Long ago in the magical land of Equestria, everything was
perfect. Ruled over by a pair of magnanimous twin sisters, and guarded by the
legendary wielders of harmony, the kingdom and its neighbors weathered numerous
cataclysms and experienced unprecedented prosperity as unseen before the
Nightmare War. Together, the rulers Luna and Celestia, along with Princess
Twilight and her loyal friends, built Equestria into the wonder of the
world.The reach of the rulers expanded beyond the borders of Equestria into the
wilderness beyond, bringing in new ideas and new species as well as old. The
new borders spread unto the coastal waters of the Great Capricorn Sea, bringing
Equestria into contact with the Zebra Lands. While also bringing the
changelings of the Great Wastes, now a shattered specter of the monstrous
threat they were once, into the New Equestria. Meanwhile seeking to understand
the cosmos she had once been banished to and which she had once banished her
sister two, the Royal sisters funded a space program to the creation of extra-planetary
colonies to better understand the universe. Led by the finest science ponies
and astromancers the world had to offer, the first colony was established on
the frosty moon of Faxi, A distant but habitable moon at the very edge of the
solar system. There the science ponies and first colonists discovered the remnants
of ancient gods long since frozen, and a great dark sea beneath the layers of
ice. Thousands transferred, seeing an opportunity for discovery and new opportunities,
but most only finding cold and wildlife from their own world grown feral and
mutated by magic. Faxi may be a beautiful moon, but it is a cold one. And being
so distant from the warmth of Celestia’s sun or the watching gaze of Luna, many
inhabitants feel utterly alone. The trip to Faxi from Equestria is at least 20
years, and fewer and fewer trips have occurred lately. Now many towns have
declared themselves independent of Equestria, and much of the planet is entirely
locally run. On a cold barren planet, rich in secrets and predators, alone and
at the edge of the solar system, it seems nothing is sacred to ponies these
days. Perhaps not even friendship.
