Give me the Idol of Boreas or give me Death!

@OptimusPrimevil  
Must belong to the GODS!

@Sr Pelusa  
makes you wonder what future generations would think if they found our stuff in the future?

In the past, when people found prehistoric fossils, they thought they belonged to dragons and giants.  
So when mammoth and and mastodon skulls were found, they assumed they belonged to Cyclops. The eye is the trunk hole  

 
Also, a dinosaur called Protoceratops was the basis for the griffin:
 

Not just that he died in the fall, but given it’s with the back to the wall, he was fucking decapitated on the way down.

Grogar’s Minion?

spoopy

But whatever, this was a proper Whoa Moment. @Background Pony #2B6E hits the nail on the head for a lot of the symbolism, and I’m a complete sucker here for flowers growing through and the remnants of past conflicts and hinting towards later peace. Maybe that’s me soaking in inescapable Brit/WW1/armistice culture, but Laputa gots it too.
 
Hope is good.

Legendary ones. History was kinda in its infancy when the tales were bound up in books…
 

 
Says Wikipedia, last edited on the 2nd. I must look deeper into this, but I’m impressed by how the writers and show runners have been digging through the myths here.

Except in the valentines episode a funeral was shown.

Now we can hope see some Pony bones.

@Hollow_Shades_resident  
This is.  

 
So if a tip can take seed, imagine what the entire horn is capable of.

@anonymous-pony  
The comic ain’t canon. :^)

@PonyPon  
Crumbled to bits and scattered across the lands. Princess Amore was ‘done in’ by Sombra, Sombra by Spike and Cadance. The horn still exists and contains it’s magic. Even it was said that Princess Amore could still be revived under the conditions that she was brought back together.
 

 
So Sombra, facing the same ironic fate, would have to endure the same circumstances. Not only that, but we’d have to dig into Sombra’s abilities as well.
 
Example: if a detached/severed fragment of Sombra’s horn can breed darkness, then his full horn by extension would be like Sauron’s ring; full of his power and by extension a great source of his existence.
 

 
So by Hasbro’s logic, Sombra is still alive.

 
everyone calm yo tits

@anonymous-pony  
And, I’m not sure if you can make that connection, as the two were not killed the exact same way.

@anonymous-pony  
Hardly seems like it would count, as he didn’t die on screen, and I doubt Thiessan would be serious about that anyway.

@Rob50  
@PonyPon  
When the writers of the comics wrote the Sombra arc for the Fiendship series. They went to Hasbro for the approval of certain things, when they wrote the scene for Princess Amore, Hasbro said that they didn’t want her ‘dead-dead’. So by extension, Sombra, by Word of God, is denied as kill.
 
But an added tidbit, Thiessan said that there would be a death in season 5. So is this guy it?

@anonymous-pony  
Pretty sure they confirmed the opposite.

@anonymous-pony  
When was he confirmed not dead?

@Background Pony #46EB  
Again, Sombra was confirmed ‘not dead’ by Hasbro themselves. So by Word of God, Sombra still lives… in several pieces.

@Chaos_Master  
I think they would have probably called him Grogar but the name was taken or something so they had to change it, or they were just paying homage to Grogar.

@SeraphimDawn  
Forgetting Sombra?

This is a first. A DEAD VILLAIN!
