“Stygian is a shy and kind pony who brought together the Pillars of Equestria to protect the kingdom from evil. But when he tried to help them, the Pillars thought he was a traitor and banished him. Rejected, he happened upon a force of darkness promising him more power than he could ever imagine. Overcome with anger, Stygian became trapped in the darkness as the monstrous Pony of Shadows. His goal was to drown the world in despair. The Pillars sealed him and themselves into Limbo. But after Twilight Sparkle freed the Pillars and Stygian, she and Starlight Glimmer helped him to see he was not a villain after all.”
