At some point, Discord created a magical library that, among other works, contained his magical diary and autobiography [[Dea]] and [[Bea]]. Having become aware of {{FIM|Starswirl the Bearded}}'s insatiable curiosity, he cast a spell on the library so that it would disappear for a hundred years at a time.<ref>''[[Judge Not By the Cover]]''</ref> Discord's villainous career began in earnest when he established himself as a tyrant over the land of [[Equestria]]. This seems to have occurred some time after the [[Pillars of Old Equestria]] trapped themselves and the [[Pony of Shadows]] in [[limbo]] and planted the [[Equestrian Tree of Harmony]]. |

The [[Knights of Harmony]] visited Equestria during Discord's reign, and Discord eagerly attempted to sow division among them. When this failed, Discord vanished, making his way to the lands of [[Abyssinia]], [[Caninia]], and [[Farasi]]. Under his influence, the inhabitants of those lands-recipients of their own Trees and Elements of Harmony from the Knights' homeland of [[Cunabula]]-turned against their benefactors. The Knights successfully thwarted the invasion of their homeland that Discord inspired, but took no further action against Discord himself.<ref>{{C|FIM|102}}</ref> |

Discord proved a considerable menace, daunting even the formidable [[Alicorn]] sisters {{FIM|Princess Celestia}} and {{FIM|Princess Luna}}, who had stepped up as defenders of the land. Apparently unable to defeat him even with their considerable magic, the sisters retrieved the [[Elements of Harmony]] from the Tree and went to confront Discord. Utterly unimpressed, Discord simply laughed, even as the sisters used the power of the Elements to cast a [[Stone Sleep]] spell upon him. Unbeknownst to the sisters, Discord had prepared his own contingency plan, scattering [[Plunderseed]]s that were intended to grow and drain the Tree of Harmony and capture the sisters. |
