We're back with more WoBs, and this time it's the last of the Dragonsteel 2023 Words of Brandon. Today we have a grab bag of a bunch of random stuff, like kandra babies, stabbing Hoid with atium, Harmony lying, and the IDENTITY FIELD returns.

This episode we have Ian (WeiryWriter), Evgeni (Argent), and Grace (thegatorgirl).
