So, my team and I have written, rewritten, revised and even trashed this story more than once. But for some reason the thing keeps popping back up. So I figured, let’s bring it to the Booru and get an opinion. There are plenty of unfilled holes in the new version but here’s every single detail I have as of 9/25/14 at 6:13 PM EST
On the continent of Equinox, there lies a great Empire. One ruled by the denizens of Night. Princess Luna and Prince Artemis, who so boldly in the past, defeated Princess Celestia and Lord Solaris in a desperate war to save the Equestrians from what seemed to be utter enslavement. This is the story spread by these remaining Denizens, written in every history book available.
Of course, nopony could truly fall for it so easily. They would have seen these events. Much more should go here, but all of it has been lost
We skip ahead to the most solid information available. The Land of Equinox, also called Isla Nova, is a vastly different environment. Entirely self-made. No pony has to help the plants grow. The rain fall, and the following is kept secret beyond all things: The sun and moon rise on their own.
A young Pegasus foal, Silencio Virtuoso Freesoul, or Silence is playing with his father in their house outside of New Ponyville. Night is falling, and Silence must sleep. Soon after going to his room , commotion is heard from the den. It ends with a loud bang and hoofsteps at his door. They leave, and Silence is left, alone, in pure silence. Investigating, the young foal finds his father dying in the center of their den. Now alone, the colt flees home for help.
This is where the story is left. Silence, having traveled for a full day, finds himself at the entrance to New Ponyville, a now bustling city of trade and culture.
We know of several characters, roles, and events that will happen. Before The War, a prequel in development, chronicles the merging of the two worlds in which both genderbends and originals live. This is considered the start of the New Age. Where our story begins. EDIN, as it is called, is extremely complex. At one point, a roleplay server existed, with a working economy system, currency, and of course events that would mirror the book.
The list of each known character and their backstory is below. All characters are given their own advantage or disadvantage. No character may be largely altered.
Silence:
A grey Pegasus, afflicted by a disease he contracted from his mother before her death, and his birth. His strain is now genetically integrated to him, and incurable. Said disease changed his colors, making him discorded and odd. His mane is a silvery white. Silence seems to be part Caster, the race of ponies who spoke Kas fluently. He can cast some magic through this at the cost of energy, great use can easily kill him.
Solar Blitz:
A Unicorn, and a rumored Son Of Luna. The young colt would rather burn than admit his heritage, as he was abandoned to Zebras alongside his brother Lunar at birth. In his quest to learn magic, Solar struck himself with a spell, coating his body in an ever-burning fire. This fire is now his strength, and potentially his life. His mane is normally ginger, but his fire burnt it away, and his recreation adds a white streak to its base. He can somewhat control this fire. Solar has been taught to read a language called Kas, which can be used to cast spells or hide code for those with a will to learn.
Lunar Blitz: Solar’s twin brother. An indigo colored Unicorn, Lunar can control the dreams of another, if they are weak minded. He often finds himself following Solar on some crazy quest of anger. He can speak Kas but has little use for it.
Luna and Artemis:
Denizens of the Night, they rule with Iron Hooves, neither of them are in their Nightmare Forms.
Janus: A mysterious adviser of the Rulers, his face and species are unknown.
The Mane Six:
The six ponies who wield the Elements of Harmony. They cannot truly wield the elements in the new world, but have full possession of the artifacts.
The Male Six: A genderbend to Twilight and friends, they all possess similar strengths and personas to their counterparts, and have their respective Elements.
Keepers (Of The Crown):
The Police, Military, Navy, Airforce, and SWAT of Isla Nova. They follow the orders of the Denizens of Night without wait, willing to kill, arrest, torture and threaten to get what they want or need. Many of them, especially elites, are given mechanical fittings to give the appearance of an Alicorn.
Groups:
The PATH:
Silence’s later founded rebel group. He, Solar, and Lunar lead the ever-growing renegades into battle, but mostly covert and small operations. They most commonly run courier and food services for the needy.
