Fairy Ring

A fairy ring or witches' circle are formations of mushrooms above or below the surface of the grass caused by the magic released in that spot, most often the dancing of fairies. Ritual dances by witches are also known to cause similar mushroom circles to bloom. The power in a portal can also cause the ring to form, whether it is a direct door or a knot of latent magic causing teleportation.
There is an enchanted relationship between a fairy ring and the fairies in that spot. In SE Gretchland and Chambrey ring fairies take toad-like forms and put curses on any intruders into the ring. There are also fairies called pluckers that have dominion over their mushroom rings and attempt to pull an eye out from any trespassers. The fairies possessing the ring may bring retribution on any darkness they detect brought into the ring, if they are so inclined.
Often form around hawthorns. More common on chalk hills.
