Plot Summary
"These being, humans are what they call themselves. They can be cruel, deceitful, and chaotic; but also cunning, persistent, and courageous. They are the best defense against the Starfall. For better or for worse, we need them."

-- Princess Celestia, My Champions, My Failures 

1980 years ago, an esoteric hostile race calling themselves the Cazmir suddenly appeared in the skies over the world of Equus, proclaiming the coming of the Starfall. Celestia and Luna sacrificed the power of countless magical artifacts and scattered them into the aether of multiverse, hoping to find individuals worthy to be their worlds saviors. Their desperate plea was answered and the threat was quashed, allowing the dark time to fall into the annals of history where it was soon forgotten. With the Cazmir defeated, the spell bringing humans to Equus died and soon things fell back to normalcy.
