A list of the Valyrian steel swords in “Game of Thrones” reveals the amount of magical armament heading North to join Jon Snow and Daenerys in their war against the Night King.
Only two weapons are effective against the Night King, his White Walkers and the army of the dead: dragonglass and Valyrian steel. The armies of Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen began excavating dragonglass from beneath Dragonstone midway through Season 7—s o that half of the combat plan is covered—but the ultra-rare Valyrian steel has been spread across Westeros.
Jon Snow’s Valyrian steel sword, Longclaw, was given to him by the Commander of the Night’s Watch before him, Jeor Mormont , after Snow saved him from a wight. Jeor changed the pommel from a bear to a white wolf. Before passing to Snow, Longclaw belonged to House Mormont, which had passed it down over five hundred years. Jeor had hoped to pass the sword to Jorah , but his son was caught dealing in slaves and fled Westeros to avoid execution by Eddard Stark.
Tywin Lannister , who had long schemed to get his hands on Valyrian steel , burnt Ice’s wolf-fur scabbard and had a blacksmith from Volantis make two new swords from Ice.Since the destruction of Ice revealed Valyrian steel can still be manipulated by craftsman, it’s possible some of the blades on this list could be reforged or repurposed. If Gendry is a skilled enough blacksmith to work with Valyrian steel, maybe he could come up with a weapon worthy of killing an ice dragon.
The other sword Tywin forged from Ice was a wedding present to his grandson, Joffrey Baratheon . Joffrey, the sadist king, named it Widow’s Wail. Before he was poisoned at his own wedding feast, Joffrey only ever used the sword to chop apart a book gifted him by Tyrion and cut open a pie. The sword presumably passed to King Tommen, but wasn’t seen on Game of Thrones again until Season 7, when Jaime wore it to Highgarden, where Olenna Tyrell had some choice words to share about Joffrey.
