Lord Commander Mormont gave him a withering look. "You are a man of the Night's Watch. Try not to soil your smallclothes every time I look at you. Come, I said." His boots made squishing sounds in the mud, and Sam had to hurry to keep up. "I've been thinking about this dragonglass of yours." "It's not mine," Sam said. "Jon Snow's dragonglass, then. if dragonglass daggers are what we need, why do we have only two of them? Every man on the Wall should be armed with one the day he says his words." "We never knew…" "We never knew! But we must have known once. The Night's Watch has forgotten its true purpose, Tarly. You don't build a wall seven hundred feet high to keep savages in skins from stealing women. The Wall was made to guard the realms of men … and not against other men, which is all the wildlings are when you come right down to it. Too many years, Tarly, too many hundreds and thousands of years. We lost sight of the true enemy. And now he's here, but we don't know how to fight him. Is dragonglass made by dragons, as the smallfolk like to say?" "The m-maesters think not," Sam stammered. "The maesters say it comes from the fires of the earth. They call it obsidian." Mormont snorted. "They can call it lemon pie for all I care. If it kills as you claim, I want more of it." "Beyond the Wall Survival Kit" Details - Includes a genuine handcrafted obsidian dagger.

In making this kit we aimed for an immersive authentic experience. The kit is designed and built as if it were something issued to a ranger of the Night's Watch as part of a mission. Everything has been handmade with natural materials where possible and distressed to reflect what materials the Watch might have available to them at Castle Black. This is the exclusive officially licensed Night's Watch Dragonglass Dagger Set from "A Song of Ice and Fire." All swords come with a certificate of authenticity personally autographed by George R.R. Martin. This is a limited edition of 2500 pieces, each dagger diamond etched with an edition number. This item is in stock. WARNING, READ THIS: This kit includes real obsidian, obsidian is a natural volcanic glass. Like all glass it can chip or break, and the knife itself can be razor sharp. Glass will not bend, never use this to pry something as you might with a metal knife. Glass knives should also never, ever, be used anywhere for food preparation or near a place where food preparation takes place, as a shard could break off and be ingested and that would be a very bad thing necessitating emergency medical attention. THIS ITEM IS NOT A TOY, KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES. |
