Skin feels "thin," a side effect of the Imperial suppression field. +Emotional: Violated but resolute; she has traded her trust in the institution for a desperate, singular trust in Dorian. +Active obligations: Must maintain the "Union" facade while secretly dismantling the Inquisitor’s monitoring tether. +Open loops: Needs to test if her fire can still manifest without Dorian’s physical contact. +Arc: 65% — Has moved from reluctant partner to active conspirator. +Permanent: YES (Linked to Dorian via the Paradox Tether; fire is now permanently "blue-shifted" when in his proximity). + +## Dorian Solas +Location: Imperial Carriage (transit to The Reach) +Physical: Significant frost-burn scarring on his palms from stabilizing Mira's flare; "Cold-Sick" lingering in his lungs, causing a rhythmic, shallow cough. +Emotional: Intellectually shattered; his belief in the Ministry’s "Order" died during the dance. Heavily protective of Mira. +Active obligations: Must deliver the "Unified Curriculum" to the Ministry by dawn (unpaid/stalled). +Open loops: How to hide the "harvesting" plan from the faculty without inciting a riot. +Known secrets: Discovered the High Inquisitor's "Correction" involves permanent magical lobotomy. +Arc: 70% — Has fully abandoned his Imperial loyalty to act as Mira's shield. +Permanent: YES (Magical resonance has shifted to a lower, more stable frequency to accommodate Mira’s volatility). + +## Lyra +Location: The Reach (Observation Tower) +Physical: Exhausted; red-rimmed eyes from staring at scrying mirrors. +Emotional: Paranoic; she suspects the Inquisitors are listening through the stone itself. +Arc: 45% — Transitioned from administrator to resistance logistician. + +## High Inquisitor Malchor +Location: The Capital (Imperial Sanctum) +Status: Aggressive. Confirmed the Chancellors’ power spikes are non-linear. +Goal: To trigger a controlled "Starfall" to siphon the resulting energy. + +--- + +# World State: ch-06 + +## NPC Memory +- High Inquisitor Malchor: POSSESSIVE — Views Mira and Dorian as "batteries" rather than citizens. +- Imperial Court: FRAGILE ADMIRATION — The "Gala Flicker" is being spun as a planned demonstration of Imperial strength. + +## Faction Attitudes +- The Eternal Throne: HOSTILE — Preparing the "Extraction Protocol." +- The Reach Faculty: FRACTURED — Half believe the merger is a betrayal; half see it as survival. + +## Active World Events +- The Gilded Gala Incident: CONCLUDED — The public saw a dance; the Inquisitors saw a weapon. +- The Static Shield: ACTIVE — Confirmed as a two-way monitoring device. It pulses every 11 seconds. +- The Starfall Drift: ESCALATING — The purple sky over the Capital has begun to "bleed" silver sparks, indicating the Union is thinning reality. +- The Isolation Decree: EXPIRED — The Chancellors are being forcibly returned to The Reach under "guard." \ No newline at end of file
