Lore Changelingia: Changelingia is a nation with a long and complex history, and it is that exact history which has led to its current position as a global superpower. But not all is well with the now “Sick Bug of Equus.” The conquests gained during the great war have been unmanageable, only being quelled for the moment after a long and bloody war that has taken a large toll on the changeling population, which has become a far cry its militaristic pedigree. The people want prosperity and luxury, and in the eyes of field marshal Trimmel’s hardliner faction, they have become complacent and fat. On the other hand are the reformists, led by Dr. Marsilio and advocating for the further pursuit of a new demilitarized society along with a new, gentler civilian istration. In the center are the moderates loyal to Chrysalis’s leadership. For the time being they have been eclipsed by the extremes on the right and left. Either way, the people are angry at the current government; they look to the other movements to find a banner to march behind, and Chrysalis is becoming increasing stressed, tired, and in her old age is beginning to wonder what the definition of Changeling truly is. Only time will tell the fate of the Changelingia.
Will the queen accept the hardliner conservatives, and ultimately strive to return to the glory days of old?
Fractured Harmony - What if MARESOC reigns supreme across southern Griffonia? What if the Changelings won, taking over half of Equus? What if the Solar Empire was a shadow of Equestria’s former glory? All this and more is the world of Equestria at War in the year 1048. Equus is in flames, a powder keg that needs only a single spark for all out war to reignite, while Griffonia is locked in an deadly stand-off between the great powers of the continent.
What is Autocracy? — In an autocracy, a single individual (often a monarch) holds absolute power. An autocratic state often goes great lengths to ensure that dissident and seditious ideas are suppressed. The autocrats usually seek to increase their personal power and wealth by pursuing a policy of expansionism.
Biography: Ruler and despot of the Changeling Hives, Queen Chrysalis was the first of her race to unite them under one banner. From her hatching in 930, she has proven to be an exceptional individual. Being the only child of the dead Queen of Vesalipolis, she was raised with extreme care and given best possible education, which made her spoiled and arrogant, but also intelligent, determined and firm. She was crowned in 945 and fended off an attack from Vraks with her army. Soon after, the Vesalipolis-Ditrysium axis was formed, and it would be the embryo for united Changeling Lands.
Under her leadership, other hive queens either ed her voluntarily or were forced into submission. She became the sole absolute ruler of her species in 988, but her ambitions only continued to grow. She plotted to take over Equestria by infiltrating Canterlot and decapitating the nation with a single strike, and executed her plans in 1002. Chrysalis herself replaced Princess Cadance and had fooled nearly everyone, and had even bested Princess Celestia. It was by mere fluke that her victory was snatched away from her grasp and her people banished to the frozen North. Clearly infiltration alone is not enough to reclaim what is rightfully hers, and Chrysalis recognises the need of a powerful and modern military. Any opposition and protest to her despotic reign is swiftly crushed as she prepares to redeem her honour, or die trying.
