Ponest Dungeon
Celestia is missing. Without her, four unicorns' magic must be permanently sacrificed each day to raise and lower the sun and moon, lest the lands of Equestria freeze and the ponies' crops wither.
In Canterlot, Prince Blueblood—Celestia's only living heir—receives a letter of pernicious portent. He begrudgingly travels to Ponyville in hopes of mounting a rescue operation for the missing monarch. He begins hiring mercenaries to scout ruins within the Everfree Forest, where—soon—everypony slowly begins to succumb to the horrors—of the Ponest Dungeon.
