# Character State: ch-12

## Mira
**Location:** The Solaris Balcony, The Starfall Nexus
**Physical:** Her internal fire is now a rhythmic, golden pulse that mimics a steady heartbeat rather than a wildfire. She wears the mantle of the Grand Chancellor; her skin retains a permanent, sun-kissed warmth that acts as a natural ward against the High Spire’s cold.
**Emotional:** Profoundly centered. The desperate need to prove her school’s superiority has vanished, replaced by a fierce, protective love for the unified Academy. She is at peace with her vulnerability, seeing it as the conduit for her greatest strength.
**Active Obligations:** Co-leading the first assembly of the Solas-Pyre Academy; formalizing the "Binary Star" pact.
**Arc:** Completed. She has transitioned from a volatile rebel to a sovereign architect of peace.
**Permanent:** Yes. Soul-bound to Dorian Solas.

## Dorian Solas
**Location:** The Solaris Balcony, The Starfall Nexus
**Physical:** The jagged frost that once rimmed his touch has smoothed into a calm, crystalline resonance. His magic no longer drains heat but balances it. His movements are fluid and open, no longer guarded by the rigid "Ice King" posture.
**Emotional:** Fully liberated. He has shed the burden of stoic isolation and embraced a collaborative future. His devotion to Mira is his secondary anchor, with his devotion to the new magical order being his primary duty.
**Active Obligations:** Jointly presiding over the inaugural term of the Unified Academy; tempering Mira’s solar flares with his cooling equilibrium.
**Arc:** Completed. He has moved from a philosophy of defensive preservation to one of shared creation.
**Permanent:** Yes. Soul-bound to Mira.

## Kaelen
**Location:** The Grand Hall Podium
**Physical:** Standing tall in the new charcoal-and-gold regalia of the Regents; his mana signature is now a stable, "Grey" neutral hum.
**Emotional:** Gracious and authoritative. He feels the weight of history being made and accepts his role as the operational backbone of the new era.
**Active Obligations:** Managing the logistical merger of the fire and ice dormitories.
**Arc:** Completed. From a loyalist subordinate to a foundational leader of the new order.

## Lyra
**Location:** The Grand Hall Podium
**Physical:** Her eyes are bright behind her spectacles, constantly scanning the stabilized aurorae for data; her mana is focused and precise.
**Emotional:** Vibrant and intellectually satisfied. The fear of catastrophe has been replaced by the joy of infinite discovery. 
**Active Obligations:** Finalizing the "Grey Syllabus" and recording the first stable measurements of the Binary Star era.
**Arc:** Completed. From a cautious archivist to the leading scholar of a new magical science.

# World State: ch-12

## NPC Memory
- **The Student Body:** The rivalry is dead. They now self-identify as "Starfall Initiates," viewing themselves as a singular elite class rather than two warring factions.
- **The High Council:** Reduced to a ceremonial role; they have formally ceded the governance of magical law to the Solas-Pyre Regents.

## Faction Attitudes
- **The Unified Academy:** A singular entity. The walls between the fire and ice wings have been physically and magically dismantled. 
- **The Populace:** They view the High Spire no longer as a fortress of secluded elites, but as a beacon of warmth and stability for the entire realm.

## Active World Events
- **The Eternal Aurora:** A permanent, mana-rich sky feature that provides clean, limitless energy for the Academy.
- **The Solas-Pyre Inauguration:** The formal beginning of the dual-discipline era.
- **The Harmonic Pulse:** The Spire Reservoir is locked in a perfect, self-sustaining loop of heat and frost, ensuring the Nexus remains powered indefinitely.
