“Well… given that the Princess had a number… indiscretions in her excercise of her royal authority, those a bit closer to her ear may be blamed…”
The other Griffin (red) says “We think Griffonhiem might be involved.”

The red one frowns
“You better hope that is all you think you are.”
The white one tries to speak, getting his words caught a few times before succeeding.
“Just… in the Katerintrue’s efforts to maintain favor with the populace, well, what is left of their favor… they may look at those closest to the Princess, and well… now surely they don’t believe in conspiracies or secret societies, not personally anyways, but they might entertain such notions if they think it shift the light away from themselves.”

The white one nods
"Yes. We hope the order in Hellquil will forgive the indiscretions of the past ruler, and will allow a place for us... You know we have a few like-minded individuals there in the Order."
The red one states
"They've already arrested Tannenbraun."

“Hellquil is the best bet. Otherwise you are taking your chances with the Katerintrue. The Argentumdammerung. The Inquisition…”

A colt asks the professor a question about how "recent changes in the local and global political situation" have affected the dynamic between centralized and localized power. His answer: it hasn't at all. The old Monarchy would have preferred to rule everything with an iron hoof from Canterlot. Various groups wanted to reduce the power of the princesses. So rather than conceding power on a national scale, they would concede power on the local level, or transfer more power to the local level, so that any opposition to the Monarchy would be disunited.
At the prodding of a different student, he answers a question about the Fascist Republican "Blackhooves" political party of New Mareland. He stops a moment to say "be careful of the sedition laws and police informants," but talks directly on the topic anyways. He says that the Blackhooves, by their very nature, are a centralizing ideology based on cultural identity. However, they were elected to office on the promise of an independent New Mareland Nationstate. They even called the War a "War of Independence." This provokes interrupting interjections from the students. He holds up his hooves in an expression of "just shut up and go with it." He states that they are in the strange situation of being a New Mareland Pony Nationalist ideology now ruling over a massive, multi-continent spanning multicultural, multiethnic empire. The result has been that the Blackhooves are now the most decentralist power in place since the Griffonian Revolution of 970.
Another student asks a question about what is going on in the Riverlands. The professor promises that like the Empire, they will go into that in vastly greater detail in future lectures

And with that, the lecture is over. There is a text book (of course) and a few other books assigned to read. There is a reading assignment before the next class.

Thus far, some pages from his political text book, and quite a few pages from his history text book
His remaining classes are Philosophy, Hippology, and Equestrian Mythology
we can try to proceed to the next class, or put Solar Night in a situation where he is between classes. Ultimately, he needs to meet up with Silver and Blue Skies

Solar Night's next class is Philosophy 101. This is in the Liberal Arts college.
On the way there, he encounters two creatures he knows: Mars Loaf, and beside her, Nadir, who runs up towards Solar Night.
"Hi again, Solar!" she says

Mars Loaf makes eye contact with Solar, with no particular expression.
Nadir comes closer and answers
"We just got out of Literature together. It's still a little hard, but it's better than I was hoping. The professor said that the class will focus on the voices of those often silenced, and those who are marginalized by society. Like one book is about a mare shunned for infidelity, and another is a story about a mine worker in a strike. Still kind of boring, but he way she explains it makes it seem better to me."

He Smiles

"Uh, well... I haven't read the book yet, but the professor said that it was about the terrible situation of the coal miners in the foal mountains, about how terribly they were treated by the mining companies, and how the mining companies would break strikes with violence. And this all happened in view of Canterlot, which the miner wished he could be a part of but couldn't... Uh, there's more to it than that, like sex and crime and stuff, but we'll get to that book later in the semester."

"Typical Capitalists, Busting up a strike to Force the workers Into a job that doesn't pay them a living wage. it makes me sick. they Care nothing about the well-being of the workers."

She closes her mouth, and her ears go down.
"Oh... I mean had heard some things about it... My mother had sort of, well she's not really sympathetic, but... I guess that's why I'm here. To learn more about these things."

"Thank you.. um... we should go to class now, right?"

"Oh yeah" She says.
The next class takes place in a lecture hall like the one used for the history class. In fact, it's immediately down the hall from that classroom. Solar Night shares this class with both Lunar Nadir and Mars Loaf. Nadir seems to want to sit next to both ponies in this class. The professor, a slightly fatter, middle aged light yellow unicorn in a blue dress, is already at the stand, talking to a female student.

Nadir is trying to make it happen. It looks like Mars Loaf is a bit indifferent, and prefers a seat nearer the back. Eventually, three empty seats are found near the center.

It's a stallion I can't believe I forgot that detail. He looks over to Solar, and says "Hello"
