Wow, those notes.

But that is purely jest, of course. And do you think our favorite equines have not experienced the horrors of reality? Their land is inhabited by monsters, they have been invaded by shape-shifting entities that feed on emotion. War was unnecessary, for the land was usually united under a supreme leader, tyrannical or benevolent. Hatred is always present. Their stability is fragile. Their land is not the flawless Utopia we sometimes pretend it is. They have mentioned vehicles of war, and there are numerous spells with questionable purposes. And besides, if you were to invade with our weapons, they have almost literal gods on their side.
