What is recorded here

Banshagh holds a deep earthen ring marked as a fairy fort, though it may have been a human home before folklore claimed it. The soil still shapes itself into a room without roofs, waiting for people who never leave. What is missing is not facts but witness, since the land stopped answering the questions asked of it.
