The Pie family have remained rock farmers, even through war and death. The Party Pack has been passed down, not as an ancient relic, but as a family heirloom. It's a small thing, but it brings joy in these dark times.

The Pie family is willing to give it away, but only if they receive something "of equal value". Of course, they refuse to elaborate on what that means!

Cue hilariously failed attempts, bad meals with the family, and eventual frustration of the whole group.

It's the pony who can find laughter even then that succeeds the 'test'. Maybe they start up a song or something that eventually takes over the whole farm! Something that brings levity, light and rest to a dreary place. And with that energy, the party pack becomes as vibrant as the day it was made and chooses its' wielder!

Laughter is about taking life with a grain of sugar! Love the simple joys in life, celebrate your victories, make a joke! Laughter is powerful, for even in the darkest of times it can always be found.

Exorcists are Warriors of God, but is it God they're serving? What does it mean to worship when your faith is forged into a blade for another to use? Are you God's? Or is someone else holding the strap of your sword?

As discussed, her shield is guarded by Discord. Might seem silly to only have 1 person guarding it, but that's only if you don't know who Discord is. You need to prove your capacity for kindness and emotional intelligence.

To enter Rainbow Dash's test, you have to have people you consider friends by your side. Then there's a timed trial, where they have to get to the case where the dagger is held, or lose it forever. When someone does get to the end, something will happen to their friends. That someone will have to choose between the dagger and their friends.

If they do take the dagger (which is fake), they lose and something terrible happens to the pony who took it. If they go save their friends, all of them are saved and the real dagger is revealed to them. You need to prove your loyalty, and that you're not power hungry.

Rarity's test first seems that of a beauty pageant. Probably has something to do with mirrors, gems and gold. But, underneath it, the one who gives up what they want most for others is the one bestowed Rarity's helm. You need to prove selflessness and generosity.

Probably occurs where the apple farm used to be, and may be guarded by the descendents of the apple family. A "No one will know if you do the wrong thing, are you still willing to do the right one regardless?" test. Might be set up by the family? You need to prove honesty, but also integrity.

I have no fucking idea TBH

Twilight's element isn't hard to find. She's hidden where her old library used to be. It takes a bit of cleverness to find the right switch, but you can do so easily. The real issue is that she won't wake up. All the powers and magic she gives you will not activate until she does so. And the only way to wake her is to find the other elements of harmony and bring them all together. Even then, you won't gain full access to what she can do right away. You need to prove, time and time again, that you're worthy of the element of friendship.

Prove your magical skill, and your ability to connect with others.

Discords grief tore mountains into castles into worms. It was destruction and chaos and sorrow. But he shielded it from Equestria. He went far away, far enough where it could not damage the memory of his friend, nor the ponies she died to protect. When he finally returned, he settled in a grove where Fluttershy's house had been, clutching her shield in his arms.

To retrieve the Shield of Kindness, the trial is simple. You must convince its guardian to part with it. You cannot force it from him, for he is far more powerful than any pony alive. No, you must show kindness to a creature that's said to be incomprehensible.

Starlight Glimmer lost her mentor, her friends, her second chance when twilight was killed. She couldn't let go of it. What if she had just tried a little more, done something different, just stood a little to the left....?

She's traveled far and wide, looking for an answer. Through her cleverness, she is the lone survivor who remembers the mane 6, and has gathered much wisdom throughout the centuries. A valuable ally, but with desperation and dangerous ambition in her heart.

Crystal ponies are wary, and they have reason to be. Equestria was the main target of the invaders, but that was only because the Crystal Empire was more difficult to get to. Despite being smaller in size, it is dense with resources. It doesn't help that there's rumors of the sword Sombra made popping up...

Flurry Heart may not be a child, but she has hardly had time to let herself grow up. She's forced herself into the role of queen, though she is far from ready for it. Yet, if she doesn't, who else can? She's the last Alicorn Princess... She has to do something!

The return of a mysterious foe, calling themselves Nightmare Moon, brings fear to equestria. The blade of the moon is missing as well. This newest band of six must embark on a quest to find the elements, and find a way to save the newest victim of the Nightmare's Harvest...
