    Many pony texts discuss fundamental aspects of the Equestrian world and their system of beliefs. None are believed more crucial in gaining a general understanding than what is referred to collectively as 'The Equestrian Book of Truth'. This work comprises a series of texts, each being written by succeeding rulers of Equestria and concerning a broad range of topics including their understandings of how the fundamental principals governing their society interrelate. These are successively handed down, ruler to ruler in order to help guide their rule and serve as a foundation for Equine society in general. Taken by itself, this codex is considered crucial in establishing the current ruler's true mindset and ethical disposition.
