# World State: ch-11
## NPC Memory
- High Inquisitor Malchor (Ministry): TERRIFIED -- Witnessed the destruction of the Severance Key -- Likely to report the Chancellors as gods or monsters.
- The Student Body (Solas-Pyre): INSPIRED -- Witnessed the Sky-Healing -- Beginning to self-identify as "Grey Mages."

- Aric & Elara ([The Union]): DEVOTED -- Accepted the mantle of First Wardens -- Consolidating the Grey Arcanum.
## Faction Attitudes
- The Ministry of Magic: HOSTILE/WEAKENED -- Their technological advantage (Severance Key) was proven useless against the Fusion.
- The Unified Faculty: HARMONIZED -- The physical evidence of the Grey Sky has ended the active debate between fire and ice.
- The Eternal Throne: HOSTILE -- View the Grey Era as a heretical hive-mind and a threat to Imperial monopoly.
- The Solas-Pyre Academy: UNIFIED -- Students are successfully teaching each other grounding and weaving techniques.
## Active World Events
- The Starfall Drift: PERMANENTLY STABILIZED; converted into the Grey Aurora.
- The Transition Period: CONCLUDED; the schools are physically and magically merged.
- The Grey Era: A permanent new environmental state allowing dual-resonance magic.
