The Story of the Ice
The greatsword that opens the saga. Ice is the ancestral Valyrian steel blade of House Stark — four hundred years old, as wide as a man’s hand, and the sword in Ned Stark’s grip in the story’s very first judgment. Our replica reproduces the vast two-handed blade at full scale.
Famous Battles & Moments
The Man Who Passes the Sentence
Ice’s first scene defines Ned Stark and the story’s whole moral world: the man who passes the sentence swings the sword.
The Sept of Baelor
Ned’s own execution — carried out, bitterly, with Ice itself — is the moment the story breaks its rules and never looks back.
The Reforging
Tywin Lannister melts Ice down into two blades, Oathkeeper and Widow’s Wail — the destruction of the old Stark world in a forge.
History of the Sword
Ice served House Stark for four centuries as the ceremonial and executioner’s blade of Winterfell. Its destruction after Ned’s death is why the sword remains so charged — it is the old North, unmade.
Why Collectors Want It
Ice is the statement piece of a Westeros collection: the biggest blade in the range and the one that starts the whole story. Wall display strongly recommended — measure the space first.
