1000 years ago, Equestria was a very different place. The royal pony sisters, Celestia and Luna, ruled over half the land, controlling day and night. The other half, the Crystal Empire, was ruled over by the tyrannical King Sombra.

You were supposed to meet with the king to discuss peace. Your visit got off to a horrible start.
