Our second monthly environment feature is the former capital city of Equestria, Canterlot. Now, Canterlot is the seat of the Solar Empire, as well as a holy ground for its supporters. In the high towers that hang over the city, places that once housed meetings of commerce and treaties now hold talks of war and strategy. The streets are filled with an anxious and worried air, as nearly every young stallion that is able signs up to join the guard.
 
Canterlot will act as the capital city for the Solar Empire, either as a headquarters for players fighting for the Solar Empire, or as an ultimate goal to conquer for New Lunar Republic players. Canterlot is divided up into several districts based on the social class of its inhabitants, with the lower class skirting the outside of the mountain, near the shipyard and train station, and leading over to the castle on the opposite end, where it can be most easily defended from attack.
