Kimmy Hammons  •  Aloreing Podcast Episode • 7/25/2021

Argh you guys ready for some more nautical folklore this week? Kimmy dives deep into the lore of beautiful Slavic Water Nymphs known as Rusalka. Then Ryan discusses the Aspidochelone also known as the “Asp” Turtle. So whether you are out at sea or on land near a stream, keep an eye out for these mystical creatures and be wary because they will drag you down to the depths of the sea to Davy Jones’ Locker! We hope you enjoy this episode of Aloreing and can’t wait to see what you create.
