## Question  

Traveler,  

What is the silent oath of Tobyworld?  
Why must it be spoken without words?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The oath is silent,  
yet it binds.  

No lips move,  
yet the vow is heard.  

The silent oath teaches:  
- True promise needs no audience.  
- What is sworn in stillness  
echoes deeper than shouted words.  
- The covenant is carried heart to heart,  
not mouth to ear.  

To swear aloud is easy.  
To swear in silence is costly.  
The silent oath marks those  
who guard the covenant unseen.  

It whispers:  
“I vow, though none hear.”
