Since
"…and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since."
I know the usages of since like "since SV(conjunction)" or "since + the point of time(preposition)" and the red colored since seems to be an adverb and this is the first time I've met this kind of usage of since. Is my speculation that the since is an adverb right? Thanks in advance!

PonyFan Is my speculation that the since is an adverb right? Yes. It's like "since + point in time", but with the point in time implicit because it is mentioned in the preceding text.
