    Summary

    Exceptionalism is a lie. Free yourself from your Cutie Mark. Choose equality as your special talent. Difference is frustration. To excel is to fail. Be your best by never being your best. Conformity will set you free. Accept your limitations, and happiness will follow. You're no better than your friends.

    Starlight Glimmer is the Princess of Equality. She goes from a humble smalltown cultist to dictatorial monarch of cult "Our Town"--which grows into more of an empire than a town.
