I love the way you distinguish each of the blades in your art - especially due to not having official images of a bunch of them! Glad to have you back buddy :)
@@fantasyhaven1 I got a question for you is it possible that you could do a video series of a person from our world appearing in the Game of Thrones universe, but being born in the house of Blackwood and use the knowledge Game of Thrones to prepare the coming of the white walkers and the queen of the dragons and could you do it in the styles of the animation of your videos
I love how Tywin is begging anyone a literal mountain of gold for their sword, and still doesn’t get it, while Jeor Mormont gives Jon his ancestral sword for saving him
I think it makes sense still, because Jorah left such a bad taste in his father's mouth that Jeor literally took Jon for his "heir" just so he could pass Longclaw to a better person. Also, there's the fact that Longclaw was at the Wall, so is not like House Mormont lost anything, they already didn't had her, and if it sounds crazy to take a valiryian steel sword to the Wall, Dark Sister was also there at some point and went missing, and Dark Sister belonged to the Royal Family.
Fun fact about Harras Harlaw. That bit mentioned during the taking of the shield forgoes a really badass point. Harras beating 7 opponents back to back (slaying 5) allows him to conquer the entire island and seize the castle. That's right, the guy literally conquers an entire goddamn island BY HIMSELF. What a madlad.
I heard a theory that because of the way he took greyshield that when the reach come to take the shield islands back they’ll spare him due to his not being a total wanker energy
This moment was a highlight for me when I read Feast! The guy was just there winning 1v1 against averyone to the point where the Septon said: alright, this is ridiculous, the gods want him to take the island, let's open the gates. 😂
@@MyCarnageExtreme "The Knight took Grimston by himself. He planted his standard beneath the castle and defied the Grimms to face him. One did, and then another, and another. He slew them all... well, near enough, two yielded. When the seventh man went down, Lord Grimm’s septon decided the gods had spoken and surrendered the castle.” I can't stop gushing about how utterly AWESOME this part is.
Zolo the Fat has a regular Arakh. It’s Caggo Corpse Killer that owns the Valyrian Steel Arakh. He uses it at Astapor and in the dragon pit of the great pyramid in Meereen to kill a Brazen Beast. 100% Zolo has a regular arakh
Love the fact that after reforging Ned Stark’s Valyrian sword, Tywin then gave one of them to Joffrey, who proceeded to name it with an edgiest name ever “Widow’s Wail” and used it to strike on a formidable enemy: a book.
In a way you could say both swords symbolize catlyen and rob , widows wail symbolizes catlyens greef with the ruin of her family, while oathkeeper symbolize robs breaking of an oath that leads to his downfall.
It makes sense: a battle axe relies on the weight of the blade to pierce armor and cuts limbs, but Valyrian steel is light and sharp edge, so it's not a perfect fit for such purpose.
@@giacomoromano8842 A battle axe is not gonna pierce armor. No blade can cut through armour, thats why weapons like maces and warhammers were developed. Also you dont want your weapon to be heavy.
@@xX_MasterFinn_Xx A Battle Axe, however, has significant blunt force behind it. Unlike most swords, you can break bones without even piercing through the armor with Axes.
I know it was actually pretty rare, but I like to imagine a scenario where Valyrian steel was as common to the Valyrian as hydrocarbons are to us. Person from a dystopian future where civilization has been factory reset: "This is my family's ancestral bow, Moon Piercer! It's made from a lightweight yet strong material that's now impossible to make! My family slew the dread wight Fanagoria to liberate this weapon! It is considered a priceless artifact in these lands!" Person from modern day: "You mean that compound bow? Yeah it's nice but we used to sell those for like 750 a piece at Cabela's."
Love all the redesigns this video all of them upgrades and all the new characters. In particular really like the Florent Bastard, the Blue Fox looks really good. I’ve always found Tywin’s relationship with Valyrian Steel quite odd: he’s annoyed House Lannister doesn’t have one, trying to buy one on at least three occasions from less wealthy Houses but all turn him down. But why is he? Given all we’ve known about them, none of the big Houses except at the time House Stark have one and two of them Greyjoy and Targaryen lost theirs. And then when he does manage to get two of them, he gives them away to Joffrey and Jaime! Jaime I can understand, Tywin sees him as his heir, but Joffrey! Come on Tywin at least keep one for yourself mate. Also this is a headcannon but I definitely think he tried to buy Longclaw and Lady Forlorn.
You do understand that rare doesn’t mean nonexistent and Jon is a fictional character with a supposed arc that will theoretically one day have an ending, right? Like a main character who will have some sort of relationship with an important valerian steel sword is gonna come across a couple; it’s a fictional narrative and there’s this cool thing called foreshadowing
When HotD is over I would love to see the reigns of Aegon III and Viserys II animated in your style, It's a fascinating period of Westeros' history and I am in no way trying to get you to animate Sandoq the Shadow's epic stand on the drawbridge to Maegor's Holdfast
Glad to have you back, so close to 50k. Really feel like GRRM needs to give some more houses Valyrian steel weapons; the stormlands especially, with their martial tradition, feels like Marchers especially should have them. Caron, Swann, Trant, Morrigen, Connington...although maybe Connington will get one? And some loser houses, too. It would be fun if House Rosby had a Valyrian steel sword. Nightfall is the coolest in the main story IMO. Isn't Caggo Corpsekiller of the Windblown the one with the Valyrian steel arakh?
Not sure if you’ve already made one and I just can’t find it but would love a video on the history of house Karstark. I really liked the Alice plot line in Dance at the wall with Jon and would love to know more about their history, and with the Starks in particular
Lord Haven has returned!! Lady Forlorn is my favorite, can't beat the heart in the pummel. Also that sigil goes so hard, three ravens holding three hearts, SWOON. But I also love that he made the most intriguing, tickliest octopus sword. 🤍🤍
@@Nickmona5 Take comfort in the fact that the steel didn't quite bend to his will by having the red dye blend into it - a reminder of the Stark blood spilled
Actually there might be a VS sword in Dorne. The song “The Dornishmans Wife” speaks of a blade of black steel, which could be in reference to a VS blade.
So, that's a total of 18 swords (one having been turned into two others, so 17 existing ones), one horn, one mask, one rod, one circlet, one axe and an unspecified number of daggers. That's actually a fairly low number if there's really supposed to be "a few thousand" Valyrian steel weapons in the setting.
Especially interesting that none of the other great houses other than the Starks still have one, although I suppose Robert managed to make do with his regular old warhammer quite well.
I have a theory: in the days of the Empire of Valyria, Valyrian Steel weapons were at least affordable even by the minor nobility, as we see with house Celtigar, and the Andals originated from Essos and moved around the time the Valyrian Empire was at its apex. My theory is that, whenever a warrior with a Valyrian weapon died, one of the Andals knights would claim that weapon, and when they brought them to Westeros, whenever a knight with a Valyrian steel weapon was defeated by First Man warriors, they would take the weapon themselves. This is a good explanation of how many (relatively) minor and poor houses have such weapons, the Mormonts especially.
Tbh, I'd want to have a Valyrian Steel Spear. Imagine the wicked weapon you could make with Valyrian enchantments added onto it? If the Martells had a Valyrian Spear, that would've been awesome. Likely as a prize of war from their last conflict with the Dragonlords, before they had to flee. Plus, would've killed the Mountain that day had he thrust it in the same spot but with a Valyrian Steel tip instead
Loved tge video man but can you do a video on Howlend reed he didn't get much screen time in the show because he is pretty interesting and mysteries character
Most Valyrian steel weapons went lost in the Dance of the dragons era, if you read the book you can read and hear some were stolen and never been seen again. If those weapons were found before the Long Night more great warriors would have better weapons against the Night King
I know this is about Valyrian steel but it just occured to me that Lady Catelyn swore to Brienne to never task her anything that would bring her dishonor. Stoneheart is the oathbreaker should does not let Brienne stand for Jaimes honor. I think the Mother still in Cat will regonize that she owes Brienne that much.
A question Heaven, have you considered the idea of making a video in the style of "the real Christopher Cole?, taking into account many changes that this one has compared to its version in the book
Saw this and instantly thought of the Celtigar Valyrian Steel Axe, Calamity. 🦀 🦀 🦀 House Celtigar not being more prominent is still weird to me since they helped House Targaryen and Velaryon set up the kingdom. They never even married into either to my knowledge.
One piece of the story that kinda felt lazy to me was Tobho Mott. Tywin needed Ice reforged and conveniently a master Qohorik smith who can rework Valyrian steel operates right in King's Landing, c'mon. And he also employs King's bastard? Makes me wonder what was Tobho Mott up to?
