Nobody knows the full beginning.

But there is a story people tell.

What happened

Long ago, someone stopped running.

They stood still.

They listened.

And the world answered back for the first time.

Why it matters

That moment is treated as the start of Vaelinya:

Not a war.
Not a king.
Not a tower.

A listening.

The lesson

The world changes when someone is brave enough to hear it.
