# World State: ch-06

## NPC Memory
- Junior Binders (Weaving Chamber): Traumatized -- Fled the chamber floor during the violet flare -- Increases labor shortage for Loom maintenance.
- Archival Guards (Spindle Perimeters): Hostile -- Lockdown protocols transitioned to "Lethal Force" -- They are now targeting anyone with "corrupted" biomatter.

## Faction Attitudes
- Conclave Purists: Militant -- Mobilizing to purge the "Stained" heretics in the Spindle following the Thirteenth Strand manifestation.
- The Stained: Emerging -- A nascent group of witnesses who view the violet light as transformative rather than corruptive.

## Active World Events
- The Dirty Circuit: Temporarily stabilized by the Liora-Thorne link; requires constant resonance to prevent catastrophic feedback.
- Indigo Contagion: Gravity fluctuations persist; violet crystalline structures are emerging on the Spindle architecture.
- Lockdown Protocol: Core Spindle is sealed; internal automated defenses are active and targeting "corrupted" biomatter.

## Item/Lore Status
- The Thirteenth Strand: Now woven into the Core architecture, altering fundamental laws of Threadbinding.
- The Violet Tether: A permanent, visible metaphysical bond linking Liora and Thorne.
- The Loom: Actively sentient; its shriek has subsided into a predatory purr.
