In the aftermath of the Shattering, the Wakewall vault-cities recognized that survival required more than walls.
They required continuity.

The Stone Concord formed as a layered authority of forge-masters, archivists, and verdict-keepers.
It did not establish a ruler. It established a structure of decision-making that could endure resonance-driven instability.
Power would flow through precedent rather than decree, because precedent could be tested, reinforced, and carried forward.

This event marks the moment Gravenreach becomes a state rather than a collection of surviving vaults.
