James Arryn Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I think it probable that GRRM has a less than exact scientific definition, but rather a vaguely defined result falling somewhere between Damascus/Toledo and LOTR elvish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Arya Is Coming Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Damascus Steel has a lot of lore and myth surrounding it. One of the myths regarding how it's made is that you cool hot steel in Dragon's blood. Another is that you cool hot steel in the urine of redheaded children. And another suggests that you need to plunge the hot steel into a strong slave, who will transfer their strength into the sword. As you can see these stories fit right into the world of ASOIAF.
