Miscellaneous

• Cheiron's Academy in the Background
  • seen in 1.33 - Con Ares, Cheiron's Academy can be seen in the distance not too far away from Timor's Uncle's Farm - it is uncertain whether this is intentional or not - probably not, as Discord's head is quick to block the view. Also it is hard to tell from this viewpoint, but the lake shown in the background is probably The Pond.
