Blast from the fanfic past

So, for reasons that I'm not going to go into for the minute, I went searching back through some old notebooks and found my bullet-pointed summary of "Ancient legends + history of Ponyland (Terra Equerum)". Oh boy. This was... pretty ambitious. I mean, I don't know when I thought I was going to get time to write such an epic. o.O' The bullet-point version, with some editing for better clarity, is underneath the cut below.

A confession: while the vast majority of names (bar any characters created by Hasbro) are my own invention, there are five which aren't. Seraph, Shade, Starbirth, Wind Chaser and Brutus were all inspired by fan art posted by "Bouncy" on the old Quacker County message board. 'Starbirth', 'Wind Chaser' and 'Brutus' were the names actually used by Bouncy for the characters she had created; 'Seraph' and 'Shade' were adapted from her original names of 'Seraphim' and 'Shadowglory'.

( Very very long - you have been warned )

And if you read all that, go have a lie down; you've earned it lol.
