The Hippogriff culture is said to be among the oldest in the {{FIM|Earth|world}}, though much of their early history remains unclear.<ref name = "Source">''[[Tails of Equestria: The Official Movie Sourcebook]]''</ref> Their first known king was [[Vetera]], who the [[Vetera Tower]] was built after<ref name = "Source"/> and they seemed to have developed their [[Hippogriff writing|own]] [[writing system]], which curiously had glyph's resembling both {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} and {{FIM|Rainbow Dash}}'s cutie marks.<ref name = "MOVIE2017">''[[My Little Pony: The Movie (2017 film)|My Little Pony: The Movie]]''</ref> Sometime later in their history, they mediated the conflict between the [[Griffon]] and {{FIM|Pegasus|Pegasi}} who had begun a conflict known as the [[Zephyr War]] and caused the two sides to not only unite, but found [[Eastern Equestrian Kingdom|a kingdom in the east]] of [[Equestria]].<ref name = "Source"/>
 
Their kingdom was utterly conquered by the {{FIM|[[Storm King}}]] in the [[Era of Twilight]],<ref name = "MOVIE2017"/>, who had reduced their [[Hippogriff Village (ruins)|former capital]] to a "[[abandoned settlement|ghost town]]".<ref name = "Surf">{{CAR|FIM|Surf and/or Turf}}</ref> During this period, Hippogriffs used the [[Orb of Transformation]] to turn into {{FIM|Seaponies}} in order to escape the wrath of the Storm King and founded the city of [[Seaquestria]], which served as the new capital of the realm.<ref name = "MOVIE2017"/>
 
During the war, {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} and the [[Mane Six]] plus {{FIM|Spike}} traveled to [[Mount Aris]] in order to gain the aid of {{FIM|Queen Novo}} but to their dismay, they found the kingdom in [[ruin]]s. They managed to enter Seaquestria through the [[Lotus Fountain]] and nearly gained their help in the war, until {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} messed it up by stealing the Orb of Transformation. However, the Hippogriffs still came through for [[Equestria]] in the end, primarily lead by Novo's daughter, [[Princess Skystar]]<ref name = "MOVIE2017"/>
Line 30:
After the war, the [[Hippogriff Village]] was rebuilt and several Hippogriffs went to live on land, while many stayed underwater. Despite this, the two sides seemed friendly enough. The above side Hippogriffs developed a new holiday called "[[Glad to Be a Hippogriff Festival]]".<ref name = "Surf"/>
 
Around this time, Hippogriff relations with Equestria began to develop once again too. {{IDW|[[Queen Novo}}]] attended the [[Convocation of the Creatures (event)|Convocation of the Creatures]] at [[Mount Metazoa]] with other monarchs<ref name = "FIM61">{{C|FIM|61}} - ''[[Convocation of the Creatures]]''</ref> and allowed for {{FIM|Silverstream}} to attend the [[School of Friendship]].<ref name = "SD">"[[School Daze]]"</ref>
 
==Culture==
The Hippogriff culture was very proud, but also very friendly. Hospitality was among their highest concerns for newcomers and foreigners and gladly allowed creatures of other species to partake in their festivals and events. They simply loved life and enjoyed living it in every way they could. That said, during the Storm War, they were understandably quite paranoid of outsiders and initially believed the [[Mane Six]] to be invaders and thus treated them with hostility until they realized they were not evil at all.
 
It is fairly common for Hippogriff names to evoke water and/or air, though there are exceptions.
