The launching of the Four Wings ushered in a new era for ponykind. Those four ships, the Celestial, the Lunar, the Cadence and the Twilight, took to the skies and left the ground, and the past, far behind, sailing across the clouds into a new world...
Their story began not fifty years ago, when a weather balloon launched from Canterlot University, by purest accident, happened upon an astounding discovery. A malfunction in the ballloon caused it to burst... But it did not plummet to the ground as expected. Instead it still floated in the air, atop the clouds as if it were on water. More balloons were sent up to test these newfound waters and came up with the same result. They simply floated there atop waves of air... like a boat on water.
One experiment led to another. Progress led to new discoveries, new technologies. And eventually came the day that, for the first time, ships carrying ponies from Equestria to Neighpon, floated not on water, but on the clouds above. And it didn't stop there. Soon, permanent fixtures appeared in the sky. Docks, refuelling stations, even entire cities. This was a new age for ponykind. The age of the Sky.
But where does our story begin? Perhaps in the trade-hub of Alondra Park, seeking adventure and plunder. Maybe in the learning capital of Albion, in search of lost legends to uncover. Or maybe you seek to enjoy the technical marvels of Panu, the Neon City. The adventure begins with you.
