Their occupation is shoemaker to the fairies. Legend has it that over two thousand years ago, they were mighty warriors. An evil magician and his army conquered Ireland in a battle. They banished these warriors to live underground. Years later, they emerged from the depths of the earth as leprechauns.
Leprechauns are dwarf-like creatures who strongly resemble men.
Some say they live inside a mountain. This giant cave has a door that can only be opened by a magic word, spoken by the Leprechaun King. Others believe they live in the roots of trees. Yet another rumor insists they live in hedgerows along the country lanes of Ireland. Which of these is true, I am not sure.
