Can You Leach or Nicroburst?

We haven't done Words of Brandon since July, and there's been a quite a lot to cover! This episode covers some random events, but also FanX in September and November's Dragonsteel Mini-Con. There's spicy stuff here: aethers, dragons, Lost Metal hints, Ian completely despairing... Enjoy! Next weekend we'll have part two where we primarily cover December's spoiler stream. This episode has Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), and Kadie (AonEne)!
