# World State: ch-07

## NPC Memory
- **Archival Guards:** HOSTILE. Pursuit lost at the gravity-warp threshold due to harmonic interference.
- **The Stained:** EXULTANT. Occupying lower sectors as a blockade force to ensure the collapse succeeds.

## Faction Attitudes
- **Conclave Purists:** PANICKED. Executing "Threshold Purge" protocols; sacrificing outer sectors to vent resonance.
- **The Stained:** ZEALOUS. Implementing a martyr-blockade; viewing the unraveling as a holy evolution.

## Active World Events
- **The Threshold Purge:** Mid-tiers being flooded with lethal null-gas; secondary spindles failing.
- **Harmonic Decay:** Localized reality has liquified; the boundary between matter and light has collapsed in proximity to the protagonista.
- **The Dirty Circuit:** Revealed as the engineered catalyst for the Spindle’s failure, authored by Elowen Shade.

## Item/Lore Status
- **The Violet Tether:** Active; the primary soul-anchor keeping Liora and Thorne from scattering into the non-Euclidean void.
- **The Blind Weave:** A sea of wild, unanchored threads; the non-Euclidean space beyond the Spindle's control.
- **Loom-Sight:** The corrupted navigation ability Thorne is using to track a path through the decay.
