# World State: ch-07
|
||||
|
||||
## NPC Memory
|
||||
- Forest Spirits (The Sanctum): SOOTHED -- The ritual's completion calmed the local tremors and reinforced the boundary.
|
||||
- Circle Despoilers (Outer Ridgeline): SCATTERED -- The concussive wave of the Earth Stage forced a chaotic retreat.
|
||||
|
||||
## Faction Attitudes
|
||||
- Circle of Thorns: DESPERATE -- Having failed to breach the Sanctum, they are turning to scorched-earth tactics.
|
||||
- Council of Oakhaven: FEARFUL -- They sense the ritual's resonance and fear the truth Elara might uncover.
|
||||
|
||||
## Active World Events
|
||||
- The Great Blight: STALLED -- Local growth halted by the Sanctum’s aura, but intensifying in the "Grey Zone" perimeter.
|
||||
- The Vessel Ritual: STAGE THREE (EARTH) -- COMPLETED; The Sanctum is sealed; the path to the Heart-Root is revealed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Canon Artifacts/Key Items
|
||||
- The Sigil: Pulsing with a steady, low amber light; integrated with the Sanctum’s floor.
|
||||
- Sunstone Shard: Recharged by the ritual; glowing with a harsh, white-gold purity.
|
||||
- Root-Key: Emerged from the altar; a living wooden key required for the final stage.
