What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Brackwanshagh, though local memory still names the lost fort. It belongs to the old binary world where human and fairy time overlap, not to modern certainty. The absence does not diminish the place; it completes the warning. To enter a hidden fort is to stop believing that every road must return you unchanged.
