Description
So to make it easy, these are the Knights of Harmony and they identify the element they associate with in various panels:
From left to right:
Ceridwen, the element of Equity
No idea on the name of the squid/shark hybrid, but they are the element of Acceptance
Danu (a leucrocuta), the element of Loyalty
Balor (a dragon, though may be specific type), the element of Magic
Taranis (a ophiotaurus), the element of Pride
Morrigan (a bird spirit thing), the element of Faith

Like I noted, perhaps they are referencing a government they believe should be around but isn’t, or they pretend that it still is.
Cunabula may have once been a place, but the Knights seem to be acting on their own. They might be doing this in the name of Cenabula, but it doesn’t seem to exist as a nation anymore.
Thing is, they call him liege lord, he calls himself the king of Cunabula, while those perhaps-siblings of his call themselves princes and princesses of Cunabula. Those are all terms related to government. Even if they don’t have one, and I don’t know that they don’t, they’re certainly talking like they have a functioning government that they head… or think they should have one, perhaps tying into why they hate Equestria so much? Also, as noted before, their Tree is that of patriotism…
Maybe. Again, they don’t seem to function as a government.
So you’re saying, Cunabula isn’t an actual place and them being the king and prince(sses) is meaningless?
Except they don’t have a government. They function like a Knightly order. Which is appropriate given their name. They’re more like a brotherhood of sorts. They aren’t a nation. They’re more like the Red Lotus from Legend of Korra. They follow Danu because they trust him and believe in the same principles as he does. Its belief that drives them, not any governmental position he’s been appointed to. He doesn’t even have a government position.
And make it once. Permanently.
Well, there is another option. Like I said, Danu is their liege lord. He’s the king of Cunabula. Which usually means being born into the position. By this theory they are loyal to him because he is the head of their government by right of birth, and as their own Tree is supposedly that of patriotism, they act according to how their nation is structured. Merit has little to do with it, though to be fair, he doesn’t strike me as a complete imbecile.
Addendum: Also, Ceridwen strongly implies these are all siblings. So he might be eldest, giving him additional authority.

They don’t know that though. And two Alicorns are still a threat.
They’re backing each other up, letting Danu lead them, and following up each other attacks with moves of their own. They don’t need to combine their powers rather just support one other in battle. Also, keeping the enemy off one another’s backs is something they do well.
And again, if they split up to take each kingdom on alone, they’d lose. Balor’s powers seem to work only by touch, so she needs the others, particularly Danu and Taranis the resident powerhouses, to soften the enemy up first before she can single out opponents which to drain magic from. And Morrigan doesn’t seem to have any offensive capabilities herself, she specializes in mind control. So she needs the others to go in first and shield her before working her magic. Again, teamwork.
>Alicorns
You mean only Cadence and Twilight, right? because the sisters aren’t in that fight.
About the “together were stronger” thing, i didn’t feel that in the issue because i don’t see many combinations of the powers, only Morrigan and Balor done something together, the rest are fighting alone.
“We have to work together.” - ‘Grogar’.
Considering Canterlot is the center of the biggest amount of resistance, what with the Alicorns, the Mane Six and the Pillars plus as far as they know is the location of the Elements of Harmony as well, strategically it makes sense to strike there first. Then they can deal with Equestria’s allies once they are firmly entrenched.
Also, another thing about the Knights of Harmony is they work best when all together. Individually they are powerful but as we see at the battle each of them works to support the other in a fight. If they tried to take on each kingdom alone they’d lose. Instead of dividing their forces and making them weaker they concentrate on the strongest enemy gathering and eliminate it. Plus, before they learned from Twilight that the Elements no longer exist, their plan was to attack Canterlot and grab the Elements. Once Equestria is in their control and the Princesses no longer a threat, then they can begin to invade the other kingdoms at their leisure.
The Knights know they are strongest together, working as a team. Yes it gives the other nations time to mobilize but if they quickly overwhelm Canterlot together then they can focus on the rest without dividing their forces.
Also, we don’t know the extent of their abilities as this is their first encounter with the Knights.
I know a leader not necessarily the leader should be powerful, but he isn’t really smart because they could scatter the different kingdoms with their powers instead of focusing in one point. An example is that Ceridwen could turn birds into monsters to be the inprovised army with which Morrigan could control since it is not yet known what the limits of her abilities are, can Cerdiwen only manipulate one thing at a time? Does Morrigan need to be around his victims? they are things that are not shown much to know if that strategy cannot be applied.
And already having their improvised army, they could go to the other kingdoms, with Balor in Canterlot, Danu in the reign of the diamond dogs, the Ceridwen in the reign of the zebras, Taranis and the octolphin in the kingdom of the cats instead of all together in Canterlot to give the others time to attack.
Not really. The Knights are very different villains from Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow. They truly believe they themselves are the heroes. They aren’t interested in revenge or power, but are blind to their own hypocrisy and faults.
The leadership of this group isn’t based on who’s the most powerful though. They all have diverse arrays of abilities. Danu is the leader based on the fact the others trust him and he has good leadership abilities. Remember, the Knights of Harmony don’t believe they’re evil or even want power for their sake. They think they’re the heroes, and they act like it.
Well, If i was the only one who made it to Ceridwen, why not for the rest?
I’m interested in seeing all of them get porn. My curiosity knows no bounds.
I am the type of person that hates cliffhangers it makes me want to what happens in comic 102 or else it will be the end of me.
And no one’s forcing you to read it.
