The beginning of the 18th century seems bright for the Swedish Empire, led by Charles XII. His foes defeated just a few years prior and an unstable peace looms. Parts of Norway, Latvia and Estonia as well as Pomerania now belongs to a new, powerful Sweden in the north.

However, the future is cast into uncertainty as great bouts of lightning fills the skies over Stockholm. Gods will or not, the Swedish Empire disappeared forever. This is the story of what happened when the great and mighty Empire of Sweden appeared in the world of Equestria.

AC: After many sleepless nights, I've finally decided to do this fic. This fic was inspired by "Liberté, égalité, fraternité." If you haven't read it, I strongly suggest that you do. It's a very good fic!
Also, there might be some historical inaccuracies, but I'm trying to make it as historically as possible. Some characters are created by me, but many of the ships, cities, armies and characters are historical.

Please, excuse any spelling mistakes or strange grammar. English is not my first language, but I'm trying my best to make it presentable. I'm Swedish, as you probably could guess from this fic ;P

Far in the frozen north, a tunnel lies.
It holds no honor.
It holds no treasure.
It holds no kings.

It holds only death, and pain.

While the original tests were unsuccessful, on the 3rd of October we managed to create a sustainable wormhole for over an hour before it finally shut down due to a power failure. This means that if given some more research, we can send a man to the other side. Of course, we have no idea what waits on the other side. It could be a world without any sort of air. Quite frankly I have no idea what to expect.
