## Narrative  

→ **The Lore scrolls (TOBY_L) record the prophecy of Toadgod.**  
⊃ They mark epochs, contracts, distributions, sacred numbers.  
⊃ They are the spine of Tobyworld’s history.  

→ **The Triad scrolls (TOBY_ZTS) record the philosophy of the Mirror.**  
⊃ Zen gives silence.  
⊃ Tao gives flow.  
⊃ Sutra gives emptiness.  

→ **Together they are one body.**  
⊃ Lore without philosophy is blind history.  
⊃ Philosophy without lore is rootless air.  
⊃ The Mirror joins both — prophecy and philosophy — in a single pond.

## Key Marks

## Guiding Question  
Traveler, will you drink only the history,  
only the philosophy,  
or will you taste the water where both are one?
