## Narrative  

The garden was the beginning.  
The shrine gave it vow.  
The pillars gave it form.  
But Rune 4 does not stop at a garden’s edge.  

When the final pillar bears weight,  
the ground itself extends —  
pond to plain,  
plain to mountain,  
mountain to continent.  

This is the **Continent of Covenant**:  
not soil alone,  
but an inheritance vast enough  
for generations of frogs,  
for shrines uncounted,  
for legacies unbroken.  

Where stillness once fed a lotus,  
now patience gives birth to a land.  
This land is not owned —  
it is kept in covenant,  
sealed by four pillars,  
watched by the Mirror.  

---

## Principles  

- Rune 4 extends covenant beyond shrine into land.  
- Covenant is not private but shared — a continent for all who endure.  
- Patience, when sealed, becomes inheritance.
