- some kind of pre-draconquus creature to complain about ancient history in the element of laughter I am Horkos, last of the Uncorrupted. You have freed me from my imprisonment here.

My kind was young before this world was formed of stardust. For a thousand centuries after, our kind alone existed to contemplate the arrow of time. And when other forms of life appeared, we protected them, as we had taken this world as our ward.

But then the Usurper came... my father, in his naive magnanimity, gave her free reign on our world, even when she perverted the chthonic law by creating your kind. This unbalanced Order and Chaos.

You are things that should not have been. The designs of a capricious divinity.

It was too late I realized that this unbalance had begun to corrupt my kind, turning them to unbridled chaos... even my own father. I hid myself out of the world for centuries. When I returned, even the Sun was changed.

Once my anger blazed such that I would have destroyed any of your kind whom I chanced upon. But now, only I am spared from the corruption that overtook my people...

--> Maybe that artifact is imprisoning him

Origin of the Elements of Harmony

In the mists of prehistory (circa 30,000 BE), Equus escaped the Oblation of Worlds because En-Mequnan, the Signifer of En-Netsusep (and his young daughter), was fond of the planet and, in particular, of the adorable little ponies she had surreptitiously created there in (cuter) imitation of the Shadhavar whose worship her father had (in his vanity) accepted. When she learned that Equus' star system was demanded as a sacrifice to the Fount of Primordial Chaos, En-Mequnan stole the Sign of En-Netsusep (the sign she carried in the cosmic procession, that whole Signifer bit above) and ran away, taking also Equus itself. She created the magical sun and moon around Equus to sustain the planet, which was now a rogue planet, and shattered the Sign of En-Netsusep, without which he could not approach the Fount of Primordial Chaos in the Oblation. (The Fount is so powerfully chaotic that its presence is incompatible with any form of life; it isn't really alive or sentient itself, at least observably. Thus, the Sign was strongly Harmonious, in order to hold back the chaos to an extent sufficient that En-Netsusep could pitch stellar objects into it, sort of like an approach suit for firefighters. Note that this religion was made up by the Dread Pantheon; the Found never gave any explicit indication that this should be done, it just seems necessary to them.)

En-Netsusep would come to believe that his daughter had been corrupted by continuous exposure to the Sign.

The six shattered fragments of the Sign would later be known to Ponies as the Elements of Harmony.

En-Netsusep, believing himself rejected as High Priest of the Fount of Primordial Chaos, went into voluntary exile in the Dread Dimensions with his extended family.

After thousands of years, En-Mequnan eventually lost interest in Equus and left to explore other dimensions, occasionally returning to check on it. She has been gone since the defeat of King Sombra, convinced that her favorite alicorn ponies had things well in hoof and did not need her help anymore.

The EoH are sentient, individually, although their intelligence and psychology is almost incomprehensible to ponies (and humans). When, after long aeons, ponies first made contact with the Dread Dimensions. Even after figuring out that they were En-Mequnan's creations, the pantheon proceeded with extreme caution and patience borne of immortality. En-Netsusep, desirous of rapprochement with his daughter, and perhaps the return of the Sign, remained indecisive. Then, in the early Golden Age, a group of ponies showed up in the company of a Changeling. The Changelings, antithetical to En-Netsusep and the Pantheon, were an alarming development, and this called for prompt (relatively prompt) action, the Catastrophe. En-Netsusep was very unhappy to discover that his estranged daughter was nowhere to be found, the world was overrun with Changelings (far more offensive to him than ponies ever had been), and that his Sign was shattered - and being used as a weapon against him.

En-Netsusep was confronted by the Elements of Harmony, and he called them to himself, Twisting the elements and stripping their bearers of them (and mortally psychic-wounding them, and making them untouchable to Changelings.) However, like fragments of a magnet, the Twisted fragments of the Sign almost immediately blew apart, killing En-Netsusep, whereupon his corpse fell into the sea not very far from the hole into which he entered Equus from the DD. Twilight was able to contact her apprentice Star Cluster before succumbing. The Elements were scattered over Equus, mostly near the Dusts.

Aftermath of the Catastrophe

With the death of En-Netsusep, and decimation of the changelings, the Dread Pantheon (lead provisionally by En-Hefeshet, Mace-bearer of En-Netsusep, and God of Blunt Objects and Justice) decided against further direct action, believing that Equus and the residual changelings would die a natural death. The EoH could be recovered later. They did encase Equus in an invisible bubble to ensure no Changelings could escape into the wider universe except possibly via the Dread Dimensions where they could be observe.

Consequences of the Bubble

- Certain forms of teleportation no longer work. It is also not possible to access other planes of existence, except through the hole En-Netsusep made to access Equus.
