"Harmony in Equestria wasn't something that just appeared, nor is it entitled to us - Though the magic of Friendship brought us unity, brought forth Harmony, this fragile flame was only protected from those who don't understand it, who don't believe in it, who seek to destroy it, through unforgettable sacrifice of its martyrs, the unwavering vigilance of its guardians and the unyielding strength of its people.
There was much conflict and turmoil in the years after the Windigoes, countless threats from without, from within and from beyond. So many wars had followed, so much was ruined, so many had died, so many dark deeds done that can never be washed away. Though at long last we had peace, we must always remember: all utopias are paved in blood, whether yours or our enemies'. Those who forget that lesson will pay with theirs."
--- Attributed final words of Hurricane, former ruler the Pegasi Tribe, First Supreme Marshal of Equestria's armies.
yes yes if you want to go and spoil science fiction with actual history sure go ahead remind me of what the ming warriors used or whatever they were called. I prefer to think Jaffa staves...even if it was wrong...
