Merry Christmas y'all! Thank y'all for being with us for another year, it's our 3rd birthday!
This is an episode I have been looking forward to doing! Glamis is an ancient castle that has it all! A monster heir, a grey lady ghost, clashes of clans, people getting walled up alive... Oh and it kinda looks like Hogwarts. Also it's the home to the Queen Mother's family. Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy this episode.
Thank you Tare for your review! Email the show at loreofthesouth@gmail.com so we can mail you, your little goodie bag.
And we have a new Patreon supporter! Tarryn, thank you for your support! If you'd like to help out the show, simply search The Lore of the South on Patreon.com
