The truth about Valyrian steel is grim. It is a cursed metal, forged from the lives of the innocent. The more lives sacrificed, the purer and stronger the Valyrian steel becomes. In the same fires where iron is melted to create this extraordinary steel, the innocent are thrown in as fuel to make it eternal as death and dragon breath and dragon blood as flame. It's an incredibly inhumane act, though they are not humans but rather monsters. Now, the sword Laennalys gifted me seems repugnant. It's hard to come to terms with the fact that I, too, am connected to this monstrous legacy, even if I may appear different or was unnaturally born. The lines blur, and the truth feels hard to grasp.
