Time for another family, this time Luna's!

After the Changeling Reformation, both the Equestrian and Changeling Kingdoms were interested in creating a long-lasting alliance that would put Chrysalis' dark reign in the past. King Thorax and Princess Celestia became good friends during this time, trying to find a proper way to show their subjects that times had changed and they were looking towards a far more progressive future. But at the end of the day, it was Princess Luna who offered an old-fashioned solution to their unfinished goal at long-standing peace: an arranged marriage. Luna volunteered herself, knowing that Celestia would always have underlying hope that she would see her old flame again once the mysterious threat surrounding the hippogriffs was vanquished. King Thorax agreed to their terms and returned to his kingdom to offer Luna's marriage proposal to the only other "high-ranking" changeling, who he believed would get along rather well with the princess. General Pharynx was rather hesitant once Thorax brought him their plan for an alliance but he knew even as king, Thorax would never force him. So Pharynx said that he would give it a chance, and made his way to Canterlot to formally accept Luna's arrangement and begin courting her. Thorax was correct in his guess, Pharynx and Luna did seem to get along and enjoy each other's company. The two were very formal at first, both fully understanding that this was for their kingdoms and there would be a chance they would never find love with each other. They were both intent on doing their duty for their respective kingdoms, and in that they seemed perfectly matched.

The two married when they were both prepared and ready, and while it was not a particularly passionate event, the two seemed satisfied with the outcome. Even in marriage, Pharynx was sure to be a gentleman. He would not sleep in the same bed, nor the same room, if she did not want him there. It was clear that Luna still carried very traditional views on royal marriages and she seemed fully prepared to fill another role of a ruler: having heirs to pass their her throne to. But Pharynx assured her that until she was ready, no matter how she felt pressured by old ways of royalty, he wanted to wait until the two felt more than an obligation. This rang true for Luna and she appreciated his kind gestures. With no pressure for the two to fall in love, they managed to become close friends first. They had the chance to learn everything about the other, from Nightmare Moon and Luna's banishment to all the terrible things Pharynx did under Chrysalis' rule. The two shared the darkest parts of themselves and this is what seemed to truly bond them together, mutual understanding. And only when the two did feel more in their relationship did they start trying for an heir. It wasn't long before Luna was expecting and Erebus was born, ushering in a new age for Equestria and the Changeling Kingdom. A few years later, their second child was born and the family felt complete.

This family tree turned out so good! I hope y'all enjoy more info for this family~
