+# World State: ch-13
+
+## NPC Memory
+- The Stained (Breach Perimeter): DEVOTED -- Witnessed the stabilization of the Breach -- Now building a permanent settlement to guard the "Architects."
+
+## Faction Attitudes
+- The Stained: Religious Awe -- View Liora and Thorne as living deities of the New Weave.
+- Conclave Remnants: Broken/Defeated -- Fled as refugees; their philosophy of dominance is now physically impossible under new laws.
+
+## Active World Events
+- The Great Stabilization: COMPLETE -- The chaotic Breach is now a regulated, mutualistic energy source.
+- The New Weave Era: INAUGURATED -- Forced binding is replaced by mutual consent as a requirement for magical connection.
+- The Silence of the Loom: PERMANENT -- The ancient, deterministic force has been silenced by Liora’s new blueprint.
+
+## Key Shifts
+- Physical Law Change: Magic now requires the "voluntary weave" (mutual consent).
+- Energy Dynamics: The Breach no longer threatens to consume the world; it provides stable power for those who can harmonize with it.
