I know where you wrote it down - its on page 6 or 7 on the MMB here - under one of the threads for the God characters. Anywho, I've been getting notes together since Whis decided on what she wanted to do with Xanadia. Ok, so a long long time ago, on the other side of Ponyland (the part not on the map) the worlds were thin and horses from Earth were able to travel across the rainbow to Ponyland (that part which is now Xanadia). Living as one with the magic there (this is where Sil's story about colors and such comes in, but only part of it) they eventually became colorful and grew wings and horns and such. Very few remembered (or even cared to remember) the technologies of Earth, but those who did passed it down to the next generation and so on and so forth, so it was never completely lost. Many of these ponies travelled the world in their boats and by foot and ended up colonizing the other side of Ponyland (DV/PV/Course, ect). Then the Mage Wars came, and if I remember correctly the pony in Fatum (Mina right?) sucked all the power her way and destroyed all the other power or something of that nature (I will go relook at that part). So as she sucked all the power out of the land (if thats what she really did, and if not she should have ) the trees went from their normal purple (like they are in Fatum and Xanadia) to the green that all ponies on this side now associate them with (basically, Ponyland started looking like Earth, which lost the magic long ago). So without the magic to rely on (this only went so far as the boarders of Xanadia, where they still live iwth the magic), ponies turned to those who still had the technological knowledge to help them survive (which had by then become mostly forgotten, even in the ponies who had passed it down. Which is why technology gets more advanced the more north you go - they all started out at Neraba/Course standards and moved up gradually). The ponies in Fatum (where the magic was drawn to and where the trees are still purple and such) know of Xanadia still (at least Mina does) but don't tell anyone else of it, because they don't want the techies to come and ruin it. Xanadia also prefers this. Oh yeah, and while Fatum and Xanadia still believe in the old gods, the rest of Ponyland turned to Rainbowism as their main form of worship. I haven't figured out why yet. Well, except for Neraba, which still believes in the old gods, but they are a special case (being underground and such). Then there isn't much to talk about for a while, except in Course which I will just link to (its pointless to rewrite all that). Then we get to the Shadoh and Haven's Valley, and Pone, and the begining of the Festival of Lights. Then on to more recent histories (alot of links to the original DV and the new DV and Course again, and Darklands, and BI, and whatever else). And then end with Ponyville History and the War of the Rainbows and then finally the Gods. IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD ADD? Anyone? If you have a bit of Ponyland History locked away in your head (and it doesn't mess up whats already down here) let me know about it and I will add it in! And if you can think of anything Amber, let me know.
