What is recorded here

No visible trace remains in Runaleen, though local memory holds that a fairy fort once stood there. People walked past the hidden place for generations, believing the ground still belonged to something older and less reasonable than human law. Forgetting did not erase the claim; it only stopped arguing with it.
