Elsewhere University Jaunt Info
based on charminglyantiquated's Elsewhere University world

The University was founded on ordinary, flat ground in the late 1800s in the country of New England. No one knows its original name. The fairy hill came later, around the 1920s. For the unknowing, Elsewhere University--EU or Elsewhere U for short--is a typical school, albeit with a few quirks. Iron washers on strings are given to all the freshmen. Green is noted as bad luck, but it's still the school colors (although the actual shades change frequently). Everyone must go by false names and never, ever say their true names. Ever.
About a third of the campus knows of the Gentry, the Fair Folk, the Good Neighbors, the Lords and Ladies. Call them what you will, call them even by your own culture's name for beings like them, for that is how they may appear to you, but always with reverence. Hailing from a magical world dubbed the Elsewhere, Fae come in all shapes, sizes, and scuttles of life.
A human may be unexpectedly swapped with a Changeling Fae. It happens. The Treaty says no severe harm shall come to or from the Changeling, and that the Taken human may be retrieved at the end of the semester. However, human, Fae, and Other will be caught up in a potentially disastrous Changeling exchange that will lead to an emergency rescue mission in the Elsewhere. Those on both sides of the divide will be tasked with helping one another with wit, bravery, knowledge, diplomacy, and of course, Deals.
Re: QUESTIONS
The Fairy Circles in the Forest are usually dangerous because they actively suck people in, but Foxglove, Daneel's overlay, was putting plant fences around Fairy Circles last week for safety. I doubt he covered every single one in the Forest, he may have only done the parts closest to campus, but I think it should be safer. Alternatively, a Fae or someone with Dimensional Senses could sense and help avoid all of them.
It’s worth noting that Quila's overlay, Rowan, can sense when the shards are being placed or moved, since she's a forest Fae who looks out for the interests of the Forest.
Re: QUESTIONS
(I mean, technically she's probably getting a lot of individual pings lumped together for the shards themselves, but breaking down the mechanics that finely is probably not useful and would get weird fast.)
