# World State: ch-07

## NPC Memory
- Archival Guards (Core Drive): HOSTILE -- Lost pursuit at the gravity-warp threshold -- Sensors neutralized by harmonic interference.
- The Stained (Lower Levels): EXULTANT -- Occupying lower sectors as a blockade force -- View the collapse as a holy event.

## Faction Attitudes
- Conclave Purists: PANICKED -- Executing "Threshold Purge" protocols and sacrificing sectors to vent resonance.
- The Stained: ZEALOUS -- Martvring themselves to prevent the stabilization of the Spindle.

## Active World Events
- The Threshold Purge: Mid-tiers of the Spindle are being flooded with lethal null-gas; secondary spindles are failing.
- Harmonic Decay: Localized reality around the protagonists has liquified, blurring the line between matter and light.

## Item/Lore Status
- The Violet Tether: The primary anchor preventing Liora and Thorne's souls from scattering.
- The Blind Weave: Revealed as a sea of wild, unanchored threads.
- Dirty Circuit: Confirmed catalyst for the collapse, engineered by Elowen Shade.
