I'm a bit creeped out right now. You guys probably won't believe me, but the black rampant lion is my family's sigil. Our's has three crowns over the lion's head and our words are "patriotism leads us". It's a freaky coincidence.

 

Well you got that right at least.

 

We won't care either, really.

 

It's just as believable as your government insider knowledge.

 

Which I never claimed to have.

But that's off topic.

 

World Forum then whatever, but yes way off topic.

 

Everyone can go back far enough to find themselves a coat of arms, my family has a link to a old swedish noble line.

But enough about that.

 

So, Cxjenious, can we see that Coats of Arms? I'm really curious. The Valyrian Steel swords are really cool, but now in my head I can't stop thinking is shouldn't Harry have a spear as well? It takes far less metal than a sword, and dragon bone seems like ther perfect substitute to wood, making the spear really light and sturdy. And a spear is way better in mounted combat.

 

Are you welsh?

Depends.
It's mainly for charging enemy lines and pursuing them. You don't want a spear when you're engaged in melee combat.

 

Tell that to Oberyn Martell.

I hadn't thought about spears. They'd be a bit more feasible than a sword.

 

I just read the Way of Kings, so spears are cool with me.

Twelfth post down is a pretty reasonable explanation as to why no one has made a Valryian sword from daggers, or the Sphinxes.

 

Yes, yes you do, the longer reach is a great advantage in close quarters, specially against foot soldiers.

Much more, the blade of one Valyrian Dagger is more then enough, a sword would take a lot more of them, and you wouldn't need to melt it, so according to that post you linked, it's possible.

 

My first post here so i gotta say this is awesome story like hundreds have already said and i cant wait for next update are you gonna go back into updating every 2 weeks or so or it will be random?


Anyway about spears:From what i know spears was something extra people were useing and they were easy to broke etc oberyn used a spear caus he was in disadvantage of gregors size/armor. I just cant imagine harry useing anything exept a sword...

 

Ched, be gentle.

That said, I agree about the sword. Spears are dumb. Daggers are back ups. And if we're going canon, isn't Lightbringer a sword? Unless it's a metaphor, he's got that, and wouldn't it likely be a lock as his weapon of choice?

 

I see we lurk the same website!

 

I always thought Lightbringer was a flashlight.

 

And he's just going to find Lightbringer in his backyard, is he? He has to have a sword before the bloody end of the story. And I'm all for Lightbringer being a metaphor.
