Why does everyone think Earth Ponies are lower class? I mean, Appleloosa is primarily filled with Earth ponies, and they built the town within, what, a year? Plus they had a burgeoning apple orchard in the desert. I'm pretty sure they're on par with Unicorns and Pegasi.Wayoshi wrote:Plausible setup: the three tribes have interdependence, but the earth ponies are left hanging as they do not have the leverage of controlling the weather or sun/moon cycles, and thus are the lower class that actually controls the entire species' food supplies.
Not simple, but not complicated, really just right. My Celestia-tier sense is tingling more than ever now
Though I am curious about the unicorns controlling the sun/moon cycles; I wonder what happened that Celestia and Luna took over that role?
