The Fallen
In the annals of history, the Fallen emerge as a formidable faction, once revered Alicorns who ultimately turned their backs on the Idle God and sought dominion over the mortal realm. These renegade beings descended upon the world with ambitions of seizing power for themselves, laying the foundation for an epoch of tumultuous change.
Establishing their dominion in a bygone era, the Fallen constructed the realm known as Havenfall, a bastion of their rule that stood as a testament to their might. Unlike the Alicorns of Equestria, these beings bore a distinct visage, shorter and more reminiscent of ponies. This deviation in their appearance arose from interbreeding with the mortal pony races, a compromise that weakened their innate magical prowess, though it did not diminish their formidable prowess in battle. Despite their strengths, the Alicorn population remained a rare and dwindling minority, suppressed by the overwhelming numerical advantage of their mortal counterparts.
Throughout the land, the Alicorns faced a long-standing oppression, their very existence met with tolerance in only one small corner of the realm, the modest country of Drate. In ancient times, the climax of their tumultuous history unfolded in the legendary Siege of Havenfall, an event that saw the hero Esper, bearing the resounding moniker Black Salt, lead a valiant charge against the Fallen. It was this heroic effort that would ultimately break the iron grip of the Fallen over Havenfall, setting in motion a new chapter in the annals of the Tanxunill’s history.
