How deep does the rabbit hole really go?

[ManaMinori 4,145]

There are many mysteries, secrets, cover-ups, and ethically/ morally sensitive spells within Equestria. We have the secretive organization of S.M.I.L.E (Secret Monster Intelligence League of Equestria), and its unofficial faction F.R.O.W.N (Friendship Ranger Organization of Worldwide Neighgotiations). There’s the forced reformations spells that Twilight was desperately searching for in order to reform Discord, in “Keep Calm and Flutter On”, memory-erasing spells (stated in “Lyra and Bon Bon and the Mares from S.M.I.L.E.”), there’s also the secret organization that Daring Do is attempting to be initiated into, the Magical Council of the Ancients, whose founder is a pony called “Comet Tail the Starry-eyed”, who is behind many of Equestria’s legends and mysteries.

In a book, Daring Do is attempting to pass an initiation test to have a seat on the Council as well, which requires getting her hooves on 22 rare artifacts that have also been seen in the series itself. With so much interconnecting plots and mysteries across canons, one is left to wonder just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Are we being misled that Starswirl is the biggest thing that FiM has to offer, or is the MCA’s or S.M.I.L.E’s objective to be brought to light, eventually?

I attempted going down that rabbit hole and that's plus 4 hours I'm never getting back.

I also wouldn't get my hopes up on further stories about secret organizations. They're not particularly fond of publicity.

Don't forget that they said Tirek was a cover-up. If you think of the 4th season finale as Celestia and discord trying to get twilight the key to the box... then it makes more sense. Just sayin.

Most of these have nothing to do with the show itself, they are just obscure side material. I doubt any of it will have a major role.

That's all incredibly classified.

Maybe sometime we'll have an episode where Pinkie offers somepony a choice between a red cupcake and a blue cupcake...

my point exactly. And what if the same organization that is under command from Celestia is secretly investigating her, also?

What if Celestia let Tirek escape. And then she reformed Discord to really push Twilight to the etch to defeat Tirek and get the key/castle.
