Blacktip was chosen to serve as archivist of the Dragons during the [[Convocation of the Creatures]], during which he met and befriended fellow archivists [[Horwitz]], [[Urtica]], [[Glenda]], and [[Raven Inkwell]], as well as {{IDWFIM|Twilight Sparkle}}. He attempted to impress the [[Princess]] with his skills, only to learn that she was a friend of [[Dragon Lord]] {{IDWFIM|Ember}} and another Dragon, {{IDWFIM|Spike}}. He subsequently toured the convocation with his newfound friends, including a display by a fire-breathing dragon artist.
After an ancient treaty was discovered that seemed to give [[Griffonstone]] the rights to much of {{IDW|[[Equestria}}]], including {{IDW|[[Canterlot}}]], the archivists attempted to find a means to prevent the {{FIM|Ponies}}' loss of their lands. Blacktip was initially indifferent, until Raven pointed out that Equestria was the source of 90% of the gems imported by the Dragon Lands and he quickly joined in. After discovering a second treaty that secured Equestria's future, Blacktip helped his fellows keep it out of the claws of the scheming [[Griffon Lord]] [[Goldstone]].
