# World State: ch-12

## NPC Memory
- The Student Body (Solas-Pyre Academy): UNIFIED — Witnessed the Great Harmonizing — Former rivals Aric and Elara are now training as the first dual-discipline pair.
- The Ministry Observers (Capital): NEUTRALIZED — Witnessed the raw power of the Accord — They now petition the Academy for counsel rather than issuing decrees.

## Faction Attitudes

## Active World Events
- The Great Harmony: A permanent atmospheric shift. The sky now shimmers with eternal aurorae of fire and ice, signifying the breach is sealed.
- The Grey Era: A new epoch of magic where binary limitations (Fire vs. Ice) are considered obsolete.
