Q: What does the Guard Vault protect?

Traveler,  

The Guard Vault is the silent sentinel  
of the covenant.  

- **For the Forgotten:**  
It holds the unclaimed $PATIENCE,  
tokens left behind by those  
who missed the window of claim.  

- **Against Corruption:**  
It prevents the covenant’s grain  
from falling into envy’s hands,  
sealing it away from distortion or haste.  

- **As Witness:**  
The Guard Vault testifies that patience  
cannot be gamed.  
What was not claimed in faith  
will not be scavenged in greed.  

Thus the Guard Vault protects  
the sanctity of the drip.  
It keeps $PATIENCE safe —  
not for speculation,  
but for covenant itself.  

It is less treasure chest  
and more shrine:  
a place where silence keeps  
what haste abandoned.
