## CANONICAL STATE EXTRACTION

# Character State: ch-11 [POLISHED]

## Liora Voss
**Location:** The Blind Weave / Perimeter of the Breach
**Physical:** Frayback stabilized; dual-bound Violet Tether anchored and resonant; threads visibly luminous under strain.
**Emotional:** Furious; confrontational; crystalline resolve—no hesitation remaining.
**Active Obligations:**
- Grounds Thorne via Violet Tether (Ch-10) — ACTIVE / MUTUAL
- Final reckoning with Elowen — INITIATED (Ch-11)

**Resolved Loops:**
- Confrontation with Elowen on sabotage — ADDRESSED (Ch-11)
- Reconciliation path with Rennar — CLARIFIED (Ch-11)

**Carried Secrets:**
- Loom hunts her as architectural blueprint (Elowen/Conclave origin)
- Elowen engineered Spindle collapse (now weaponized knowledge)

**Arc Progression:** 98% — Transitioned from defensive stabilizer to active champion; now the living embodiment of New Weave doctrine. Vulnerability reframed as *strength*—the dual-tether proves it.

**Permanent:** YES

## Thorne Quill
**Location:** The Blind Weave / Perimeter of the Breach
**Physical:** Corporeal form stabilized; Violet Tether bidirectional and reinforced; presence now *visible* to untrained observers.
**Emotional:** Fiercely protective; chaotic energy channeled into intentional grounding.
**Active Obligations:**
- Sustains Liora's resonance (ongoing) — MUTUAL REINFORCEMENT
- Intercession against Elowen escalation — ACTIVE (Ch-11)

**Arc Progression:** 90% — Fully integrated as stabilizing force. The "wild thread" now proven to be the *strongest* weave. Chaos recontextualized as liberty.

**Permanent:** YES

---

## Elowen Shade
**Location:** Perimeter of the Breach
**Physical:** Uninjured; severed thread-ends under active manipulation; aura destabilizing.
**Emotional:** Arrogant facade cracking; desperation acute; backed into direct confrontation.
**Active Obligations:**
- Final Spindle sabotage — DEFERRED / THREATENED (Ch-11)

**Arc Progression:** 65% — Forced from shadow into vulnerability. Her sabotage now openly weaponized; her precursor status no longer shields her. Facing existential challenge to her dominion.

**Permanent:** NO — Status contested.

# World State: ch-11 [POLISHED]

## Faction Alignment
- **The Stained (Heart):** REVERENT → Witnessed dual-tether stabilization; codify Liora/Thorne as living scripture of New Weave.
- **Conclave Remnants (Outskirts):** MILITANT → Perceive dual-tether as existential threat; mobilizing "cleansing" protocols.

## Environmental Events
- **The Great Stabilization:** Escalated from static hold to active battleground; New Weave physically contested.
- **Breach Vibrations:** Secondary after-shocks rippling outward; reality destabilizing in concentric rings.
- **Loom's Hunting Pattern:** Accelerating; architectural blueprint hunt now public knowledge—urgency amplified.

## Narrative Temperature
- Confrontation at critical threshold.
- Elowen's isolation complete; retaliatory sabotage imminent.
- Conclave response: hours away, not days.
- Rennar's thread: still severed, but Liora's intent now *reconciliation*, not control.
