The Original Stable had been up near the Northeastern Boarder of Equestria, the thought that having it so far out of the way would keep it hidden and more importantly safe. Instead that isolation proved to make it all the easier for the monster to invade once it had found it.
The Plan for building a new Stable however requires a lot of resources. This time given the choice we have decided to trek all the way to the middle of the Equestrian Wastes, into a region utterly filled with two important resources. Wood, and salvage. Trade off is that the location is for the most part almost completely flat.
To the east is a mountain range that we suspect is home to Griffons, which is has some of us nervous given how many had ended up captives to them turn the time the old Stable was destroyed. Admittedly some of those captives ended up living for quite awhile, some even becoming commanders among the local Talons. Slightly to the west seems to be what we think is are evil wastes. Wastelander settlements are in the area so we may be able to strike up trade with them eventually. And we know for a fact there is a desert to the north.
Still signs show that we may be to find other resources as well, and the centralized location may allow other survivors of the Severe Gleams to find us.
Admittedly there is a Slaver presence in the area, however with luck we may be able to stay under their radar. At least long enough for us to scavenge the tools and weaponry needed to kill any that arrive.

These seven misfits are the ones who have come together to build a Stable where all those who fled the destruction of Paddedgrooves. Let all those who carry the blood of the Severe Gleams in their veins find their way to this their new home.
We are the Amethyst Prophecies and our new home, our new Stable shall be Pinemaze. And boy are we going to need all the help we can get. None of us have any idea on what supplies to stuff in the wagon or who should do what.
Currently I have 2150 points to spend after emptying the wagon of everything. Apparently the default starting build tends to eat up all the points in supplies and not leave any to assign skills to the ponies. Given the currently 'DEAD' or 'DYING' state the only Stable civilization has, I'm not sure if the first trade caravan will actually be Stable Ponies.
So I am open to suggestions on how to load up the wagon and assign the skills given the current load out of misfits I got stuck with. And after spending so much time transcribing their profiles to this post I'm not going to close down the program and attempt to try to get a better batch at the same embark.
