What is recorded here

Moyarta West holds a earthen ringfort, a circular defence built by human hands but renamed by local imagination. The fairies took the fort when people stopped fearing it, or perhaps they never left it at all. Either way, the earth remembers shape before history, and the boundary between living and dead becomes a wall you can walk around.
