to be taken to weather this storm. She would invoke the same emergency measures used during the migration to Seaquestria and suspend due process. The press would be censored and the army would mobilize to restore order in the streets. After the meeting concluded, the Queen found Skystar in her room. The Princess sat in stunned silence as the Queen explained her plan. "Mother!" she exclaimed, "how could you do such things!?"
"I am doing what must be done! There is no other way to save our realm. I know that I will be called a tyrant by many, maybe even by you. But I'm fine with that. In the end, I'd rather be a tyrant then let my daughter inherit a broken realm."

As the sun set over Mount Aris, the streets were much quieter than usual. Curfew would be going into effect soon, and police stood guard on every corner. The only hippogriffs still out were protestors and those who thought they could make it home without being caught. Among the latter were Silverstream and her brother Terramar, browsing the few shops still open near the city center.
"Silverstream, it's getting late, don't you think we should head back now?"
Silverstream pouted as she replied, "Oh, come on! Why is it a crime to stay out past sunset!? I know things are bad right now, but the Queen's new policies seem a tiny bit excessive."
"Yeah, the press censorship and mass arrests might be an overreaction," Terramar looked towards the palace, where a crowd of angry hippogriffs was confronting a police barricade, some even throwing rocks. "But at least the curfew is working. That crowd was twice as large earlier today."
One of the policegriffs suddenly collapsed after several rocks struck his head. This was the last straw for the police, and they soon brought out a large fire hose. The siblings looked on in astonishment as the police turned on the water and sprayed directly into the crowd.
The scene quickly descended into chaos as the crowd dispersed in every direction. Silverstream and Terramar managed to duck into a nearby alleyway and catch their breath.
"I can't believe it..." Silverstream said, her eyes wide with fear.
"I know," replied Terramar, struggling to keep his voice steady, "I never imagined I'd see things like this here... How could everyone have come to hate each other so much?"

Equestria:
- Exists
- Is an independent nation
- None of:
- Daybreaker has appeared (?)
- Queen Novo walked through the palace's hall of portraits, gazing at the faces of her ancestors. She stopped when she reached the portrait of King Skylance, her father.
Skylance had been a great king, one of the best Hippogriffia had ever known. He cared deeply for his subjects and always strived to be a fair and just ruler. Yet when sedition and unrest reared their ugly heads, he showed no mercy in rooting them out. He always told his daughter the security of the realm must come before all else.
After defeating the secessionists and guiding her kingdom through the postwar crisis, Novo was confident she had made her father proud.
While she had succeeded as a ruler, as a parent her record was mixed. Novo had tried to teach her daughter the importance of preserving the kingdom, but Skystar was a free spirit whose concern for their subjects was unmatched.
Now that the crisis was over, Novo intended to appease the princess and the people by governing with a light claw. The state of emergency was set to expire tomorrow, and she planned to pardon all non-violent protestors. She hoped that before long everycreature would understand the necessity of what she had done.
But a few troubling signs gave her pause. She thought of the letter she'd recently received from her old friend, Princess Celestia.
She recalled its words to her mind, "I once considered you an exemplary ruler, but your recent acts have strayed from the path of harmony... If you do not trust your subjects, they cannot be expected to trust you... I hope time will repair the great damage you have done to the reputation of your royal line."
Novo tried to dismiss this criticism. She reminded herself of the severity of the crisis. She thought of all the reasons why the Equestrian Princess had no right to judge her methods. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling that future generations would agree with Celestia.
Silently, she prayed that Skystar would never have to make the same hard choices she had.

She recalled its words to her mind, "I once considered you a weak and pathetic ruler, yet you acted decisively to protect your kingdom... You wield absolute power with great prowess... I would like to give you the honor of becoming a member of the Harmony Pact. Side by side, our nations shall never be threatened again!"
Novo felt ill as she remembered the invitation. The creature that had once been her friend Celestia was now nothing but a monstrous tyrant. Receiving praise from such a despot filled Novo's mind with doubt. She couldn't help but think that future generations would judge her actions harshly.
Silently, she prayed that Skystar would never have to make the same hard choices she had.

But a few troubling signs gave her pause. She thought about Equestria, and her old friend Princess Celestia.
Equestria was once the beacon of harmony, inspiring Novo and other monarchs around the world to rule in accordance with its principles. Now it was gone, trampled under the iron hoof of tyranny that had nearly crushed Hippogriffia. The world was now a much darker place.
This line of thought filled Novo's mind with doubt. With Equestria gone and the Queen of the Hippogriffs resorting to rule by brute force, the age of harmonic monarchy was truly at an end. She couldn't help but think that future generations would judge her actions harshly.
Silently, she prayed that Skystar would never have to make the same hard choices she had.''

- Queen Novo rubbed her eyes as she read over the latest reports from Seaquestria. She hadn't slept in days, but the intense stress she was under kept her from tiring. Around her everything was in chaos. Her office floor was covered by a constantly expanding sea of papers, and her palace was filled with government officials running to and fro in a panic.
Nothing had worked. To defeat the secessionists she'd curtailed civil liberties, carried out mass arrests, even declared martial law, but nothing had worked. Every escalation only served to add fuel to the fire. Instead of forcing the seaponies back into line, her crackdown had driven them right into the fins of the secessionists.
The queen read the last lines of the report and nearly collapsed. The independence movement had now become a full-blown insurrection, with seaponies taking up arms and storming government buildings. The most recent estimates claimed that the military could only hold out against them for two or three more days.
Novo's mind raced as she desperately tried to think of some way to save her kingdom. The stress became unbearable, until suddenly she froze and it all fell away. She realized there was only one thing left for her to do.
Gathering her ministers, she began drafting a decree recognizing Seaquestrian independence. Some part of her still resisted, since letting the seaponies go was an admission of defeat. But this was a defeat; she had failed to preserve her realm. She was the one who had driven the crisis to this point, the least she could do now was prevent it from escalating any further.
When the decree was finished Novo returned to her bedroom, hoping to finally get some rest. Before she drifted off, she closed her eyes and began to pray. To Tiamat, goddess of the sea, she prayed that the wayward seaponies would return home one day. To An, god of the sky, she prayed that when the time came for Skystar to rule, she would be a better queen than her mother.

As much as Vibrant Coral enjoyed her university studies on Mount Aris, nothing compared to being back home in Seaquestria. The sights, the sounds, even the physics of moving underwater felt just right. The only thing she didn't enjoy was discussing politics at the dinner table.
"The path our government is taking will lead us to ruin!" her father said, biting into a piece of kelp. "It all started with the occupation of Zumidia. That decision, while well-intentioned, made another war inevitable, and left us sinking precious resources into a very poor country with a completely alien culture. Raft Wood warned us about this, and nopony listened to him! Now, through the sacrifice of many brave creatures we've won another war, and what have our leaders decided on? More interventions, more occupations, more foreign aid! Pretty soon we'll be occupying all of Zebrica, and the average seapony's concerns will be completely forgotten."
Vibrant couldn't take his rant lying down. Choosing her words carefully, she replied, "I understand where you're coming from dad, but you've got it all wrong. Another war was inevitable before the establishment of the Zumidian mandate. Tyrannical regimes will always try to destroy free societies like ours."
Her father was unimpressed. "If the only way to preserve harmony is to topple every tyrant in the world, I'm afraid our system is doomed. Trying to force your values on others never ends well. We should focus on promoting harmony at home, in our own communities."
"Community! Yes!" Vibrant exclaimed, sensing an opening, "Harmony can't exist without a community to support it! If you view our community as just one country, then isolation seems like the right choice. But if you view our community as all of North Zebrica, you'll realize what our government is doing is absolutely necessary. We're not imposing our values on others! We're trying to empower harmonist voices within the countries we've liberated, so they can become responsible members of our community."
After a moment's pause her father said, "huh," and took another bite.

Raft Wood glanced back and forth between the two seaponies he'd brought together. Novo was stern, but Skystar was staring daggers at him.
He knew she would gloat over what he was about to say, but he wasn't about to give her the satisfaction of losing his cool in front of her. "As you are aware," Raft began, "The war has turned out not necessarily to Aris' advantage."
Skystar scoffed, but Novo raised a flipper and quieted her impetuous daughter. "Therefore, I have decided to preempt what I am sure you two are thinking, and offer my resignation as Chief Advisor. Before you accept it however, I have one last piece of advice to give you."
"Go on," said Novo, her mind racing with how to salvage the rapidly-deteriorating situation in Aris.
Raft Wood presented two laminated folders full of documents. He mustered all his stoicism and continued: "This will help you deal with the present crisis. I made a copy for each of you. It includes a number of my more controversial acts, which you could repeal in order to assuage the populace. It also contains lists of my appointments, outlining which were appointed on merit and which were appointed on more... political grounds. Feel free to retain or dismiss them as you see fit, with one exception: I would strenuously advise you to keep Violet Facade in your employ."
"So you can keep influencing us from behind the scenes?" Skystar demanded.
"On the contrary. Ms. Facade is the main reason we were able to stop Crack Lightning from turning Aris into a dictatorship, and she has worked tirelessly to protect it. She is no puppet of mine. Feel free to disparage me in any way you want; I know I will not be well-remembered. My only wishes now are that Aris survives, and I am able to fade into the twilight years of retirement."

As the last [HIP.GetAdjective] troops left Colthage, [CTH.GetLeader] gave a speech to cheering crowds. She thanked the hippogriffs for overthrowing the illegitimate tyrants who destroyed democracy and promised that Colthage will remain a beacon of freedom and harmony.

"Hey," said the soldier beside him, "We appreciate you being here, but-"
"No need to thank me!" Leather exclaimed, "I never would've passed up an opportunity to meet my long lost Chiropterran kin."
"Yeah, that's great, but try to move more quietly. We're passing through a very dangerous sector."
Leather smirked. "Have you considered that maybe you have so much trouble here because you're too afraid to approach the locals?"
The platoon caught sight of a village, and before he could be told not to, Leather Drums darted right in. The villagers were all in hiding, but when they realized he was a thestral they began to emerge.
"Who are you?" asked a sickly colt.
"I'm Leather Drums, a Moonspeaker from Ayacachtli."
"Do you mean New Ayacachtli?"
"No, old Ayacachtli, back in Equestria."
Gasps and quiet murmurs filled the village. "Are you with the hippogriffs?" said a young mare.
"Yes."
"Why?" she asked, horrified.
"Well I know they've done some things to you that were not so nice, but I promise they're not bad creatures. I'm here because I want to help end the war."
"If you're not fighting for the Nightmare," shouted an old stallion, "then you're a heretic!"
To everypony's surprise, Leather smiled. "Staying true to our faith doesn't mean dying for Nightmare Moon. Before the Lunar Rebellion, before even the arrival of Princess Luna, there was only the moon to guide our people..."

Leather winced. "...Yes, I was."
"Then why aren't you back there, fighting the solar tyrant?"
Leather took a deep breath. "I don't know how to tell you this, so I'll be blunt: the war is over, we lost. Nightmare Moon is gone forever."
The villagers became enraged. "If you're not fighting for the Nightmare, then you're a heretic!" shouted an old stallion.
Leather's expression grew stern. "That's a lie! I've seen all of my friends die horrible deaths fighting for the Nightmare, and now I've learned the truth. She's not our goddess, she's an evil tyrant! She threw our lives away fighting a hopeless war for power! If you continue to fight for her, you'll all die too!"
Shrieks of horror followed, then silence. "What do we have left?" someone muttered.

Equestria has refused to help us deal with the insurgency in Chiropterra. They claim that they cannot risk the lives of their citizens by sending them into an active war zone.
This refusal is tremendously disappointing. Many in our military were counting on Equestrian aid to help end the insurgency. Since the Chiropterrans are the descendants of exiles who came to North Zebrica from Equestria, it seemed only fair that they should help us handle them. It appears we will have to find a way to deradicalize the Chiropterrans on our own.

The Doctor's Trials

They made a point of conducting the first trial under Chiropterran law. This had a dual purpose: to show that the legions had repeatedly flaunted the laws that the civilians operated under, and to provoke outrage at just how many of the things the LMRD did were perfectly legal.
Ocean Spray, the mad scientist of the LMRD, was acquitted on counts of grievous bodily harm, murder, kidnapping, aggravated assault, and so on, simply because his victims were labourers. The trial was followed in depth by the media, and even former legionnaires were incensed as he was acquitted one by one of horrific acts of torture.
Of course, the way he had embezzled funds and inflated his successes, the fact that certain experiments were illegal for procedural reasons, and the terrorist actions of the Crescent Moon Society were all enough to get Ocean Spray and most of the others in the Doctors' Trial heavy prison sentences.
Then came the trial under Arisian law. Crimes against sentient life, war crimes, serial murder: it was enough to get Ocean Spray and several others hanged. At the end of the trial, a curious change had come over the Chiropterran public. They had always prided themselves on their ruthlessness compared to the weak harmonists, but their laws were so weak that only under harmonist law would the monsters actually be put down. The legions hadn't protected them. The legions had protected themselves, and given the experimental drugs the LMRD would sometimes test on enlisted soldiers and lower-ranking officers, Chiropterran opinion solidified that the legions were, essentially, a racket.
Much of the publicity was done by officials in the former Chiropterran civilian government. One Carrot Stick in particular had stepped up and ensured that every Chiropterran he could reach would get the play-by-play of the trials. In the aftermath of the trials, he also convinced several insurgent groups to lay down their arms in exchange for amnesty. After so long with the Chiropterran public stonewalling efforts at a proper peace, it seemed the tide was turning, and leaders were emerging on their side who were able to finally stop the cycle of violence.

The Warzenan and the Zarantian stared at each other, exasperated Hippogriffs on each side glancing about nervously. It was supposed to be quite simple: a certain rivulet without a name served as an obvious place to draw the border. But then the Zarantian surveyor had accused his Warzenan counterpart of diverting the rivulet to get a few more square kilometers of territory.
The Warzenan had immediately called in hippogriff surveyors, but their maps corroborated the Zarantian accusation. Then the Zarantian surveyor had produced his own maps... which had proven wildly inaccurate, and actually showed the rivulet in a position which would give the Warzenans even more territory.
Eventually the surveyors found that the rivulet had dried up and then returned flowing in slightly different locations several times over the last century.
Then something unexpected happened. The two zebras started laughing. "What does it matter anyways?" the Zarantian exclaimed, "All this land is owned by some Tobuckian farmers who'll probably apply for dual citizenship anyways."
The border stone didn't matter. The rivulet would move, the border would move with it, and the ponies living on the land would not particularly care one way or another. Zarantia had Tobuck, Warzena had Miharzehir and the isle of Darnaigh, and the locals could sort out exactly which side of an insignificant rivulet they wanted to live on.

Umalez looked out at the green bay. They were so peaceful, these waters. Despite the endless wars of the last few years, these seas remained.
She still couldn't quite believe her fortune. What her mother had built, what she had died trying to protect, it was finally restored. Restored by sheer fate, and the gratitude of another. Umalez had played a small part in directing that river of fate, of course. She'd gotten The Ironbreaker to Aris. She'd kept the Imazeeb alive through the long night. She'd kept the stories going, even when it seemed the Lunarist would take everything from them.
But ultimately, it was fate. Power could not be grasped and held onto by an iron will, or a firm faith. If that were so, Chiropterra would not have fallen. Fate favoured those it favoured, and abandoned those it abandoned.
Umalez looked back to the city of her birth. She would never forget her mother, but she didn't have to rule with her mother's strength and ruthlessness. Now was a time to heal, and to remember, and if time permitted, to enjoy peace. Fate would decide how long this time lasted.

Therefore, Il Duce has concluded a peace with [HIP.GetNameDef] which will see both nations' ships allowed free passage through each other's waters, but otherwise involves no territorial annexations or reparations. This largely-symbolic concession was necessary to avoid the humiliation of so many Wingbardians having died for nothing.
With this, the North Zebrican War is finally concluded, and we can return our attention to the Griffonian mainland. We must hope that the the occupations of Chiropterra and Colthage will keep the Hippogriffs too busy to try and exact revenge on us while we are embroiled in continental conflicts.

- With the defeat of Chiropterra and Colthage, [WNG.GetLeader] sued for peace, and we have accepted. Curiously, the conditions included, alongside a return to pre-war borders, a clause stipulating that neither nation would block the other's shipping through the Middle Sea.
Over the next days, celebrations broke out across Aris at the return of peace. Meanwhile in Wingbardy, Beakolini spun the entire war to have been about protecting Wingbardian trade all along. This has caused an outpouring of derision in our own press, as the simple truth is that Il Duce invaded us unprovoked and retreated with his tail between their legs: we had never once menaced Wingbardian shipping, but [WNG.GetAdjective] state media is now framing the entire war as having been a limited victory rather than a defeat.
Sadly, [WNG.GetAdjective] media is heavily censored, so their citizens may never get to hear our side of the story. They may never know the truth that their beloved leader threw their lives away for nothing and failed despite attacking us at our most vulnerable. Still, while the Wingbardians console themselves with lies, we can celebrate the truth: that [HIP.GetAdjective] sailors and soldiers defended our home despite great odds, defeating not only our local rivals but also humbling a great power. Once again, the light of peace and victory shine upon Aris.

- Crack Lightning laughed when he saw the treaty. "Giulio, Giulio, Giulio!" he exclaimed at the momentarily-stunned Duce, "You old vulture, I knew you'd pull something like this!"
As Beakolini blinked, Crack turned to the rest of his delegation. "Nothing I say leaves this room."
Then he turned back to Beakolini, a smug grin on his beak. "This treaty includes a provision that neither of us are going to harass the other's shipping. You sly bird, you. When you get back to Karthin, you are going to spin this entire war as being about trade, and tell your people you actually won! Of course, you and I know we've never threatened your shipping and that you're only signing this because I beat you."
"You have achieved nothing," Beakolini began, but Crack cut him off.
"I have achieved everything! My soldiers occupy your allies. This war which you thought would be an easy victory has resulted in Aris becoming the dominant power in North Zebrica. Go, tell your people you won, do your little Griffonian conquests, take Griffenheim for all I care! But know this, Giulio. When I first met you I admired you and your system: fascism is beautiful, and I wished I could be half the leader you were. But this piece of paper we're about to sign? It proves that I've surpassed you. Mount Aris has surpassed Karthin. And you will never forget that your former disciple defeated you."''

After years of military occupation and reconstruction, [HIP.GetNameDef]'s efforts in Chiropterra have finally come to an end. Chiropterra is no longer a militant theocracy ruled by cruel warmongers, it has become a thriving harmonic democracy. Some [HIP.GetAdjective]s still have a hard time trusting Chiropterrans, but for many others the wounds inflicted by the war are already beginning to heal.
Now that the new government is stable and secure, [HIP.GetNameDef] has decided to withdraw its remaining occupation forces and recognize [BAT.GetNameDef] as a coequal member of its alliance.
As the last [HIP.GetAdjective] forces left New Ayacachtli, [BAT.GetLeader] addressed the nation via a radio broadcast. He thanked the hippogriffs for breaking the power of the Lord Commanders and showing Chiropterrans the path of freedom and harmony.

- Azrael stared at the Moonburger. After everything the Chiropterrans had done, after all the bloodshed and the violence and the hatred, was he really about to eat this dish?
Silverstream chomped into her second Moonburger just across from him. "Mmmm!" she exclaimed, "Az, this one has kelp in it! This is so cool! Hey you!" she called, startling the cashier, "I wanna talk to your boss!"
The cashier, a Hippogriff named Cloudburst, was flustered for a moment before realizing he was talking to royalty and rushing off. After a couple minutes of Silverstream humming along while eating seaweed chips and Azrael looking awkward, a unicorn mare with a half-missing ear trotted out to meet them.
"Is the ah, the food to your liking?" she asked.
"You bet!" said Silverstream, "Do you serve kelp chips in Chiropterra too?"
"Ah, no, that's new-"
"Were you in the legions? You look like you were in the Legions. Is that how you lost your ear?"
"Y- yes, uh, yes ma'am, Nightmare Legion, Lance Corporal Umbralance, and uh," she stammered.
"And now you run Moonburger!"
"Now she runs a franchise of Moonburger," Azrael corrected Silverstream, "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to pry. We were just... um... enjoying the ah..."
Azrael took the plunge. He'd talked himself into a corner and there was no going back now. He raised the burger to his mouth, opened up, and bit.
As Azrael proceeded to devour the rest of his burger with ravenous abandon, Umbralance took a moment to regain her composure. "Well, I am ah, honoured to have the queen's niece and the famous war correspondent at my establishment. And yeah, getting back to civilian life was tough, but I actually took a liking to kelp while in a hippogriff POW camp. One of the guards shared some of his rations with me. So years later when I saved up enough cash to start a business, I figured why not give it a try adding kelp to the moonburger?"

- The creatures of Revolutionary North Zebrica had come to believe in the superiority of a collectivized economy, but there were small aspects of capitalism that they missed. Foreign businesses were commonplace before the revolution, but now they were practically nonexistent. Thus the opening of a new, foreign-owned restaurant in the capital was a very noteworthy event. It was considered so significant that the General Secretary herself was one of the first customers on opening day.
"So let me get this straight," [HIP.GetLeader] said, addressing the unicorn mare who managed the restaurant, "the idea for Moonburger didn't come from a central planning committee, it was a response to popular demand?"
"Yes, that's right." the mare replied hesitantly.
"That's highly unusual. What kind of socialist doctrine do you operate under? Who manages each restaurant, the state or the labor unions?"
"Well I, um, we uh..."
"Nevermind that, what about you? What's your background in labor organization?"
"I uh, don't really have any ma'am," the unicorn said, wiping the sweat off her hooves, "Before this job I was in the legions."
"A former legionary! I can scarcely believe-"
"Comrade!" Skystar yelled, interrupting the General Secretary. "Can you stop messing with the manager and just try the food?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry." [HIP.GetLeader] replied, picking up the Moonburger in front of her and taking a bite.
"Mmm, delicious! My compliments to the chef."
"So wait, you're not mad?" The manager asked, smiling nervously.
"Of course not! Dusk convinced me a long time ago that Chiropterra needs to find its own unique path to socialism. It may be a bit unorthodox, but you're doing a great job."''

Those were Ocean Flow's last words to her son Terramar before she left a few days ago. With protests and riots for Seaquestrian secession spiraling out of control, a congress of leading seaponies, including Ocean Flow, was meeting to decide the issue. The government is still adamantly opposed to secession, but it has allowed this congress to convene and promised to respect its decision in the interest of preserving public order.
Terramar was trying his best not to worry. He knew his mother would oppose secession, but what about the others? The independence movement had grown larger than he ever imagined it could. Campaigning against it kept his sister Silverstream so busy he'd barely seen her recently.
He thought back to the days after the Storm King's defeat, when his father had eagerly returned to Mount Aris while his mother decided to remain in Seaquestria. It seemed like everygriff chose to live in only one place. Back then he thought he'd have to choose too, but for him it was different. It was a choice between his mother and father. It felt like having to give up a part of himself. Fortunately the country was united back then, so he didn't have to decide. But if things went wrong today... he didn't want to think about it.
Terramar perked up as he heard Ocean Flow return. Her face was ashen, and she couldn't seem to look Terramar in the eye. "I don't know how to tell you this, but the congress voted for secession. You're going to have to decide who you want to live with. Like I said before, no matter what you choose remember that I will always..."
Before she could finish, Terramar bolted out of the room. Laying in bed, he stared up at the ceiling and cried.
