Aldarion Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Fire and blood seems to refer to Valyrian magic process: 1) We know that Daenerys hatched dragon eggs by giving them "fire and blood": execution by burning, with eggs within flame. 2) Valyrian steel swords are likely made the same way, with combination of dragon flame and blood sacrifice. Are there any other examples of this type of magic at work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrifice was not required to hatch the eggs. You may be right about the making of the sword. Which would explain why the Targaryens stopped commissioning for new swords.

The Ghost Beyond the Wall Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The high priests of Volantis use fire in their demonstrations if I remember correctly, and I think moqorro may use flame as well... fire magic is also used to resurrect Beric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Weirwoods seem to represent a similar magical path as dragons. With blood sacrifices and burnt offerings being found in their maws. One might also consider eggs and acorns to be symbolically related. It could be that the Song of Earth is the source of the Valyrian ability to manipulate stone. 12 hours ago, Aldarion said: Fire and blood seems to refer to Valyrian magic process: GRRM regularly seems to indicate opposites by placing "And" between two concepts. So the phrase Fire and Blood may be synonymous with the phrase Fire and Ice. Perhaps also indicating a connection to the God of Flame and Shadow.
