Exploring beyond the reach of Equestria has been sparse, and conditions beyond our borders are dangerous. The College has, for the moment, decided to concentrate its efforts on improving conditions within Equestria. I know this is an unsatisfactory answer. A promising young mind like yours shouldn’t be told your questions don’t have good answers. If you’re unhappy with my decision, I’ve enclosed train vouchers. Feel free to use them to visit me in Ponyville if you discover anything of interest.
