Would probably be better served as VS swords but I like the idea.
Well sure, but the problem is where do you not only find the Valyrian steel, but the forgers who can actually work with it? Both are rather finite at the moment, unless they find a huge stash of it if they want to risk their lives by foraging the Doom.
Dragonglass is the answer here, along of course with the dragons. [Reply]
Sam stealing Hearthsbane is going to have huge implications down the road - either it will save him and Gilly from the WW's or it will be the death of his family. Possibly both. [Reply]

Well I was speaking specifically about Euron's suit of armor. I highly doubt any Westerosi houses will be comfortable with re-working their ancestral swords into arrow tips.
And I think it's been said that there are only two men that know how to re-work Valyrian steel.

She doesn't have much though, does she? And I think the Night's Watch lost all of Jon's stash at Hardhome.
With the Children gone it seems like it's basically down to the few Valyrian steel weapons left in the world.
It's also important to note that the dragon glass doesn't pierce the Walker's armor. I'd imagine Valyrian steel would. [Reply]

How about Euron as Azor Ahai?
He could be. There's not a lot to really show that the original Azor Ahai was actually a hero, other than the people of a fairly deprived city (Asshai) and religion (R'hllor) say so.
There's another legend about the Bloodstone Emperor that is vaguely similar to Azor Ahai, only he caused the long night by killing the woman in his story. [Reply]
Well she could find someone who could use her Dragons fire to make weapons, I'm assuming she's not skilled in smithing.
I'm thinking more along the lines of Dany is riding Dogo and he scorches an area. Perhaps fighting white walkers but it could be any battle, and someone on the ground discovers that the fire has melted rock into what looks like dragon glass. The glass finds its way to that chubby boy with the wildling wife and he does research on it. He finds and old manuscript that confirms the process. It's volcanic glass. It wouldn't require a smithy, they can chip arrowheads out of it like flint. They could also easily make daggers and put dragon glass points on pikes.

Lately I'm under the impression that Daenerys and Jon are red herrings. One of them being TPTWP would be too easy.
Who do you think Azor Ahai is? Or do you even think the prophecy will be fulfilled? [Reply]
