You can own Needle!

Post by Baradakas »

Check out valyriansteel.com

Nothing on here yet, but they have guaranteed that the most famous replicas will be made, i.e. Longclaw, Needle, Ice, etc.

"We have been working very closely with George R.R. Martin through each stage of the design process, and he has final approval on all sword designs to make sure they follow his vision of Westeros as closely as possible. "

Pretty cool.

Very cool, I especially liked all the Valaryian Steel quotes on the website.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

I think I'll pass, unless Needle can dice tomatoes and cut aluminum cans in half.

Just an update. There is a pic of what the steel for Longclaw will look like, as well as an recorded reading George did from ADOD! Also the crest to be used for Longclaw's plaque (which it will rest on.)

I am excited to see what they do for Needle, crest-wise. I mean, it will say a lot about Arya's character. Is she still a Stark? Is she something else? Since they're working with Martin directly it will be interesting to see what they come up with.
