Kevan Lannister Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The Sword of Morning?LightbringerIce?That Valyrian Arakh?Or would you have an unmentioned weapon or a creation of your own? I've always thought a Valyrian Warhammer would be cool, although I'd probably not be able to lift it off the ground!So, what weapon would you like?

TheRaggedWildling Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Some sort of polearm, preferably a halberd of some sort. As in real life, swords get stupidly over-glorified, especially against the full plate that we see most members of the nobility wearing. Why is there no half-swording, or usage of more "anti-armor" weapons, like hammers, maces, axes, etc? I understand that there was Robert's warhammer and Victarions axe, but seemingly that is it.

They also stopped using shields, since that wasn't effective eithers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Soprano Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Dawn is one of my favorite weapons in the entire series. But I don't think it's all about the weapon. The warrior needs to be skilled in the weapon's use as well. Dawn was passed down in House Dayne for generations, but Arthur Dayne is the only member that anyone really remembers. He was legendary. One of the greatest knights of the Kingsguard and I greatly admire him and Dawn.If I could get my own weapon, it would probably be an axe from Norvos. The Norvoshi's weapon of choice is an axe, hell, they even marry their axes. So, I think it would be a great weapon. Swords are one thing, but axes have their own usage, especially against heavy armor. And I'd also like an axe made out of Valyrian steel. I don't think we've seen one of those in the series so far, I think it would look very cool, and it would also be very sharp and powerful, like most other Valyrian weapons.

I want to see much more of him if simply to see him use that axe!I apologize, I forgot all about Areo Hotah and his badass longaxe. Amended: Robert's warhammer, Victarion's waraxe, and Areo Hotah's supremely badass longaxe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
