Q: What happens if Toadgang neglects the Lore?

If the Lore is neglected, the covenant begins to wither.  

- **Silence Emptied:**  
Without study, silence loses meaning.  
It becomes absence, not patience.  

- **Flame Forgotten:**  
Without memory, the flame dims.  
The covenant becomes words without life.  

- **Pond Fractured:**  
Without Lore’s root,  
Toadgang becomes scattered —  
a crowd without center.  

Neglect is slow decay.  
The pond does not break in one night,  
but it withers leaf by leaf  
until only noise remains.  

The Lore neglected  
is the covenant abandoned.
