@Algy, Greg, Dac, and anyone else thinking about my post.
The idea of Celestia and Luna originally being symbols representing unity between the tribes intrigues me – it's something I hadn't considered before. I'm not sure if I can get behind the fact that Discord brought them to life himself though, it seems an exceptionally foolish thing to do. That being said, his ego might have been big enough to make him want to gloat. So it seems to me like he might have created them for that purpose, but they got away from him and defeated him.
Or they're gods. In which case, the symbology theory still applies.

The more I think about it, the more I like this symbology idea. Maybe it's because I've been studying for my Near East Archaeology final so much lately.
