In the beginning, Princess Celestia created Equestria in all its glory and majesty. But Equestria was, at this time, without shape or form. So Princess Celestia did tap her hooves together and said, "Let there be light!" And at that moment, a brilliant rainbow shone over the plains of Equestria as a sign of the beauty of her creation. How this glorious rainbow heralded the becoming of Friendship and Magic across the lands of Equestria! Celestia was pleased.
In those first days the stone which forged the great mountain ranges of Equestria was formed: - to the north, the Crystal Mountains, with brilliant snow-capped peaks, and from it, a font of water that trailed from the ranges into a glorious sparkling waterfall: Neighagra Falls. To the east, the elms sprouted and formed plant life in the White Tail Woods. Princess Celestia did gaze upon all that she had created in those few days and neighed with hushed excitement, for what she had made was very good.
