Some fun facts about the direction ED was heading before I decided to kill the project. Hopefully some will find them interesting or even inspiring.

- Twilight was to finally succeed at alicorn transformation, but it would turn her into a monstrosity (albeit a powerful one) unable to function properly without her life-sustaining throne.

- House Moon and Star would enter a bloody civil war between the two guilds, while Trixie and her inquisition would keep gaining more power and influence over the Archmagister.

- Starswirl the Bearded's ghost would reveal himself to Princess Cadence to be a mesenger and a part of a collective astral being called The Magus.

- the truth behind the Princesses' disappearance was to be partially revealed.

- House Earthborn, encouraged by the recent schism in M&S would try to launch the final, devastating offensive against Canterlot, only to have its armies called back to the Frontier to repell the biggest Changeling invasion Equestria has ever seen.

- After barely winning a bloody war against the Changelling horde, Applejack (with the help of the Spirit of Truth) would then go and create the Ministry of Truth - an oppressive institution tasked with the gargantuan mission of eradicating the very concept of lie from the lives of Earthborn ponies.

- Applejack was to become the first True Earthborn - an earth pony who can cheat death by fusing her/himself with the soil of Equestria.

- Miners of House Whitegold would end up finding a giant gem deep beneath Manehattan, emanating with a tremendous power. Dubbed "The Eye of Equestria", this gem was to be revealed to be something more than just a giant slab of shiny rock. Sometimes, it would would produce this strange humming sound that only Rarity could understand and interpret as a series of names repeated over and over: "The Laughing Mare. The Truthsayer. The Green Mother, The Twelve Champions, The Magus".

- Fluttershy was to launch an expedition to the newly discovered ruins of old Starswirl Laboratory. What she was going to discover there would make her unite the six Tribes of Everfree as well as discover the truth behind the Everfree Liege and a being known as the Green Mother.

- House Stormwing would end up being backstabbed by its griffon "allies" (everyone saw it coming) and in turn be almost completely destroyed, if it weren't for the fact that this betrayal would awaken the Twelve Champions of Pegasopolis.

- The Cult was to establish it's first proper settlement in the dead center of Equestria - Old Ponyville. Covered by a magical dome, this settlement would host a some sort of time-warp-portal to the old, still joyful Equestria, letting anyone willing to worship the Laughing Mare the last chance to experience a life without war and destruction.
