Valyrian Steel

**Valyrian steel** was invented in Valyria, and was used to make weapons and various other items of unparalleled quality. Magic and spells play a role in its forging, which makes the steel special and gives it magical characteristics.

The forging process of Valyrian steel was lost in the Doom, but some houses both in Essos and Westeros still hold Valyrian steel ancestral weapons. More still are scattered, lost, around the world, waiting to be found. These weapons are among the most prestigious possessions of a noble house, in terms of weapons only surpassed by *Dawn*, the legendary greatsword of House Dayne.
