I think he may have been a consequence of said conflict.
 
He may have had something to do with it, though.

@Inspector
 
Like Discord? We saw him play with the sun and moon and alter weather with a snap of his fingers. It’s not impossible that a long time of that could mess things up beyond repair.

*there was

I betcha that long ago, their was a conflict so terrible that it caused the whole frickin’ planet to stop working correctly. The ponies have to alter the climate and weather on their own because the world literally CAN’T change without them anymore, except for a few spots like the Everfree Forest.

I’ll buy it. Frankly, Equestria’s still pretty fucked up. Iwouldn’t wanna live there. Also, when did Feral start posting again? Haven’t seen him in bloody ages.

Headcanon acquired: Pre-Equestria whatever-this-world-is was was a war-torn wasteland far, far worse than anything that was depicted in FO:E. And that’s saying something.
 
Celestia and Luna worked very, very hard to get things to the way they are now.

@Inspector
 
I see it not as one big conflict, but lots of problems just flaring up constantly.
 
We’ve seen how insane Twilight can get. If rogue wizards with even a fraction of her power popped up on a regular basis, it’s a sure bet there’s gonna be fallout.

I always thought that a lot of the weird crap scattered all around Equestria are the remains of some incredibly ancient conflict, including many of the more chaotic creatures such as dragons.
 
Magic can do weird shit, especially when most ponies seem to be almost completely in the dark about the world around them.

Socks?  

Well Parasprites fit into the Everfree Ecosystem rather well: in an environment where anything can eat hundreds of you just by breathing, furiously quick breeding is the only way to stay viable.
 
And Posion Joke is completely something I could see Discord coming up with.

@Feral  
And for our noses and fingers while we’re at it. Ah hell, why not just put socks on every extremity! That’d be funny!

@BronyHeresy
 
Cocks in socks?
 
I’m game.

Well parasprites, obviously. And Poison Joke.

@BronyHeresy
 
Well, we started out discussing a Skyrim quote and how it applied to Spike, then Skyrim in general, then Fallout New Vegas, then a Fallout Flame War nearly erupted, but the conversation was shifted to how much sentient life in Equestria was created as Bioweaponry.

Cool, can we get socks for them?
 
Also, good news, I’ve kicked my addiction! Anypony from that hread will know what I’m talking about!

@BronyHeresy
 
Cocks.

Hey guys, what are we talkin’ about?

Now I can’t get the image of Sombre as pony Albert Wesker out of my head.
 
“Complete…. Global…. CRYSTALIZATION!
 
…that would have been cool.

I’d continue the Fallout 3 debate, but too sleepy to do so.  
So… FUCK THIS.  
Drops dead

I’d say the Dogs were rogue, and that their nation is far from Equestria or generally peaceful.

@Impious
 
What do you think about the Diamond Dogs as a possible prototype dragon? They seek gems and have biology optimized for guerilla warfare, but were discarded by Sombre for insufficient intelligence.
 
Or maybe the group we saw were simply a rogue band of slavers and raiders. Becuase if they’re all like that then this show uses Always Chaotic Evil/Stupid far too often for a show about friendship.

They didn’t have a purpose, it was mostly instinct. It’d be kind of sad if they weren’t so despicable.

@ThatGuyImpious  
But WHY do they want to make more of them? What is their purpose?

@Trick
 
I think the dragons are naturally occurring, but Sombra weaponized a few broods. The biology of those dragons and their descendants is different. So, half right.

They were farting about the ruins to find more FEV to make more of themselves, since the Brotherhood was waging war on them and their numbers were on waning.
