Sorry about your country lol

A mad horse appeared in Judecca 1000 years ago.

At the time, Judecca was in absolute turmoil. The fatal virus; Black Famine had claimed the lives of both the Unicorn and Pegasus High Priests. The two Unicorn Princes had yet to return from their quest to find a cure, leaving only the Earth Pony High Priest to fight the ensuing chaos.

The Chaos Storms that had plagued Judecca ever since the Chroma Borealis nearly 2000 years ago had awoken once more. Torrents of boiling, poisonous rain poured from the sky for days at a time, crops evaporated into bright, pink sugar, and unnatural gravitational forces threatened to rip the land apart.Yet despite the suffering that had gripped Judecca, it's people remained strong. They sheltered one another and weathered the Chaos Storms for centuries. They managed to scrape by with what little they could gather and grow during the brief calms of the Storm. Judecca would survive.

There is no documented information on where Black Famine first originated, but its connection to the Chaos Storms is indisputable. The cold grip of the incurable virus swept across the nation. To become infected was a death sentence. The only question was how long it would take for the virus' symptoms to become fatal. Black Famine was fickle and unpredictable, those afflicted could survive anywhere between 3 weeks to 3 decades.But perhaps most peculiar was the virus' inclination towards infecting Unicorns and Pegasi, rather than Earth Ponies.While Unicorns were blessed with magic and Pegasi with flight, Jud saw fit to bless the Earth Ponies with natural endurance and resistance to illness.

By the time that the madman arrived, the population of Judecca had been wildly skewed in favor of the Earth Pony. Their immunity to Black Famine had made them the dominant majority and a discord had begun to spring up between the Earth Pony and the dwindling minority of Unicorns and Pegasi.

The different races had begun to blame each other for the suffering that had befell their beloved country.

Some of them had begun to hate one another.

The mad horse was condemned as a heretic within a week of his arrival in the heart of Judecca. His ideals were "despicable, poisonous, and wildly discriminatory".The crippled, veiled stallion proposed that it was indeed the fault of Unicorns and Pegasi that the Chaos Storms had appeared in the first place.That their god; Jud had been sending them a clear message all along. A message that the current High Priest had been blinded to. Black Famine was not a trial to test their faith and trust in one another, but a condemnation of the inferior races.

The mad horse was imprisoned after he began provoking violent rebellion among the Judeccan population. He proposed that the Unicorns and Pegasi be cast out and left to fend for themselves.

The mad horse was exiled along with his growing following of zealous Earth Ponies.He proposed that the Unicorns and Pegasi be thrown into a great pit and be left to suffer the ailments of Black Famine.

The mad horse led an invasion of the High Priests' holy ziggurat; Rahk Shahala. Despite the efforts of powerful Unicorns and Pegasi, his mob of furious Earth Ponies succeeded through sheer numbers.

The mad horse decreed from the ramparts of the temple that Judecca would never be the same again.That every stallion, mare, filly, and colt had something to fear should they be born with wings or a horn.

The Earth Ponies of Judecca were blinded by fear, hatred, and distrust. In time they would all learn to obey.And when the Chaos Storms refused to disperse the Judicator turned their eyes to a new target.A land far across the desert in the North. A land that they had been tasked to purify.

The Judicator turned their eyes towards Equestria.

"All I need is time. You've given me plenty of that."
