Being an Earth Pony means being ready to carry burdens if needed. Limestone Pie knows this, and she realizes that sometimes carrying those burdens means starting over again.
Ah, First, welcome to the Vogonverse! Second, this is something that was explained a long time ago, so I don't mind explaining it now. Equestria as we know it, in the Vogonverse, was destroyed. Discord used his power to take the ponies into another world, and he found one that he believed would work. In that world he began to set things into motion that would ensure that the ponies would be accepted, and then he began introducing them into the public. I hope that helps!
im thinking some type of defence for the town would be prudent due to the mention of raiders
