Hello, and welcome to Battle Equestria! We're glad to have you here, and we hope you have fun exploring this dark vision of Equestria we have created. I know that the forum can be large and intimidating at first, but don't fret! There are plenty of wonderful people here to help. If you aren't sure where to start, or you are unsure of how things work around here, here are some things you can do:
Catch up on what has happened to the magical land of Equestria:
A lot has happened in Equestria, and it is not the smiling, happy land that many once knew. An ancient evil has taken over, the Princesses are missing, and there is danger around every corner.
Read the forum rules:
While we try to keep things friendly and open, there are some rules that you must know before participating in the BfE story. Please be sure to read ALL of the rules that we have here. I would hate for your experience, or other's, to be ruined because somepony didn't know what was expected of them.
Additionally, the world of BE is a dangerous place, and your character may have to fight. If your character does not want to fight, or doesn't know how, don't let that discourage you. There are alternatives to fighting. However, if you do decide to take part in the war for Equestria personally, be sure to read the rules and suggestions regarding combat here. The list of combat tiers, where you can find your characters relative power level, is over here. If you have any questions or concerns about the rules or how they are implemented, contact me, or another mod or admin. We are all happy to help.
Create a character:
BE is an OC driven story, and we strive to create a fun and balanced environment for all. Whether you have been roleplaying for years, or this is your first time, whether you have a dozen, fully developed OC's or none at all, we are here to help.
Decide where to start:
BE is a wide world, covering all of Equestria and beyond, and the sheer size of the forum can be daunting. Before you start, you must decide where your character's loyalties lie, and which side you will be fighting for. Will you remain loyal to the missing Princesses and fight to restore the old world? Will you join Lord Tenebris' forces? Is it just to keep yourself and your family safe, or do you agree with his ideals? Or will you be a refugee, wandering the wasteland Equestria has become, just trying to survive?
There is a place for all here, and no matter who you fight for, or why, you are welcome. If you are having trouble deciding, or you are not sure where in the forum to go, you can contact me through the link above, or reply to this thread, and I will help you the best I can.
A wide world awaits, and the future is uncertain. Come and join us in this Battle For Equestria!
