No love for Arabian horses?

Not stereotypical enough, so to say... Camels in cliche Arab garb, I think. With stereotypical onion tower architecture. That's it.

My aim was to create an interesting Fantasy Counterpart Culture crossing My Little Pony and pre-modern Arabia, not to just take The Theme Park Version of Medieval Arabia and change the taxonomy of its inhabitants.

But yes, flying carpets and the like would be featured (but sparingly).

I usually ride a part Arabian horse.

Very stubborn but she has never even almost thrown me off.
Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

So? Why not do something else for a change?

Well - you asked how a pony Arabia would look like. I answered based on available datatongue

I wasn't asking for that: I was was intending was to get some advice and ideas for World Building a Pony Arabia.

You know, from that G1 movie with the Smooze and those witches? The grundles helped out the ponies because the Smooze destroyed their homeland before and don't want the same to happen to the pony's home.

That is almost completely unrelated to the topic at hand.

[up] Wrong. It has absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

My biggest question is whether to base My Little Arabia on the Bedouins or the Abbassid Caliphate.

I'd personally make them Camels instead of Arabian Horses.

Are they still pony-proportioned?

As for the second question, yes.

For the first point, no.

That was just how I'd do it.

I personally wish there were more Fantasy Turks/Ottomans in fiction. If positioned in Equestria (the world, not the kingdom), their capital could be called Istanbull.

My first question still hasn't been answered.

I thought it was a question you want to figure out yourself, instead of asking for our opinions.

I say Caliphate. Cool stuff.

I've pretty much settled on religion. Basically, Luna is revered as a patroness of navigation (since stars are often used to find direction) and the (obviously lunar) calendar, while Celestia is seen more as a goddess of the harsh desert sun who is more feared than loved. My only problem is in figuring out how this occurs in the first place, and how this ties in with Luna becoming Nightmare Moon.

Those are some really good, imaginative ideas.

Unless Luna actually visited her worshippers before getting banished, I don't think it's necessary to have them notice that anything happened to her in the past thousand years.

Fixed.

Can you please elaborate? My problem is that Luna was bitter that nopony cared about neither her nor the night, yet My Little Arabs* focus their version of Equestria's hypothetical religion on her.
