EP 2 | Small But Mighty
Kimmy Hammons  •  Aloreing Podcast Episode • 5/23/2021

We are excited to start doing some themed episodes! So this week we will be talking about two folklore creatures known for being small, but very mighty! Kimmy is going to discuss Scottish Brownies, and no.. not the sweet treat brownies! She will be deep diving into the ones that get commonly mistaken for as fairies. Then Ryan will discuss Dwarves, and how these worm-like creatures were given human life! We hope you enjoy this more light hearted episode of Aloreing, and like always we hope you have an Aloreing day!
