+# Character State: ch-01
+
+## Mira
+**Location:** The Obsidian Bridge (Center Span), Great Crevasse boundary.
+**Physical:** Severe magical exhaustion; bleeding right palm (ritual cut); persistent cold-shock from Dorian's proximity; thermal regulation failing.
+**Emotional:** Violently compromised; experiencing intense sensory intrusion through the soul-tether; desperate for Pyre sovereignty.
+**Active Obligations:** Legally and magically bound to Dorian Solas; must integrate Pyre Academy into the Starfall Accord.
+**Open Loops:** Mira/The Emperor’s "burnt sugar" corruption (secret insight); Mira/Dorian "Binary Star" stability.
+**Arc:** 15% — From independent sovereign to an "anchor" physically and spiritually fused to her rival.
+**Permanent:** YES (Soul-tethered; cannot separate from Dorian without physical/magical agony).
+
+## Dorian Solas
+**Location:** The Obsidian Bridge (Center Span), Great Crevasse boundary.
+**Physical:** Thermal shock; bleeding right palm (ritual cut); hands trembling from Mira’s internal heat; mana-pool fluctuates wildly.
+**Emotional:** Stoic facade masking absolute terror; experiencing the collapse of his "absolute zero" mental fortress.
+**Active Obligations:** Must share the Spire’s stabilization resources; legally merged with Mira as a single administrative unit.
+**Open Loops:** Dorian’s insight into the "Progenitor-based" tether technology (secret insight); sensory bleed thresholds.
+**Arc:** 20% — From detached academic observer to biological participant in a forced union.
+**Permanent:** YES (Integrated into "Starfall Union" nexus; heartbeats syncing with Mira’s).
+
+## Kaelen (Senior Proctor)
+**Location:** Chancellor’s Sanctum, Pyre Academy.
+**Physical:** Singed robes; eyes stinging from Mira’s aura spike.
+**Emotional:** Apprehensive; fiercely protective of Mira; views the Spire with deep-seated resentment.
+**Active Obligations:** Must manage faculty reaction to the Decree.
+**Arc:** 05% — Wartime administrator for a merging institution.
+**Permanent:** NO.
+
+# World State: ch-01
+
+## NPC Memory
+- **Kaelen (Pyre):** ADVERSARIAL — Believes the Spire is "colonizing" Pyre Academy; will subtly sabotage Dorian's integration efforts.
+
+## Faction Attitudes
+- **The Eternal Throne:** TYRANNICAL — Used the Starfall Drift as a pretext for the Accord to control the two most powerful mages.
+- **Pyre Academy (Fire):** INSURGENT — View the merger as a spiritual "extinguishing."
+- **Crystalline Spire (Ice):** IMPERIALISTIC — View the Pyre as unrefined and dangerous; intend to dictate the terms of the merger.
+
+## Active World Events
+- **The Starfall Drift:** Environmental collapse accelerating; the ether is visually "tearing" the sky over the Volcanic Reach.
+- **The Starfall Accord:** Officially binding; the two academies are now a single legal entity under joint Chancellorship.
+- **The Sensory Bleed:** ACTIVE — Mira and Dorian now feel each other’s physical pain, temperature shifts, and raw emotional spikes across the tether.
