History
Ruling Dark Age Equestria
Creation
The Bewitching Bell was created by Grogar, the father of monsters, during the primeval years of Equestria. He used it to rule Equestria with an iron hoof, stealing the magic from any pony that went against him. and using their magic to make himself stronger.
Locked Away Forever
At the peak of Grogar's reign, his bell was stolen by a young Unicorn who was called Gusty the Great. She used the Bewitching bell to steal off of Grogar's magic and exile him out of Pre-Equestria.
Because the Bell cannot be destroyed, Gusty the Great hid the Bell in a cave in the highest mountain in Equestria, Mount Everhoof. In order to prevent others from getting the Bell, a magical shield and powerful winds were created, preventing any creature from reaching it.

Ridding the High Powers
Despite the magical preventions put in place by Gusty, The Bewitching Bell was eventually stolen by a group of villains. The Pegasis Cozy Glow, the Etherian Centaur Lord Tirek, and the Changeling Queen Chrysalis. They used the Bewitching Bell in order to take over Equestria, causing one of the biggest battles in Equestrian history. With the Bell, they were able to give themselves all of Grogar's magic and render Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Discord powerless by sealing their magic.
