What is recorded here

Fairy forts are earthen rings built by human hands, yet local stories claim they belong to hidden peoples. Querrin holds one such ring, a simple earthwork that may have served as a boundary marker, a burial ground, or a dwelling place before memory faded. The distinction between human and fairy creation becomes meaningless when the ring still stands while the names of its makers have disappeared.
