What is recorded here

Fairy forts are not fantasy. They are real places where people lived, died and were forgotten. The distinction matters because belief often follows observation. What looks magical may simply be old. What sounds ridiculous may preserve a memory that writing discarded. This is why clarity must lead everywhere.
