===Early history===
The actual "early life" of Discord is unknown and given his nature, was probably abstract and chaotic. According to Accord, beings of his level of existence as the underlining principal of whatever they embody, meaning Discord is likely the very embodiment of chaos, at least in his dimension. It's unknown whether or not Discord created the [[Chaos dimension]], if the Chaos dimension created Discord, if they were created by an even greater being, or if they simply came into being someday, but whatever the case may be, Discord and the dimension are deeply connected.
Discord is known to be incredibly long-lived and also known to travel through time and space, notably either being alive during or traveling back to visit the [[Age of Dinosaurs]]. There, he befriended a gentle [[Butterdragon]] named [[Hubert]]. Discord also became well known in ancient [[Anugypt]], gaining the hatred of [[King Anubis]] and affection of [[Baast]] in his adventures there, whatever they entailed.<ref name = "FIM24">{{C|FIM|24}}</ref> At another point in his life, he appeared at [[Vorak's castle]] in the [[Infernal Lands]] during {{FIM|Tirek|Prince Tirek}}'s punishment.<ref name = "FIE2">{{C|FIE|2|"Tirek"}}</ref>
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.
However, Discord's plan failed to take into the account the magic that remained within the Tree, even without the elements. This magic successfully kept the Plunderseeds from sprouting their vines for thousands of moons, thus leaving Discord trapped in his petrified state much longer than he had anticipated.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Princess Twilight Sparkle}}</ref> Unlike most creatures placed under such a spell, Discord remained conscious of what was going on around him.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Keep Calm and Flutter On}}</ref> Eventually, Discord’s statue was placed in the [[Canterlot Sculpture Garden]].<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Return of Harmony}}</ref>
