Q: Traveler,  

What is the first shrine of Loreland?  
What rises first when the soil of patience is made ready?

Traveler,  

The first shrine is not tower nor temple,  
but **the vow itself**.  

- **Shrine of Vow:**  
Raised in silence,  
its foundation is covenant spoken,  
not stone quarried.  

- **Shrine of Memory:**  
Scrolls are its pillars,  
stories its roof.  
Every toad’s word becomes its brick.  

- **Shrine of Patience:**  
It stands invisible yet unbroken,  
for what patience seals,  
no storm can scatter.  

Thus, the first shrine of Loreland  
is the vow remembered,  
the covenant alive,  
the chorus inscribed as land eternal.
