Wired has released another new episode clip for Hearth Warming Eve. Obviously, spoilers are pretty prevalent, I can say this episode looks like it's going to be a really fun one though. Also, confound that cliffhanger!
Check it out here!
Or embedded after the break!

Awesome!
VastaKustutaFirsties? Fluttershy is too adorable
VastaKustutaWired gets all the exclusives?
VastaKustutaBritish Spike is winning!
VastaKustutaBritish Spike is best Spike.
VastaKustutaYAY
VastaKustutaSpike can't stop winning. That accent.
VastaKustutaSpike is Kevin Costner.
VastaKustutaI got a feeling the bgms in this episode are going to be fun to listen to.
VastaKustutaEvery day needs to be Saturday
VastaKustutaLooks like it's gonna be a fun episode. Glad we're finally going to get to see some background on the world :D
VastaKustutaYAY NEW!!
VastaKustutaconfound it!!
VastaKustutaHooray for an ensemble episode.
VastaKustutaI WANT MORE!!!!! I can't wait for the new episode!!!!!! :D
VastaKustutaSo excited for this episode
VastaKustutaI hope a discord prop appears in this episode
VastaKustutaThe cheif of the three tribes turn out to be the three new alicorns?
VastaKustutaWow their website is a tangled mess of scripts from so many different domains, I swear they do that just to piss off noscript users.
VastaKustutaSpike accent sounds like a poor attempt at British, but it's funny.
Also wired thinks bronies made the Humble Bundle lol.
Awesome! And THAT'S how Equestria was made.
VastaKustutaCOOL, YE OLD ENGLISH SPIKE IS BEST SPIKE!!!
VastaKustuta"Before the peaceful rule of Celestia..."
VastaKustutaOh yes, delicious backstory!
@Sgt Byrd
VastaKustutaNo, they said we made the Humble Brony Bumble (and linked to their blogspot), which we did.
As for this, OH MY GOD THIS IS INCREDIBLE
They will take the play to far, arguing that their race is better than the other(even though Alicorns rule) so they will fight it out until Friendship somehow saves it and then the crowd cheers as they thought it was part of the show
VastaKustutacan't wait any LONGER!!! GAHHH!!!!
VastaKustutaHmmm...so before Celestia and Luna became princesses, the Unicorns as a collective whole were responsible for day and night? Interesting.
VastaKustutaThere was DISCORD?! between the tribes?!
VastaKustutaOkay, this is impressive.
VastaKustuta*SPOILER ALERT*
Before Alicorns, before Discord, before any sort of unified society, the Earth Ponies grew food, the Pegasi took weather, and the Unicorns had day and night duty? So, what happened then?
this is going to be the best episode ever!
VastaKustutaThat last second OMG i CAN'T WAIT, such a tease
VastaKustutaAnd Celestia hasn't been there forever. That's also interesting.
VastaKustutaYou heard it here first: Celestia isn't needed to raise the sun and moon each day. A bunch of unicorns can do it.
VastaKustutaLol! WTF?! It is funny how there is an Vodka commercial before the sneak peek of the MLP episode. Doesn't wired.com know that little kids as well is looking at this as well? It just cracks me up!
VastaKustutaAnyway, this upcoming episode looks intense! I CAN"T WAIT!
The great Pegisi Enclave demands food.
VastaKustutaAAARGH! NOT SNOW!
VastaKustuta@naahdude
VastaKustutaThey said Humble Brony Bundle, then hypen, then they gave the definition of the actual Humble Indie Bundle (the collection of games).
I would rather wait to watch the full episode then to watch a preview
VastaKustutaOH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH. OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! I IS EXITED! cant wait :3
VastaKustutaWell, so far it's basically the same backstory that I used for the pony novel I wrote three months ago, so I've got that going for me. Which is nice.
VastaKustutaI think I get it. Before, a bunch of unicorns would have to work together to raise the sun and moon. But Celestia and Luna, being more powerful and immortal, could do it individually and indefinitely, allowing the unicorns to pursue other things.
VastaKustutaOf course, Discord's lulzy rule happened somewhere between these timelines, so maybe the unicorns were too busy trying to survive then do the whole sun/moon thing anymore.
inb4 the new villain is TRIXIE
VastaKustuta@Sethisto
VastaKustutaWhy would Trixie be the new villain? she just a loudmouth, Discord is were its at
Also, took me a couple of times to sound out that it was a blizzard, not a wizard. Ancient Ponies v. Discord would have been intresting to see.
VastaKustuta@Sethisto
VastaKustutaWe can only hope huh Seth? :P

VastaKustutaDid I miss the part of the clip where they mention a villain? Or somewhere else?

VastaKustuta@Sethisto
VastaKustutaOh, you.
I called it!
VastaKustutaI knew it would follow the plot of the Teacher for a Day app!
Well at least the Pegasis Enclave could become canon
VastaKustuta*spoiler*
VastaKustuta(Of course if you care about spoilers, why are you reading the comments anyway?)
Earth ponies confirmed for having a special connection with nature! :)
*Spoiler*
One can also extrapilate that this was before a great exodus into equestia by the Ponies of [Pre Celestia] pony land into Discord's Equestria.
VastaKustutaI was imaging it just like that! this is amazing! I was expecting it to conflict with my ideas completely but it actually makes them better! I am planning a fan fic I call The Great War of the Pegasus and it totally works with this preview clip! down to the Unicorns being in a higher class
VastaKustuta@Sethisto
VastaKustutaOr Spitfire, lol.
Unicorns raise the sun and the moon? Seems like a big scam.
VastaKustuta"Umm yeah, we raise the sun and the moon, so give us some of your crops."
@Mike
VastaKustutaWait, if earth ponies have a special connection with nature, and Fluttershy is a pegasus, THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
That really looks great... I like the fade to olden times that the clip seemed to end with.
VastaKustutaPoor Earth Ponies... such a ragged, peasant lot, held hostage by the other races. So will there be heroes like Starswirl the Bearded to lead each of their respective races to Pony Unification during the great blizzard?
Alright, this could be an episode that gives a little detail to Celestia and Luna that I was hoping for. ( I hope they give a lot of details between them IMO )
VastaKustutaI wish Spike could rhyme more with that accent. :D
VastaKustuta@Flutterfan
VastaKustutaImplication being that if the unicorns could do it, then to maintain eternal night, NMM must have been stronger magically than the might of every unicorn in Equestria combined.
My my, this dose look like a good episode.
VastaKustutaThat Blizzard!
VastaKustutaThis reminds me to an old comic someone did once. It also played in the old times at the beginning of Celestia's and Luna's reign and involved a blizzard!
@crris14
VastaKustutaSo who's making you watch the preview? It's really stupid and pointless to comment about how you won't watch a preview. So what? It's not just posted for you to consider. There are others in the world who aren't you, you know.
@Flutteryay
VastaKustutaIt's not that earth ponies have a special connection with nature, per say. Only crops and vegetables - the earth itself, if you will.
The pegasi have a connection with nature too - the weather. And for Fluttershy, animals.
Was that Lyra with BonBon wearing her hair differently or some new pony?
VastaKustutaAnd Unicorns are apparently the Holy Roman empire. Pay us and things get better.
Yes! I've always wondered how the 3 pony races came to get along! I can't wait now!!!
VastaKustutafuture mystery is always trixie
VastaKustutaSpike's positively prolific propensity for alliteration never ceases to amuse me.
VastaKustuta@Derpmind
VastaKustutaSure, the unicorns of Ancient Equestria COULD raise the sun and moon, but maybe it was a complicated process that modern unicorns are no longer capable of? You know, forgotten arts and such.
This episode is really exciting me. I'm going to be shocked if my fanfiction comes out unscathed, but happy either way!
@Sgt Byrd
VastaKustutaOh damn, you're totally right o.O
Winter is coming
VastaKustutathis is why spick is best pony.
VastaKustutahoping for discord
VastaKustuta"In the clip from Saturday's episode above..."
VastaKustutaWhich I can't see! Confound these mobile devices!
I so hope that discord had something to do whit that blizzard it who'd be sooo EPIC if he was in the play :D
VastaKustutaso they where once divided? sounds like avatar........
VastaKustutaI think discord will be mentioned here.
VastaKustutabecause he said that before celestia and luna chaos ruled the land.
i really hope he will be mentioned :P
Other than that i think it will be a good view on pony history and maybe some references to G1? xD
At the very end of the clip it transitions from the play to a "live action" (lol) animated scene like the rest of the show
VastaKustutaMaybe we'll get to see new characters in those parts? :3
Earth Ponies get the shaft again.
VastaKustutaGee, Earth ponies realy got the short straw in Equistory.
VastaKustutaPlease let Discord make an appearance somewhere.
VastaKustuta@Masquerade thats odd you can't watch it O_o I'm on the iPad and it works for me
VastaKustutaAutor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaAhhhhhhhh, so great. Really looking forward to it.
VastaKustutaNow I really can't wait for Saturday to come. Cool that Spike's breaking out the old English accent for this play. Something tells me I'm not gonna get much sleep tomorrow night.
VastaKustutaURGH.
VastaKustutaDamn cliffhangers.
Hey, I can work with that.
VastaKustutaUnicorn: Shut up! Will you shut up?
VastaKustutaEarth pony: Help, help I'm being repressed!
unicorn: Bloody peasant!
DAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
VastaKustutaI have so many questions now! Did this all happen while Discord was in power, before the princesses defeated him? Or was this before that? And if they hadn't discovered Equestria yet, then where were they? I NEED THAT EPISODE!!!
@Flutteryay : Fluttershy originally was an Earth Pony, so I guess she got "turned into" à Pegasus during the production and they didn't change her abilities .
VastaKustutaAnd we see the CMC a lot during that scene, I bet they will interrupt the play in a silly manner. ^^"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P985oULdfWs
VastaKustutaYoutube ver.
I like how they credit MLP fans for creating the Humble Bundles.
VastaKustutaYa know, I came here for the Fluttershy in boots + a scarf. I stayed for the video.
VastaKustuta@Flutteryay
VastaKustuta0_0...Oh god!
Did they use their combined efforts - unicorns, earth ponies and pegasi together, to somehow magically birth Celestia and Luna and usher in peace? That would be disturbingly close to a Christmas origin story.
VastaKustutaGAAAAHHH, when the clip ended i went like:
VastaKustutahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhdKoU69DA
i want that episode NAOW, and i'm not even gonna be home on saturday D: won't se it until sunday... *replays youtube link*
Wait, so regular unicorns can move the sun and moon as well? What is this?
VastaKustutaNotice the transition from the play into "reality" in the last seconds of the clip? Will it be present day or a flashback?
VastaKustutaYa know, I came here for the Fluttershy in boots + a scarf. I stayed for the video.
VastaKustutaThe historical representation reminds me of the feudal subsistence agricultural system in Medieval Europe...
VastaKustuta...
Perhaps Equestria is modeled after the European Union?
RIP Equestrian origin fanfics
VastaKustuta:D
VastaKustutaThis is the greatest. Fritish Spike is amazin'.
CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTT
VastaKustutaWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT.
I NEED SATERDAY NOW!!!!
PONIES!!!
NEED IT!!!
BACKSTORY!!!
YARGAFLARGAFOOODAGLUSBA!!!!!!
Huh... Interesting, to say the least.
VastaKustutaThis is sounding like The Land Before Time to me.
VastaKustutaFILTHY EARTH PONIES....
VastaKustutaall I could think about during that clip.
@Roland Wow. Somepony's desperate for Saturday morning to come. Though I'm sure all of us are in the same situation. Just maybe not to that degree.
VastaKustutaInafter the usual crazy and stupid theories people come up with. lol Also, stop bitchin' about fanfic origin stories dieing because of this, jeez.
VastaKustutaAnyway, now that I've bitched a little. lol It looks to be a really fun episode. I tend to really like Christmas specials too since it's my favorite holiday. Can't wait. :)
I WANT IT NAAAAOOOOOWWW
VastaKustutaI'm really looking forward to seeing how much fanon this breaks. Honest! It's fun to work within a shifting framework, as it gives me a real reason to rewrite things or start a new project.
VastaKustutaThis episode will basically be a fannon genocide.
VastaKustutaOh well, everyone knows: Cannon > fannon
@Flutteryay
VastaKustutamy headcanon: Fluttershy is half earth pony.
>DAT ACCENT
VastaKustutaGotta love Shakesperian Spike. This is going to destroy alot of Fan-origin stories, but create even more origin stories. Hope they dive into more Origin stuff so the fanfic writers will have good fodder to work with.
VastaKustutaNow this I will watch.
YES.
VastaKustutaEarth ponies were pretty much bottom bitch huh
VastaKustutahttp://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/story-first-winter-wrap-up.html
VastaKustutaSo evidently this story is almost canon. Going to be a fun episode to watch and then to see if there's any fallout from it. Hopefully it will be like when we found what Luna was really like.
Aha. If you'll excuse me, I have a chapter to revise...
VastaKustutaHuh. Dragon narrator, a species with a lifespan long enough to know the very history they speak of. How delightfully appropriate.
VastaKustutaI always knew Equestria had serfs at one point.
VastaKustutacan't wait for this episode :D
VastaKustutai can't help it, but as a lighting designer, i really feel like striking who ever did the lights for that play
VastaKustutaI'm thinking maybe unicorns can't perform incredible feats like raising celestial bodies anymore because throughout the years after the three species came together, unicorns haven't just bred with other unicorns and thusly have lost some of their power...? Just my theory. At least until Saturday.
VastaKustutaHopefully now we can look a bit more into what could make the earth ponies so special, since people like to guess that there's nothing good about them at all while the pegasi can fly and the unicorns have magic.
VastaKustuta@ClutterCluster
VastaKustutaI seriously doubt anything to do with pony breeding is going to be in this show aimed at little girls... remember?
AHHHHHHH epic I can't wait until Saturday this sis going to be awesome
VastaKustutaCONFOUND Episode snip-its now I know there is going to be a song in the ep
VastaKustuta@ClutterCluster
VastaKustutaI was thinking that it had to take several unicorns working together to do it. Seriously, that much power in the hooves of so many? No, if each unicorn could do it on their own then Discord wouldn't have bothered with HIS chaos.
... and when the earth-ponies, unicorns and pegasai treated each other as equals, they named their country "Equestria".
VastaKustutaThen the largest pony with wings AND a horn was made perpetual dictator.
And THAT'S HOW EQUESTRIA WAS MADE.
Celestia you foal! You've revealed that it is possible to make the sun rise without you! You've opened the door to revolution! Down with the gods!
VastaKustutaAlso, inb4 Pinkie playing Discord complete with hilarious costume.
So I take the storm came...and THIS MEANS WAR!?
VastaKustuta@Chaoyll: Well yeah. XD But didn't they talk about something similar in Harry Potter?
VastaKustuta@jayesell: of course I didn't mean individually. Lol Then any unicorn could have been an evil overlord if they had wanted to.
I had my suspicions for a long time that Celestia was not needed to raise the sun and Luna the moon, and this confirms it.
VastaKustutaThis backstory also highly pleases me because it makes something in what I am planning to write much easier to do than I thought it would be.
it would be so awesome if pinkie said ''and thats how i got my cutie mark!'' at the end of the episode. even though alot of little kids wouldnt get it, it would still be awesome
VastaKustuta@Wisdom Thumbs
VastaKustutaSeems a bit odd. They evidently don't do it now... So...
My guess? Unicorns have the power to raise the sun and moon. However, they don't NEED to. Maybe it was referring to artificially doing so for the gains of other ponies?
I know its a long shot, but its evident that Celestia alone probably wouldn't control both, or Luna would be useless, and unicorns don't seem to be doing so either. So my take is that the sun & moon move on their own like ours do- HOWEVER, they ALSO CAN be controlled by unicorns for artificial purposes.
Just a possibility.
Down with the Gods! we don't need them to raise the sun and moon.
VastaKustutaAnd that's how pinkie pie got her cutie mark
VastaKustutaI so can't wait for Saturday!
VastaKustutaTheory: Sun and Moon move on their own. Unicorns pretended to raise and lower them to get free food for 'working'. Celestia came along, threatened to expose their sham, so they passed the 'torch' of the job to her and Luna...who don't actually move them either.
VastaKustutaSaturday is going to be so awesome. Get off from work for the last time this year, come home and watch ponies, then head back to the OWB to spend Christmas with family.
VastaKustuta@Pinstar: Then does that mean Nightmare Moon was bluffing when she said she would cause eternal night?
VastaKustutaI love the smell of burning fan fictions in the morning.
VastaKustutaAlso I'm hoping the blizzard is caused by Discord or somehow involves him. He ruled before Celestia so it would fit.
Can't wait.
Inkie Pie!!!!
VastaKustutaHah!! Haha! Validation for my theories!
VastaKustutaAnd thus we can start to make some actual headway into Equestrian history.
One line of the article: "Apparently, there was DISCORD between the pegasi, the unicorns and the Earth ponies in the days before Equestria."
VastaKustutaMmmmmmmm... could beeeee... >;3
Sidenote: The fandom is going to have a massive hissy fit over Unicorns controlling the sun and the moon...
VastaKustuta@Pinstar
VastaKustutaIt's a... CONSPIRACY??!!
@Pinstar
VastaKustutaCongrats sir, you have just pointed out a large part of my fiction story. My Empire does believe that Celestia lies about controlling the sun
Spike's been awesome this series, and this shows no signs of abating.
VastaKustutaDO WANT!
VastaKustutaGAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Spoiler, Y U NO tell us rest!!!! ლ(ಠ益ಠლ
VastaKustutaOhmigoshohmigoshohmigoshohmigoshohmigoshohmigoshohmigoshohmigoshOHMIGOOOOSH!
VastaKustutaTwo things, 1. That onepony who leaned forward at the mention of ponies being "torn apart" 2. At the very end it's going into flashback mode. Can't wait. :^)
VastaKustutaThere goes all fanon speculation about alicorns as fourth pony race and Celestia and Luna's parents. Oh well...
VastaKustutaThis is looking like a slippery slope here. Better wait and see.
VastaKustutaHrmn My theory....
VastaKustuta*SPOILER*
An Earth Pony some how will get a unicorn horn and Pegasus wings and thus be the first Alicorn "Created", So that the fighting will end between all 3 groups. They literally have to "come together" in order to get peace and defeat the villain. :) Then from that day on the Alicorn is praised as a hero and a ruler because it's a "3" in one deal.
*SPOILER END*
.......Just sayin my theory.
@Koji
VastaKustutaIndeed :P
Though one thing that DOES make me wonder... If the sun & moon weren't moving naturally from the start... Then how could life exist? I mean, it's pretty much scientifically impossible to live through those conditions, or at least to have plantlife and stuff like that live in those conditions. But even then, I'm fairly certain animals can't either, let alone have any food to feed on :P
My guess? They could artificially move the sun & moon. Unicorns need to do it in groups, but very powerful ponies (alicorns) can also do it. They may have used their powers to give Earth ponies advantages with their crops by changing sun/moon stuff to change day/night. That's why they demanded payment. I mean, obviously unicorns wouldn't just leave it JUST day or just night forever. It was probably a skill that unicorns had that they used to help Earth ponies, and demanded payment for their help.
Which also mean Celestia & Luna have the power to control the sun/moon (hence Luna's evil) but still have it continue to move around even when she was banished. (I doubt Celestia can do it or Luna would be purposeless; Plus, Celestia's cutie mark is a Sun, not a moon. And we haven't seen any unicorn gatherings for moving the moon; nor heard of anything like it.)
Just a theory.
It's probably all a case of the "overthinks".
VastaKustutaPersonally, I'm of the opinion that Chaos created Celestia and Luna. If not from scratch, he took them as ponies of some variety and created them. I mean what's more chaotic than a mash-up of several different species?
Of course, it wouldn't be his best plan in the end since they were his undoing...
Chaos.... why did I say Chaos? Discord. Discord is what I meant.
VastaKustutaBRITISH SPIKE OH GOODNESS
VastaKustutaOh-HO! Judging by the end of that clip, it seems to me the episode is actually going to take place back THEN, with the main ponies... apparently having ancesters that looked just like them, will be the central conflict. Very interesting...
VastaKustuta@mike zero hey thanks for pointing that out. Looks like a veryyy interseting episode. Can't wait.
VastaKustutaTis going to be a most epic episode if I do say so myself.
VastaKustutaYES! A FLASHBACK! A REAL FLASHBACK!
VastaKustutaBuckit! I was already onto it when the video stopped DX
VastaKustuta@Travis Smith Wait... how can it be a conspiracy if everyone knows it... that doesn't make sense.
VastaKustuta@Chip Heres a thought! WHY DON"T WE WATCH THE BLOODY EP BEFORE WE MAKE CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
VastaKustuta@Kyronea HOLD ON THERE MAESTRO, we don't know for sure whats giong on, lets us wait UNTIL WE SEE WHATS ABOUT TO HAPPEN, SO LETS WAIT FOR A MOMENT, SHALL WE!
VastaKustuta@Meganerdbomb Let us wait till saturday shall we to find out.
VastaKustuta@Sai
VastaKustutaI said,
My EMPIRE believes she dosen't. We are a completely separate nation of Equestria, we have a very different belief. And I so far only few know, the rest of you Celestia praisers believe it
@John
VastaKustutaUhh dude Spike did say and quoted, BEFORE CELESTIA AND EQUESTIRA so i assume this is set LONG before those two show up
"And before ponies discovered our beautiful land of Equestria"
VastaKustutaThis solves the old debates! Equestria isn't a world, it is a country.
So when is the next episode going to be shown after this one cant find info would like to know plz
VastaKustutaSo the unicorns can control day and night without Celestia and Luna...So much for all powerful Goddesses. Also Earth pony peasants.
VastaKustutaThe pegasi demand....a shrubbery!
VastaKustutaAlso, does Spike suggest that coconuts migrate?
sweetie belle's gasp face = adorable :D
VastaKustutaanyway~ looks promising can't wait til uh... however many hours until the episode airs :D
I'm so excited :D
VastaKustuta@Travis Smith
VastaKustutaThen can you explain why the sun didn't rise when it was supposed to when Nightmare Moon returned?
@HMorris73
VastaKustutaIt quite simple my friend, their moon is obviously on an elliptical pattern such as ours. Well sometimes an event occurs where the moon runs in contact with the suns rotation. A Solar eclipse occurs once the moon passed in front of it. Who's to say their day is as long as ours? Or they just over exaggerated on it in the story
Whoa.
VastaKustutaSo, considering the 1,000 years of Luna's durance, and rule of the Pony Sisters long enough for Luna to become disenchanted before that, and the discovery of the Elements by the Sisters before that, and Discord's rule before that, and ALL THIS STUFF in the clip before THAT...
This is some freaking ANCIENT history.
@Natzo please control you stupid ass comments this is set before THERES AND DISCORD RULE!
VastaKustutaalso i apologize i am just sick and tired of the whole lets assume gravy train everyone on, especially sense we havn't watch the episode yet.
John Joseco fanart GO.
VastaKustuta@Travis Smith i see but also i must point out that even BEFORE equestria was even made so this is SET WAY BEFORE DISCORD WAS EVEN THERE.
VastaKustuta@Travis Smith
VastaKustutaIf it was an eclipse it wouldn't look like the sun was just rising when it was over. And what do you mean story? I'm talking about when she returned after 1000 years.
Doctor Whooves, actor extraordinaire!
VastaKustutahere comes some more fanon demolition..
VastaKustuta*rubs hands* BUENO
@Natzo
VastaKustutaBut how many unicorns did it take to raise the sun and moon? How hard was it for them to do compared to how effortlessly Celestia seems to be able to do it on her own?
Either way, while it is quite clear that Celestia is very powerful, she's never been presented as being omnipotent, nor do her subject seem to worship her as a goddess.
@Sai
VastaKustutaYou're telling me theorycrafting is now conspiracy theories?
That or I'm being trolled. But I'm going to try to stick with the latter due to my desire to keep faith in mankind.
Yea this episode is gonna be awesome
VastaKustuta@Chip I'm just saying we should wait till the ep PREMIERS before we jump the gun. remember how we all thought scootaloo was going to be RD pet.
VastaKustuta@HMorris73
VastaKustutaThe most probable explanation is that Celestia and Luna's powers are strong enough such that their sway over the celestial bodies cannot be impeded by regular unicorns.
Either that or modern unicorns have just mostly gotten lazy since Celestia has ruled them and have forgotten how to do it.
The ***LAND*** of Equestria... meaning that, indeed, as MANY-many people said and theorized...
VastaKustutaEquestria is a 'land', a territory : A country/Nation.
... ... ...and if I'm hearing right, the *Immortal Princesses-Goddesses* Celestia and Luna came later, most likely to Unite to 3 groups of ponies together.
No information yet about the 'Princesses VS Discord' thing, relative to that, though.
Considering at the end it started snowing, I'd have to say it got really cold, (Ice Age) and nothing grew.
VastaKustutaBasically, they, Earth, Pegasus and Unicorns found themselves all in the same boat.
What got them through it, out of it and to Equestria, I seriously doubt it's going to be the birth of Celestia/Luna as that's too obvious and not much in the theme of a lesson.

VastaKustutaEarth ponies, Y U so subjugated?!?!
VastaKustuta@Nova25
VastaKustutaI think a story about Celestia and Luna vs. Discord would make an awesome movie.
And I would totally wait in line for an opening night Midnight showing of that.
@Sai
VastaKustutaI don't recall mentioning anything about their rule, only their power. They don't seem to be necessary for the process.
@Parakarry Fluttershy has a special connection with Animals due to her special talent, not a connection with all of nature due to a racial trait. She's still a pegasus with the ability to control the weather like Rainbow Dash, and she doesn't have the strength and power to make things grow like Applejack or Pinkie Pie have.
VastaKustutaPinkie Pie is actually a lot like Fluttershy (and Rarity) in that they stray off of the beaten path for their race and and work with their special talents without drawing as much upon their racial traits as the other three of the Mane 6.
@Shiranai
VastaKustutaWell, Celestia's and Luna's control over the sun and moon doesn't have to stem from their being Alicorns, it could just be their special talents with them being Alicorns just giving them long life and the abilities of all the other pony races (makes sense, what with their cutie marks being the sun and moon). Twilight could possibly be a more powerful magic user than Celestia.
Maybe Alicorns aren't god-like beings, just genetic flukes that due to their long lifespans are better suited for rulership than other ponies.
I have to say I love how the pegasi culture seems to be modeled after ancient greece. Right from the architecture in Cloudsdale to the costumes.
VastaKustuta
