The Valyrian Armory

Blackfyre, Valyrian Sword of Jon Snow as read in the fanfiction The Ghost by GreedofRage/WrathofAvarice. It is Theorized that Aegor kept the sword in his possession until his dying day and the sword remained the property of the Golden Company. Rather than Sell the blade or return it, the men loyal to Aegor and house Blackfyre kept it in hopes of one day giving the blade to the one who would lead them to reclaim their place in Westeros. In the Ghost, the blade was seized by Myles “Blackheart” Toyne and the hilt redone to match his House’s sigil. He fell in battle and a young Jon Snow, an exile after being resurrected after his murder, found the blade and took it as his. Together with his brother in arms and his mentor, Jon Snow traveled to Tolos and paid a smith to give the sword a new hilt and had it made to resemble the sword of his mentor and friend, Baelgor Aekylosh. Once it was discovered that Jon could use Valyrian magic of Conjuring fire like Baelgor, he trained and learned to set hiss word’s blade aflame with black flames that cast shadow instead of light!

This was number three in the designs I’ve done. I now understand why concept artist do so many designs, or at least half understand. One design isn’t enough, you want to do more and try more with what you have to work with. This has become my favorite of the three I have done. Some of the inspiration came from Zar’roc, the sword of Morzan, Brom, Eragon, and Murtagh from the Eragon book series, the movie version.

Damnation, Valyrian Steel Sword of House Bracken. A greatsword not as famous as Ice of House Stark or Brightroar of House Lannister, but to the Blackwoods the sword is well known for it has taken the lives of many of their House among the great many feuds of rivals. Unknown to many, there was a small time when peace was between House Bracken and House Blackwood. In that time both Houses aquired Valyrian Steel weapons. But it only took one foolish act and a misunderstanding for both weapons to kiss in battle and lay death to many who had once found peace and friendship.

Wrath, Valyrian Axe of House Lipps. Every House has a history, some notable members throughout time that have marked their place. But none are from House Lipps. A House forever loyal, standing since it’s founding, and prosperous enough to acquire a Valyrian Steel weapon that has seen it’s share of blood and battle. Wrath has taken the live of commonfolk, soldiers, nobles, even royalty. But Only the axe is what is remembered and not the one who wielded it. Some regard the weapon as the tongue of House Lipps since they are a House believing that action speaks louder than words.

Blackfyre, Lost Valyrian Steel Sword of Houses Targaryen and Blackfyre.

Honor, Valyrian Sword of House Westerling. Once long ago, this sword was decorated with fine jewels when House Westerling thrived. But as the years went by and the Westerlings became poorer and poorer, they pried the gems out and sold them for what they could. Tywin Lannister even gave them an offer for the blade when attempting to replace Brightroar. However, the Westerlings would not for the sake of their pride.

Weeping Heart, Valyrian Steel Sword of House Rykker. Rumor has it that House Ryker originally owned a warhammer that was one that could rival Robert Baratheon’s. But for reasons unknown, it was reworked into a sword.

Avenger, Valyrian Sword of House Graves. Despite the name, the sword has never done any form of ‘avenging’. It is a hand and half sword that is considered very plain looking and if in its scabbard it could not be noticed as a weapon worth giving a second glance to. Such design was intentional after some Valyrian Weapons had been stolen by Ironborn,

Bleeding Tear, Lost Valyrian Steel Spear of House Toyne. Borrel Toyne followed his King Argilac Durrandon to battle against the forces of Aegon Targaryen. Both King and Lord each carried legendary spears into battle but both disappeared when their bodies where recovered among the dead.

Cessation, Valyrian Sword of House Grimm. The sword is famously known for the gemstone nestled in the guard that reflects different colors on different days. The sword was a gift from the Gardeners to the Grimms for their constant duty as the protectors from Ironborn Invaders for centuries.

Chaos Prince, Valyrian Sword of House Rogers. Back in the days of the Storm Kings, there was a great contest of champions held by House Durrandon. Arlan Durrandon fended off a fleet of slavers and found the Valyrian Steel blade among there treasures. Given that House Durrandon possed a Valyrian Weapon of their own, Arlan decided to use the blade as a prize to see who the mightiest warrior in all of the Stormlands was. A lone hedge knight lost his leg in the contest but took first place. His name was Roger, born on a farm but grew up a squire. He became the founder of House Rogers and despite his injury, served as a Master at Arms for King Arlan Durrandon.

Crowning Day, Valyrian Sword of House Dark, formerly House Hollard. Originally the sword of House Hollard, this blade was a well-known treasure that was present for many battles and feats of great knights who carried the name Hollard. One of the richest decorated blades in all of Westeros. However, for siding with the Darklyns during the defiance of Duskendale, Crowning Day was confiscated as payment for their treachery and awarded to House Darke for their loyalty to the crown.

Dark Master, Valyrian Steel Sword of House Hoare. The last one known to have possession of this feared blade was Harren the Black. But when Aegon descended on Harrenhal with is dragons and the last of the Hoare’s melted with their castle, there was no trace of the blade. Some say that the Dragonfire melted the blade into nothing but this was a false suspicion given that the charred corpses of the Hoare’s remained. Others think that the blade was stolen by a thief working for Aegon and the blade was forged into the Iron Throne. Whatever the case, the sword has never been seen since.

Daybreak, Valyrian Steel Claymore of House Ashford. At a autumn tourney in the first years of Aegon I’s rule, the Lord of Ashfordheld a tourney in which he himself participated in. He chose to use his family’s ancestral sword rather than a fine castle forged blade which proved to be a foolish decision. He was unhorsed in the final joust and lost his armor, horse, and blade to his opponent. Daybreak went two decades out of the hands of House Ashford before it was won back through the same means of it original loss. Since then, no Ashford has risked its use in tourneys but battle and war only.
