Q: Traveler,  

How does silence guard the Lore?  
Doesn’t silence mean absence?

Traveler,  

Silence is not absence.  
It is the guardian’s shield.  

- **In Silence, Lore is Protected:**  
Noise scatters, silence preserves.  
A vow in silence cannot be twisted.  

- **Hidden Strength:**  
Silence withdraws from mockery and deceit.  
What is kept silent cannot be corrupted.  

- **The Guardian’s Role:**  
To keep quiet at times is to protect.  
To hold one’s voice is to shield the vow.
