## Dorian Solas

## Dorian Solas

# World State: ch-04
# World State: ch-10
## NPC Memory
- Aric (Pyre Student): TRAUMATIZED -- Nearly boiled from the inside out -- Likely to fear his own Chancellor’s "New" magic.
- Elara (Spire Student): COMATOSE -- Mana-stripped by the Starfall loop -- Will remain a medical drain on the Union resources.
- Ministry Observers (Galleries): APPALLED -- Witnessed a lethal failure of the Union's first public act -- Will likely trigger a "Correction Clause."
- High Inquisitor Vane (Ministry): DEFEATED -- Witnessed the Harmonizing -- Stripped of authority by the new magical ley-lines.
- The Emperor (The Eternal Throne): NEUTRALIZED -- The Starfall tether was severed and stabilized -- Forced to acknowledge the Union's sovereignty.
- Student Body (Solas-Pyre): UNIFIED -- Witnessed the Great Equilibrium -- Former rivals (Aric/Elara) now training in dual-discipline pairs.
## Faction Attitudes
- The Ministry of Magic: HOSTILE -- See the arena disaster as proof that the Chancellors cannot control their students or their bond.
- Pyre Faculty: REBELLIOUS -- Blame Dorian’s "interference" for the injury of their star student, Aric.
- The Starfall Union: HARMONIOUS -- Pyre and Spire are officially integrated into a single entity.
- The Ministry of Magic: SUBMISSIVE -- They now petition the Academy for counsel rather than issuing decrees.
## Active World Events
- The Starfall Drift: Active and accelerating. Pockets are now moving over civilized centers (The Academy), not just the wastes.
- The Transition Stasis: The frozen steam monument in the arena is now a permanent magical landmark that cannot be melted by conventional fire.
- The Great Harmony: Permanent atmospheric shift; the sky shimmers with eternal fire-ice aurorae.
- The Grey Era: A new epoch where binary magical limitations are obsolete; Starfall Drift harvested as renewable energy.
