What is recorded here
Querrin holds a forgotten ringfort where clay and stone still mark the boundary of human life. The fairies took the house but they left the circle behind. People built the fort to keep out the dark, yet the fairies use the same wall to keep their own shape intact. Strength and weakness belong to the same place.
