Secrets of Albicant
Added 2017-01-29 03:28:22 +0000 UTCA quick rough piece with some backstory attached. Kinda made so I could do that. My most worked out group from First Contact War.
An ancient and secluded group, originally founded to protect and maintain Equine existence amongst all other lifeforms. Often born and grown into it. Although barely known by most ponies, mostly just seen as myths, even when they were created, but especially more so with every passing moon cycle.
Their lives are often held to themself, they're a group that is highly isolated and self-reliant, operating under their own authority. Not having to answer directly to the crown was due to their intention to travel horizons far beyond Equestrian borders. Their loyalty lies with all equines still, to find all wild lifeforms and unite them under the Equine banners by any means necessary. Often resulting in either assimilation or extermination.
Having travelled far and beyond, they've encountered numerous fauna, flora and world anomalies alike. Discoveries and actions out of sight of any pony else, out of mind. It is not often realized what impact they have from the lives it affects. Whether positive or negative, controlling wildlife, subduing individuals, and other methods they've developed over their active time.
Some may question their methods, the myths, to question their ethics, their purpose, or simply what they've become. As mysteries have build, especially around their strange appearance all of them seem to share. What secrets they hold, and what power they've found.
