Current GMs:
Pinkie Pie - rule, NPC moderation
GalvinRoe - rule, consulting moderation
Wandering Magus (myself) - Game Master, GM moderation

Factions (yes, I am basing them off LOTR):
Unicornia - A proud kingdom of unicorns ruled by one of the wisest and most powerful sorceresses in the world, Princess Platinum.
Pegasopolis - A mighty land of warrior pegasi led by the iron hooves of Commander Hurricane
Gaia Republic - A coalition of earth pony farming fiefs and villages overseen by the elected Chancellor Puddinghead, who is growing senile with age.
Griffon Kingdom - A tribe of powerful griffons who feed off the conquered and the weakened.
Zebra Kingdom - Warring tribes of alchemist Zebras corrupted by disharmony and the influence of Discord.
Diamond Kingdom - An ancient and wealthy kingdom of Diamond Dogs, grown complacent on the wealth of the tunnels under the mountains filled with shining gold and gems.  But they delved too greedily, and too deep...
Flutter Valley - The ancient and mystical paradise home of the Breezies, who no longer care for the things of this world, having grown tired of temporal things.  Though they are unmatched in their powers of magic, however, the journey home will be long and beset with dangers.
Land For Ever Free - The neutral territory created by the Breezies, guarded by strange magics from any cosmic influence, entirely self-sustaining and self-renewing.  It is the home to those who wish to end the war rather than participate in it.
The Heavens - The battlefield of the immortals, the Creators and Destroyers, the Draconequui and the Alicorns.  The skies flash with great bursts of magic every moment, the stars dying and being quickly reborn, the Sun and Moon sometimes here, sometimes there, never settling.
The Capital of Chaos - The area under the dominion of Discord, and formerly Tirak the Centaur.  None who enter ever return.  It is guarded by more than just the allies and servants of Discord, and one does not simply walk into the Capital.

Let's start over all the way from the beginning.

You're all from different lands.  The Races have been separated into various nations since the First Age.  Breezies, long the guardians of The World, have grown indifferent about the things of this world and are leaving for their home in the world beyond the world, a utopia called Flutter Valley.

As they leave and their protective powers go with them, Discord begins to stir up chaos and disharmony throughout the world, leading to the current situation.

War flashes in the skies above as Immortals battle one another.  Zebraci tribes fight one another over water.  All three pony races make war on one another.  Griffons prey on those who are defeated.

Only the Land For Ever Free, the last gift of the Breezies to this world, remains a bastion of peace and harmony in the roiling turmoil of war.  Earth, under the direction of King Arthur and Merlin, have already shattered the Rainbow Bridge, severing the only path between the world of ponies and the world of humans.

Celestia and Luna, along with others loyal to the cause of peace, have rallied to the Land For Ever Free, seeking a way to end the war.  Their efforts, however, have only resulted so far in shattering the Rainbow of Light, which is now irreplacable.  To remedy this situation, Celestia, Luna, Starswirl and Abigail Jacqueline have summoned the few ponies of the world still willing to seek out peace to come to the Fortress of Peace.

YOUR jobs are to first get to the Fortress of Peace, and then after getting your assignment to seek out the Shards of the Rainbow of Light.  And remember, the Elements will only appear when they are exemplified.  Only a Loyal pony will find the Element of Loyalty, for instance.

I do very much like this idea. 
There was a roleplay that was going to be like this..sorta, as in taking place back before Equestria, but I don't know what happened to that? o:

[Flamestriker]

I made it, but it didn't get many views and ultimately died...

[The Wandering Magus]

well, I'll just pm a few ponies and see if I can spark some interest.

[Ryo_D_Disk]

it sounds intresting although i do have a rather bizzar question would you prefer ponys to use ansetrial verstions of there oc during it or just there reguler oc's and if your wondering why id ask such a thing i have no idea sounded intresting though Ha

[Crystal Chaos]

I'd do it. It sounds epic.

hmm... either way would be fine, although probably the tech level has to go down a bit, unless you think tech as DECREASED since those ages.

[Ryo_D_Disk]

i have no idea why this is in my mind but id think the tech would be higher in the past scince the earth ponys did far more labor work and then after the windgos that helped bring the increeced use of magic into the sociaty hence why everfree grows naturaly aposed to magicly but thats just a long winded rant more than anything but it would still be fun regardless of the tech level

well, the For Ever Free Kingdom would one day become the Ever Free Forest, aka the Everfree Forest.

Diamond Kingdom is the Diamond Dogs before they fell to barbarism.

I'll post a more "complete" summary if more show interest.

[Haned tom.]

I'm interested in this roleplay.

[The Wandering Magus]

six ponies, I'll try it then.
