What is recorded here
Death and darkness are in that place. It is no wonder women go mad and men drown when they spend the night there. The fort is a living thing, not a ruin. It breathes, hunts and remembers. Every stone is a muscle. Every shadow is a choice. When you leave, you will know exactly what you lost. That is the gift.
