Valyrian steel: who has the swords that can defeat white walkers?
Переглядів 8,877,680
День томуIt looks like white walkers are the big threat to Westeros in Game of Thrones Season 8 - and one of the only things that can stop white walkers are Valyrian steel swords. Where are all the Valyrian blades in Westeros, and how might they play into the future of Thrones?

FAQ: - Wights (zombies) can be killed with fire, but we've never seen a white walker (icy blokes) killed by fire - only by dragonglass or Valyrian steel - Yes, in the real world, longswords are longer than bastard swords. But in ASOIAF, bastard swords are longer than longswords. (Jon VIII, AGOT) - Yes, in the tv show, Tywin hires a Volantene smith to reforge Ice. But in the books, it's Tobho Mott. (Tyrion IV, ASOS) - Yes, in the tv show, Brienne names Oathkeeper. But in the books, Jaime names Oathkeeper. (Jaime IX, ASOS) - No, Arya's sword Needle is not Valyrian steel. It's regular steel forged in Winterfell. - No, the Iron Throne isn't Valyrian steel - Yes, Dawn is cool as fuck, but it's never referred to as Valyrian steel. Yall can stop commenting about this stuff now 😶

My take on Valyrian steel -- First start with dragonglass (obsidian) being the only other material that can kill a White Walker. Maybe glass made with fire is the magical opposite of glass made from cold. The latter being ice, which is what the White Wallker's blades are made of. Regular steel won't kill a White Walker, but Valyrian steel can. I have to believe then that Valyrian steel is an amalgam of steel and dragonglass. How could this be achieved and why could only ancient Valyria pull this off? I have found examples of where people have tried to amalgamate obsidian and iron. It does not work to create uniform product. The result is iron mixed with crystals of some really strange minerals. But what if for the purpose of the story, the Valyrians were able to achieve an amalgamation, but it took a really hot fire to pull it off. The technology of the GOT era would limit the heat sources for a blacksmith to wood, charcoal, and coal. But the Valyrians had another heat source that only they had access to, that being dragon fire. From what is said of the destructive force of dragon fire in the books, it is very, very hot. So if dragon fire is the ultimate secret of how Valyrian steel is made, then only the ancient Valyrians had access to it and when Valyria was destroyed, the secret was lost and the dragons eventually died off (at least in the more western part of the known world) thus no more new Valyrian steel.

@barttorbert5031 2 роки тому
@@Ballin4Vengeance I think you are correct. Modern attempts to merge metal with obsidian never work. You get a mass that is part one and part the other. I am comfortable with the "magic required" idea because at the point of time where Game of Thrones is set, magic has been lost and is just then reviving. So before this, making Valyrian steel was not possible.
@Ballin4Vengeance 2 роки тому
@@barttorbert5031 I have a theory that it can have something to do with where or how the iron is mined/acquired. Maybe valyrian iron having special characteristics due to forming in a volcanic enviroment, which would explain us having no such thing available to the current world(we don’t know of an active volcano in the known world). It could also be the extreme case that the ore was taken in form of molten lava right from one of the Fires, but that’s a stretch even for ASoIAF.

2 small theories after relistening to this years later: 1) Those daggers that Euron brought could be fake. With Valyrian steel being legendary and having a specific look, gotta think some people over the centuries would make lookalikes for profit. so Euron picked some up wholesale or looted them and found their true value. 2) Just thinking the renaming of swords could happen if a duel ended and the winner claimed the Val steel and renamed it. Or when Andal and First Men intermarried, bringing in an ancestral blade from one family and renaming it could have been a way to bind the families.

@Faretheewell608 8 місяців тому
@@GeekMasterGM we have not been told enough about the fabled sword that was tempered in a woman's blood. You have Dawn's history correct. The comet that heralded all the magic has the same core as Dawn. Dawn can end the magic/sorcery. Anyway, that is my theory, formed after reading the first book.

It turns out Jorah's reaction to seeing Jon with Longclaw is extremely mild-mannered and sympathetic.
@22steve5150 5 років тому
I think he was just happy knowing that John avenged his father's murder using Longclaw and that the sword is in possession of the king in the north, who Jorah can probably tell right away is an abnormally good and moral man for someone in such a seat of power.
@hiphopaddict007 5 років тому
@@22steve5150 Exactly. Add that to the fact that Jon Snow (Targaryen) immediately attempted to return Long Claw to Jorah when he met him in Season 7. I think in Jorah's eyes this act of kindness only furthered his resolve that the sword was in the right hands.
@nickdentoom1173 5 років тому
Its also because of Jorah's actions in the past that he feels he doesn't deserve the sword, but aside from that: If Jon offers it to Jorah, he also has to offer it to Lyanna Mormont.

@stephenc.4319 2 роки тому
The Valyrian daggers are only thrown about and given away lightly by Euron. There's few if any other characters in Westeros who would be giving away such valuable blades like it was nothing. So that's why Tywin couldn't just buy up daggers to make a Valyrian sword. And they're also probably also scarce, apart from Euron's and LIttlefinger's daggers, I don't think any others are mentioned anywhere.

C'mon ASX! Needle is no less storied blade: 1. It was a token gift forged for a little girl on the order of her bastard brother and was never really meant to kill anyone. 2. It made the little girl a bloody killer at an age of 9 which beats Sandor by 3 years and he was a healthy boy. 3. It became the hope for a little scared child and helped her to survive the streets of one of the shitiest cities in the Westeros. 4. Bloody Others know what kind of(or rather whose) teeth Polliver used to pick with it. 5. It was reunited with it's rightful master by a twist of fate consumating the union with the blood of the offendors like a true balde should. 6. It is a tool and a symbol of Arya's vengeance which she refuses to discard even at the behest of the Kindly Man. 7. It's going to bloody kill some more people before the story ends.

Season 7 spoilers! If you haven't seen the episode as of 8/20, don't read. She's...10? Jorah has been gone since at least 7 seasons (years), and was in prison before that. I doubt she's ever seen him, even as an infant. She won't recognize him, though his honor may bind him to apologize. Now that there's evidence of walkers and how powerful they are, a skilled swordsman will be defended by Jon as necessary. If they're calling for an ending of human combat until the walkers are killed...he's probably safe. He was probably safe since the woman with dragons is his closest friend anyway.

Two thing to say here: 1. I think Valyrian steel is made by merging regular steel with a dragon lords blood or by using steel in some other form of blood magic 2. Perhaps Dawn (the sword of house Dayne) could kill a White Walker as it is known to have similar properties to Valyrian steel. Maybe Valyrian steel comes from space just like the metal Dawn is made of.

Potentially, yes, but there are a few problems, first and foremost being that right now he doesn't have the time, the White Walkers are too close. Another problem is how his abilities work, he can watch the Master Smiths of old Valyria work but he can't participate himself, it's a big difference watching a video of work being done and doing it yourself. And lastly, I'm pretty sure a major component of making Dragon Steel (the other name for Valyrian Steel) is Dragon Fire, currently there are only two around, neither available for smith duties

The way I understand the dagger situation is that nobody is willing to part with any amount of valyrian steel for any amount of money, keeping Tywin from buying any amount of it to reforge. In fact, I believe at one point the books specifically reference how even broke noble families will never sell their Valyrian blades. Euron, being the magic-obsessed raider that he is, located the daggers, which, while more common than full swords, would still be considered priceless, but he claims them with iron, not gold, killing their owners to assemble his badass loot pile.
