History Characters / CodexEquusCunabala

* MakeMeWannaShout: Being half-Great Lion, he can induce magical roars.

* HybridPower: As a Leucrocuta, he has the [[MakeMeWannaShout magical roars]] of a Great Lion and the life magic of an Earth Pony.

* TrueBlueFemininity: She's a peacock-blue Deer-Draconequus goddess whose attire as Queen of her hell-fief consists of blue royal Alvslog Deer robes and a druidic cloak with golden patterns. She's also traditionally feminine by Alvslog standards, though initially like many Alvslog females, she was [[ExtremeDoormat submissive deferential]] to her elders and [[BlindObedience slavishly loyal]] to her people's societal and cultural traditions. It's thanks to the emotional support from everyone who genuinely loved her that she's working on overcoming her bigoted upbringing so she could oppose the harmful traditions that poisoned her.

** Deconstructed. In a perversion of the Alvslog Deer Herds' cultural reverence of prophets and Seers (especially precognitive Alvslog royalty), Krásná punishes damned shades who abused their powers and station in life by giving them unfiltered psychic visions, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation turning them into gibbering wrecks that are unable to distinquish true visions from hallucinations]]. Any attempts to change the future will either have one future ironically occuring, or whatever they're trying to avoid happening anyway. This especially reflects how High King Irminsul selfishly tried fulfilling his prophetic vision of a GoldenAge for mortal Deerkind by purifying his unborn son of his inner evil in-utero to create a 'perfect' and flawless god, but ended up killing/mutilating his son instead.

* RoyalBrat: Like in canon, she's King Danu's daughter, but is a spiteful, spoiled child who misused her Element of Equality to garner praise for herself rather than out of genuine goodwill, nearly destroyed the kingdom of Orinithia and later helped spark a war with Equestria unprovoked out of sheer spite. When she is dubbed the Element of Appeasement and stripped of her chosen Element, she immediately tries - and fails - to reach for it like a disobedient child who had their toys taken away as punishment.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She breaks down sobbing when the Tree of Patriotism chews her out for perverting her Element as she did, something she was already beginning to feel after her Element briefly abandoned her for Shining Armor.

* BladeOnAStick: His preferred weapon is a spear, likely due to his deformed right hind leg and the benefits of a ranged weapon.

* BladeOnAStick: Her main weapon is noted to be a royal spear with an ornate design. She's also skilled in archery by tradition, which she [[BowAndSwordInAccord uses in conjunction to her spear]].

* BowAndSwordInAccord: Her main weapon is a [[BladeOnAStick royal spear]] with an ornate design, but by tradition, she is also a skilled archer who uses enchanted arrows to inflict elemental damage.

** [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/875815844/4947726120 A later drabble]] reveals she became a student of Bon Bon/Princess Fasan Creideamh Grittin, and eventually succeeded in proving herself worthy of wielding the Element of Faith.

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: ''Exaggerated''. She has lots of younger brothers and sisters from her biological Alvslog family, but later on she would gain even more upon moving to the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon, where it's revealed that she has hundreds, if not thousands of half-siblings thanks to Pokhot [[ReallyGetsAround sleeping around]]. After being adopted by Blue Suede Heartstrings/Caerulus Melodia Equestria, she discovered that she has ''even more'' siblings, aunts, and uncles by virtue of her adoptive father also sleeping around (though not as much as Pokhot) and being connected to the [[DontFearTheReaper Trimortidae]], by itself an extremely large family. It immediately led to her {{Fainting}}.

* MassiveNumberedSiblings: ''Exaggerated''. She has lots of younger brothers and sisters from her biological Alvslog family, but later on she would gain even more upon moving to the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon, where it's revealed that she has hundreds, if not thousands of half-siblings thanks to Pokhot [[ReallyGetsAround sleeping around]]. After being adopted by Blue Suede Heartstrings/Caerulus Melodia Equestria, she discovered that she has ''even more'' siblings, aunts, and uncles by virtue of her adoptive father also sleeping around (though not as much as [[HornyDevils Pokhot]]) and being connected to the [[DontFearTheReaper Trimortidae]], by itself an extremely large family. It immediately led to her {{Fainting}}.

* OurBansheesAreLouder: It's revealed she's a Banshee, though a more mythologically accurate one who doesn't actually kill with her scream, but rather to mourn and warn of death.

* KingOfBeasts: He's a [[MinorlyMentionedMythsAndMonsters Leucrocuta]], a mythical Lion/Horse hybrid, who was bred to closely resemble the original King Danu through [[RoyalInbreeding a millennia of eugenics and selective breeding]]. He originally started off as a Duke, but his refusal to follow his family's corrupt traditions and efforts to do something about them ends with him being crowned King and founder of a new dynasty once the 'Cunabalan Civil War' is finished.

* MinorlyMentionedMythsAndMonsters: He is a Leucrocuta, a Lion/Horse hybrid.

* MinorlyMentionedMythsAndMonsters: His avatar is a Leucrocuta, a Lion/Horse hybrid. His similarities to ex-King Danu, another Leucrocuta, is what causes him to be mistaken for a family ancestor by the latter. While not confirmed, it's implied he actually modeled his avatar after the original King Danu.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/875815844/4947468654 The Tree of Patriotism chews out the Knights for their atrocities before deconstructing both their collective worldviews, revealing how they came to embody the tyrannical sides of their respective Elements instead of healthy, constructive Patriotism as they should be]]. He also points out that regardless of how they were raised by their predecessors, [[FreudianExcuse it still didn't justify their choice to wage war unprovoked with another sovereign nation and hurt innocent people for possessing other sets of Elements]].

* NostalgiaFilter: ''Deconstructed and defied''. She has no delusions that the Alvslog Deer Herds' nature-based societies are "better" than the progressive ones the other mortal Deer Herds have developed over time, because in her youth, she grew up in an Alvslog Deer kingdom that was at its worst and suffered personally for it. Even after moving into a more tolerant environment, she continued clinging to her society's traditions because that's all she knew, until she met people who sympathized with her and encouraged her to overcome her bigotry. Much of her punishments in her hell-fief revolve around giving traditionalists and reactionaries [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor exactly what they wanted]], being put in cruel parodies of the civilizations and past time periods that they fondly look back upon.

%%* MulticoloredHair:

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: While she loves all her family members, she's pretty close to Blue Suede Heartstrings. During her time as a runaway, Blue Suede helped her with her trauma and encouraged her to protect innocent people from toxic traditions, which led to her [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascending to true godhood]] after years of punishing the wicked. While their relationship hit a rough spot when she kept Blue Suede's problems a secret (which he requested), she made amends by being part of the group who [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind psychically entered Blue Suede's mind]] to save him from '[[EnemyWithin The Colonel]]', and helping him psychologically heal once Blue Suede wakes up from his AngstComa. She is later adopted by Blue Suede, now Prince Caerulus Melodia Equestria, finally giving her a loving and tolerant father-figure... though Caerulus' marriage to her half-brother, Prince Stoltur, makes their relationship complicated and awkward. She does stay in touch with Caerulus and his family after opting to stay in the Bogolenya Deer Pantheon.

* BlueIsHeroic: Subverted. She has a peacock-blue pelt, and she wears dark-blue royal Alvslog Deer robes and a blue druid's cloak with golden patterns. She is by nature an evil and depraved goddess who acts like a rigid, cruel, and dystopian tyrant, but she uses her nature to target those who committed crimes related to the unfettered and toxic aspects of tradition, order, and sovereignty. However, her traditional upbringing as an Alvslog Princess has made her more moderate and controlled in her evil, making her a TokenGoodTeammate for her family by conventional standards. She was also influenced positively by those who are both associated with blue and genuinely heroic, such as Blue Suede Heartstrings/Prince Caerulus Melodia Equestria, who would later become [[ParentalSubstitute her adoptive father]].

** One of her biggest influences in her life is Blue Suede Heartstrings, now Prince Caerulus Melodia Equestria. When Blue Suede found her in her DarkestHour, he treated her with kindness and encouraged her to protect people from harmful traditions. He also helped her reunite with Pokhot, who was looking for her runaway daughter. This motivated Krásná to rethink her bigotry and devote herself to becoming a punisher of the wicked like the rest of her infernal family. When Blue Suede suffered a near-Fall, she repaid him by helping him defeat '[[EnemyWithin The Colonel]]' and staying by his side while he recovers. After becoming a Prince and joining the Equestrian Pantheon, Blue Suede/Caerulus decides to adopt her to give her a loving father-figure, though it's hilariously made somewhat complicated by the fact that Krásná's younger half-brother, Prince Stoltur, is now Blue Suede's husband.

* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: Invoked. Many of her punishments for the damned shades revolve around forcing them to adhere to rigid, uncompromising schedules and traditions, living in orderly environments where even the slightest deviation isn't tolerated, or being turned into statues as a perversion of order through inorganic stillness. This reflects how the recipients engaged in tyranny in life by enforcing harmful, toxic rules and traditions in the name of order, with no care to how many innocents they end up hurting in the process.

** She would end up [[NotSoDifferentRemark comparing]] the [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/891883225/4948858296 disgraced ex-King Neit]] to her [[AbusiveParents birth father]], being so fanatical in their devotion to good and moral purity that they ultimately left themselves vulnerable to corruption. When Neit's damned spirit tried justifying his actions by [[NeverMyFault blaming Discord]], she would roar back that ''he'' was responsible for his own crimes, not Discord.
--> '''Queen Krásná Tradice:''' You are just like my father, believing in the eradication of 'evil' in favor of 'good', only to be seduced by the very evils he opposed! And now you're here in my paws, suffering for your sins!\\
'''King Neit:''' Everything I did was to prevent the Serpent-!\\

* HappilyAdopted: She would be adopted by Blue Suede Heartstrings after he made a full psychological recovery and joined the Equestrian Pantheon as 'Prince Caerulus Melodia Equestria', which not even she objected to since her birth father was an abusive and hypocritical bigot. But what makes their relationship somewhat awkward is that one of her younger half-brothers, Stoltur Skjöldur, is now Caerulus' husband, which by her own admission she finds a little weird. To Caerulus' credit, he acknowledged this and initially didn't want to adopt Krásná because of it, but did it anyway because she deserved a much better father-figure in her life.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Following ex-King Neit's death and [[DraggedOffToHell damnation]], she would accuse him of being similar to her [[AbusiveParents birth father]], who was so devoted to a puristic form of 'good' that he gradually became an abusive, insane tyrant. When Neit tries [[NeverMyFault blaming Discord for his actions]], she would [[ShutUpHannibal roar back]] that his actions were his own.

* ThePsychoRangers: They're what the other Bearers could become if they were raised by toxic, bigoted people and indoctrinated to have a BlackAndWhiteMorality towards Harmony and 'good'. The Mane Six especially applies, with King Danu being the complete opposite of Princess Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle and a living representation of what happens if Celestia actually groomed Twilight/Amicitia to become a Bearer and left her utterly incapable of thinking for herself.

[[folder:King Danu]]
The leader of the Knights of Harmony/Order, and the former King of Cunabala.

* EvilCounterpart: To Princess Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle Equestria. Both were magical prodigies chosen by higher authorities to achieve a great destiny, except King Danu was indoctrinated since foalhood to follow a very twisted form of Patriotism and kept from going beyond his designated purpose of being a successor to the original Knights of Harmony. Twilight/Amicitia, on the other hand, was tutored by Celestia, who, while flawed herself, was open-minded and genuinely tried to give her morals and compassion in addition to nurturing her magical talents.

* ShadowArchetype: He's everything Twilight/Amicitia could be if she was influenced by puristic, bigoted, and corrupt people with a ''very'' narrowminded view on Harmony and 'good'. Instead of a compassionate hero who befriended everyone and fought to protect them from genuinely wicked entities, King Danu became a xenophobic, fanatical KnightTemplar who desired to destroy the other Trees of Harmony (save for Cunabala's own Tree of Patriotism) and kill their Bearers because he couldn't trust others to use the power of Harmony for good. And as a result of his restrictive upbringing, King Danu cannot see beyond his BlackAndWhiteMorality or his designated purpose of being a Knight of Harmony.

* TokenEvilTeammate: Though the current Knights of Harmony/Order are a bunch of xenophobic {{Knight Templar}}s, he is noted by the Tree of Patriotism to be the most sadistic of them, as he's the one who [[{{Sadist}} actively enjoyed the harm he caused in ridding people of their magic]]. As a consequence, he is dubbed the Element of Malfeasance, which is wrongful/unlawful conduct that is intentionally conducted by those in positions of authority/power.

* MinorlyMentionedMythsAndMonsters: His avatar is a Leucrocuta, a Lion/Horse hybrid. His similarities to King Danu, another Leucrocuta, is what causes him to be mistaken for a family ancestor by the latter. While not confirmed, it's implied he actually modeled his avatar after the original King Danu.

[[folder:King Danu's father]]

* AbusiveParents: Implied. He groomed his son, the current King Danu, to be a Bearer of Patriotism like the original Knights of Harmony, never giving him the freedom to be anything beyond his designated purpose. He also indoctrinated Danu to believe in Patriotism as he ''thinks'' it should be, not what it actually ''is''. This led to Danu becoming a psychologically unstable KnightTemplar who did horrible things in the name of his country, including starting a war with Equestria unprovoked. When Princess Twilight/Amicitia [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/875815844/4947527244 realizes this]], she starts [[SympathyForTheDevil feeling sorry for Danu]], much to his [[VillainousBreakdown fury]].
* TheChainOfHarm: It's implied that he's part of a long-lasting ViciousCycle of abuse, fanaticism, and psychological indoctrination based on extremely warped perceptions of what the Knights of Harmony stood for. It's this upbringing that eventually created the current King Danu and the current Knights of Harmony/Order.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: By abusing and indoctrinating his son into becoming a facsimile of the original Knights of Harmony, he turned the current King Danu into a fanatical and xenophobic KnightTemplar who was willing to wage war with Equestria unprovoked in the name of his country.

* HandicappedBadass: He was born with a deformed leg due to inbreeding. This didn't stop him from being a RebelLeader and effecting combatant.

* RedeemingReplacement: She's the successor to ex-King Danu as the Canubalan Element of Loyalty. Unlike him, she's TheHighQueen and a genuine benevolent person who embodies ''true'' loyalty to what her country should be.

* MinorlyMentionedMythsAndMonsters: His avatar a Leucrocuta, a Lion/Horse hybrid. His similarities to King Danu, another Leucrocuta, is what causes him to be mistaken for a family ancestor by the latter. While not confirmed, it's implied he actually modeled his avatar after the original King Danu.

* MyGreatestFailure: For her, it's her inability to step in and protect one of her younger brothers from being killed by their xenophobic, puristic father after he accidentally outed himself as a Deer-Draconequus hybrid. Although [[MamaBear Pokhot]] avenged her brother for her, she is haunted by the incident because she let her own fears and obligation to her kingdom keep her from acting. Worse, the Alvslog Deer Herds' extremely intolerant views on [[AbsoluteXenophobe race]] and [[HalfBreedDiscrimination hybrids]] prevented her from grieving her brother's death for years. Fortunately, Cloudy Brush of the Trimortidae would help her open up with her feelings and let her cry.

* OhMyGods: She mutters "By the Father of All Deerkind..." in horror when she learns that Moon Ray Vaughoof gained a nasty-looking permanent head scar courtesy of his drunkard father. She then proceeds to mentally chastise herself for it.

!!!'''Rank: Godling'''

!!Knights of Harmony/Order/Tyranny
[[folder:General]]
* AdaptationalKarma: While in canon the Knights ''were'' defeated and captured, here there's the addition of the Tree of Patriotism personally manifesting to [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech personally chew them out]] and [[DePower reclaim its Elements]], having found them no longer worthy. It then proceeds to broadcast this to Cunabala, ensuring they're now disgraced in their homeland and everyone knows they've been stripped of their position.
* DePower: The Tree of Patriotism declares the Knights unworthy as Bearers when they refuse to see the error of their ways even after being defeated, and formally strips them of their Elements.
* LaserGuidedKarma: For abusing their powers as Bearers to hurt people and starting a war with Equestria unprovoked, they were deemed unworthy by the Tree of Patriotism and stripped of their chosen Elements. The Tree of Patriotism also dubs them the "Knights of Tyranny" for how they used their Elements in tyrannical ways, and broadcasts their crimes to the entire country of Cunabala.
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: The current Knights were chosen to wield the Elements of Patriotism based on them being strong magic-users rather than genuinely embodying each aspect of Patriotism in character. It's deconstructed as the current Knights were so indoctrinated into being Bearers by their predecessors that they misused their Elements by applying them in ways that would actually benefit a tyrannical regime. The Tree of Patriotism hoped that their conflict with the Equestrians would [[HeelRealization make them see the error of their ways]]. But once it became clear they didn't change, the Tree of Patriotism confronted the current Knights and punished them by deeming them unworthy and stripping them of their respective Elements.
* ThePsychoRangers: They're what the other Bearers could become if they were raised by toxic, bigoted people and indoctrinated to have a BlackAndWhiteMorality towards Harmony and 'good'. The Mane Six especially applies, with King Danu being the complete opposite of Princess Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle and a living representation of what happens if Celestia actually groomed Twilight/Amicitia to become a Bearer and left her utterly incapable of thinking for herself.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/875815844/4947468654 The Tree of Patriotism chews out the Knights for their atrocities before deconstructing both their collective worldviews, revealing how they came to embody the tyrannical sides of their respective Elements instead of healthy, constructive Patriotism as they should be]]. He also points out that regardless of how they were raised by their predecessors, [[FreudianExcuse it still didn't justify their choice to wage war unprovoked with another sovereign nation and hurt innocent people for possessing other sets of Elements]].
* {{Tykebomb}}: Deconstructed. The current Knights were chosen to be Bearers based on magical strength/potential, and then raised and indoctrinated their whole lives to embody the Elements of Patriotism as how their predecessors envisioned the Elements, not what they actually are. This abusive, restrictive upbringing prevented the current Knights from thinking for themselves and turned them into KnightTemplar fanatics that are unable to comprehend things that are beyond what they're made to do. When the Tree of Patriotism shows up to deem them unworthy of their Elements and DePower them, the experience ''[[VillainousBreakdown breaks them]]''.
* VillainousBreakdown: The Knights are devastated when the Tree of Patriotism deems them unworthy as Bearers in a lengthy TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and strips them of their chosen Elements. Of the six, however, two start [[VillainousBSOD feeling genuine remorse for the atrocities they committed]].
* VillainousBSOD: Being [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chewed out]] by the [[TheChooserOfTheOne Tree of Patriotism]] causes at least two Knights to feel guilt for their actions. Because of this, the Tree of Patriotism is less condemning of them and encourages them to redeem themselves so they can truly be worthy of their Elements.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:King Danu]]
The leader of the Knights of Harmony/Order, and the former King of Cunabala.

* BigBad: He's the leader of the Knights of Order/Tyranny and thus the main antagonist of the Canabulan Crisis.
* BigShutUp: He shouts "SHUT UP!" in response to Twilight/Amicitia spelling out to him that he's essentially nothing but a twisted reflection of the original Knights of Harmony, forced to follow their beliefs by his father his entire life by narrowminded people like his father until he could only think about his purpose.
* DontYouDarePityMe: He is enraged by Twilight/Amicitia's genuine sympathy for him, insisting that he's his own person and quickly roaring at her to shut up when she points out he was essentially indoctrinated by his [[AbusiveParents father]] his entire life into becoming a twisted reflection of the original Knights of Harmony.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Justified and deconstructed. Like his [[AbusiveParents father]] and ancestors before him, he is a product of a long-standing ViciousCycle of abuse and indoctrination. Because of how he was raised by his father, he believes in a very twisted form of Patriotism and is incapable of thinking beyond that. He is enraged by Princess Twilight/Amicitia's sympathy for him, and when the Tree of Patriotism later deems him unworthy of his Element of Loyalty, all he does is protest that he was "raised from birth to use that". His inability to comprehend true empathy and loyalty to one's country and people elicits genuine sympathy from Princess Twilight/Amicitia, as his father did to him what her mentor, Celestia, was accused of doing to her. However, the Tree of Patriotism condemns him for his horrible actions and points out his background doesn't justify them, revealing that he had every opportunity to break free of his indoctrination yet chose not to.
* EvilCounterpart: To Princess Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle Equestria. Both were magical prodigies chosen by higher authorities to achieve a great destiny, except King Danu was indoctrinated since foalhood to follow a very twisted form of Patriotism and kept from going beyond his designated purpose of being a successor to the original Knights of Harmony. Twilight/Amicitia, on the other hand, was tutored by Celestia, who, while flawed herself, was open-minded and genuinely tried to give her morals and compassion in addition to nurturing her magical talents.
* FreudianExcuse: Deconstructed. He was indoctrinated by his father, the [[AbusiveParents previous King Danu]], into behaving like the original Knights of Harmony and upholding their beliefs, leaving him psychologically unstable and unable to think beyond his designated purpose. When Princess Twilight/Amicitia realizes this, she starts feeling genuinely sorry for him. However, as the Tree of Patriotism later points out, he was never instructed to do the horrible things he did by the people who raised him - all of that was by ''his own hoof''.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The Codexverse [[AdaptationalKarma expands on his fate]] following his defeat - he (and his Knights) is confronted by the Tree of Patriotism, who not only furiously condemns him for perverting/abusing his chosen Element, but strips him of said Element and broadcasts his crimes to all of Cunabala. He is also stripped of his royal legitimacy of King of Cunabala, ending the Danu dynasty with him, and his more benevolent nephew, Duke Aengus, is crowned 'King Aengus the First' in his place, starting a new dynasty.
* ShadowArchetype: He's everything Twilight/Amicitia could be if she was influenced by puristic, bigoted, and corrupt people with a ''very'' narrowminded view on Harmony and 'good'. Instead of a compassionate hero who befriended everyone and fought to protect them from genuinely wicked entities, King Danu became a xenophobic, fanatical KnightTemplar who desired to destroy the other Trees of Harmony (save for Cunabala's own Tree of Patriotism) and kill their Bearers because he couldn't trust others to use the power of Harmony for good. And as a result of his restrictive upbringing, King Danu cannot see beyond his BlackAndWhiteMorality or his designated purpose of being a Knight of Harmony.
* {{Tykebomb}}: Deconstructed. His father, the previous King Danu, raised him from birth to follow the original Knights of Harmony and indoctrinated him to follow a ''very'' narrowminded, corrupt version of Patriotism. This not only turned him into a fanatical KnightTemplar, but also left him utterly incapable of thinking beyond his designated purpose. Twilight/Amicitia feels genuinely sorry for him because of how horribly he was treated by his father. However, the Tree of Patriotism condemns him for his horrible actions and points out his background doesn't justify them, revealing that he had every opportunity to break free of his indoctrination yet chose not to.

[[folder:Princess Ceridwen]]

* DivineParentage: He's implied to be [[spoiler:the son of the Genesis Sovereign, who created the Trees in order to help fix the damage caused by the Void Sovereign's attempt to destroy Equus during its Second Age]].

* ItIsBeyondSaving: The Cunabalan government had become so fanatical and corrupt that the Tree views it as this, something proven correct when loyalists remain in control after Danu is stripped of his position and publicly condemned by the Tree. As a result, it allows a year long CivilWar to happen, understanding that it's the only way anything will change.

* AbusiveParents: Implied. He groomed his son, the current King Danu, to be a Bearer of Patriotism like the original Knights of Harmony, never giving him the freedom to be anything beyond his designated purpose, and indoctrinated Danu to believe in Patriotism as he ''thinks'' it should be, not what it actually ''is''. This led to Danu becoming a psychologically unstable KnightTemplar who did horrible things in the name of his country, including starting a war with Equestria unprovoked. When Princess Twilight/Amicitia [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/875815844/4947527244 realizes this]], she starts [[SympathyForTheDevil feeling sorry for Danu]], much to his [[VillainousBreakdown fury]].

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The Tree of Patriotism chews out the Knights for their atrocities before deconstructing both their collective worldviews, revealing how they came to embody the tyrannical sides of their respective Elements instead of healthy, constructive Patriotism as they should be. He also points out that regardless of how they were raised by their predecessors, [[FreudianExcuse it stil didn't justify their choice to wage war unprovoked with another sovereign nation and hurt innocent people for possessing other sets of Elements]].

Character: Heroic

King Aengus (profile [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Heroes-and-Villains-34-875815844 here]]) is the nephew of the former King Danu who ultimately staged a rebellion to take the throne and set things right.

* RedeemingReplacement: She's the successor to Danu as the Canubalan Element of Loyalty. Unlike him, she's TheHighQueen and a genuine benevolent person who embodies ''true'' loyalty to what her country should be.
