-In My AU, about 900 years ago The Mushroom Imperiums Princess, “Princess Frost”(who hailed from the place called Ice Land in Super Mario Bros 3), initiated the “Heart Crusade”. She noticed the Turtle Tribe(What the Koopa troop was known as at the time) were expanding and absorbing various species into their empire whos capital was the Dark Lands. Frost, who had a deep and spiritual connection to Wish Power(The Same Power that Peach used to destroy the Dark Stone in M&LDT) saw the Turtle Tribe as a threat to Wish Powers existance, as they were known for their of use of the dark items known as Ztars (From Mario Party). Frost also feared The Mushroom Imperium was next on the menu for the Turtle Tribes conquest, which was actually true. Princess Frost declared a Crusade and Was joined by the kingdoms two biggest allies, the Beanbean Kingdom, the Flower kingdom And Jewelry Land. Frost promised that the alliance could split up the Dark Lands territories if they were successful. King Bibinbak, the then reining leader of the Turtle Tribe smashed the Crusades and wiped them out. Bibinbak didn’t have numbers, but he did have more diverse minions, who were more used to cooperating and knew the Dark Lands like the back of their hand. The Heart Crusades were an unmitigated disaster as the alliance retreated. This incident would begin a perpetual conflict between the later Mushroom Kingdom and The Koopa Troop.
-the build up to the Pruning War was seeded by several things converging. First was growing resentment aginst Wish Power by certain members of the Imperium. After the Heart Crusade, the Imperium became more staunchly pro-Wish Power to a dogmatic degree. Some of the rulers unde the empire were disillusioned by Wish Power after seeing it loose to the Turtle Tribe.
-the Next thing that contributed to the Pruning War was the fact that the Toadstool dynasty had actively used the massive amounts of imperial wealth to decadently build up what would become the Mushroom Kingdom. The Toadstools at this time constantly built expensive castles and monuments, threw lavish parties, huge Chariot and horse Racing stadiums and bankrolled empire wide tournaments. Said tournaments incorporated sports like Tennis, Golf and Soccer (Loosely inspired by how Peach seems to host the various Mario spin offs like Karting and Sports and that “The Palace” stage From Mario Strikers is stated in thel North American Instruction manul to have been a Palace that peach’s ancestors lived in). The Toadstools also commissioned tons of art. The Toadstools became more interested in the wealth of the Empire than actually ruling it.
-The Last seed for the Pruning War was planted when by a freak accident of genetics, all three daughters of the Current Princess, “Princess Mira”, were born without the ability to wield Wish Power. After the Heart Crusade, A Princess having Wish Power went from a tradition to a requirement for being crowned. The Toadstools had actively married into families that had high potential for Wish Power to maintain their status. This meant that Princess Mira’s daughters would be seen as illegitimate if they took the throne. In the Mushroom Imperium there were three great Toadstools Dynasty Branches, The House Palmatus (Peach’s and Mira’s ancestors), House Cremini (Maple’s ancestors), and House Aaeruginosa. Cremini and Aeruginosa saw their chance at power and used what happened to House Palmatus to stage a coup and place their Princess, Princess Gansu on the throne. This sparked a massive succession crisis where several Princesses duked it out for legitimacy. This Pruning War lasted 44 years and the Various kingdoms (The Kings From SMB3) under the empire used the chaos of the Pruning War to secede.
-The Pruning War ended when Princess Fergana took the throne. She was a fierce warrior and commander who defeated the other Princesses in Battle and ensured the Palmatus bloodline stayed in power.
-640 years ago from the present the Mushroom Kingdoms Caste system was abolished. This caste was a hierarchy based off the color of a toads cap. At the top where red toads because they were the same color as the Super Mushroom, at the bottom where purple toads because they had the same color as poison mushrooms. In between based off the color spectrum were all the other color toads. Despite system being abolished, The scars still show themselves in the Mushroom Kingdom
