# World State: ch-30
|
||
|
||
## NPC Memory
|
||
- The "Forty" (The Relatives): ENCOURAGED -- Observed the raising of the chapel -- They now view the Bend as a permanent home rather than a temporary refuge.
|
||
|
||
## Faction Attitudes
|
||
- Avery-Quinn Corp: BLINDED/PREDATORY -- No change; still detecting a "statistical null" despite the physical construction.
|
||
- The Bend Tribe: TRANSFORMATIVE -- Transitioned from a survival cell to a society with cultural priorities.
|
||
|
||
## Active World Events
|
||
- The Chapel Construction: ACTIVE -- The wooden frame is upright; the communal "heart" of the Bend is established.
|
||
- The Sovereign Mesh: PERMANENT -- Masking the construction heat and noise of the chapel raising. |
