Manehattan.

To many, it's a city of lights and sounds, fashion and theater. Ponies from all over come here to try and make it in one way or another, seeking a way to become famous and beloved like so many that have come from there. And in some ways, it's true that Manehattan is one of the best places to make something of yourself in industries like fashion and acting and even in politics. But fame is fleeting and Manehattan is forever a place that has become over time a cesspool of crime and violence.

That's where we come in. The Sunlit Detective Agency. I'm half of a brother-sister detective duo seeking to solve crimes that the police can't handle due to lack of leads or delicacy in a particular case, which has become more and more common. We love our work, but this isn't an origin story. No, this is a story of murder, of drama, sibling rivalry, and romance. It will take you all over Equestria and make you question who you know.
