Queen Sterling and Queen Gold Lily: The Lovers

Princess Sterling and Gold Lily ruled in tandem for hundreds of years. However, their shared rule ended sooner than they had hoped, as a terrible drought affected their homeland. At first they thought it would settle itself out, drought are natural! but after 2 years with no sign of letting up or cause… things had to be done.

Princess Gold Lily volunteered her vigil for the cause. Sterling refused to allow it, but she eventually came to agree, albeit begrudgingly. She flew away to a desert, chose a Plateau, and rested for eternity. That became the peaks of peril, a flourishing mountaintop forest with rivers that connect all throughout Equis, Where she lays is now the center of deep deep lake. Local Kirin avoid it

It was said Princess Sterling never shined as brightly as she used to. Isolating herself in their lovers arms, while having the royal council take lead in her absence until she returned. She ruled alone for hundreds more moons until she too felt the desire the call to rest. Her apprentice, Cirrus, took over after her leave.

And what became of her?

Who knows…

Can everypony please welcome my friend Morning Glory! She's the most considerate pony, or kirin rather, I've ever met. She enjoys sunshine, clean spaces, and general organization, so we tend to get along well in that respect. I just can't quite put my hoof on the value of her decoratives that don't do anything....

There is a severe lack of Tales of Nowhere content on here so I guess I'll do it myself.

A kindly old kirin found the lost schoolchildren deep in the forest; he kept them company as they awaited the grownups' arrival.

There's more to see in my shop; check my bio! 💚

I've been working on the Broadway musical crossover comics for a bit now and realized that all my favorite MLP songs are great because 1. they follow the formula for musical songwriting and 2. they usually directly reference a famous musical/scene. And I'm no theater nerd, but I'm pretty proud of myself for recognizing these!

There's the very obvious Phantom of the Opera extended reference in A Kirin Tale. And Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 being a parody of "(Ya Got) Trouble" from The Music Man.

But did you know Trixie and Starlight's Road to Friendship is just a HUGE parody of Road to Morocco?

Pinkie and Featherweight's tap dancing routine in the dance break of Pinkie's Present is a reference to Gene Kelly and Jerry's legendary number in Anchors Aweigh.

Rarity's Art of the Dress is a bafflingly obvious parody of Sondheim's Putting It Together.

in your au is zecora an earth pony, or does a different species such as a zebra or something closer to donkeys/asses exist? how does zecora, coming from a foreign land, feel about giant gods walking around everywhere - is this a new sight for her, a complete surprise or perhaps something whispered about in tales in her lands, or is there something similar to living, giant where she is from and in other regions as well?

There are many sentient species in the world beyond the main 3 "ponies" which are not all equines. Earth ponies are horses, unicorns are a species of deer, and pegasus share a common ancestor with griffins.

Horses, pegasus, and unicorns are only considered one species socially, because they can interbreed due to compatible chromosomes. However, the foal will always be either a horse, pegasus, or unicorn with no physical traits from the other species. It will be fully one thing or another, as will its children.

Zebras and donkeys are not earth ponies (horses) but they are closely related enough that they can hybridize with them. Non-horse "ponies" (pegasus and unicorns) cannot hybridize with zebras/donkeys. Hybrid offspring within the equines are sterile.

Unicorns can breed freely with horses and pegasus, as well as their relatives, the Kirin. Kirin/unicorn hybrids are sterile. They cannot breed with zebras/donkeys/griffins.

Pegasus can breed freely with horses and unicorns, but cannot breed with kirin, zebras, or donkeys. Pegasus can breed with griffins, and their offspring are known as hippogriffs, which are not sterile and have grown to create an entire new species. They have hybrid vigor and grow larger than either of their ancestor species.

Zecora is not surprised to see Celestia, as she carries the sun around the entire planet, including her home continent. Celestia is known through the world, and worshiped in some way or another through most of it.

Before and after her imprisonment in the moon, Luna is also known throughout the world as the bringer of night and keeper of dreams.

There are other gods besides alicorns. In Zecora's homeland, there are four great trees that stretch into the sky. These trees are actually the legs of Boabab, God of Life. Many thousand years ago, Boabab walked among Zecora's people, before its long neck stretched into the heavens to look for life among the stars. This god is much older and taller than Celestia, so Zecora was not particularly overwhelmed upon seeing her or any of the smaller princesses.

Other regions also have gods, but ponies tend to only care about equestria and often do not believe other species are important enough to become gods.
