The Quarantined Seminar: The Philosophy of Mankind and Ferret Business (Zero Credit Marks)
Originally filed by Archivist Iren Sol before her sudden expiration in the lower document vaults. The High Chancellery deliberately disguised her revolutionary syllabus under this absurd, deadpan title to ensure no serious student would ever take it. They knew with absolute certainty that her true teachings on raw personal honesty and empathy would completely shut the university down, rendering the profitable curriculum tracks of the other houses obsolete. It remains a hidden masterpiece of soul alignment, disguised as an administrative joke.
