These are very powerful beings, but they have the personalities of normal ponies and there is lively debate among scholars as to their actual divine status. The main religion of the pony nations of Equus involves their alicorn rulers. Of note are the hives of Queen Chrysalis (NE), Princeps Lepidoptera (LE), Countess Sanguina (NE), and Chieftain Mandible (CE). Each hive has an evil ideology the leader has adopted and they are in constant shifting alliances and wars. Outsiders know very little about the insectoid race, but they have as complex of a society as the ponies do, lurking right under their noses. These abandoned lands and forlorn hopes often feature in the lives of heroes.Ĭurrently six changeling hives are known to exist in Equestria. Ponies often abandon areas under a migration for a few years to wait out the chaos, while the griffons, futilely, send armies to oppose the dragons, with huge rewards for those lucky or brave enough to survive. No one but the dragons themselves know why they choose to roost in one place at any one time, but the gold hungry wyrms cause no shortage of trouble for the lands they fly over, leaving eggs that hatch into troublesome wyverns, kobolds and even true drakes along the way. ![]() Now they live on high mountain tops, including Canterlot.ĭragons hordes roam both Equestria and the neighboring griffon continent, migrating over the centuries as birds do over years. Ancient records indicate that they once ruled a vast and ambitious nation, but some cataclysm brought them low. ![]() Goats are another people who live among ponies and others. Some live on the fringes of Civilized lands as bitter wanderers and others live a nomadic life in the cold northern steppes where the Crystal Empire once ruled. The survivors among the elks were vastly displaced and fractured in two. Ever since, the two nations have remained strong trade partners, and are among the only sources of stability and law on Equus. When the two peoples first met, the griffons tried to swiftly conquer the ponies, but unlike the Elken tribes that had been unable to stop the imperialist griffons, newly united Equestria leveraged its huge population and economy to fight the Griffons to a standstill.įleet actions and pegasus strikes were able to cripple the griffon's agricultural economy without serious civilian deaths, earning the ponies begrudging respect from the griffons who agreed to a ceasefire in exchange for Equestrian surplus grain. Today, most of Northern Equestria was once Imperial lands, and adventurers scour old Crystal ruins for treasure, but the darkness of Sombra's evil remains.Ī shallow ocean separates the continent of the Griffon Kingdoms from the ponies, and it's capital Griffonstone. Losing badly, Sombra destroyed his crumbling empire rather than let the alicorn sisters have their victory. Economic stress lead to the overthrow of the alicorn empress and the tyranny of King Sombra. The Crystal Empire was one such rival whose destiny was forever altered by Equestria. This catastrophic event still shapes events decades and even centuries later. Celestia was victorious, and Luna was banished to the very moon she raised each night. The civil war was a long five years of war and hardship, and the conflicts of today were forged in its fires. But a few decades ago this Diarchy was shattered. Not long after founding, the alicorn sisters Luna and Celestia took over rule of the nation, to vast success and public adoration. ![]() Originally a forward base of the Pegasi military, it's now the bustlin city of Cloudsdale. The pegasi have a mobile cloud city as their base. It's central location and already noble population made it the obvious pick as the Capital of the Pony nation. The Unicorns have their major settlement at Canterlot, at the top of the tallest mountain in Equestria. It was formed by the unification of the unicorn, pegasus and earth pony tribes, by far the three most numerous types of pony, and thus by sheer population it dominated its rivals economically and militarily.
