Indeed, it may be boring listening to Chief Thunderhooves listing down his ancestors in order to prove that the Appleloosian plains belongs to him. But let him go beyond that, and he will arrive at his grandest of ancestors - Cairne Bloodhoof, the Worldsmith: The Elder Titan himself. In fact if you let him describe his ancestor, Thunderhoof will go through great lengths to explain how the world is inherited by him and how he is in charge of the forging the very foundation of Equestria.
 
And it is no childs tale.
 
Generations ago, the last of the Elements of Reality, Titan, found itself laying on the grounds on what would become New Appleloosa, life slowly seeping from him. By that time, Equestria was nothing but charred remains of an ancient battleground said to involve the fundamentals themselves. In his final breaths, the Fundamental delegated Thunderhooves’ ancestor - Cairne Bloodhoof the Elder - the task of shaping and repairing this once broken world. He bestowed to Bloodhoof his powers so that he may proceed to shape Equestria according to his image. With zeal, Bloodhoof accepted the proposition and began to smith, forge and form Equestria - a task that took his entire lifetime and then some to complete. With delicate care, he shaped entire continents, raised mountains, dug and filled immense oceans and sundered Earth to create canyons. After several eons, the Equestria that everypony knew had been formed, or as Bloodhoof would correct you: forged.
 
Bloodhoof the Elder Titan is no longer among us, nor has his job been completed. His legacy lives in his descendants - the most current being Chief Thunderhooves’. The Chief is true heir of the late fundamental, and his ancestral powers is used to continue smithing the foundation of Equestria. In his blood runs the spirit of Bloodhoof the Elder Titan, empowering him with the resolve of a fundamental to finish the task brought upon by his family.
