A younger Scorpan and Star Swirl.

Headcanons about Scorpan:

Scorpan was Star Swirl's first real friend!

Despite being bigger than them (and most ponies) Scorpan is younger than the Pillars.

After Tirek's imprisonment, Scorpan had returned home to tell his parents the news. But after that, he had returned to Equestria. By the time Scorpan came back, Stygian had already brought the Pillars together to defeat the Sirens, so Scorpan wasn't around for that. Scorpan reunited with Star Swirl and became friends with the other Pillars.

Scorpan helped the Pillars create the seed that would become the Tree of Harmony, but asked Star Swirl not to record his involvement (for unknown reasons).

After the Pillars sacrificed themselves to defeat the Pony of Shadows, Scorpan returned to his homeland once again.

Scorpan had found Spike's egg by itself in the middle of nowhere, and decided to take it with him. Scorpan decided to give it to Star Swirl, who gave it to Celestia and Luna. This is a reference to Generation 1 obviously.

The same way the Mane 6 got their elements from the Pillars, Spike got his element from Scorpan.

Scorpan's friendship with Stygian is similar to Spike's friendship with Starlight Glimmer.

Years after the Tree of Harmony grew, Scorpan returned to Equestria to take a branch from the Tree, and created the Staff of Sacanas.

4/4 first - prev

The pillars are a legendary hypothetical group of heroes. A few old files dating from before the sisters reign have been found on the group but were heavily redacted from before the separation of Equus and Equestria. Only hypothesis can be done on its role and members. From what scholars have deciphered, Starswirl the Bearded seems to have been involved in a way or another as most redacting have been registered as being of his doing. Princess Celestia has indicated her lack of knowledge about any group her old mentor could have been a part off aside from the solar mages. --------------------------- Originally I tried another style soooo, little bonus !

I have this theory that Stygian is an umbrum unicorn just like Sombra. And one of the traits of half-ponies, is they don't get cutie marks. But that is more of a headcannon than a theory.

Anyway, I think that is why he was much more perceptive to the shadows temptation, the shadows are umbrums calling him out to join them. Stygian evil form is also similar to Sombra's. That is all

Stygian might be my favorite of the Pillars of Equestria and it's always made me sad that he wasn't used more in the show. So I decided to team up with my new friend Orin who's taken the time to make a bunch of amazing Pillar redesigns (same person I made this Starswirl animation rig for as a gift) that i'll be incorporating into my future animation project simply titled the "Tree of Harmony AU" at the moment until I can come up with a better name. The Pillars are very important characters to Harmony's story so I wanna do them justice. Listed below is some context for these sketches provided by my friend Orin and some written bits from myself. This is a Stygian who's been separated from the Pony of Shadows for some time, but is now dealing with the consequences of dark magic. I've had so much fun throwing ideas back and forth for this AU and I can't wait to share more in the near future.

The Pony of Shadows is not so easily purged, even with the combined strength of the past and present Elements of Harmony. A fragment of the shadow lives on in Stygian, inextricably bound to him, but small enough that it can no longer influence him. He has abilities superficially similar to King Sombra's, albeit on a much smaller scale, and definitely needs practice before he can comfortably wield this new strength.

The lingering dark magic corruption from Stygian's time with the shadow is visible on different parts of his body, mainly his eyes when using magic, some discoloration on the inside of his mouth and tongue, and his magic color.

As Stygian exerts better control of the fragment of shadow still attached to him, he eventually gains the ability to "Shadow Walk" or travel between shadows. This temporary form makes him look eerily similar to the Pony of Shadows. Pretty spooky.

Princess Luna ends up becoming Stygian's new mentor to help him gain better control of his magic corruption since she has direct experience with dark magic when she turned into Nightmare Moon.

Stygian's special talent is writing. His autobiography, Me and My Shadow, was an instant hit not just because he's a pony from a time long passed, but because he's a genuine wordsmith.  Stygian redesign by Orin331

Of Ponies and Their Shadows

Equestria is a place of many creatures, most of them living during the day but there are some creatures of dark. Some simply preferring to live under the shine of the moon and other unable to wander under the brightness of the sun. Here we are going to talk about three types of shadow-creatures which can link themselves to daydwellers. --------------------------- Umbra Pony

Umbra ponies are named this way due to the possession of an Umbra. Umbras are creatures generally living in the depth of the earth inside of natural caves. Those shadows links themselves to weaken individuals (unicorns having lost their horn, immuno-compromised ponies, every-so-often another kind of creatures but ponies are the most commonly touched) and uses their bodies as puppets to do their binding. Umbras tends to darken the coat of their host. Sometimes the host can make some resistance to the parasite but the longer the possession last, the harder it is to save the possessed. A bath of purifying water is generally the best remedy but can be unsufficient. Numerous alternative treatments have been thought of by different scholars but few are the umbra ponies which are captured alive as the parasite prefer to take its host with it despite the bath not killing nor damaging the Umbra from what the few studies found. -------------------- Shade

Shades are also shadow creature using an host but, contrary to Umbras, they have a symbiotic relation to their host. The host and the creature talks together and the host stays in control of their body. Shades are also far rarer and what little is known about them has been told by shades making their veracity doubted in some circles. Shades are extremely possessive and protective of their host, for a long time the host and their creatures were chased by Shadow Hunters. Those people generally considering the shades and umbras as the same creature with just one being more manipulative than the other. The hunt of shades and of umbras has been forbidden only six centuries ago. Shades pretends they link themselves to creatures which are as lonely as them and which lack the strength to live on their own. No host has ever been registered as having survived a forced separation. Report indicates than shades can separate themselves from their host if they wish to. --------------------- Tantabus

The Tantabus is a very different kind of creature from the previous two due to its uniqueness and deniable existence. Tantabus isn't a specie but an individual creature. It's living space is also very different due to its origin being the dream realm. The Tantabus is thought to be the ruler and bender of nightmares and its presence was discovered by the young princess of the Moon about a thousand years ago. Some theories on the old tale of the two sisters pretends than Tantabus could be what changed the younger sister, possibly an umbra, making her believe than people didn't appreciate her nights. Some pretends it could be a leftover from her, a monster made to force ponies out of their dreams to see her nights and than the report is a falsified document. Some, refusing to admit the existence of the younger princess due to Princess Celestia only talking about having had a younger sister and not than there was a second princess, think it is just another tale to scare foals with. Another threat for unruly filly and colt. When asked about the subject, Princess Celestia refused to comment.
