Video Description

Valyrian steel is the rarest and most coveted metal in the world of Westeros, forged in ancient Valyria with techniques long lost to history. Infused with powerful sorcery, these blades are sharper, lighter, and stronger than any other steel, capable of cutting through armor and remaining razor-keen for centuries. This video explores every known Valyrian steel weapon from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire and the Game of Thrones series, tracing their origins, owners, and the legendary events they shaped. From the greatsword Ice of House Stark to the infamous Blackfyre of House Targaryen, from Jon Snow’s Longclaw to the deadly Catspaw Dagger, each blade carries a legacy of blood and power. We examine weapons like Heartsbane, Lady Forlorn, Dark Sister, Brightroar, Orphan-Maker, and Lamentation, revealing their roles in wars, duels, and political intrigue. We also delve into the mystery of lost blades and explore fan theories about their possible reappearance in The Winds of Winter. This is the definitive guide to Valyrian steel, weaving together history, lore, and speculation to uncover how these legendary swords and their wielders changed the course of Westerosi history forever.

The ASOIAF Wiki has been used to confirm order of events and clarify discrepancies between sources. George R.R. Martin's blog posts have also been used as a source and like the wiki i to do consider this information canon. Any similarity of this video to the structure of these sources is a consequence of the subject matter of the video and limited sources dictating the way in which events played out with no room for interpretation. In some areas it can be very difficult to make the script 100% different as stated in the sources without just making it up which isn't the point of these videos. There are places it's more similar to the sources than i like but with no way to really spin it a different way, given in many case, it's physically the only way to approach the subject. Information strictly from the TV show has not been used in these video unless stated otherwise. The Dance Of The Dragons will be the focus of the plot of the new HBO spin-off House Of The Dragon coming in 2022. So if you want to learn the story before we see HBO's take on it then this will be a very long-running series. Game Of Thrones / House of the dragon are HBO shows based on George R R Martin's A Song Of Ice And Fire series. The information in this video comes from the books a world of ice and fire as well as fire and blood. ----------------------------------------------- SOCIAL MEDIA ------------------------------------------------ https://twitter.com/World0fWesteros https://www.instagram.com/Dylan_ellcome https://www.facebook.com/WorldOfWesteros ----------------------------------------------- ART LINKS ----------------------------------------------- The following link is for all the art that I use, if you see an image in this video a link to the source of it will be there, and the name of the artist if it's possible to find.
