So, finally taking a few minutes, I wrote out the intro for the fanfiction Icebound Embers, a Fallout: Equestria fanfic set in the Frosted Lands, or the Crystal Empire. In keeping with the resource war in the backstory of Fo:E, the northern territories would have been heavily mined for all manner of resources, leading to construction and manufacturing booms. The story will revolve initially around an expeditionary group seeking their fortune in the fabled ruins of the old world. Other groups will slowly filter in, especially the Steel Rangers, given the technological wealth stored in the desolated cities.
