Lore Update!

Terra Equus, Unicorn, and Pegasus will no longer be only describing horse-like animals, but all one and two-toed ungulates (horses, donkeys, deer, cows, goats etc.)

Terra Equus will be describing any hoofed animal species with no horns or antlers (horses, donkeys, zebras, etc.)

Unicorns will be describing any hoofed animal with horns (they must have 2) (goats, cows, bison, etc.)

Pegasi will be describing any animal hoofed animal with antlers (deer, moose, caribou, etc.)

What will not change:

-All Alo (Terra Equus, Unicorns, and Pegasi) will still be colorful, I'm not planning on making any of these species more realistic, just more distinct from each other

-Unicorns will still mostly sport two horns that rap around each other to make it look like a single horn

-Pegasi will still be covered in feathers, small, and able to fly (for the most part. A penguin Pegasi is kinda out of luck), the bucks just have antlers now

-Most of what I said about the lore of this world remains intact, the only thing that is changing is the way each Alo type looks like. Making this much less of a My Little Pony rip-off and more of its own thing. I'll be making proper species posts soon

Thank you for reading!

Unicorn, of the Stars

Unicorns known for they're magical prowess and technological advancements, they are possibly the most pacifistic of the three Alo* tribes. However they are no strangers to selling weapons to either the Princedoms of Pegasi or the Territories of Terra. They are characterized as a bit self-important, and even a bit xenophobic at times, though you wouldn't see too many of those types of Unicorns out on the frontiers of New Dawn.

Indigo Glory and Nova Galaxy are siblings that both decided to come to the New Word separately, only to realize that they had made the same choice and mostly for the same reason. Both Indigo and Nova had a little bit of a falling out with each other a few years before the beginning of their adventure to New Dawn, so the air between them is a little tense.

Indigo was a high ranking officer in the Empire of Unicorns' standing army (the one that they swear that they don't have), he both chose and was kinda voluntold to go and become the captain of the Fort's militia. He didn't mind though, as he would have figured out a way to become a settler one way or another. His older sister being apart as well was a bit of a surprise, but there is a hope that maybe they can make amends... maybe.

Nova, on the other hoof, realized that there was a need for doctors in the new world. With the chance to study new diseases and study the stars in a new continent, it was a wonderful opportunity. And the fact that she had an excuse to leave the big city was a happy bonus, too. Too bad her stubborn younger brother had to also come along...

Sunrise isn't the biggest fan of the prissy Pegasus lord, but Blazing Skies doesn't seem to mind...

They are now a lot more horse-like

Transcript (cause my writing is bad lol):

Sunrise: You are the most pompous, arrogant, soft-hooved stallion I have ever met

Blazing Skies: You want to kiss me so bad

Pegasus, of the Sky

Pegasi are the smallest and most agile of the Alo* races, but don't let their tiny stature fool you. Bright and mighty are these little Alo, and known to be quite the warrior like race. They also happen to be the only ones who actively eat, hunt, and domesticate food stock of other animals, with sharp teeth and clawed grasping hooves to boot.

Heart Throb and Blazing Skies story before coming to the new world was a pretty simple one. Heart Throb was a young, un-braided** mare with very little idea of what she would do with her future, and in desperate need of money. So, to get by, she decided to work for Lord Blazing Skies and his personal seamstress. While Lord Blazing Skies, on the other hoof, is the youngest in a family of 15, struggling to find his purpose as a lord and as a stallion. He's cocky, foalish, and can be downright insensitive at times. But he has a good heart, and would never do anything to lose the trust of the Alo he's meant to lead. It does help that he has Heart Throb to keep him in line. She's not the type to sugarcoat what needs to be said, though she's far sweeter about it that Sunrise.

*Alo: a word used for Terra Equus, Pegasi, and Unicorns. Equivalent to using the term "people"

**Un-braided: unmarried, braiding is the term most use for getting married. One of the most common ways of showing you're braided is to have a colorful rope tied to your hair or feathers, it's not the same in every Alo country, but it's about as common as having a ring on you finger in the real world to show you're married

I 100% need to make the Alo more realistic... they still look like MLP ponies and not their own thing.

This is what I get for keeping them colorful kek

Terra Equus, of the Soil

Terra Equus (or Terra for short) hail from the continent of Golden Field. They are a strong and hearty Alo (the common name for all Terra, Pegasi, and Unicorns), known for their speed and way with the land.

Before the start of the story, Sunrise and Forest Slugger were (and are) foalhood best friends, and were chosen to be apart of the colonization efforts for the recently discovered continent of New Dawn. Forest was chosen for the fact that he was a Trailblazer (basically an explorer), and Sunrise... well let's just say she bullied the stallion picking the colonizers to let her join. Being friends with everyone tends to have it's perks.

Welcome to the worldbuilding blog of Fort New Dawn! An original fantasy story based off of My Little Pony, but with it's own twist.

On the recently discovered continent of New Dawn, the three Alo species and their countries, the Territories of Terra Equus, the Princedoms of Pegasi and the Empire of Unicorns, decide to put aside their differences for a fresh start. For thousands of years, Alokind has warred with each other, and with the hope of a better future, task the colony on the continent New Dawn to prove the many years of hatred and bloodshed wrong.

But the new continent isn't so merciful...
