Prologue:

Once upon a time, long before the peaceful rule of Celestia and before ponies discovered the beautiful land of Equestria, there was no harmony. It was a strange and dark time, a time when ponies were torn apart by hatred. During this frightful age, each of the three tribes – the Pegasi, the unicorns, and the Earth ponies – cared not for what befell of other tribes, but of only their own welfare. In those troubled times, as now, the Pegasi were the stewards of the weather. But for this they demanded something in return, food that could only be grown by the Earth ponies. Unicorns also demanded ,from the Earth Ponies, food in exchange to bring day and night with their magic. And so, mistrust between the tribes festered, until one fateful day, it came to a boil.

What prompted the ponies to clash? A sudden and mysterious blizzard overtook the land causing mayhem, and toppled the tribes' already precarious peace. But some had their doubts. Was it a mysterious blizzard at all or was it actually someones' doing? Some ponies said it was the Windigos, but only a few knew the truth. The Tale of Discord.
