The first stop on our journey to redesign My Little Pony Gen 5 is none other than the famous Maretime Bay! (A.K.A., the only location I genuinely liked in the movie 😅).
• I kept it mostly the same with a few minor changes
• I also really like the idea of a seaside location for Gen 5, so I played that up a little more in the story.
• Starting off, Maretime Bay is the biggest import/export Bay in all of Equestria, often shipping food and other essentials to the other pony kinds
• Hardwork and Integrity are the backbones of Bay with most Earth Ponies priding themselves on being good, honest ponies
• It's because of this Earth Ponies tend to look down on unicorns and Pegasi believing most to be lazy or manipulative
• They are weary about the use of magic, pefering to do things the simple/traditional way
• The town mayor Phyllis Cloverleaf shares a similar view, believing it to be dangerous and that Maretime Bay is better off separated from the rest of Equestria
• The most iconic feature in the Bay is the Lavender Lighthouse used to warn of incoming threats and danger to the harbor
(I think I'm going to do a separate post describing the characters on a little more detail, cause I don't want to overwhelm you guys.
