My Little Pony: Friendship Was Magic
In Equestria, the monsters are kept in safe places, and can be beaten off with hugs and clothing and angry stares.
In Equestria, a benevolent goddess raises the sun and the moon, and keeps the world in harmony.
In Equestria, the concept of danger is barely understood.
This is not that Equestria.
The heroic Moon Goddess, and her student, overthrew the Burning Hate of the Iron Hoof, saving Equestria from the searing, unending summer that raged for years. Even now, she tries to hold against the monsters, the literal armies of feral species that attack.
This is not the Equestria you know. Friendship has power, love may yet triumph. But evil is not just a word. Go out into the woods today, and be sure to take an axe, or make sure you have that fireball spell on a hair-trigger. If you want to keep your life... you'd better work for it.

On Canterlot, a brief description
Spoiler
Show
The Capital City. The bustling heart of Equestria and the New Lunar Republic. An ancient city that has stood as long as the land knew the Princesses. A metropolis where ponies could live their wildest dreams. A city that hides a darker side few has seen, but many have whispered.
Canterlot.
When one first approach Canterlot, the very first thing one would notice would be the magnificent gate that guarded the massive entrance. Flanked on both end by massive towers of flawless pearl white stone, the delicately wrought wooden and steel doors guard the entrance to the capital. The smooth, stone road that runs underneath the massive arch was capable of handling up to ten wagons abreast. Raised by the Princesses themselves, the gate is known as the Royal Gate. There are two other gates that allow entrance into the city: the Moon and Sun Gate respectively. Smaller than the Royal Gate, but equally well defended, they allow access into different districts of the city.
Canterlot itself can be broadly divided into several distinct sections, each with their own distinct characteristics and features:
Royal Castle/Royal District - Home to the royal castle, occupying the highest point of Canterlot. Also now serves as the administrative centre for Canterlot and Equestria. The Royal Guards maintains a small garrison here.
Harmony District - Wealthy elite district. Famous for most of the graceful spires that marked the skyline of Canterlot. The Royal Gate leads here.
Platinum Square - One of Canterlot's premier commercial area. Named after Princess Platinum of yore. Of notable landmarks, Rarity has a boutique here.
Cliffside Street - One of the several working class districts. This particular one was named after its location at the very edge of the city, overlooking the valley below.
Starshield Street - Named after a former Captain of the Royal Guard. One of the several working class districts. Notable for the presence of the barracks for the city garrison. The Sun Gate leads into here.
Lunar Avenue - Entertainment hub. Has a lively nightlife, and is host to many bars, pubs and nightclubs serving the ponies of the city. Some unsavoury elements might also lurk here. The Moon Gate leads here.
Canterlot Campus - Home to most educational institutions of Canterlot, including the School for Gifted Unicorns and Canterlot University.
Skytrack - Home to the famous Canterlot Skytrack, where pegasi races are held.
