The Nox Panopticon. Few ponies know it even exists. Most of the ponies who do only know its name. Only a very privileged few know what it is: a secret off-shoot of the Royal Guard, set against the changelings in particular, and those who threaten Equestria in general.

The Regal Warden of the Nox Panopticon confronts the latest threat to come to Equestria: Shining Armor is a traitor and a murderer.

Like any job of the Panopticon's, though, treason is merely the cover.

A rewriting and new vision of a story I entered into the The Writeoff Association's 'Illusion of Choice' competition.
