Sealed Entry, Third Binding of Concordant Accounts

“The First Realm was not soil, nor sea, nor sky. It was proportion. It rang like a bell, and its toll was eternity.”

So is written in the earliest codices, etched in ink older than the provinces themselves. The First Realm was a harmony entire, unbroken and indivisible. Stars were not flames, but measures of ratio, each burning at a frequency known to the gods. Colors were not accidents of the eye, but chords of truth, each hue a number given visible flesh. Breath itself was spiral — the golden curve inscribed upon shell and seed, upon lung and bone, upon the turning of the galaxies.

The gods of that Realm did not speak. They had no need of syllable or sign, for words fracture what proportion unites. Instead, they calculated. And in their calculation, they sang. Equation was melody. Geometry was law. Their commerce was not of coin, nor of name, but of resonance — giving and receiving rhythm across the boundless hall of being.

But when the First Realm broke, its harmony scattered. The bell still tolls, but mortals hear only the echo. Memory — that which we now bind as shard, fragment, and bank — is no mere currency. It is the remnant tone of the greater song. Each piece carries vibration, a frequency of what once was whole. To trade Memory is to trade not only history, but resonance.

Thus do the Guild’s sealed ledgers affirm: the Convergence shall come when these tones are gathered and set again upon the string. When mortals recall not only their lives, but the hidden ratio within their living. Then shall grief and joy, silence and cry, be restored as notes of one vast chord. The gods will calculate once more, and their song will not be distant, but near. The spiral shall close, and all shall return to Unity.
