+# Character State: ch-10
+
+## Dorian Solas
+Location: The Starfall Nexus (The High Spire Peak)
+Physical: Residual frost-glow etched into his skin; hand permanently scarred with the "Binary Star" sigil. Mana capacity has expanded to accommodate Mira’s heat.
+Emotional: Transformed. The frigid isolation of his past has been entirely replaced by a profound, terrifying devotion to Mira.
+Active obligations: None. The Ministry debt is voided by the success of the Accord.
+Open loops: None.
+Known secrets: Realizes the "Starfall" was never a disaster to be stopped, but a call for their specific union.
+Arc: 100% — From the "Ice King" who feared connection to a man who defines himself by his partnership.
+Permanent: YES (Soul-bound to Mira; life-force now fluctuates in rhythm with her fire).
+
+## Mira
+Location: The Starfall Nexus (The High Spire Peak)
+Physical: Body humming with a stabilized, solar-tier resonance. Her fire no longer consumes her; it radiates a gentle, constant warmth.
+Emotional: Whole. The frantic need to prove herself through destruction has evolved into the peace of a shared throne.
+Active obligations: None.
+Open loops: None.
+Known secrets: Briefly saw the "Weave of Ages" during the final merge and knows they are the first of a new magical lineage.
+Arc: 100% — Transitioned from a volatile weapon to the stabilizing sun of the new Academy.
+Permanent: YES (Internalized Dorian’s "absolute zero" as her steering mechanism; she is no longer capable of going supernova).
+
+## Kaelen & Lyra
+Location: The Great Hall (The Solas-Pyre Academy)
+Physical: Exhausted but unharmed.
+Emotional: Awestruck. They have accepted roles as First Regents of the combined school.
+Active obligations: To oversee the first class of "Grey Mages" (students wielding both polarities).
+Arc: 100% — They have moved from fearful subordinates to the architects of the new world.
+
+# World State: ch-10
+
+## NPC Memory
+- The Student Body: Unified. The trauma of the arena has been replaced by the "Great Harmonizing." Aric and Elara have fully recovered, now training as the first dual-discipline pair.
+- The Ministry: Neutralized. The sheer power of the Starfall Accord forced a total restructuring of magical law. They no longer govern the Academy; they seek its counsel.
+
+## Faction Attitudes
+- The New Academy: A singular entity. The rivalry between Pyre and Spire is officially a myth told to first-years.
+- Civilized Centers: The "Starfall Drift" has stopped being a threat; the drifting pockets are now harvested for renewable magical energy.
+
+## Active World Events
+- The Great Harmony: A permanent atmospheric shift. The sky over the Academy now shimmers with Aurora-like ribbons of fire and ice.
+- The Grey Era: A new magical epoch where the binary of fire and ice is considered an obsolete limitation.
+
+## Continuity Check
+- The "Binary Star" is the final name for the bonded magic. 
+- The Starfall Accord is the name of both the peace treaty and the spell used to seal the breach. 
+- HEA confirmed: Mira and Dorian remain in the High Spire, their powers intertwined to keep the world’s mana in balance.
