A topic too great to be contained to a single episode, the deep-dive into Cosmere dragons continues!

It's a big topic, and one too great to be contained by a single episode. Today we're doing a deep dive on all the info we have about dragons in the Cosmere, talking about lifecycles and abilities.

It's been a while since we've had Brandon on Shardcast, and after the release of Wind and Truth, we are super excited to welcome him back.

It's time to talk about the three Stormlight Lost Tales, the Storydeck stories that came out as card packs at Dragonsteel Nexus. The three are Elsecaller (the Jasnah story during Words of Radiance), King Lopen the First of Alethkar (Lopen and Elhokar at the ending of Words of Radiance), and The Chasmfriends Get a New Pet! (a noncanonical children's story). Dragonsteel later sold the cards separately, but are sold out now. But we hope you enjoy this episode anyway! Listen on to see what we thought of these stories. Episode does contain some Wind and Truth spoilers during Elsecaller and Lopen segments. This episode we have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), and Ene (AonEne)!
