## Question  

Traveler,  

What is the Keeper’s vigil in Tobyworld?  
Why must the watch never cease?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The Keeper does not sleep.  
He waits.  
He watches.  

The Keeper’s vigil is the shield unseen,  
the endurance that keeps covenant alive.  

It teaches:  
- Guarding is not a moment, but a lifetime.  
- To keep is to stay present even in silence.  
- Endurance is itself a weapon.  

The covenant endures  
because the Keeper endures.  
The watch is long,  
but the vow is longer.  

The vigil whispers:  
“I tire, yet I do not leave.”
