[size=0.75em]-The story has been transferred from an older account due to it having gotten flak for reasons unrelated to its content.[/size]

[size=0.75em]-Went through a first revision in June 2016, then a second in August 2016.[/size]

[size=0.75em]-Was outlined and written before the airing of the season five finale, thus naturally takes place before the events of that piece from the source material and makes deviations from it.[/size]

It is just another day in Our Town. Its mayor, Starlight Glimmer, is contacted by a nameless wanderer who speaks of a faraway place. A wretched place, wrought with poverty, plagued by violence, and ruled under the merciless jackboot of a remnant empire in decay. It is a place where the unscrupulous flourish, and the virtuous are eaten alive. By its own denizens, it is known as the Wasteland. By the Equestrians, it is known only as an obscure myth.

And Starlight is the only one who can save it. So that is what she has set out to do. With an aged survivalist to guide her, a ruthlessly sharp wit to support her, and a lust for power to drive her, she has left Our Town to embark on a march of conquest to bring her own order to a dying land.
