CITIZENS OF EQUESTRIA!
THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE HAS RETURNED!
THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE HAS RETURNED!
Yes, the legendary Crystal Empire, once thought lost to the ages, has returned. Over one thousand years ago the Empire was ruled by a tyrant named King Sombra. He was a cruel and evil stallion who enslaved his people to try and feed his never satisfied greed for crystals. Princess Celestia and Luna succeeded in imprisoning him in the frozen wastes of the north, but he took the Empire with him in a curse.
But now the curse has been broken, and the Empire is back. With it, however, has come King Sombra. The appointed rulers of the Empire, Princess Cadence and her newly beloved husband Shining Armor, are doing their best to keep it safe. So far they have succeeded in protecting the Empire, but Cadence has begun to wear out. It is only a matter of time before Sombra breaks free.
Do not fret, however! Princess Celestia requests the help of any pony who is willing to join the Elements of Harmony in an expedition to the Crystal Empire. Let us help our brethren defeat this evil and bring peace and harmony to the land.
That’s right everyone, the long awaited return of the Crystal Empire has arrived! This is going to be the sites first massive plot, spanning hopefully several months with lots of smaller events and what not going on. But like any good story, we will be starting out slow. For the rest of March, if you wish to participate in the plot, simply post in the Crystal Empire. More instructions regarding missions and how to save the Empire will be posted here.
As a bonus for this new plot, everyone is allowed to make one Crystal Pony for free; after that, they will be available for sale in the site shop. So get ready everybody, because things are going to get epic.
