# Character State: ch-23

## Mira
Location: The Great Atrium, Solas Academy.
Physical: Radiating a soft, violet-silver luminescence; fingers laced with Dorian's; wearing the singed formal robes from the Gala as a badge of defiance.
Emotional: Sovereign and unyielding; the fear of her own volatility has been replaced by a grounded, expansive sense of belonging.
Active obligations: To physically lead the first mixed-magic channelling session in front of the student body.
Open loops: [Mira/Legislature] Must face the inevitable summon from the High Council regarding the breach of the Separation Edict.
Arc: 85% — She has fully integrated her fire with Dorian’s ice, moving from a self-contained weapon to a co-architect of a new magical paradigm.
Permanent: YES

## Dorian Solas
Location: The Great Atrium, Solas Academy.
Physical: His pulse is visible in his throat, synced perfectly to Mira’s; his hands are steady but the "absolute-zero" chill is gone, replaced by a comfortable, living warmth.
Emotional: Transformed; he has traded his ancestral isolation for a vulnerability he now views as his greatest strength.
Active obligations: To shield Mira from the legal repercussions of Voss’s report using his family’s remaining political capital.
Open loops: [Dorian/Lineage] The Solas family estate has officially sent a notice of "Lineage Inquiry."
Arc: 85% — He has publicly abandoned the Solas dogma of purity, choosing a "compromised" union over a sterile legacy.
Permanent: YES

## Kaelen
Location: Atrium Perimeter.
Physical: Standing guard with a unified "Grey" sigil pinned to his cloak.
Emotional: Fiercely loyal; he views the Chancellors' union as a liberation of the student guard from rigid elemental castes.
Arc: 40% — Transitioned from a Pyre traditionalist to the primary enforcer of the unified Accord.
Permanent: YES

## Councillor Voss
Location: Imperial Capital (in transit).
Physical: Exhausted but fueled by a cold, bureaucratic rage.
Emotional: Vengeful; he is drafting the "Heresy and Instability" report that will serve as the primary antagonist force for the climax.
Arc: 60% — No longer a mere auditor; he is now a hunter seeking to dismantle the Academy.
Permanent: NO

# World State: ch-23

## NPC Memory
- The Faculty: Polarized. Half have followed the Chancellors into the Atrium; the "Purists" have barricaded themselves in the North Library.
- The Students: Unified. The "Grey Resonance" has spread from the Chancellors to the senior initiates, who are now manifesting dual-elemental wisps.

## Faction Attitudes
- The "Grey Union": A burgeoning movement of students and younger masters who see the resonance as the natural evolution of magic.
- The Imperial Judiciary: Aggressively hostile. They have frozen the Academy’s central currency accounts in response to the "Safety through Separation" violation.

## Active World Events
- The Great Channelling: A permanent atmospheric shift at the Academy; the air in the Atrium now carries a constant, low-frequency hum of synthesized magic.
- The Imperial Embargo: The Academy is now physically and financially isolated from the Northern Provinces.
- The Violet Spark: It is no longer a secret; it is the official emblem of the new Solas-Pyre curriculum.
