Valyrian Steel? Dime a dozen.
Dawn? Only one of its kind.
Dawn us valyrian steel bruh
@@edwardklein3093 Its' not tho. Martin even says so in this interview. It was forged from metal taken from a meteorite.
Its magical potential is untested, in the time frame of the series. It can easily do what Valyrian Steel is implied to do, and then some. At the very least, it has the same durability, and agelessness.
Dime a dozen? I think you mean nine a penny.
@@edwardklein3093 no it ain’t
George: who knows what magical properties a sword from a fallen star could have
Us: I don't know George! Please. tell. us!!! (Heavy Breathing)
Guess we'll never know...
Just kidding, waiting for The Winds of Winter is the only thing keeping me alive right now
@@flowerwithamachinegun2692 Well in that case your might stay alive for a whiiiiile.

Watch this series for the answer.
TheFlamingLion//// HotlionFox not necessarily, what with the quarantines and all. I think that’s what he meant anyway
Chris Kacso try wheel of time it’s what I’ve been doing lol, but I’m almost finished an no winds
Dawn needed to return. It's so cool.
I was so fucking angry when they cut it from the ToJ scene in the show. It felt like such a slap in the face to all the fans, to depict one of the greatest warriors in Westeros' history whose entire identity was wrapped up in the fact that he wielded a particular sword, and then just cutting that out entirely...
Damn, now I'm getting angry just thinking about it lol
IIRC Dane does in fact wield Dawn in the ToJ scene, one of his swords bared its embellishments just without it's faint glow or its milky glass appearance. agreed tho, Dawn in all its authentic appearance would have been godly
@@paulryan582 ToJ....? Sorry it might be obvious, but I can't think of what it might mean.🤷🏼♂️
@@lueysixty-six7300 Tower of Joy. The scene where Dane fights Ned just before Jon's birth
@@paulryan582 Well considering the fact that Dawn is a huge two-handed greatsword similar in size to Ice, so I don't see how that's possible.
If I could ride one dragon, the answer is Danny
As for what sword I wish I weilded, answer to that is Podrick's
genius
This comment is underrated
Lmao
I don’t get why I you would want podricks sword, is that because he’s hung like mandingo
@@SuperJohnnyuk that’s exactly why
I hope this man is well protected from corona
Maybe now he will actually write
@@JAKE-ng8yr you mean your waiting on his fat ass to write a book???🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
He is, he's a few miles from me in the mountains.
@Notorious
Colorado. Because he has driven past me in my neighborhood, been spotted at local restaurants (before everything closed) and has said in blog posts that he's holed up in his mountain retreat writing, and not socializing.
The Secret Service should send agents in tuxedos and avoid any human approaching him at 61 metres!!!

when did Robb get a POV chapter?

@@russellfisher1303All of Robb's story is told through Catelyn's POV
@@magnuslabillois1925 oh
@@cheekofnutI think they meant that finally Robb was taking part actively in a chapter rather than just being mentioned fighting somewhere else for one and a half books
I've heard that in fact were George in Westeros, he would wield the legendary Fork of Hot Pie. 💪
I think by looking at him he appears to have experience wielding such a legendary utensil lol.
You mean Winterhell?
@djmikio
And you would wield "The Pitchfork of Stable boys." Because picking up animal shit is the only skill you have.
I would have Dawn melted down and made into an elegant dinnerware set. And I would tell Hot Pie not to forget the damn gravy.

The real answer is No Swords. Why wield a sword when you can wield a fork or spoon where ever hotpie is baking.
😅😅😂🤣🤔🤔🤔
It's obviously the main plotline.
Best comment
Arthur Dayne saying, "The Kingsguard does not flee!" sent shivers down my spine. That scene was very very well written!
played, it was well played. it was aigh-ish writing at this point, which on the other hand makes it best moment of that season
Luckily George already wields the most powerful sword, a pen!
GRRM is the gods. Hear him laugh, and fear. For he holds the rocks which crush the beetles.
Nice one
More likely be using a keyboard to smack people around
♥️
@@foxc8646 none were safe since the RGB wars
The keyholders were merciless, wires strewn about
Walls 'a' crumble
I want to play a D&D game run by George it would be stupid epic.
And we'd all probably die. Which I am OK with.
Elden Ring lol
Listen it’s not the ending that counts, it’s how horrible and gruesome it is.
The RP would be near impossible to maintain because the storytelling would just drag you in as someone who listens instead of participating:
DM GRR Martin:
"Discomror? Your turn"
Me: W-wait what?
Still a better D&D than the ones we got.
D&D DM'd by GRRM (That is literally too many acronyms) would be terrifying. Imagine you just go to enter a random tavern, or open an innocuous chest, and you just hear him quietly chuckle under his breath, "Roll initiative."
"Who knows what magic properties fallen stars bring to Earth?"
I'm impressed that the fandom doesn't talk a lot about this quote. Dawn is going to be important.
I think only sword to kill night King even valariyan sword will fail i expected this to happen back in season 5
going to be important? Lol. books are never finishing
@@hameed My theory is that he's been finishing both books, rather than just The Winds of Winter...I've got no real foundation to base it on, just a personal theory lmaoo. It would make sense though, given all the other books released much closer together
@@nitinkapoor1369 the night king is an alien
"Dawn is going to be important."
Maybe it would be if the books ever came out, but they won't. I think it's actually going to take him dying for the brainlets to realize they ain't getting more ASOIF. Even then you people might start speculating that he finished them and they'll be released eventually. It's pathetic, rip off the band aid and realize he has failed us all.
Sir Arthur Dayne would approve
"Sometimes it's very painful for me to kill them. They're my children, for good or ill."
George's application to adopt did not go as well as he'd hoped.
Underrated comment
I love just listening to him talk. He is entirely at ease with himself and his ideas.. By that I mean, he is unhindered by ego when fielding questions, or just recounting his processes. He is not afraid of ever appearing foolish.. I feel because he has sufficient confidence in his thoughts and views, he doesn't feel compelled to bolster them with "manliness" or trying to appear a big shot.
Paradoxically, it is through this that I look up to him.
Well said. He's a very good speaker
It's not paradox, I believe True self confidence isn't pushy, it's founded on complexes "machoism" that is
Liberal hippie
Hang out with any old Dead head like George and you'll see that a lot. Me thinks George has dissolved his ego at some point or another. In fact I believe thats where his inspiration for shade of the evening came from as well
At least George keeps tabs on what he’s written about the characters. I can think of two certain show runners who could learn from that...
Maybe search and replace what species your writing about.

I'm starting to think even you don't know George.
This channel is honestly the coolest thing, thank you for uploading these ❤️
I think it’s pretty amazing that while there are many different fantasy writers, some very different than Tolkien, that he still influences them today. I love finding those kinds of connections between different authors.
I’d say pretty confidently that it’s impossible for a modern fantasy writer to not be influenced by Tolkien. While there were already existing story tropes from stories such as King Arthur and Beowulf, they were all mastered and perfected for narrative by Tolkien. It’s simply impossible to write proper narrative without using those basic tools that are so ‘Tolkien’ in nature.
1:03 Dawn might be very important in the upcoming books ( if they come of course 🙄).
Ahmed dawn is lightbringer
@@TheAnonyXhd Lucifer means Lightbringer. The YT channel has great content.
@@timocruz510 I've listened to some of his stuff, he's fucking awesome.
@@timocruz510 Lucifer = Morning Star, but close enough
@@lueysixty-six7300 Ive seen it mean Lightbringer, Light Bearer, Dawn Bringer... all very similar
DAWN IS LIGHTBRINGER!
@Dominic ey that is dawnbreaker, but lightbringer is the sword of the legendary hero, azor ahai in the books, made by piercing through the heart of your loved one
i mean it could be , but it can be that Dawn is the original Ice , its described as milkglass , and how u would name a white sword used to kill the others? maybe im wrong but its strange that Ice has that namee when valyrian steel has a darkest color than normal swords(black as smoke) ,while in the other hand Dawn forged with the metals of a fallen star , also in a Catelyn chapter on the first book she said Ie is a ceremonial sword
@@ashenone3050 unlikely. Dawn is a longsword, but ice is a greatsword. it was also in the stark family hundreds of years before Ned or Arthur dayne were ever born.
@@kebrongurara1612 true but dayne house is said that came to westeros following a fallen star , in the world of ice and fire it is said that maybe it was even before the first man arrived to westeros , the point im trying to make is , targraryens bring the valyrian steel like 350 years ago from the point in what we are now , that means Dawn has been in westeros at least 1000 years before Aegon the conquerer , maybe Dawn is Lightbringer , i mean during the long night westerosi didnt have valyrian steel , and in any place is said that Lightbringer was made of dragonglass, so the only sword i can think off is Dawn , or just some random sword using some kind of magic , i hope my broken english doesnt bother u( edit: House Dayne was supposed to be in westeros before even thee andals arrived , they claim the blood of the first men run through his veins , thats not something half of westeros an really say , even less the dornishmen , who are basically rhoynar and andals)
Jon is
Aegon always delivers quality.
Straight up, one of the best legit sources for this author.
I could listen to this legend talk all day.
Dawn = Lightbringer confirmed right here folks
The dragon I'd ride is Dany hehe
You're weird but respectable
@@wiedzmin8204 Haha :)
@@Blastanker you tripping, in this world the only age that matters is the age you start ovulating.
This is an amazing reply section.
😮🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔😒😒😒
I choose not sword. I choose King Robert's Hammer! :)
Can you lift it?
I love how he speaks about the series in the past tense, as if his work is remotely finished
A scary thought. Atleast another 10 years for George is needed
The scene in Anna Karani by Tolstoy where the reap the field with scythes is such a fine scene I always enjoy recalling it.
Anna Karani? Really?
OP’s a WNBA fan. Don’t blame them for their stupidity.
I've never read any of his books. It sounds like reading them would be quite an experienced. I feel immersed just by listening to him talk about it.
Do yourself a favor and read them. If you're not a big reader it may seem daunting; the books are thick, each between 1200 and 1500 pages I believe. But after you read them you'll be wishing they were each twice as long. They're simply fantastic.
@@jona.scholt4362 cool. Thnks
U should read em
Great books
Amazing books, just sansa chapters are a tough bit.
I loved that passage where the old priest described going to war
Wicked good scene!
I think we all knew the answer and many likely have already seen this before but we still click! Stay safe George! 🙏
Pods rod is something i would wield.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think this points to Dawn a bigger plot device than we've been lead to believe so far, personally I think it's the lightbringer.
Agree even the name is foreshadowing
I really enjoy Tyrion’s Trial for Joffrey’s Death, were we see how his actions and threats are used against him to make a somewhat reasonable case against him, even though he’s innocent of Joff’s death.
Before Elenna Tyrell confessed, I always sort of suspected that Tywin himself decided to cross Joffrey off the list. Thommen was more tractable and more willing to be taught.
I like the part in feast where brienne is taking in the view west in the crownlands. Just the aura he created through briennes observation. In a pinetree forest. No one else around anymore. Oh except this guy following. So quiet. Cliff sides. Etc.. Favorite. Oo and Reek 1 is the best opening to a chapter ever. Holy shit.
I've been watching a lot of Lucifer Means Lightbringer videos and I thought he was gonna say Dawn. And when he even highlighted that it's made from a meteorite I was like maybe LML really is onto something
Yup, same here.
Mazikeen is hot
Great channel 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dorne was always the most interesting place to me in Westeros. I always wondered if dorne was more ethnically closer to the martells then say the Danes lol As far as the whole region
Dorne is very interesting ethnically. There are actually 3 distinct ethnicities in Dorne. In the south eastern part of the country near the Broken Arm and the Greenblood River you have the Salty Dornish who have the most Rhoynish blood from their Rhoynar ancestors that came over with Princess Nymeria and her people when she came to Dorne after leaving Essos. Near the Red Mountains and by the western river known as the Torrentine you have the Stoney Dornish who have the most Andal and First Men blood from their ancestors who look like most of the rest of the Kingdoms. Then you have the Sandy Dornish. Man, I don’t even know how to describe them since they seem to be a culture all their own and don’t look like either the Stoney or the Salty but have a skin coloring more like African Americans. Dorne is a weird place with a few pretty distinct divides and I’m sure we will see more of it in the future books.
He did say the Danes shared similar looks with the targaryens yet no one else in dorne is described that way so I wouldn't be surprised if they're somehow connected to valeria
@Yarp Yarp “All three sorts seemed well represented in Doran’s retinue. The salty Dornishmen were lithe and dark, with smooth olive skin and long black hair streaming in the wind. The sandy Dornishmen were even darker, their faces burned brown by the hot Dornish sun. They wound long bright scarfs around their helms to ward off sunstroke. The stony Dornishmen were biggest and fairest, sons of the Andals and the First Men, brown-haired or blond, with faces that freckled or burned in the sun instead of browning.” That’s an exact quote from Tyrion’s inner monologue in Tyrion V A Storm of Swords and has also been spoken about in the Dorne section of A World of Ice and Fire. Maybe actually read the material before you try to correct someone on something...
Apparently Dorne is based on a mix of Spanish and Welsh history
It must be so weird having people geek out over something you thought up in your head only to be asked an opinion on which detail you made up you like the most.
Not surprising. When asked who would win a fight between Arthur Dayne and Barriston Sellmy, he said if they both had normal swords it would be a complete toss up. But if Arthur Dayne is allowed to wield Dawn, he wins.
I knew it! I know nothing about Martin nor have I read all of the books yet, but from what I read, Dawn is the most interesting sword.
This interviewer is incredible. Really awesome questions from the usual mundane.
Thought his answer would be Balerion and Dark Sister. I'll take my half-right as a win.
Warmed my heart to hear him call his characters his children
Pretty demented and gay tbh
This guy really know alot about game of thrones
no shit
I would choose a sword of the Others.
Also G.R.R Martin saying that the novel had become 12 different novels made so much sense!!!
Theres evidence that the Starks actually kept a sword of the white walkers and called it ice which is what the Valyrian Sword Ice is named after
I have heard this theory. But in the prologue of game of thrones the Others sword freezed and shattered a steel sword. So if someone touched one of those things wouldnt it freeze their hand off?
I don't get the impression human hands could even weild a sword of the others. They're described as being so cold they can shatter steel.
George you better finish your fucking book and release it, I don't wanna wait for this shit anymore.
He'd wield "Procrastinator"
I didnt know ab the dawn age swords glad I watched
Dude Sunfyre would be the only dragon I could want. A literal golden dragon with Heartsbane as my Valyrian steel sword
When John is saying bye at winterdwll aftwr bran had his accident, and he’s saying by to bran and cat is being horrible to him.... gets me every time I read it. So sad
I. LOVE. THIS. MAN.
Dawn is the ONLY answer.
I would love him a lot more if he would finish.
George RR martin. The true Lord of Light.
i love how logical he is in his thinking, other writer's might pick a certain dragon or sword for some quirky reason, but george is like "well i would pick the best dragon and best sword, obviously" 😂
George and his wonderful hats🎩. He always wears them 🤣
Which each sword is made of ice cream would be George's favorite. Or he would use the Incester! Sick man that he is...
The only correct answer is Dawn.
In a world with a few rare badass swords, it is the rarest and most badass
All of them
He is still pondering these questions instead of finishing the fucking books
I'd pick Caraxes (cause he is red) and DarkSister (cause cool name)
Caraxes is my favorite dragon too, and he has a badass nickname: 'the Bloodwyrm'. Dark Sister is cool, but I think Red Rain is cooler.
it was the dragon, and weapon of daemon targaryen the best millitary leader in the targaryen family
He clearly giving clues about the ending here. That dawn probably will be a significant part of the story
Unlike in Dumb & dumber season 8
Or he's just saying a meteor sword is cool.
Good on George for being a good sport. The same can't be said of Andrzej Sapkowski.
comments? For sure would have to dark sister after seeing deamon in hotd
The sword of the morning 🗡🌅
He makes me think of my grandfather
favorite sword? dawn.
hmmm, not so subtle subtlety lol. He always gives that answer, like dawn is special.
Of course he has a 9 min answer
Sunfyre would be amazing though, go with the shiny one instead of the big one
When asked about his sword George R.R. Martin should have said a quill.
I could see him using a White Walker or "Others" ice sword!
The answer was pretty clear from the beginning.
Definitely Dawn... The most unique sword in ASOIAF ... Ever rarer than valyrian steel
Host sounds like Piff the Magic Dragon 😂
I would want Ned because he’s the most loyal and the north is bigger than the other 6 combined I believe
I knew he was gna say dawn..I said it out loud a few seconds before he did
In the show I was hoping Jon was Ashara daynes and Neds bastard so they could have explored on House Dayne and have Jon possibly wield Dawn.
Title should have read: "George RR Martin on which sword he'd weild in Game Of Thrones...plus six minutes of other stuff".
Pfffft give me Breath of the Dying Ethereal Colossus Blade with the Whirlwind ability
It' amazing how all fantasy books and shows are at least a little bit inspired by Tolkien.
Tolkien was the pinnacle
As great and amazing as George is, Tolkien is just...on another level. He created so much, inspired books and films, and had his creations implemented into Dungeons and Dragons. Not to mention the symbolism and alagories tossed into his books that make you think while at the same time, not being pretentious. It's nearly perfect.
I knew it would be that sword
Is this a new interview for him or is it one of the convictions for the same book "fire and blood"?
Great answer. I think I would of went with hearts bane 2nd.
I'd guarantee that there are dope swords in Yi Ti or somewhere on Ulthros.
either nightfall or darksister
i'd love to read those chapters that never made it to the final books but first i'd need to read the whole thing before anyone dies of old age and then i'd need to reread it because i don't remember the gender of horses either
That's so cool I'd ride vermithor and also weild dawn. Come on a sword made from a meteorite!!? Hell yeah
Is this the guy that hosts that show on Netflix (love that show btw) where they tour old castles?? Dan Jones I think his name is
Please bring the Dawn Georgie..
He would wield a backscratcher
V steel was supposed to be special but then it got to common and he said welll now we need an extra extra special sword about all these special swords
I hope he has cloud backups of his computer files. Hard drives die, after all.
Gimme the fastest dragon with the sharpest sword
WOw. Tyrion met the shrouded Lord and I can't read about it!
It's funny I've always thought about which dragon and sword I would use and it's the same one's he'd use
The sword of the morning
Probably a giant Claymore made of summer sausage
Dawn is jons next sword when he becomes azor ahai confirmed
why do people keep saying this? nothing has been made of House Dayne outside of Darkstar. How the hell would Jon even get it? No one from Starfall has shown up. Even Darkstar isn't from Starfall, he's from a cadet house. And Edric is a child that hasn't done anything. In fact all of Dorne has done nothing in the entire series outside of House Martel.
Lightbringer? Could be
Yes, arthur dayne is my fav character. GRR wrote him as legendary character.
Blackfrye...The holder has a legit claim on the Iron Throne.
