What is recorded here

Mortons and Fairies both claim the lost place. The Fort of a Hundred Rooms stands in Donegal, built with chambers for every resident and a central hall for a queen who never appeared. Women vanished after visiting the completed rooms, returning years later with age on their faces and no memory of the years lost. The king ordered the fort destroyed rather than lose more citizens to fairy time.
