+## NPC Memory
+- Councillor Voss (Ministry): DEFEATED/HUMILIATED — Retreating to the capital; preparing a massive "Categorical Error" grievance.

+
+## Active World Events
+- The Grey Era: PERMANENT — The sky is dominated by a stable, mercury-grey aurora; elemental equilibrium has been achieved across the Spire.
+- The Steam Phoenix: ACTIVE — Residing in the Sanctum; functions as a living avatar of the Chancellors’ combined mana.
+- The Union: COMPLETE — The story concludes with the physical and institutional marriage of fire and ice.
