Daring Do and The Obsidian Feather

You know from experience that local ponies often know more about what you're seeking than they think they do. You decide to ask around in town and see if anypony knows about the map, or the Feather itself. You slip into your A.K Yearling disguise, fabricate a cover story of looking for new inspiration and head out towards the town.

When you get there, there's two places you know where you might find the information you need. One is a tavern, where all the travellers passing through town stop for a drink. You've heard a lot of good stories from them that have started a lot of adventures. Another is the market, where merchants gather to sell exotics wares. You've found many an antique or quest starter among them, and they are an equally good option.
