Progression, Huzzah!
Well my guess is on the Griffin because of one part of what echo heard.
Oh wow, did Equestrian culture take a turn for the Orwellian there...
In fact the whole chapter paints a rather nasty picture, with the princesses or at least Celestia possibly at the center of it. I'm still hoping for some kind of upper class conspiracy that keeps them in the dark, if only to maintain my optimism.

To be fair, they seemed genuinely confused at the world state,claiming that surely their father wouldn't make a magic that'd hurt ponies. They mean any life, but that just makes them right and wrong at the same time. He'd not hurt PONIES, but he's pretty much been proven a speciest prick. It's nice they view their father with such high esteem, however misplaced. And Tia gets a quarter of a pass for blatant murder. Pretty much everyone can understand her mental and emotional state was fragile after banishing Luna and we don't know her side fully,but she did walk in to her guards dead by a diplomatic party, as an alicorn she's probably instinct driven to a point as well and wished to protect her precious ponies, and she did let the other changelings go. Still, it was murder, she didn't listen to his explanation, and she pretty much broke her own ideals that she'd been working Equestria towards. Evidence almost completely points towards somepony sweeping things under the rug before it reaches them.
Nice chapters. Can't wait for some of the fog clouding the Princesses to be removed so we can finally get a clear picture of what's been going on. By this point, it's pretty obvious that the Princesses aren't evil, selfish dictators just putting on a front for the public, but the chaos in the lands outside Equestria seems to have somehow escaped their notice. It's as Echo said, none of this paints a cohesive picture. I'm betting there's someone(Perhaps Faust or Discord) manipulating events from behind the scenes, and it's them that's been suppressing information from the princesses or outright lying to them.
Can't wait for the next chapter.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for, but it wouldn't be the first fic to pull a fast one at zero hour.
In any case, I realized that the instinct suppression potion talked about here is probably another reason for the Equestrian population problems. A lot of instinctual behavior is hormone driven...and fertility is almost entirely hormone driven. In addition, pregnancy, at least on earth, has a lot of hormonal components. So if the entire population is guzzling something designed to suppress instincts, which probably includes hormones, no wonder things have gotten so bad. And the potion could be a reason for the gender imbalance to boot.
I know that there's supposed to be a magical component to Equus conceptions, but this certainly can't be helping.
I want to believe that the Princesses are innocent, yet ignorant of the world's plight. I want to believe that everything from day one when the world was set to die, a secretive cabal of nobles had successfully ingrained themselves into the alicorn governance, and only now as a rogue alicorn that entered the scene, everything they had set is being undone.
I want to believe that, but Chrysalis did say a common quote even among our kind, the stories are written by the winners. Maybe they were unaware of the destruction they are creating but it's possible that everything happening that isn't environmental, is actually of their own design. It even brings to question if the loyalty of thestrals are also a product of Luna's machinations back then.
Isn't that just convenient? In a country that ostracized another pony tribe, to the point that it makes them a joke on second class citizens. It's only then that they can be something more when the "concerned" princesses work to integrate them into society, where the most sought after, yet limited occupation, is the personal guard of the night princess. Why only now? Ah, that's right-
Not four, and it seemed that even the crystal ponies are also left out as a separate group, truly, no love outside for the foreign and the exotic. And now Ari will set sail, to a country of unapologetic closet racists, and their princesses, who're planning to woo and rut him for heirs... shit.
Interesting. At least there's some progress.
I still dunno if the princesses are innocent or not... Luna might be, she's been gone for very long. Celestia... I dunno. It might be that she's being deceived by some other ponies, and has been for centuries, but that seems unlikely.
Talons on the roof... Hmm...
Ari, for love of every kind on Equis. DO NOT runt the Princesses.

The greatest harm we do to one another is not out of malice, but simple ignorance. Those pirates are smart enough to realize their success is utterly dependent on keeping the alicorns as ignorant as possible.

History isnt just written by the winners, history is the memory of what happend. For thoes who survived history is colored by their perception of events. Chryslis claims that the king was lured into a trap, but by the end she says that it was a misunderstanding. So she thinks that Celestia is some great evil because thats how she was told it went down. But for Celestia it was a failed attempt at diplomacy, a memory that would tarnish her legacy. Something that needed to be forgotten so that the perfect Alicorn's stenght and wisdom wouldent be questioned. Something that may seem evil by our standards, but when the safty of a nation rests on the image of its leader's strength it becomes a nessary evil.
Equestria treats its citizen's like children, raise them innocent of the world to protect them from the harsh realities of the world. This includes the realities of war. So to prevent war all the failures of the Princess are forgotten. The sad fact is, they dont know any better. The problem with raising your people as children is that they never grow. They dont handle tough situations and are reliant on others to protect them. This is way Equestria is doomed, they need someone to show them a better way. Thats why Ari was choosen. Equestia and the Princesses need a teacher, and Ari is the best one for the job.

The aft cabin has two doors on it, the left leading to the control room which is a hallway with one right turn that leads in the main control area. While on the right it is the captain's cabin, which does not reach the furthest point in the allotted space as the control room cuts it off.
I hope that paints a clearer image.

You are putting real world logic to a fictional world. From the few episodes I’ve seen of MLP, the moon rises in 5 seconds and stays in its spot until they lower it. That would cause weird climate somewhere. Perhaps not to the extreme as in the story, but again, it’s a fictional reality.
I don’t know anything about evolution and I won’t pretend to.
As stated in the first chapter, it’s to save the Alicorn race. There are only 3 Alicorns left in existence and they’re all mares. For an Alicorn mare to enter estrus or conceive, a stallion needs a massive magical core, larger than any normal Pony, Pegasus or Unicorn can muster.
The god is tellin Ari to save the Alicorn race and put a stop to the sisters messing with the sun and moon, not to overthrow them. Ari’s plan, if the sisters don’t listen to his words, is to take them away from Canterlot and show them the chaos they are causing by messing with the celestial bodies. After/if they see the problems they are causing, he plans to take them back, not keep them away from the throne (unless they’re being stubborn with what’s going on).

Could be that council Celestia has? They could be "misplacing" documents of or from the foreign diplomats while Celestia handles Equestrian affairs.
Decent story. Plot is strong, as is characterization and story progression, but the story itself is rife with spelling, grammar, and syntax errors, as well as missing words. Example: "so" only has one "o"; if you want to put extra emphasis on a word, don't add unnecessary letters to "stretch" it, put it in italics. You have a story with the potential to be something truly great, but it's unpolished, and raw. I would recommend on either studying how to properly edit your own work for the weaknesses I mentioned, or get help from another writer that's proficient and willing to help or edit for you.
You alright buddy? A week without an update is... different for you.

I'm better. I had a minor block but I got over it, I also learned that my arc planning needs more details. For the upcoming chapter the me from four months ago just wrote two sentences...
I have one ready but I'm aiming for a double again. If everypony prefers singles I will post it tonight though.
8775512
Whats the difference between double and singles?
8775806
Doubles just means more for you to read between wait times, two chapters in one day. I have one 7,000 word chapter ready but the second one is only half done.
8775834
Ah ok, thanks.

It’s your call, if you think the story would flow better with two chapters, then keep it at that. I was just worried that another author would give up in the middle of a good story. Maybe a week was a bit short to jump the gun on that but you’re one of four stories I’m following and the other three don’t update NEARLY as often... so you’re pretty much the center of my attention when I check FimFiction.

Ah, well I will save it for tomorrow night then. My night, so it could be your day. The flow does go better I find when I can cross edit between two chapters. Hopefully my future chapters won't be as sporadic as this, my draft notes are much more detailed around the princess part.
Thank you for the patience.
