Author's Notes
This chapter is set aside instead of being in an author's notes section or comments because it will help keep travel smooth through the story. Feel free to check this chapter at any time to see what locations have been unlocked, which ones haven't been visited yet, and so on. Also, feel free to check back in locations that have already been visited. If there are no new puzzles there, I will mention it in the comments and ask for a second destination.

Also feel free to suggest other locations. The ones listed are the ones I currently have puzzles (or other plot-related plans) for, but I am planning new puzzles all the time, and will happily apply them to other destinations.

Key:
- Visited locations are marked in bold.
- Current destination (determined by last person to solve a puzzle) is italicised.
- Unavailable locations are struck out

Mysteries
Ponyville's Puzzle Plague: Something has Ponyville's ponies plagued with pernicious puzzles! I suspect some kind of spell has been cast on the whole town. As soon as I get the girls together, we're going to go looking for the culprit!
The Earth Pony's Spellbook: Davenport, the owner of Sofas and Quills, found a strange book that teaches Earth Ponies how to use Unicorn magic! I've never heard of this book before, and the author, one "Duplicitous S. Cored" is a mystery to me as well. [SOLVED] Clearly, Duplicitous S. Cored is a pen name for none other than Discord! How involved he is in this plague of puzzles is still a mystery, however.
Princess Celestia's Letter: Spike accidentally sneezed all over the reply I got from Princess Celestia. I don't blame him, but now we have to recover all of the missing pieces of her letter!
[SOLVED] Aha! Those splotches of sealing wax covering parts of the letter marked a hidden message from Princess Celestia suggesting further investigation in the Everfree Forest! (Everfree Forest locations unlocked!)
