Yak’s at disadvantage?
….
Its a pact….WITH DRAGONS.
While I agree the resolution is silly, it’s hardly less anticlimactic then some episode endings. An ancient text no longer intelligible is actually a pretty well known premise. Early mlp, pies stopped a war.
People underestimate the premise of the (treaty)fact before the war. The yaks actually had a treaty with dragons. They quite firmly established, while they aren’t on the war path normally, that haven’t had a dialogue with ponies, and they attack and eat as they please for thousands of years.
That’s some reputation. Does anyone wonder how they would disassociate warring dragons and spike?
With the exception of the ancient unicorns and celestia and luna after them taking care of night and day…
…the dragons are equivocally on the top of the food chain in sheer size and numbers. And yet the yaks had an oath with them. Any species would consider themselves blessed to have something like that. The dragons could of added any caveat, but all they asked in return was a sign that no other species would be indebted to them more, from a man to a mouse in terms of power. To long lived dragons, that probobly wasn’t much to ask in their eyes.
Because Spike pointed out that if Ember is sick of dragons being stereotyped, she isn’t doing a very good job at it. He had heard her mention she was sick of it before.
Spike appealed to her sense of pride/identity I guess? She cared more about changing dragons than keeping up the bond. It still was bad writing, don’t get me wrong.
Why did they stop attacking anyway? As you say, according to Ember, it didn’t matter whether it was deliberate or an accident.
Well so is this, but technically this has a stronger basis though Ember should have you know, asked why they did it. Though apparently, she considers them forgetting the sacred bond as much of an insult as breaking it intentionally, so…

And it was presented as pretty ridiculous in the first place. And at least he explained why. It was still silly, of course.
Just because one leader is bullheaded and trigger happy with declarations of war, doesn’t mean I can’t call out the other for their actions as well.
Well under the dragon conception of it, it was taken as an insult to their peace and a declaration of war I guess.
Also are we forgetting the episode of the show where Prince Rutherford declared war on ponies for patronizing him?
I have the urge to facehoof. Like, for a week.
The yaks still have the right to honor another with the title of honorary yak. I mean, it’s a cultural title the yaks can give out to whoever they so wish. Not to mention, this ‘bond’ was created centuries ago. Declaring war over an honorary YAK title and custom and invading their territory to destroy over this is not right by any means. Forcing the yaks to only ever give this title to no one but this one dragon is petty and controlling of the dragons, as if they get to say what the yaks can and can’t do.
Because it ended a war. Yaks technically did break their word.
So the dragons are imposing their will on a yak customary title and if said customary title, which the yaks have every damned right to bestow whoever they wish a place amongst them, the dragons will declare war and destroy them….. I fail to see how this is a ‘sacred’ bond when the yaks are at a disadvantage because of it.
The bond clearly stated there was to be only one honorary yak.
Well they technically didn’t at all, the dragons just got jealous.
It has horns, wings, and a clearly prominent snout even in the one panel of the scroll where it sort of resembles a volcano. Even if they thought it was a volcano, why would they break the sacred bond if they knew it existed?
It’s kinda cone-shaped?
With things spewing out of the top?
I blame the artist for just copy/paste some old page, at least she should draw another version with a “bad art”
What is Rutherford even talking about? How does that even resemble a volcano?
