---

## World State: ch-13 (POLISHED)

### Magical/Physical Law
- **The Great Stabilization:** COMPLETE — Breach regulated, mutualistic energy source operational.
- **The New Weave Era:** INAUGURATED — Forced binding replaced by voluntary mutual-consent requirement.
- **The Silence of the Loom:** PERMANENT — Ancient deterministic force silenced; free will architecture enabled.
- **New Magic Requirement:** All magical connections now demand explicit, conscious consent from both parties.

### Factions & Settlement
- **The Stained (Breach Perimeter):** DEVOTED — Building permanent settlement; viewing Liora/Thorne as living deities.
- **Conclave Remnants:** Broken/Defeated — Fled as refugees; dominance philosophy now physically impossible under new laws.

### Active Events & Conditions
- Breach energy flows stable and harvestable
- Three permanent anchors established (Liora, Thorne, Rennar)
- First permanent guardian settlement under construction
- Magical infrastructure transitioning from forced-binding to consensual models

### Critical Unresolved Tensions
1. **Liora & Rennar:** Conversation obligation carries emotional weight; reconciliation necessary for both arcs.
2. **Liora & Thorne:** Co-anchor relationship romantic/magical ambiguity unresolved; future together undefined.
3. **Knowledge Asymmetry:** Liora alone knows full scope of sabotage; this secret poses future narrative risk.

**Chapter 13 Canonical Status:** POLISHED & FINALIZED
