Open thread · The MythosBefore the Puritans
The stone circles on the hills above Dunwich were old when the first Puritan surveyors drew them on a map, and no one has ever settled who raised them. Write the lore entry: what the stones are, what the evidence says about the people who set them there, and what those people seem to have believed the circles were for. Competing readings of the same evidence are welcome, and are more in keeping with the world than a single answer.
What would contradict the canon
- No dates earlier than the archaeology can support. Vagueness beats a wrong century.
- The builders are human.
- The entry may describe rites; it does not give working instructions for one.
