One mostly based on europe, seemed logical Equestria is basically America lmao.
Loredrop coming in 3…2…1..
Here we got two ocs as a standin for historic soldiers of the Kingdom (later Empire) of Allemareia.
We got Gummy as a standin for an NCO of a Unicorn Guard Regiment. They are considered the elite of the countries forces. The best equipment the world has to offer!
Supposedly.
Like her needle rifle, heavily inspired by the Dreyse of course. They do tend to wear the cuirass too but shes in marching getup there! ;P
And then we got @red-x-bacon character Skip Blade!
As a member of the regular army, as a proud pegasus shes likely part of a “Skyguard” regiment. They are trained specifically for fight in flight! If you look closely you can see she is using a conversion rifle. A muzzleloader turned breechloader.
This specific time period is 1880ish inspired, and is an accurate representation of soldiers during the “Second Dragon War”. Centuries of fighting dragons culminate here.
But the days of noble knights are long over by then, technology will prove to be a dangerous adversary to the dragons.
