ManaMinori 4,146 December 14, 2015 Share December 14, 2015 (edited) Is the "fire of friendship" the actual magic that resides within the Tree of Harmony's element of friendship? It was shown to be pretty significant to not only driving off the Wendigos, but also to uniting the three tribes, in order for them to establish Equestria. Is that magic that Clover made on that day actually what powers the element of Friendship? My own theory is: The 6 ponies who founded Equestria could've very well planted a tree to commemorate their friendship, in the area that later became known as the Everfree Forest. That tree could've become the Tree of Harmony. And the 3 Tribe leaders and their 3 subordinates could've been the first gen element bearers! Clover the Clever could've physically crafted the elements and embued each one with the magic her friends represented, along with her own- the element of friendship, fueled by the magical fire of friendship. And each of the 6 could've given their elements to the tree of harmony they planted, to allow future generations to discover friendship as they did, and protect their newly founded Equestria from future threats, like Wendigos. Does anyone have their own thoughts on the Fire of Friendship and its relation to the element of friendship (or magic)? Could the 6 ponies who founded Equestria in the Hearthswarming Eve reenactment have been the original element bearers? Could te tree of harmony have actually been planted by them?

Unlikeable Pony 2,700 December 14, 2015 Share December 14, 2015 Personally I think that the tree of harmony predates the six ponies entering equestria.First, the everfree forest; the tree of harmony seems to be a lock of some sort protecting the rest of equestria from whatever it is that is causing the everfree forest. So the idea of the six ponies from hearth's warming eve creating the tree leaves out the step of there being something to cause the everfree. Rather I think the tree was created by either the alicorns or an entity beyond the alicorns, and that alicorns were its original caretakers in the past. (Prior to whatever caused them to go extinct as a species) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASGARDIANBRONY 128 December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 the tree of harmony is like Yggdrasil the world tree. A wizard is never late, nor is he early. he arrives precisely when he means to. quote from starswirl the bearded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gestum 2,493 December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 the tree of harmony is like Yggdrasil the world tree. No. The tree of harmony doesn't really have anything with Yggdrasil (both are trees, but that's about it). My theory is that the tree was created by what ever deity that exists in that world.

My theory is that the tree was created by what ever deity that exists in that world. my theory is that the tree is almost EXACTLY like yggdrasil. my theory is that the tree is connected to all life in equestria and is simultaneously in every alternate universe in the mlp multiverse. the tree of harmony is not inherently good but instead reflects the balance of power in the multiverse, this means that since there is peace and harmony right now the tree is full of good magic and helps the mane 6, but if the balance was shifted and evil and chaos outweighed goodness and friendship, the tree would turn into a tree of disharmony or more simply put chaos. nif this theory is true then the tree of harmony is connected to all alternate realities, just like yggdrasil is connected to the nine realms.

cmarston1 5,960 December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 Well it would be interesting to get some more information about the tree of harmony, I don't think a tree and fire are related to each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarcup 198 December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 (edited) What I heard Lauren had actually made up a character named harmony, Discords sister. But she died and then became the tree. That is how discord knew where the tree was. He wanted to stop harmony since the tree risen from her grave would stop him (eventually). But that backstory got removed Edited December 15, 2015 by Sugarcup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASGARDIANBRONY 128 December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 the tree of harmony is magic itself! the tree reflects the multiverse around it. in my studies I have stumbled upon disturbing knowledge not for the faint of heart! as of the events of the season 5 finale there are more chaotic universes than harmonic. because the tree exists simultaneously in all these universes at the same time,it is thusly effected by all of them as well. this means that the tree is in great danger of either becoming a tree of disharmony or being destroyed!

The mlp comics, in "Reflections", sunbutt outright says that at least one of the AU's dont have the elements of harmony, meaning the tree doesn't exist there, becasue the mane 6 had to bring the elements from their own world. We don't hear of t th e tree existing in Equestria Girls either.

The same Equestria we were shown frm the start. Just a different future due to changed evnts of the past. There were no alt. Universes in the finale. So we only see one tree/ map existing in only ONE universe, with changed futures.

So we only see one tree/ map existing in only ONE universe, with changed futures. actually alternate universes were created in the finale, let me explain. AHEM. each time someone travels back in time to stop something a paradox is made, for if the thing you went back in time to stop never happened in the first place you never would have went back in time, that is the paradox. in order for the multiverse to repair itself a separate universe is created where the events you went back in time to stop are left unchecked, this law of time traveling has been used in marvel comics and other media for quite awhile. according to this theory, each time twilight stopped one of those futures from coming to pass a new universe was created where the villain was left unchallenged. SCIENCE! A wizard is never late, nor is he early. he arrives precisely when he means to. quote from starswirl the bearded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
