* One reason why the Elternteil pantheon splintered was that they shunned and emotionally abused Temnobog for being born "evil", even though he personally didn't do anything evil to them at the time, while they favored Belyolen because he was born the pure and benevolent god they wanted. To ensure that Belyolen wouldn't be corrupted, they taught him to see Temnobog as "inferior" and prevented him from even seeing his brother, forcing him to watch as Temnobog endured more abuse [[ThenLetMeBeEvil until he snapped]]. This came to a head when Belyolen overheard some of his family discussing [[OffingTheOffspring the idea of getting rid of Temnobog entirely]]. Belyolen was so upset that he confronted his entire family and called them out on their arrogance and abusive hypocrisy, pointing out that [[NotSoDifferent they became no better than the evils they opposed by abusing a child for being born "wrong" in their eyes]], while shaming himself for not protecting or helping Temnobog when he needed it. This inspired many of his brothers and sisters to leave the Elternteil pantheon [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone out of guilt and shame]], spawning both the Bogolenya and Hoyklan pantheons. It's noted in Belyolen's entry that the Alicorn Primeval of Self-Love, Amour-De-Soi, helped Belyolen act on his decision by encouraging him to do the right thing out of disgust towards his family's arrogant complacency.

* A Scion of Hurricane called Prince Steel Barricade a "[[CategoryTraitor disgrace]]" to his face for being a former pegasus who [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascended]], and supporting "traitorous" pegasi such as Fiery Flight and others like her. Steel Barricade would [[UnstoppableRage snap]] as [[EvilReactionary reactionaries]] are one of his {{Berserk Button}}s, and proceeded to give the Scion a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown in public. However, RealityEnsues as while many people thought the Scion "deserved it", Steel Barricade's brothers had to pull him away before the situation escalated, and Golden Scepter was [[DisappointedInYou rather disappointed]] with his son for losing his temper, despite having no love for tribalists himself.

** A Scion of Hurricane called Prince Steel Barricade a "[[CategoryTraitor disgrace]]" to his face for being a former pegasus who [[DeityOfHumanOrigin Ascended]], and supporting "traitorous" pegasi such as Fiery Flight and others like her. Steel Barricade would [[UnstoppableRage snap]] as [[EvilReactionary reactionaries]] are one of his {{Berserk Button}}s, and proceeded to give the Scion a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown in public. However, RealityEnsues as while many people thought the Scion "deserved it", Steel Barricade's brothers had to pull him away before the situation escalated, and Golden Scepter was [[DisappointedInYou rather disappointed]] with his son for losing his temper, despite having no love for tribalists himself.
** In numerous instances, many members/followers of the Poenan pantheon, including Poena herself, often end up being punished by benevolent forces and individuals who are rightly disgusted and angry with their cruel, merciless, and excessive methods of exacting Justice.
*** A group of Poenan deities tried assassinating Temnobog under the belief that killing a GodOfEvil will "save" Equus. [[BigBrotherInstinct Belyolen]], Temnobog's kindhearted older twin brother, would [[CurbStompBattle quickly defeat the assailants]] and warn them that while he's willing to forgive them, he won't be as merciful should they try again. Sure enough, [[TooDumbToLive the Poenan allies try again]], this time going after the Four Terrors as well. As punishment, Belyolen gave the group to a gleeful Temnobog and his family, [[PayEvilUntoEvil who all proceeded to punish their would-be killers as they saw fit]].
*** [[GodEmperor Golden Scepter]], ruler of the Terran Empire, would publicly decry the Poenan pantheon as a group of "deluded extremists", offending them so much that Poena led a small group of divine/mortal followers against him. [[CurbStompBattle They would get their collective ass kicked]] when Golden Scepter revealed that he is a ''much'' more powerful, older, and experienced god than he looked, resulting in a swift defeat. In addition, they're further humiliated when Katharsis showed up to take pictures and sent the photos to everyone the Poenan pantheon had wronged in the name of "Justice".
*** A canonized Codexverse drabble reveals that a group of young Poenan followers tried [[WouldHurtAChild attacking Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon]] for being [[TheBully former bullies]] because they saw a "greater evil" waiting to emerge, despite the two having atoned for their actions. This would earn them the wrath of Prince Fanged Paw, Golden Scepter's second-oldest son, who proceeded to [[CurbStompBattle thrash and humiliate]] them for trying to go after those he deemed his "protectorates".

* One Elternteil deity insulted and demeaned Bolezn to the point of making the latter cry, ''enraging'' his siblings to the point where [[BigBrotherInstinct Yarost chased after the offending deity as a literally burning stag, and punched the guy in the face just before the other Bogolenya deities successfully restrained him]]. Belyolen, while massively displeased with his nephew because of the repercussions it might have for both the Bogolenya and Elternteil pantheons, [[KarmaHoudini ultimately let Yarost go scot-free]] because he later acknowledged that [[HypocrisyNod if Temnobog was insulted, Belyolen wouldn't hesitate to defend him as well]].

Added DiffLines:

!!''Fanfic/CodexEquus''
* Pakak has this as an explicit ''power''. He can convert a person's good or evil karma into spells, either giving them a great blessing or a terrible curse. Apparently he tore out one of Discord's fangs using his own evil during their fight when he was sealed. And after he learned that some Cutie Mark-phobic ponies from [[VideoGame/StoryOfTheBlanks Sunnytown]] murdered a young filly for getting a Cutie Mark, he cursed everyone to live as zombies until they took responsibility and atoned for their crimes. He was noted to have felt not a shred of remorse for doing it.
* Choice warned the Changelings and Dragons that their actions against Queen Acherontia and Dragon Lord Vulcan out of FantasticRacism and paranoia would inevitably have consequences and come back to bite them. Cue the two's hybrid daughter returning a millennia later, royally ticked off and on the warpath against them for what was done to her family. Notably, even Mothryu pointed out this was something they brought on themselves to the point she refused to do more than evacuate the innocent civilians from her warpath.
** Empress Blackrose received this for mistreating her daughter out of disgust towards her relationship with a dragon as well as her hybrid daughter - many of her children called her out on her actions, with Princess/Captain Mimetidae outright ''punching'' Blackrose in the jaw before she cut off contact with her family for a few centuries. Queen Pentatomidae avoided the Spring Court for longer at a whopping ''500 years''. Puck also pointed out that Choice told them what the consequences of their racism would be, yet they didn't heed the deity's warning, capping off with [[IWarnedYou "I told you so."]]
* The Clovenist Empire had committed a few share of atrocities - when their Mana Bomb ocean tests resulted in the birth of a few {{Kaiju}}, they refused to take responsibility for it. And when they attempted to experiment on the Sparkle Ponies, some of them ended up killed by an enraged Visitor. As a result, most countries dislike or hate the Clovenists with a passion, with the Neighponese wind god Kazekami calling them "honourless cowards".
* One reason why the Elternteil pantheon splintered was that they shunned and emotionally abused Temnobog for being born "evil", even though he personally didn't do anything evil to them at the time, while they favored Belyolen because he was born the pure and benevolent god they wanted. To ensure that Belyolen wouldn't be corrupted, they taught him to see Temnobog as "inferior" and prevented him from even seeing his brother, forcing him to watch as Temnobog endured more abuse [[ThenLetMeBeEvil until he snapped]]. This came to a head when Belyolen overheard some of his family discussing [[OffingTheOffspring the idea of getting rid of Temnobog entirely]]. Belyolen was so upset that he confronted his entire family and called them out on their arrogance and abusive hypocrisy, pointing out that [[NotSoDifferent they became no better than the evils they opposed by abusing a child for being born "wrong" in their eyes]], while shaming himself for not protecting or helping Temnobog when he needed it. This inspired many of his brothers and sisters to leave the Elternteil pantheon [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone out of guilt and shame]], spawning both the Bogolenya and Hoyklan pantheons. It's noted in Belyolen's entry that the Alicorn Primeval of Self-Love, Amour-De-Soi, helped Belyolen act on his decision by encouraging him to do the right thing out of disgust towards his family's arrogant complacency.
* Two disgraced teachers and criminals, Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker, tried replicating the Ascension process so they could help Ponykind tap into its collective inner potential by luring/kidnapping and experimenting on young foals and teenagers who have great talent/potential. The first time literally blew up in their faces when one of their students, Scarlet Bell, confronted and fought them to save her classmates from a "monster", and the resulting fight created a huge fire after Noble Grace's spells misfired. The second time, after Midnight Bell made some more lies out of stress and to save face for her initial dishonesty, Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker would try again with Page Wheel, a unicorn colt they kidnapped and experimented on under the false belief that he was a ChildProdigy. Page Wheel became a [[MagicEater magic-devouring monster]] that not only caused a lot of damage in his rampage through the Grittish Isles, but he also exposed Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker's crimes and left Noble Grace completely powerless by draining her of all her magic, revealing her true age as a very elderly mare. At the end of the day, Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker were arrested, tried, and put away for their crimes, with an angry Luminiferous chewing them out for their actions while showing them their own potential that they squandered.
* High King Irminsul ended up becoming a BadlyBatteredBabysitter when he met [[BrattyHalfPint Scrappus]]. After the latter somehow dug his way into the Elternteil pantheon's territory, he let Scrappus stay for a while, having sensed no genuine malice in him. Unfortunately for them, Scrappus turned out to be so bratty that he injured many of his family members and their divine servants, drove Irminsul's wife Arvan to tears, and caused Irminsul himself to enter a rare fit of anger and swallow Scrappus whole for a time-out. While this caused Scrappus to have a JerkassRealization and change his ways, it was also karma for Irminsul, [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter who emotionally abused Temnobog for being evil even though he never did anything evil at the time]], only to end up with a ''real'' brat later on. It's also because of this that Temnobog himself is one of the only few people who has a good opinion of Scrappus, [[AntagonisticOffspring due to his murderous hatred of Irminsul]].
* One Elternteil deity insulted and demeaned Bolezn to the point of making the latter cry, ''enraging'' his siblings to the point where [[BigBrotherInstinct Yarost chased after the offending deity as a literally burning stag, and punched the guy in the face just before the other Bogolenya deities successfully restrained him]]. Belyolen, while massively displeased with his nephew because of the repercussions it might have for both the Bogolenya and Elternteil pantheons, [[KarmaHoudini ultimately let Yarost go scot-free]] because he later acknowledged that [[HypocrisyNod if Temnobog was insulted, Belyolen wouldn't hesitate to defend him as well]].
