What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not for us. They belong to the displaced children of angels, banned from heaven but forbidden to touch the ground. They built these rings in darkness, crafting homes from earth and shadow because sunlight would burn them. The local people knew better than to approach. They left the rings alone, respecting the bitter creativity of outcasts who shaped beauty only in the dark.
