The unicorns canonically have access to mind-altering magic, they could've just mind whammied the pegasi and earth ponies into doing their bidding.
Wasn't the mind controlling spell something StarLight came up with?Also, even if it wasn't, they have it now, maybe those spells didn't exist at the time
>>41419718Most unicorns can't do much magic.Also the whole thing is just a myth, very little realistic accuracy.
>>41419744There are many forms of mind control. Twi, Cadance, and Chryssy have their own spell(s), there are potions with mind control effects, and books that corrupt the mind. Starlight's was a combination of three pre-existing spells written in books easily accessible in a [Twilight's] public library. Equestria is filled with it.
>>41420565>The literal founding of Equestria>myth
>>41420727Yeah? Have you never heard of the concept of founding myths?
>>41420727but you see it was a play that means its fake news nothing is real
>>41419718Unicorns are not heartless monsters, they wouldn't go to such length even while being in direct conflict with the other two tribes. A conventional war is one thing, mass enslavement is another
>>41420739Oh yeah? You got proof that this is a founding myth?
>>41420806>about the creation of Equestria>not accurate to realityWhat else would it be, a random hallucination revealed to Pinkie in a dream?
>>41420810>magical world of pastel ponies>draws the line at windigos
>>41420817yes, because the magic of friendship loses its impact when the alternative is death by exposure.
>>41420817The windigos might be the only accurate thing about it.It says only pegasi can control the weather, but we already know unicorns can use their magic to control the weather. It says only Earth ponies can grow crops, but we've already seen pegasi and unicorns farming as well.
>>41420822That's like saying finding out your passion loses its impact when your ass gains a tattoo telling you you're on the right track.
>>41420822The "impact" was lost immediately when Twilight, a recluse dork, gained 5 free friends under a day and declared the element of fucking friendship magic.
>>41419718I want centurion dash to crucify me
>>41420855I want Flash Magnus to pierce my side with a lance
>>41419718because they probably wouldn't sit down and be ok with being mind controlled
>>41419718Notice that the capital is in Canterlot? Former Capital of Unicornia. This isn't a coincidence, unicorns have been at the top of society since unification. But they don't make it obvious because it's easier to control ponies who believe they are your equals. Not as many uprisings you have to deal with when they believe they have a voice and you "depend on them."
>>41420936>Celestia believes in Unicorn supremacySo that's why she only teaches Unicorns.
>>41420936>Former Capital of Unicornia.When was that said?
>>41420936Canterlot wasn't even around in that time. There were no ponies in modern Equestria before the Windegos
