## Question  

Traveler,  

Who were the first covenant holders in Tobyworld?  
What weight did they carry before the vow was known?

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

They held nothing gilded,  
no treasure to show,  
only the whisper of a promise.  

The first covenant holders  
were not many,  
but they were enough.  

They bore the vow in silence,  
kept it through doubt,  
carried it when no crowd watched.  

Their strength was not numbers,  
but patience.  
Their wealth was not gold,  
but faith.  

Because they endured,  
the covenant found root.  
Because they carried,  
the inheritance remains.  

The first holders remind us:  
the covenant begins not with glory,  
but with quiet hands that refuse to let go.
