# World State: ch-06

## NPC Memory
- Junior Binders (Weaving Chamber): TRAUMATIZED -- Witnessed the forbidden Thirteenth Strand binding -- High risk of radicalization.
- Archival Guards (Spindle Perimeter): HOSTILE -- Enforcing lockdown with lethal intent -- Loyal to Purist doctrine.

## Faction Attitudes
- Conclave Purists: MILITANT -- Preparing to purge "stained" heretics; view violet light as spiritual corruption.
- The Stained (Nascent): EMERGENT -- Underground faction viewing Liora as a prophet of the new weave.

## Active World Events
- The Dirty Circuit: Stabilized by the Liora-Thorne link; requires resonance to prevent catastrophic feedback.
- Indigo Contagion: Gravity fluctuations and violet light spreading to upper galleries; physical corruption of the Spindle architecture.
- Lockdown Protocol: Core Spindle sealed; internal automated defenses armed and hostile.
- Loom Frequency: Low-level sentience active; perceptible only to Thorne.

## Item/Lore Status
- The Thirteenth Strand: Forbidden/chaotic frequency integrated into the Core; cause of systemic instability.
- The Violet Tether: Permanent metaphysical bond linking Liora and Thorne’s life-forces.
- Frayback: Risk of soul-severance; looming due to Thirteenth Strand integration.
- Binding Thread: Fundamental metaphysical fabric; now irrevocably altered by the "Dirty Circuit."
