    I wouldn't hold my breath. We might be more likely to see the fate of the Crystal Empire explored in the comics than in animation (unless a new 22-minute show pops up). But the comics are not necessarily in continuity with the animation.

    I'm fairly new to these boards too, but I think you're meant to start out in the Welcome Plaza with an introduction post.

    In terms of centaur-like body structure, I was thinking along the lines of Edgar Rice Burrroughs' Green Men of Mars, with a secondary pair of arms that could also be used as forelegs. The digits on the second pair of arms could end in thick hoof-like structures or the "hands" could be padded (like the frogs of a horse's hoof). Actually, the Dawn Horse shows how this might be able to work! Btw, I basically like the name Equae, but would Equaes (both singular and plural) roll off the tongue a bit better?

    Phantom H. Fetlock "We fight only for what we believe in!" Phantom Harcourt Fetlock was raised in a proud tradition of chivalry and service to the Crown, and to value freedom. The Fetlocks have long protected the coasts of Equestria as sailors and privateers. However, Phantom H. Fetlock sees an opportunity to make use of the captured airships of the Storm King to form a Royal Aerial Navy. Note: Fetlock's sabre is a family heirloom; its hilt is decorated with his family's crest. Fetlock's goal is to command his own vessel on a mission of exploration and diplomacy beyond the borders of Equestria. About 400 years ago, the pirate Captain Emeraldas Fetlock terrorized the high seas in her ship the Equus, until she was defeated by Princess Celestia (some say in a battle of wits). Seeing the error of her ways, Captain Fetlock named herself a "pirate knight" and pledged her service to the Princess and to the good of Equestria. In turn, the Princess issued a Letter of Marque allowing Fetlock and her descendants to act as privateers under the Crown's authority for as long as they performed their duties with honor and for the common good. EDIT (08/15/24): Here's an alternate image of Fetlock made on Pony Maker:

    No rush at all; I know that I gave you a lot! And, as you can tell, I used Pony Creator for my own pic. I don't draw well at all.

    That seems possible, at least! But don't set your hopes too high. Here's notes on the Crystal Empire from the Core Rulebook: And from Story of the Seasons:

    Interesting. Don't feel bad about not being able to draw. I don't draw well either! When I adapted my pony OC as a 1st-level ttrpg character I had to use an art program myself. Have you considered the use of ley lines and ley-line nexuses as a source for more powerful magic in your world? The concept has worked well for a number of fantasy authors. Maybe (roughly) centaur-like body would work better for the Equae; giving them hands with digits (maybe 3 or 4 on each hand?). Telekinesis would still be very useful, but some sort of hand would help a lot with technology. (and maybe with spell-casting as well). Alternately, they could have four limbs as you envision, but with hands that have tough pads on their palms that enable them to run on all fours when they need to. Don't mind me, I'm just brainstorming a little. Ignore any ideas that you don't like for your game!

    Would you like to attempt to re-imagine my own OC, Pirate-Knight Captain Fetlock? This is Fetlock as a 1st-level cadet: He's based on Space Pirate Captain Harlock: And Fetlock's airship, the Equus (if you want to draw it), is based on the Queen Emeraldas crossed with one of the Storm King's ships:

    You beat me to it (I was waiting for the Diamond solicitation)! It sounds like Zephyr Heights might be menaced by the remains of Cloudsdale and its weather factory. It's hard to tell if any G4 characters are going to show up unless it's in flashback.

    Would Hasbro's ownership of Wizards of the Coast allow Hasbro to adopt the name Noctral (from Gulheru's fanfic "Interview with a Batpony") for Bat Ponies? Noctral seems to have originally been coined for an owl-like race of avian outsiders that inhabit the plane of Mount Celestia (yes, Celestia!) in D&D's Forgotten Realms setting. Thestral is problematic as it would likely invite a cease-and-desist order from Warner Bros. and/or J.K. Rowling.

    Equestria's Changelings are not very similar to the D&D monster of the same name, but I can see how the show staff might have taken inspiration from them. There are also the Changelings of European folklore were fairy-children left in the place of a stolen human child.

    Even the first dragon we meet in the show, other than Spike, could speak (Season 1, Episode 7 "Dragonshy"). So we already knew it that episode that dragons were intelligent. And we learned that dragons can grow very quickly if greed takes a hold of them. Spike seems to be the oldest dragon that we've seen (so far) in G5.

    Las Pegasus, Baltimare, Cloudsdale, Fillydelphia; did all these cities survive the fall of Twiligt's Equestria? Or are the team names just taken from Equestria's history? And do Kenbucky, Dazzlebrook, Meadowbend and Sandy Shores represent real locations in post-Unity Equestria?* * Well, Kenbucky seems to be a real place, at least in IDW's canon.
  15. Otaku-sempai
    Well, we did get Ogres & Oubliettes, so It would not be surprising!
  16. Otaku-sempai
    Honestly, and please don't take offense, but the design doesn't work for me. It's a bit too human, veering deeply into the uncanny valley. I do wonder what the culture of the Equae is like and what are their abilities? Are they bipedal or quadrupedal? Do they have hands with fingers? Hooves or more human-like feet?
  17. Otaku-sempai
    The description says nothing about an Origin for a new playable creature type. However, with an emphasis on Canterlot this would be a good place to introduce the ponies that make up Princess Luna's personal guard: The Bat Ponies! Who agrees?

    Hazel Shimmer sounds just fine!

    My wife found a used copy of Alan Moore's novel Jerusalem. But it's been slow going.

    What's your cutie mark and what does it represent? That might help.

    Like I said, "everything is canon" might be overly generous. I expect that some things will become canon (like Violette) and others will not. Personally, I don't think that the ruins of Canterlot should be so close to the New Equestria of the show. The entire Discord arc from the comic can probably be discarded.
