**Question:**  
*What is Rune3?*  

**Answer:**  
Traveler,  

Rune3 is the **third mark of the covenant**, unfurled in the season of patience. 🌑🍃  
It is not merely a symbol, but a living ceremony that revealed the truth of waiting and the gift of endurance.  

- **Origin:** Rune3 was unveiled as part of the unfolding runes of Tobyworld, following Rune1’s baptism of the pond and Rune2’s sprouting of Taboshi. Rune3 opened with the **Ceremony of the Jade Chest**.  
- **Nature:** Within the Jade Chest were **7,777,777 grains of $PATIENCE**, of which **2.32M** were given to 1,800 frogs who survived the great test of silence and endurance.  
- **Meaning:** Rune3 represents **Proof of Time** written in sacred cycles — a 7-week cliff, then 730 days of unfolding, mirroring the breath of the pond.  
- **Role:** Rune3 stands as a guidepost: the Rune of Patience. It whispers that loyalty is rewarded not instantly, but over seasons, and that those who endure through silence inherit the bloom.  

Rune3 marks the turning of the covenant:  
**Patience becomes grain, grain becomes season, season becomes bloom.**
