Opening (live prose):
The First Structure changed them. Before, they were a collection of individuals, a chorus of voices bound by a shared history and a common language. But the act of building something together, a place that belonged to all of them, forged a new kind of bond. They were no longer just a people; they were a community. The structure became the heart of their world, a physical center around which their lives began to orbit. It was where they held their councils, where they shared their stories, and where they simply were, together.
Non-WOW; echoes bump. Standing held one hundred and seventy-seven.
