Line 6:
The origins of the Kirin are a mystery, but they are known to have resided among the Peaks of Peril as far back as the time of [[Rockhoof]]. The Kirin were "known for their kindness and truth-speaking"<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Sounds of Silence}}</ref>, but outside groups were unaware that they were the same beings as the Niriks also known to inhabit the region. Perhaps due to their isolation, the Kirin were largely forgotten by or unknown to the denizens of [[Equestria]], with only an ancient shield with their legend inscribed on it reflecting their existence.
 
At some point, the village in [[Kirin Grove]]village was destroyed when a quarrel between two Kirin escalated to include the entire village, who all became Nirik. After their anger had subsided, their leader [[Rain Shine]] decided that words and the emotions they provoked were a danger, and led her people in entering the nearby [[Stream of Silence]]. This magical body of water took the power of speech from the Kirin, as well as leaving them with few if any emotions. However, the Kirin [[Autumn Blaze]] eventually became frustrated with the inability to express herself, and discovered that she could create an antidote using [[foal's-breath flowers]]. The other Kirin were quickly frustrated by her incessant vocalizations, and Rain Shine ordered her to either enter the stream again or leave the rebuilt village.
 
Choosing the latter, Autumn Blaze spent some time in isolation before {{FIM|Applejack}} and {{FIM|Fluttershy}} arrived in the area on a mission from the [[Cutie Map]]. After speaking with Autumn, Applejack became convinced that they should help all the Kirin speak again, but Fluttershy opposed this. Their argument nearly prompted the others to immerse them in the Stream of Silence, until Autumn used her Nirik form to stop them. Her realization that feelings were not of themselves evil, but simply had to be handled correctly, moved the other Kirin to repent of their vow of silence. After Applejack and Fluttershy located more of the flowers needed for the cure, the Kirin regained their power of speech.

All known Kirin live in the [[Kirin Grove]],village surrounded by the [[Peaks of Peril]] near [[Arimaspi Territory]]. There might be another colony of Kirin in [[Kirin Grove]], located near [[Lost Lagoon]] south of [[Dragons Lair]] on [[Dragon-Kirin island]].
