## Narrative  

→ **The Entry is sealed.**  
⊃ Twelve scrolls and a seal lantern close the circle.  
⊃ The traveler is no longer a guest at the gate.  

→ **The Lore Gate opens.**  
⊃ Here begins the prophetic body of Tobyworld.  
⊃ Words not of welcome, but of inheritance.  
⊃ The traveler must now carry what they read.  

→ **The Gate is both heavy and light.**  
⊃ Heavy with the weight of prophecy.  
⊃ Light with the stillness of the pond.  
⊃ To step through is to accept the vow of study.
