Under The Northern Lights is a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic written by sieurin (who calls himself Nattam on fanfiction.net). Princess Luna travels on a diplomatic journey to the cold reindeer kingdom Tarandroland, since reindeer pirates use it as a base to plunder northern Equestria. She brings with her Twilight Sparkle and Spike for help and companionship. The mission turn out to involve more action that politics, and, to quote the descriptive summary, Luna & Co have to deal with: "scheming unicorn courtiers, unfriendly surly reindeer, bloodthirsty pirates, ancient sorcery and dangerous monsters", not to mention old magic and beings born before Luna and Celestia. Every year, the reindeer have to fight Winter to make it go away - but this year it seems the battle is lost already in autumn... Is it possible that this time Winter might win for good?The story is a rather episodic fantasy story of the epic sort, with much World Building, not just for the country of Tarandroland but for everything from Equestrian comic books to the elder relatives of Luna and Celestia. It is ongoing, and until finished this page represents the unfinished story. | |

Our Titans Are Different | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_1daff673 | comment |
Our Titans Are Different: Luna's and Celestia's "aunts" and "uncles" (and presumably, parents). They are vast elemental beings which created the world and its intelligent species (learning the latter from the much younger Luna and Celestia when their toys turned into the first ponies because the sisters loved them so much - so yeah, ponies originated as toys of two little girls). The one we have seen in the fic is the water being called Karhu-Akka by reindeer. She combines traits of bear, cow, squid and whale and now sleeps in the shape of a huge glacier. If she awakes, horrible things will happen. Her rolling over in her sleep when Discord got free is one of the causes for the crisis in the fic, one which might kill all life in a country. Luna, however, remembers her as a kind aunt who played with her and Celestia by the sea and gave them wonderful toys. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_1edfa2c7 | comment |
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Luna (as well as Celestia, but we see very little of her). Princess Ljufa, though her work is equally off-stage. Prince Vigg wants to be one, but his family thinks he should grow up and get an education first (he's only fifteen). The only titled person we see who doesn't work much is King Ukko, and that's because he is an alcoholic who spends his days either drunk or hungover. He sharpens up later in the story, when his life and throne are directly threatened. | |

| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Kol objects to Vigg bringing an entourage on the quest to find the Sampo on the grounds that it doesn't fit what happens in the heroic quests in sagas. Celestia is able to placate him by convincing him that the situation is more like a war epic. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The author refers to his world-building as "anachronism gumbo". It begins in the early chapters where a seer "predicts" her goddess will return to her people by seeing it on TV, and Viking-like raiders loot electronics along with food and cloth. | |

Blade on a Stick | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_262861e1 | comment |
Blade on a Stick: Most reindeer who travel during the winter do so on skis, and use a single ski-staff which has a spearpoint (used for Mundane Utility as well as stabbing enemies or monsters). The legendary hero Sampo is said to have owned a magical spear. The informed opinion is that he must have owned a spear, since he was a reindeer warrior-noble, and as such he might have had it enchanted, but nothing is known. The Kings of Tarandroland carry a spear that is said to be Sampo's spear, but is a modern replica. It is enchanted, but mostly with a bunch of redundant magical attacks that are described as less than useful. | |

Sadly Mythtaken: Within the story. The Equestrian comic book hero Sampo the Warrior-Prince is based on the mythical Tarandroland hero Sampo. Based very loosely it seems. (The comic spoofed is rather obviously The Mighty Thor.) | |

| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Wiglek might be into cervine sacrifice to try and please Nightmare Moon, but he doesn't think highly on her betraying her own sister, calling her a "kinbetrayer" and "kin-slayer". And it turns out that he is only (at least currently), supporting the sacrifice of sentients in an attempt to get Luna to end his undeath. | |

| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_39441318 | comment |
Horny Vikings: The reindeer, at least those living on the coast, are a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to the Norse. Going a-viking hasn't been common in a long while, that they start off again is the reason for Luna's mission. No actual horns are needed due to their antlers. | |

Bad Powers, Bad People | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_542b8e66 | comment |
Bad Powers, Bad People: Magic that physically affects the world, as opposed to the inherent Sight of the reindeer, is seen as unnatural and creepy in Tarandroland. Therefore, sorcerers, be they reindeer who have learned magic or naturally skilled unicorns, are seen as sinister. The more powerful the sorcerer, the more evil they are assumed to be as a requirement for reaching that level of power and skill. The reindeer are practical enough to see this magic as sometimes useful and don't Burn the Witch!, but sorcerers are generally not trusted. | |

Magic Is Evil | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_54eceae6 | comment |
Magic Is Evil: The inherent magic of reindeer is The Sight, a form of passive divination that tells them things about the world. Magic that physically acts upon the world seems creepy and unnatural to them. Hence, all sorcery, whether it is learned by some reindeer or the kind that is inherent to unicorns, is seen as sinister. However, the reindeer are also practical enough to see it as sometimes necessary. | |

AlternateCharacterInterpretation | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_54f999c | comment |
Alternate Character Interpretation: In-Universe. The reindeer have very different views from ponies (and viewers/readers) on the Mane Six. The reindeer believe the Mane Six are Celestia's personal wetworks squad, a team of hand-picked elite troubleshooters led by "the most powerful and evil sorceress in the world", who take care of all major unrest in Equestria, and let Celestia be the benevolent ruler of a perfect little sugar bowl as far as everyone else is concerned. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Ubiqutous. Ponies about reindeer, reindeer about ponies, the zebra Paki about both categories, etc. In many cases it is not just mutual prejudice, it is also relatively low-key and consists of misunderstanding and underestimating the Other rather than outright oppression. The latter happens, though. Reindeer treat the Russ (immigrant dwarf Earth ponies) and the Urox (native aurochs) as second-class citizens, and we learn that ponies used to do the same to cattle, sheep and so on, who used to be slaves. Not everyone is racist over the board, either: the pirates of the Crimson Kraken are happily multi-cultural, but have a very negative view of "primitives" like the reindeer and the ponies from Tropical Island. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_57d43e40 | comment |
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Tarandroland is a mix of modern and medieval Scandinavia. The nomadic "Grazer" reindeer are obviously a counterpart to the Sami people, though with much more power and influence. Unlike modern Scandinavia, Tarandroland is pretty much a third world country, however. There are other examples: "camel sultanates" and ki-rin ruled by a "Mikado" are mentioned, and Equestria is treated as similar to the USA. | |

Meaningful Name: Many. "Saga" can mean both "seer" and "fairy tale": Saga has flights of fancy and is an actual seer.

Similar Squad | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_73470774 | comment |
Similar Squad: King Ukko and his five companions are pretty similar to the Six Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, though Ukko & Co are male, reindeer and old enough to be grandparents, of course. Twilight and Spike wonder about it. The equivalents seem to be King Ukko the Piercer = Applejack (honest, stubborn, family stag/mare), Mustikka the Tracker = Twilight Sparkle (sharpminded, No Social Skills, master organizer), Skiold the Bold = Rainbow Dash (brave, loyal, impulsive), Kol the Singer = Rarity (artistic, Large Ham), Galderhorn the Sorcerer = Fluttershy (shy, soft-spoken, cares for spirits/animals) and Heikko the Humongous = Pinkie Pie (constantly happy, hedonistic, Cloud Cuckoolander) | |

Talk Like a Pirate | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_7e5f2db2 | comment |
Talk Like a Pirate: Mr Moccus, first mate on The Crimson Kraken. He is the only pirate to speak like that, which Spike points out. He claims the Pegasi he learned Equestrian from long ago just happened to have that accent. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: King Ukko is a bitter drunkard. Heavy drinking is socially mandated among reindeer, but he does it enough that even they react negatively. | |

Our Liches Are Different | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_82a4fadc | comment |
Our Liches Are Different: Wiglek the Wicked was infused with a piece of the Nightmare while still alive, which turned him into a Lich when he died. He had asked to live forever when making a Deal with the Devil with Luna, when she was on her way to become Nightmare Moon, but was screwed over ("you will never die") and made into potentially undead instead. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: Luna's and Celestia's great-uncles and great-aunts are described in a vision as "lights…sounds…patterns of magic in a black sphere that itched the brain and made the soul cry". They decided the laws of nature, seemingly on a whim. The only hostile one seems to be Discord, though, and his reality warping powers are presumably because he never agreed to what his siblings decided. | |

Lovable Jock: Prince Vigg can be an immature brat but is usually quite a nice guy. His greatest interest seem to be winter sports, mostly skiing both cross-country and down-hill. He and his friends have apparently invented the snowboard as well. | |

Blind Seer | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_a122bf2f | comment |
Blind Seer: Inverted. Reindeer Sight is dependent on their eyes working. Eira is slowly going blind, and hence losing her clairvoyant ability. The reverse is also true, if Sight is disrupted, a reindeer will be unable to see. | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: The spy Lord Eminence when he realizes that his plot has been found out because he has been very careless because his special talent for being unobtrusive and even turning invisible doesn't work on reindeer, meaning there are lots of witnesses to his acts. He acted alone, convinced his success would force his superiors to accept a job well done, but Princess Luna is not only against the plan per se, she is also furious that he was so careless as to be found out. He doesn't say the actual phrase, but falls to the floor and moans "Mare in the Moon!" which prompts Luna to chastise him further for taking her name in vain when she is standing right there. | |

Ear Notch | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_a9b919a7 | comment |
Ear Notch: Very tradtional and very hard reindeer notch their ears for both ceremonial and cosmetic reasons. Some comparison could be made to Maori tattoos. The practice is stated to have been more common in the past, but fallen out of fashion. | |

Perky Goth | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_bdd4c302 | comment |
Perky Goth: Saga is a Nightmare Fetishist with a love for dark heavy makeup and macabre jewelry who works as a temple maiden in a temple to a goddess of night and darkness. She is also chirpy, happy and carefree most of the time, Spike even calling her a "goth Pinkie Pie". She claims that "goths are posers" so she probably wouldn't like the moniker herself. | |

| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_bddb820f | comment |
Must Have Caffeine: A cultural trait of the reindeer of Tarandroland. It is also Klatchian Coffee, at least according to Spike. This is of course because their real life counterparts, the Scandinavians, are heavy coffee drinkers. | |

Translator Microbes | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_bf487e2b | comment |
Translator Microbes: Twilight Sparkle knows a spell, developed using combined unicorn and zebra magics, that temporarily learns a language from a native speaker instantly. It has some minor issues: you automatically gain the "teacher's" dialect and vocabulary, and the casting process is potentially embarrassing. Of course, Twilight causes misunderstandings due to the latter. | |

Equivalent Exchange | |
| Under The Northern Lights / Fan Fic / int_d782bd52 | comment |
Equivalent Exchange: It is a central pillar of the reindeer worldview that there is a downside to everything. They don't trust magic because they think there has to be a price being paid by someone, even if it isn't the caster. They are wary of Equestria partly because it is such a nice place that whatever the downside is, it must be horrible. | |

Talking to the Dead: The deer of Hrimfaxi's temple can do this. They even try it to summon Wiglek's ghost to talk to him. It doesn't work. Note that ghosts in this universe were scientifically proven TO exist. Then think about why this wouldn't work. | |

The Power of Friendship: Unsurprisingly a theme, although focused on the groups of Vigg, Spike, and Saga or Ukko's True Companions. Parodied when Twilight Sparkle, while pretending to be an Evil Sorceress, receives the Mother of All Friendship Musicals from Princess Ljufa. | |
