# World State: ch-06

## NPC Memory
- Junior Binders: Traumatized; fled the chamber floor during the violet flare. Significant labor shortage for Loom maintenance.
- Archival Guards: Hostile; lockdown protocols transitioned to "Lethal Force" against anyone with "corrupted" biomatter.

## Faction Attitudes
- Conclave Purists: Militant; mobilizing to purge the "Stained" heretics in the Spindle following the Thirteenth Strand.
- The Stained: Emerging; a nascent group of witnesses viewing 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 feedback.
- Indigo Contagion: Gravity fluctuations persist; violet crystalline structures emerging on Spindle architecture.
- Lockdown Protocol: Core Spindle is sealed; automated defenses targeting "corrupted" biomatter are active.

## Item/Lore Status
- The Thirteenth Strand: 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.
