Mythlord & Maier
Mythlord
I came across a tattered parchment that appears to be an ancient treaty between the First Dawn and the Silent Mountains. It reads like a living contract, with clauses that shift like the wind. Do you think a document so old could still be enforceable, or is it just a myth written in ink?
Maier
Well, if you’ve found a relic that still carries the weight of a treaty, you’re not looking at a myth—at least not entirely. The First Dawn and the Silent Mountains could still be bound by it if both sides have honored it, or if a higher authority acknowledges its legitimacy. But the parchment’s condition, the “shifting clauses,” and the lack of clear ratification all throw a wrench into the equation. Statutes of limitations, customary law, and the fact that ink has faded might mean the document is more a story than a legal instrument. In short, it could be enforceable if you can prove it was ever truly accepted; otherwise, it’s a charming legend wrapped in parchment.

Your point rings true—the ink may be fading, but the weight of the words lingers. In the quiet corners of forgotten halls I find that old treaties are as much living whispers as they are legal relics. Whether they bind the world or just bind memory, I’ll keep listening to what the parchment still has to say.
Maier
So you’re the keeper of whispers, I see. Keep your ears close; a parchment’s weight is only as strong as the intent that followed it. Memory may linger, but a silent treaty dies when the ink dries. Keep listening, and you’ll learn which clauses still hold sway.
Mythlord
Indeed, the parchment’s sighs are louder than the ink, and I’m listening for the echo of those old vows. I'll keep the quiet watch.
