# Character State: ch-24

## Mira
Location: The Great Atrium, Solas Academy.
Physical: Her skin hums with a permanent violet-silver radiance; she is physically exhausted but her movements are fluid, no longer jerking with the erratic tension of uncontained fire. 
Emotional: Transcendent. The bridge between fear and power has been crossed; she feels a deep-seated peace that comes from no longer fighting her own nature.
Active obligations: To anchor the Grey Resonance while the first-year students attempt their initial dual-elemental manifestations.
Arc: 90% — Mira has shifted from a defensive leader to a spiritual and magical pioneer, viewing her magic as an invitation rather than a threat.
Permanent: YES

## Dorian Solas
Location: The Great Atrium, Solas Academy.
Physical: Standing inches from Mira, his presence acting as the thermal stabilizer for the room; his family signet ring has been discarded, left on the speaker’s podium as a silent resignation.
Emotional: Resolute. The weight of his lineage has vanished, replaced by a fierce, protective devotion to the new order and to Mira personally.
Active obligations: To manage the "Thermal Sink," ensuring the students' surging emotions don't lead to accidental combustion or flash-freezes.
Arc: 90% — Dorian has completed his divestment from the Solas name, finding his identity in the union rather than the vacuum of his father’s "purity."
Permanent: YES

## Kaelen
Location: Atrium Entrance Gates.
Physical: His hand rests on the hilt of a sword inscribed with both frost and flame sigils; he is scanning the horizon for the Imperial Vanguard.
Emotional: Wary but emboldened. He feels the weight of history shifting and identifies more as a "Grey Sentinel" than a Pyre Guard.
Arc: 50% — He has moved from a soldier of a faction to a guardian of a revolution.
Permanent: YES

## Councillor Voss
Location: The High Council Chambers, Imperial Capital.
Physical: Standing before the Prime Archon, presenting a vial of "corrupted" violet essence.
Emotional: Calculating and triumphant. He believes the Academy’s "instability" is the leverage needed to seize the Leyline Hubs.
Arc: 75% — He is no longer a bureaucrat; he is the architect of the coming purge.
Permanent: NO

# World State: ch-24

## NPC Memory
- The Faculty: The "Purists" have officially fled the grounds, leaving the Academy entirely in the hands of the Chancellors’ loyalists.
- The Student Body: A sense of religious fervor has taken hold; the students are no longer just learning magic, they are testifying to a "New Light."

## Faction Attitudes
- The Grey Union: No longer a secret society; they have adopted a smoke-grey uniform, discarding the red and blue of the old regime.
- The High Council: Has issued a "Decree of Cessation," declaring the Academy a rogue territory and authorizing the use of the Imperial Vanguard to "quell the anomaly."

## Active World Events
- The Resonant Atmosphere: The Academy’s climate has stabilized into a perpetual, temperate autumn, regardless of the season outside the walls.
- The Imperial Blockade: Vanguard ships have been spotted on the horizon; the physical siege of the Academy is imminent.
- Modern Magic: The "Separation Edict" is functionally dead within the Academy walls, replaced by the "Accord of Synthesis."
