P.S. I love your art so much!

Thanks for enjoying my work, and good question!

For the most popular MLP species, their 'alicorn' forms are:

Dragons: Gain a second pair of wings, horns grow larger

Kirin: Gain wings of fire, horn becomes larger and grows branches

Changelings: Gain an extra pair of limbs and eyes (more arachnid than insectoid)

Yaks/Cows: Grow an additional set of horns and sprout small wings

Breezies: Gain extra pair of wings and antennae

Diamond Dogs: Teeth become tusks, arms/hands become wing-like

Cats: Grows two additional tails, all are three times the length of a normal tail

Griffon: Gain second pair of wings, feathers have metallic/gem-like sheen

No problem at all, and this is a great question!

I'll try to outline the major alliances below, but forgive me if I forget any of them lol:

Qilin and Dragons: Ancestral alliance

Qilin and Deer: Cultural alliance based on nature and pacifism

Pegasi and Griffons: Martial alliance against the Dragons

Earth Ponies, Donkeys, Cows, and Buffalo: Cultural & trade alliance

The Crystal Empire and Yaks: Martial alliance against the Umbrum

Zebras, Abada, and Giraffes: Cultural & trade alliance

Cat-sith (Abyssinians) and Unicorns: Cultural alliance based on magic

Cat-sith and Breezies: Ancestral alliance based on fae heritage

For context, here are some species with long-term blood between them:

Pegasi v. Dragons

Griffons v. Dragons

Crystal Empire v. Umbrum

Changelings v. Ponies

Dragons v. Ponies

Dark magic is pretty universally considered 'evil' in Exileverse aside from Abyssinia and the Dragon Lands, where magic carries no morality.

Just a small question, in exileverse, how do creatures handle seeing chaos magic compared to 'dark' magic? Can't be a good reaction but considering pinkie & shining armor, I just had to ask!

Definitely! Exileverse is sort of like if the Knights Moralis ran...literally everything LOL

Chaos magic is much less understood and generally unknown to the public--it's a 'forgotten' magic that very, very few encounter in their lifetimes. To make a DND allegory (as I love to do), it's 'eldritch' rather than 'infernal' or 'necromantic'.

Not at all; Celestia thinks she was rescuing her sister from her 'cruel and unfeeling mother', and still maintains that mindset to this day. Luna was very young when she was taken from her mother, so she's not resentful, per se, just...quietly sad? Wishing she could better remember her circumstances so she could better form an opinion as to whether their mother really was as bad as Celestia says.
