My Little Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Equestria

It all started with a word. Harmony. What brought ponykind together and saved it from the evils that threatened it so long ago. Discord. Tirek. Nightmare Moon. Together, the ponies of Equestria stood up to those who wished its destruction and took them down or showed them the light of Harmony. Powered by the magic of friendship, there was nothing they couldn’t do. And among them, one group of ponies rose above the others, lead by what they called the Princess of Friendship. That group of ponies spread that magic of friendship across Equestria and beyond. It seemed like ponykind was destined for everlasting peace.

Ah, how wrong that turned out to be…

Nopony knows what truly happened to break the harmony Equestria had. But one thing they do know is that once it did, Equestria broke with it. The Princesses disappeared, the land was claimed by wild magic, and ponykind was scattered as their cities and society fell into ruin. Cutie Marks even turned into a thing of the past, and it’s extremely rare to find a pony these days with one. Many ponies turned feral and lived among the creatures of the wild, consumed by the wild magic that spread across the world. Those that weren’t Consumed learned to channel it to defend themselves. Even still, it wasn’t enough for the scattered and wandering ponies.

Another thing that cropped up due to the magic was what came to be known as a Mystery Dungeon. An ever-changing labyrinth filled with the Consumed, yet sometimes filled with amazing treasure. Forests, caves, even the ruins of Equestria’s cities all house Mystery Dungeons, and exploring them is very dangerous for a lone or unprepared pony.

Eventually, a group of ponies decided something needed to be done in order to keep its remaining inhabitants safe. They gathered in Rainbow Falls and formed the Explorer’s Society of Equestria. They trained and used Exploration Teams to go out and rescue ponies in need, as well as explore the many Mystery Dungeons throughout the land. Guilds started forming to help train them further, and small villages formed around those guilds. It was hard going, but ponykind has been learning how to stand on their own hooves again. Though, how long is it going to last?

Race Descriptions

It was a cool Autumn morning in Equestria. Birds were chirping on their way south, squirrels were frantically gathering nuts for the upcoming winter, and two ponies and a griffon were lying unconscious in the middle of a forest clearing. Wait, what? Is that in the script? Oh, we don’t have a script? Fine. So, two ponies and a griffon in the middle of the forest, unconscious. There was a pond nearby, where two ducks were quacking at each other. One the ducks waddled over to one of the ponies, a unicorn, and started pecking at the blue streak in her mane, thinking it was some sort of snack.
