-# WORLD STATE: ch-15 [POLISHED/FINAL]
+## World State: ch-15 [POLISHED FINAL]
 
-**Primary Event:** The Great Integration — New Weave bleeding into physical world; magic becoming collaborative force, not extractive
+**Active Events:**
+- The Great Integration — ONGOING; New Weave bleeding into physical world; magic now collaborative, not extractive
+- Power Redistribution — EMERGING political vacuum between failing Conclave and rising Stained influence
 
-**Faction Status:**
+**Faction Positions:**

-**Critical Unresolved Tensions:**
+**NPC Memory:**

+- Kaelen (Kaelen's Camp) — DEVOTED; witnessed Great Integration; tasked with strengthening first permanent settlement
-2. Long-term physical toll on Liora and Thorne as permanent anchors — sustainability unknown
-3. The Stained's rising political power vs. Conclave vacuum — power redistribution incomplete
-4. Thorne's existence as knowledge gap between Liora and the others — will truth shatter trust?
 
-**Solidified Changes:**
+**Immediate Threats (Secondary):**
-- The Consent Shift: FUNCTIONAL (trio's joint reinforcement holds)
+- Elowen Shade's unrevealed sabotage agenda — unconfirmed but active
-- Magic laws fundamentally altered; extraction now requires consent
+- Physical toll on Liora's anchor function — long-term sustainability questioned
-- Breach permanently stabilized but anchored to three specific lives
