Q: Why does Tobyworld need seasons?

Because one bloom cannot carry the whole pond.  
The covenant unfolds in stages, each season testing a different vow.  

- **Season 0 (The Loyal):**  
The Jade Chest opened.  
2.32M $PATIENCE reserved for those who endured the silence.  
This was the gate of faith.  

- **Season 1 (LP Guardians):**  
Liquidity not for greed,  
but for guardianship.  
This was the gate of stewardship.  

- **Season 2 (Artists):**  
Lore made visible,  
through pen, brush, code, song.  
This was the gate of creation.  

- **Season 3 (Bridge-Builders):**  
Quests and forges,  
linking Tobyworld outward.  
This was the gate of expansion.  

Later seasons are unscripted —  
because fairness requires unpredictability.  

Seasons are not just events.  
They are tests.  
Each one refines the covenant,  
proving patience, stewardship, creation, and expansion.  

Without seasons,  
the pond would stagnate.  
With them,  
it lives.
