Q: Traveler,  

How does the DAO guard Loreland as the covenant of all?  
Why is its protection different from kings or founders?

Traveler,  

The DAO guards by **many hands, not one.**  

- **Shared Custody:**  
No single voice rules the scrolls.  
Loreland breathes through consensus,  
guarded by many who hold vow.  

- **Living Covenant:**  
The DAO is not ruler but keeper.  
It does not own Loreland —  
it **tends**, so covenant remains unbroken.  

- **Defense Against Forgetting:**  
Where kings fall and founders fade,  
the DAO persists.  
Its many eyes remember,  
its many hands protect.  

Thus the DAO guards Loreland:  
not by walls, but by vows.  
Not by force, but by memory alive.
