Light Kingdom

The **Light Kingdom** is the center of all good magic in the pony world. The inhabitants of this kingdom are featured by the light that comes out of them. It was the first kingdom to be ruled by an alicorn. Originally, it was ruled by Princess Aurora until she had to put it under a stone sleep when they were about to be invaded by King Sombra and his army and now it's ruled by Princess Twilight and her husband, Prince Blue Sword.

## Characteristics

The main characteristic in this kingdom is the light that all of its inhabitants release: both animal and plants alike. Once a pony stays enough time to call the kingdom home, he or she gains a luminous coat. The city is like any other, but all the building also shines with light, due to the fact they are ornamented by star seeds.

This is the land where star seeds that born from light plants grow. They are collected by the light ponies that, every year, are sent to the sky in order to make the land fertile. Once that is made, anything the light ponies plant has its growth accelerated.

Due to all the light existed in there, the Light Kingdom is where the Lord of Chaos and his villains can't get in. However, as in the border the magic is not that strong, they can be there.
