Ice

Ice was a Valyrian steel greatsword and an heirloom of House Stark. It was used both in war and on ceremonial occasions by the Lord of Winterfell. It has been in the possession of House Stark for generations and was kept in a special scabbard crafted from the pelt of a wolf. A time rift version of Lord Cregan Stark fought Nick Saint and lost to the Roman demigod who took the greatsword and used it as a primary weapon.
== History ==
The name "Ice" is a legacy from the Age of Heroes and predates the current sword. About four hundred years before King Robert I Baratheon's reign, the Valyrian steel greatsword was spell-forged in Valyria and acquired by House Stark, who named it after that legacy.
In 50 AC Lord Walton Stark used Ice to execute Ser Olyver Bracken, who had rebelled against the Night's Watch.
Lord Cregan Stark used Ice to behead Ser Gyles Belgrave and Lord Larys Strong in King's Landing during the Hour of the Wolf.
Lord Eddard Stark uses Ice whenever to condemns a man to death. Eddard has allowed his bastard son, Jon Snow, to handle Ice; Jon has sometimes dreamed of being regarded as a Stark and being given Ice.
== Appearance ==
Ice is a greatsword as wide across as a man's hand and six feet long. The blade is taller than an adolescent Robb Stark and near as tall as Ser Ilyn Payne. Its Valyrian steel is dark and smoky with deep rippling.
