+## Mira
+Location: The Star-Field Balcony, High Spire Reach

+## Dorian Solas
+Location: The Star-Field Balcony, High Spire Reach
+Physical: Relaxed posture; his right hand—once cold and clinical—now radiates a steady, welcoming warmth; eyes carry the silver flecks of the Starfall.

+Active obligations: To draft the New Accord with the Ministry (Ch20) — ACTIVE; To maintain the bridge’s containment field alongside Mira (Ch20) — ACTIVE.

+# World State: ch-20
+
+## NPC Memory
+- The Student Body: Harmonious/Empowered — The distinction between "Spire" and "Pyre" students has been formally abolished. They utilize "Grey" magic for construction and healing.
+- The Ministry: Cautious/Neutral — Forced into diplomatic silence by the undeniable stability of the Starfall Accord and the sheer power of the unified Chancellors.
+
+## Faction Attitudes
+- The Solas-Pyre Academy: Fully Integrated — A single entity with a unified curriculum focusing on equilibrium.
+- The General Public: Receptive — The stabilization of the aurora has ended the climate-based "Thermal Wars."
+
+## Active World Events
+- The Eternal Dawn (The Grey Age): The mercury-grey aurora is now a permanent atmospheric fixture, providing a clean, renewable source of magic for the realm.
+- The Starfall Accord: A signed legal and magical treaty ensuring the schools remain unified regardless of future political shifts.
+- The Obsidian Bridge: Rebuilt as a monument to Kaelen and Aric, now acting as the central hub of the Grey Arcanum.
