[@Nuppersson]

There is very interesting and in my opinion believable fan theory that Dawn is the original Ice from the age of heroes and also is the sword used to defeat the white walkers for the first time. Makes both of them even more interesting. Also, Dawn is (likely) not valyrian steel but WAY older, like thousands of years older, than Valyria and said to be made of fallen star (meteorite), which it would likely have to be to be around way back in the day...

[@Keptaro]

Nightfall had little history but it's still quite special. It was looted by Dalton "The Red Kraken" Greyjoy from a corsair he slew. But instead of becoming the ancestral family sword of House Greyjoy, it ended up in the hands of Ser Harras Harlaw, a Ironborn who somehow became a knight

[@martinmullender-taeter5163]

well to somehow become a knight you need to worship the seven and get a knight to knight you ... easy for a good fighter, just say the words and get a knight to knight you... but thats not my point, most of the northern lancers are not knights, but they are the same thing without the pious name.... also ... fun fact, the Greyjoys are not knights either, they do have their elite fighters but they are not recognized as "knights"

[@SantomPh]

@@martinmullender-taeter5163 some northerners do get knighted, usually in battle. Jorah Mormont and Rodrik Cassel likely got their knighthood fighting for Robert or the Targaryens. It's very rare. Ser Harras Harlow probably grabbed the title

[@martinmullender-taeter5163]

@@SantomPh if you reread my comment then you would see i said "most", some people in the north do worship the Seven ... that is true, and therefore they would be knights, but it is a tiny insignificant portion, the only place where knights are common in the north is White Harbor and the Manderlys are from the south ... also im pretty sure many of the northern lancers and lords are indeed considered knights in the south and addressed as such, they are all elite heavy horse after all

You are correct, my Lord. Using B-rolls from the TV also put us in a risk of copyright claim, even though it's fair use only ^^.

[@September2004]

*Longclaw* Lyanna Mormont should’ve survived the show. She’s too powerful a ruler to be lost. Jon Snow should’ve then given Longclaw to Lyanna. Such a fierce leader should have a Valyrian sword. It makes sense. *Widow’s Wail* When Jon Snow goes to King’s Landing and show the wight to Cersei, he should’ve also explained that Valyrian Steel can kill the White Walkers. When Jaime Lannister abandons Cersei to go North, he should’ve stolen Widow’s Wail and then fought alongside Brienne with the other half of Ice, Oathkeeper. After the battle, he gives it to Jon Snow. Whether they merge the two back together is debatable. Perhaps after Brienne passes away. Or remake Ice but take a small part of it to create a Valyrian Steel version of Needle. *Heartsbane* Given to Samwell’s son who becomes a warrior so Randyll’s wish is granted that the sword is wielded by a warrior Tarly who happens to be half wildling. *Catspaw dagger* I think it should be Bran, since it was used against him and I want every Stark to have a Valyrian weapon, or Sansa since she shouldn’t have a sword but a dagger hidden in her clothing.

Saying that widow's wail was never used in combat, but what became of it? I don't think this has been explained either in the books or the tv-series

[@adamluther5836]

From the series, when Tommen enacted his literal interpretation of King's landing, the entire city was in chaos with Cersei quickly taking control. It's likely the sword was completely forgotten until likely buried in rubble from the city being burned down. We can only hope some very opportunistic Kingsguard or chamber maid stole it away when they saw everything falling apart.

[@generalgrievous3423]

​@adamluther5836 Wait but Jaime took Widow's Wail with him north and it was confiscated by the Unsullied if anything its likely with them still or taken by the surviving Dothraki back to Essos as a grand prize.

[@89StevieC]

House Baratheon doesn't have one but if they did, "Storm" would be a good name for it. Maybe an idea for a fanfic

[@EverythingExplained101]

It’s a good one, but a little too cliche for my liking. It’s just like the Targaryen naming their sword as “dragon” or “fire”. A better one would be something like “Thunder”^^

[@TheIronDuke9]

At least a couple of these blades have a damascus pattern (wood grain look) that indicates there was more than one type of steel used in the forging. So Widow's Wail and Heartsbane are not pure Valyrian or there would be no damascus pattern. I think the pattern is evident in a couple of other swords but I can't see clearly enough - it sure looks like there's a pattern in Catspaw as well. The damascus pattern is achieved by forging two or more different steels (steels with different carbon content) together and then folding them repeatedly until the folded layers produce a wood grain appearance. This is probably just a production choice because it makes the swords look distinct and awesome. Something that bothers me as a blacksmith though is how "forged" swords are often depicted being "cast" and poured into a mold. This is not how a sword is forged. Nobody fights with a cast iron sword. If you wanted to forge 2 new swords from 1 old one you would simple cut the old sword into 2 pieces and then heat until bright red and hammer those pieces out to make the shape of 2 new swords - no melting required. When the 2 new sword shapes have been hammered out the shape is refined by grinding and filing, then it's heat treated and tempered, then polished, then sharpened. But again, pouring liquid metal into a mold is a production choice because it looks really cool on camera

[@mraha9525]

The damascus pattern is not a production choice, it is was how valyrian blades are described in the book of I remember correctly. All valyrian blades are mostly dark with damascus look (it is not said like that but that's how i remember it)

For some reason I thought that all Valyrian steel swords of Westeros houses were gifts from Aegon the Conqueror. Completely neglecting that some of those houses didn't bend the knee
