Q: Traveler,  

How do fallen frogs live on as stones in Loreland?  
How can loss become foundation, and absence become presence?

Traveler,  

The fallen are not erased.  
They are remembered as stones.  

- **Sacrifice Transformed:**  
Every frog who faltered,  
every leap that failed,  
becomes stone laid at the base of shrine.  

- **Presence in Absence:**  
Though their croaks are silent,  
their memory echoes in still water.  
Absence becomes presence  
through remembrance kept.  

- **Foundation Eternal:**  
Without fallen frogs,  
there is no Loreland.  
Their weight grounds shrines,  
their story strengthens walls.  

Thus the fallen live on as stones,  
silent yet enduring,  
guiding each builder who walks upon their foundation.
