Arms and Armor of Westeros

 Jalic, Inc will soon be manufacturing all our favorite swords from Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.

“Each sword will be a limited edition run of 2500 pieces and will include a signed certificate of authenticity. These swords will be high quality display pieces and will come with plaques bearing the crest of the house which holds the sword.”

“The first sword in the series will be Longclaw, once the sword of the Mormont’s, now wielded by Jon Snow. The concept art for this blade has been completed and approved and we will be releasing it to you in the future. We aim to have this sword ready for sale in 2008.”

 I can’t wait to see Ice!

The World of Ice and Fire

George RR Martin has just signed on a new project. He, along with Elio ‘Ran’ Garcia and Linda Antonsson of Westeros, will be collaborating on new companion book, The World of Ice and Fire. According to Martin, it will include “a lengthy section on the history of the Seven Kingdoms, and a “who’s who” of characters past and present, living, dead, and legendary. Heraldry and genealogy will also be included. Oh, and maps. Lots of maps.”

Oh. My. God. I can’t freakin’ wait for this! If this new book turns out anything like the Art of Ice and Fire, it’s going to be amazing!
