What is recorded here
No visible trace remains in Rahona West, though the land still carries the memory of a ringfort. That absence is not emptiness; it is transformation. The earth absorbed the structure, and the structure continued shaping the place. What is missing can be imagined, but invention should not replace the facts already known.
