1st of Granite, 150, The Age of Myth
Ruins of Poetloves
As the wind whistled through the long abandoned and crumbling ruins of the once bright city, a trio of ponies made their way to the edge of the former city. Tunur, a Unicorn and leader of the trio trotted in the front as Kal, a Pegasus Scholar, and Atrid, a Pegasus Administrator, followed behind. The Sun had gone down a few minutes before, bathing the world in twilight until the moon came to rule over the night.
A larger group of ponies awaited the trio at the ruined gates with a wagon and a few supplies.
One of the ponies in the large group stepped towards the trio, "Have you found a spot for us?"
Tunur replied, "Yes, but its far to the east, on the tip of the mountains Rithul. We had a particular peak in mind..."
While already silent, the area seemed to grow even more so as Rithul pressed, "Are you serious? We wanted safety, not death. If we go there we will meet a fate far worse than death. What drove you to choose there?"
"Think, theres only 20 of us plus a few stragglers who didn;t make this meeting but will join us later. So about 30, thats a small group yes, but we also have 3 ponies who know more than enough about Swordsponyship. If we make for there we can set up in this valley here," Tunur points at the map,
"And once we build a small shelter we can expand. Once the Changelings find us, we'll be safe behind our walls and whatever force they send after us will be decimated by the 'wildlife' there."
Rithul remained silent for a few moments before speaking, "If you think and believe that, I will follow you, but I sure hope you know what your doing."
"So its settled, is all our stuff here?" Lunur asked
"Yeah, as much loot and personal items we could find," a Unicorn Trader named Stelmith answered.
"Well, we're off now, the rest will catch up eventuelly, I left a spell here for them to see where we are going."
With that the group of ponies headed off into the darkening Twilight.

15th of Granite, 150, Age of Heroes
As the wagon slowed to a stop in the valley flanked by two branches protruding from the ominous mount looming over the valley like a shadow of malevolence. A small stream wound its way through the valley floor as trees grew beyond the reach of the evil that hung on the air like a choking fog.
"Well, here we are My Little Ponies. Lets get a shelter up as soon as we can." Tunur said as the ponies began to shift out of their daze towards the mountain. Living here under that constant shadow would be difficult, but they would do what they could to Live on and bring revenge against the damn Changelings.

I'll be updating the OP to include profiles of all the ponies and their appearances so you can choose which ones you'd like to be dorfed/ponied as.
Here's to a long and prosperous fort.
