Dragonglass is the only substance we know of that poses a threat to Others. We see with Samwell’s smouldering log how easily wights succumb to fire where blades have failed Lightbringer’s flames giving it the ability to kill wights would be a functional purpose.īut Lightbringer, as will be discussed, only seems to make sense as a weapon of enormous power if we consider that it could be made from dragonglass. This fire would have given him a great advantage when fighting Others and their army. What could be so special about this sword?įirst of all, the Legend of Lightbringer indicates that upon being thrust through Nissa Nissa’s heart, the blade was set alight, and presumably burnt without fuel. The primary question about Lightbringer is how a single blade could possibly be so important against an army of Others and wights. Further importance is given to this legendary sword as Melisandre frequently mentions its prophesied return, and how essential it could be in the upcoming war against the Others. It seems that during the last Long Night’s “darkness” Azor Ahai forged a very important blade, which the Jade Compendium tells us was thrust through the belly of a monster. We learn of the forging of Lightbringer in Salladhor Saan’s tale.
