King Sombra's origins are a mystery, with all that is known being that he seized control of the Crystal Empire some time before the [[fateful day]]. {{FIM|Princess Celestia}} and {{FIM|Princess Luna}} moved to oppose him, and transformed Sombra into shadow before casting him into the depths of the [[Frozen North]]. For unknown reasons, the Empire disappeared around the same time, and would not be seen again for roughly 1000 years.

After [[Princess Cadance]] and [[Shining Armor|Prince Shining Armor]] became the new monarchs of the returned Empire, Sombra once again returned to wreak havoc on his peoples. This time, by engulfing them in the smoke of his presence, though each time he was repelled by Cadance's magic. The legacy of Sombra's rule, even when he was kept at bay, was a very noticeable one, as his former subjects were weary, haggard and dreary and only grew worse when reminded of Sombra and his reign. Eventually, Cadance ran out of magic to hold off his power and soon Sombra nearly took back his city. Through the unlikely team-up, Spike and Cadance were able to retrieve the Crystal Heart and destroy Sombra, restoring their land.
