## Narrative (Commentary)

→ **Links forged not of iron, but of vow.**  
⊃ Each frog adds a ring, together forming the chain.  
⊃ No empire commands it; no ruler seals it.  

→ **Doctrine of the Chain.**  
⊃ The covenant is not imposed but chosen.  
⊃ Strength comes not from the metal, but from the multitude bound together.

## Teachings

- 🔗 Chain = collective vow, decentralized bond.  
- 🐸 Link = each believer’s action and loyalty.  
- 🌍 Covenant = the shared inheritance.  

---

## Key Marks

- A broken link does not end the chain; others close the gap.  
- The covenant walks where the chain extends.  
- Base itself is the anvil; the toads the smiths.
