Nightmareverse ideas

In this universe Nightmare Moon rules over Equestria from The Castle of the Two Sisters, in the Everfree Forest, meaning that the ponies are much closer to the grifix than in the main universe.

I won’t go into their relationships for now. Personally I really like this universe and I don’t mind Nightmare Moon to reign forever. So they won’t fight against her.

BUT as we all know, Eclipsa admired Nightmare Moon quite a lot, being inspired by her and trying to turn the grifix village into a kingdom of night, just like Nightmare Moon planned for Equestria. But her vision slowly faded away, until the moment when the ancestors asked her to step down, for a new queen will be born. Until here, all goes the same as in the original universe.

Selenara’s reign started, in the original universe, about when Luna returned and was reformed.

But in this universe, when Nightmare Moon took over Equestria, sending all the world to darkness, Eclipsa remembered her old desires and regained her vision of the village. She considered that she got a new chance to fulfill her dreams and decided to start it all over again.

So she never stepped down from the Queen position.

How about Selenara?

Well Eclipsa, after she decided to stay Queen, couldn’t raise her anymore. But Selenara was already extremely powerful and almost prepared to become a queen.

So Eclipsa set a trap for her, sending her to a cave for some “business” Where she was imprisoned, and her magic blocked in some way. She tried to keep this a secret, but who knows how some grifix may find out in the future about her and release her to take over the throne?

Leaving Selenara behind, Eclipsa really started it all over again, and the village looked completely different. She reconstructed the whole place, with a new type of architecture based on The Castle of the Two Sisters, and decides to help the grifix live better, giving them enough food and life supplies, unlike before.

Females are allowed to become Guards, but most of them don’t, for they don’t find it appropriate.

But Silver Wing is a guard, and in fact one of the best. It is pretty sure that when her father will retire she will be the next captain.

Outside the village

First is Twilight, and of course, Spike. We never got a shot at what they were doing in any of the timelines, so I would like to put my own ideas into it.

Twilight became Celestia’s student, just like in the mainverse. She became devotes to Celestia and all like in the mainverse. So when Nightmare Moon came, I don’t believe she would be fine with that. She would still be devoted to Celestia and perhaps try to find a way to get her back or at least defeat Nightmare Moon.

Now Spike: he most likely hatched later, without the rainboom and Twilight’s boost of magic. But I still want him to be always with Twilight, so perhaps it’s still her who hatched him, but after she got better at magic. Because he hatched later, he grew pretty much different (that because I want to make him look cooler).

Because Twilight was a rebel, and Nightmare Moon would notice pretty soon that she’s searching for a way to defeat her, Twilight decided to move from Equestria, to a place where Nightmare Moon couldn’t reach her. So Twilight and Spike, in this universe, live in Klugetown.

Klugetown is still under Storm King’s reign, for he never got defeated. But he could neither conquer Equestria, for he and Nightmare Moon had equal magic power. So the north of the world, from the Crystal Empire to the Macintosh Hills is under Nightmare Moon’s reign and the south, from the Arimaspi Territory to Mount Aris is under Storm King’s reign.

How about my young six? Well I didn’t think much about each of them, but I’ll write here a few little ideas.

Pumpkin Wing is a royal guard.

Timberwoods lives in Seaquestria, because the hippogriffs were never discovered in the depths of the ocean.

Blueberry Ashes is still in the Kirin Village, and most probably she can’t talk, like most of the kirin.

Jua lives in the Zebra Homelands.

About Pine Hugger I am not sure. He may be a guard or just a normal pony in Appleloosa.
