There were a lot of griffins and ponies on the third level—too many, actually. Gilda guessed that their presence was most likely because of the visitors staying here. The Kingdom rarely got visits from foreigners, with Equestria being the only one to visit every year celebrating The Armistice (with either a dignitary, be it a Duchess or Duke, or a member of the Royal Family, either the three Alicorn Princesses or the two unicorn Princes). The Zebra Nations were far too busy to deal amongst themselves and the griffins never really got along with the Diamond Dogs, a relationship that deteriorated further with the latter’s raids in Equestria. Add the fact that these visitors were also a newly discovered species, it was understandable why the third level looked as busy as it did.
