Duskverse: The School of Friendship Professors.
Some time after the war against Twilight, Silverstream was promoted to Headmistress of the School of Friendship, succeeding Starlight Glimmer. In her employ, are a new group of professors who currently teach at the institution.

They are as follows:

**Applebloom* - Applebloom is the current Honesty professor, succeeding her older sister, Applejack. She is actually one of the oldest instructors along with Smolder, having held her position since before the fall of Twilight. She carries her sister's doctrine of honesty and hard work with her at all times, and applies it quite often when teaching her students. While she does tend to get a bit lonely at the school since her closest friends, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo are no longer there with her, she has found mutual friendship and camaraderie amongst the new teachers, especially Smolder, who acts as somewhat of a close gal pal. She still wears the pink bow that she wore as a filly, albeit in a different style.*

**Smolder* - Smolder is the current Loyalty professor, succeeding Rainbow Dash before her. A former student and long time instructor along with Applebloom, she is the school's local disciplinarian and knows the facility like the back of her claws. The students find it difficult to hide from her, should they get in trouble. True to her nature, she still holds a tough exterior and has developed a "no-nonsense" attitude when dealing with her class. She has even gained a bit of a reputation for her rather stoic approach to teaching, and no one under her instruction would dare even cough when she's around. Despite this however, she can be very understanding and even motherly at times towards students who are having trouble with lessons or who are being bullied, as such a thing is not tolerated at the school. In recent years, she has become more open to being cute and adorable and often wears dresses, even though she doesn't have to.*

**Iron Will* - Fluttershy's teachings of kindness and gentleness have inspired the once hot-headed and aggressive minotaur to such a degree, that he decided to start teaching full time at the school of friendship, succeeding her as the Kindness professor. He is not as mean and assertive as he used be, but similarly to Smolder, still holds an ounce or two of a tough exterior. More than anything however, he is a lot wiser and kinder. In addition to kindness, he also teaches Physical Education and loves to teach his students the values to exercise, health, and teamwork.*

**Capper* - After deciding to leave the school to focus on her fashion career, Rarity highly recommended Capper as her successor. And now, as the new Generosity professor, the dapper feline spends his days instructing students on the values of generosity as well as proper etiquette. He is still very suave and charismatic, earning him a rather popular rapport with the female students of the school who all tend to swoon over him, and he has a reputation for being calm and collected, even in the most dire situations. He is also regarded as the most stylish of the professors and has earned countless awards for "Best Dressed" amongst the staff. His classes are often more times than not, an etiquette class in which students learn good manners and how to behave politely amongst themselves and at social gatherings such as parties. He is good friends with The Smooze and the two are often seen shooting the breeze.*

**The Smooze* - The Smooze (Or just Smooze, as some call him), is the current Laughter Professor, succeeding Pinkie Pie. Before coming to the school he had a rather successful career as a stand-up comedian, but retired to the school after a good while to focus on helping students find their inner giggle. He delights in making his classes fun and bouncy, and teaches many different comedy techniques from whoopee cushions, to pies in faces.*

So in case you haven't noticed, I now have an official name for my AU which I am calling the "Duskverse". It is named directly after Frenemy Dusk (aka Twilight), who is the main antagonist. I made some rather interesting changes to the school of friendship by adding new teachers that I thought would succeed the Mane 6 perfectly. Now you might be wondering "Where is Scootaloo?" well she was going to be here originally, but I had a rather different idea in store for her which you will see in the coming future.
