Default Re: So... how to model certain weapons from a popular TV show

Ok, I wasn't sure how SJ handled properties that they don't have right to.

As for the earlier thread, much more is known about Valerian steel weapons now than in 2009.

Their price and rarity I think would make them more than just "very fine". Only about 200 are known in Westeros and most noble families don't even have one. Very few have two or more.

In various places in books and series they are described as lighter than other weapons of that type, that sharpening one would result in needing a new whetstone and perhaps a new hand, cleaving thru steel armor like a knife thru bread, notching quality steel weapons during a fight to the point of uselessness, that even impoverished houses would sell a daughter before selling a Valyrian weapon... They're worth fortunes.

A mere very fine weapon isn't that valuable.

They are also once of only two known ways of killing a white walker.... Probably are " of slaying" vs "the other" but that's rare enough to just be a plot point.

My campaign will be set prior to Aerys II Targaryen's madness.... current enough that source material is useful, far enough back that players aren't restricted much by canon. Characters will be members of a minor noble house and may have secondary characters for some parts.... a non-combat character player may also play one of the knight character's squires, that sort of thing, so everybody can take part in everything.
