It isn't what you do, Highness. Your return sparked hope in the populous that there would be a change in leadership; the earth ponies in particular felt they were underrepresented in the government. When things continued on the same as before, only with two princesses, many felt betrayed and attempted to split off from the rest of us. The battles that ensued in your name, though Your Highness had no part in them, caused a rift between you and your sister.

You didn't change again. You did, however, move to quell the uprisings, but your leaving the castle only made things worse. The two factions could now be more easily identified, each headed by one sister. Her Highness Celestia... she grew distant. Even the wielders of the Elements were divided. No one knew how to bring peace.

That is the land I was taken from.
