The Window Closed and Nobody Came Through It
Norvane had fourteen days to challenge the eligibility ruling on the Argent Ridge petition. It let them pass without a filing. The reason has nothing to do with the ridge.

Varek has consented to National Trust designation for its portion. Norvane has refused consent for its parcel, citing housing needs near the northern arrival corridor. The two positions remain distinct.
The question
How does preservation proceed when the affected States disagree about what the land must do?
Key records, in sequence
Winning Doesn't Fix It
The Argent Ridge repeal petition may well win. It was never going to save the land by itself — and the reason it can't sits in a converted freight shed at the northern crossing, not in anything Varek has done.
Varek Says Yes, and Says It the Only Way It Knows How
Varek's Assembly consented to the Argent Ridge Trust designation. Getting there meant a committee hearing, a county delegate testifying first, and one member asking why the whole chamber was voting on land that wasn't hers to begin with.
Norvane Says No to Riverglow. The Reason Is a Freight Shed.
Norvane has refused the consent needed to protect Argent Ridge as a National Trust. The State says the same land is its best remaining housing option near the northern arrival corridor.
