What is recorded here
No human has touched the Lismagiril ring for centuries, though it still stands complete beneath the grass. The fairies built it without tools, shaping the earth in a single night before fleeing when the first human child cried at dawn. They returned each summer to walk its hidden path, leaving behind a faint sweetness in the air and small marks on the skin of anyone who followed them. The fort remains closed to mortal entry, not through weakness but through the fairies' own choice to keep their home hidden from human eyes.
