The Fictional History of the Sword

This sword is not a copy of a historical weapon but is inspired by the world of George R. R. Martin's saga A Song of Ice and Fire and the world-famous HBO series Game of Thrones. House Stark, the Wardens of the North based in Winterfell, have lived by the motto "Winter is Coming" for generations. This warning symbolised not only the coming harsh season but also constant vigilance and readiness for danger. This sword embodies these values – honour, duty, and resilience.

Lore Spotlight: The Fate of 'Ice'

The ancestral greatsword of House Stark, named "Ice", was a formidable weapon forged from rare Valyrian steel. Following Eddard Stark's execution in King's Landing, the sword fell into the hands of the Lannisters. Tywin Lannister, in his contempt for House Stark, had this legendary blade melted down and reforged into two new longswords. The first, "Oathkeeper", was given to his son Jaime, who later entrusted it to Brienne of Tarth. The second sword, "Widow's Wail", became a wedding gift for King Joffrey Baratheon. The fate of Ice is a perfect illustration of the turbulent history and conflicts between the great houses of Westeros.

Care and Safety

How to Care for Your Sword

Thanks to the stainless steel blade, maintenance is very simple. After handling, wipe the blade with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints. The metal parts of the hilt can be polished occasionally to maintain their shine. Store the sword in a dry environment to prevent any potential corrosion or damage to the materials.

Safety Guidelines

Although the sword is decorative and its edge is blunt, it has a sharp point and is a heavy metal object. Always handle it with caution and respect.

• It is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children.
• Never swing the sword or point it at other people.
• - When hanging it on a wall, use a sturdy and reliable bracket that can safely support its weight.
• Any attempt at practical use can lead to damage to the sword and cause serious injury.
