What is recorded here

Legan still holds an unclassified castle, though no public file explains which hands built it or when it fell silent. The land may have served as a fortress, a boundary marker or a private seat, yet the absence of a label denies the place its own history. Forgetting is not the same as peace; it is a lock with no key.
