They rule themselves, and aren't ruled by an outside power. The freedom is on the level of the city, not the level of the individual person within the cities.

And funny fricking thing is, we can't get it deleted. Wish I could do a negative bounty for that
Hmm surprised I ever upvoted that, probably because it was the only answer there at the time, and I didn't know any better. Although I guessed I'd hope bp.'s would've climbed higher, either way, I got a downvote yesterday so I'm not on a multiple of 5 =.=
You know how there's a song called "The greatest song of all time" By Tenacious D? Well on the topic of short answers, I present to you "The greatest answer of all time":
@Edlothiad The actual name is Tribute but it's commonly confused as the greatest song of all time, when it's actually a tribute to the greatest song of all time.
I feel like some people take fantasy more seriously than they should..
Just to be clear: "The songs said it had taken a thousand blades to make it" Just from that quote alone, the throne probably didn't weigh more than a ton or two, which in iron and steel means... they would maybe fill a regular bathtub. A thousand of something lumped together is often not as many as people imagine. — Arthur2 hours ago
I've been told to calm down and that If they get flagged I could be in for a ban, I just wanted this person to realise, it's fantasy, and realistically you could probably tetris 1000 swords into something that big, Nothing is saying it's not hollow, 1000 swords ihaspretty good structural integrity.

A longsword (also spelled as long sword or long-sword) is a type of European sword characterized as having a cruciform hilt with a grip for two-handed use (around 16 to 28 cm (6 to 11 in)), a straight double-edged blade of around 85 to 110 cm (33 to 43 in), and weighing approximately 1 to 1.5 kg (2.2 to 3.3 lb).
The "longsword" type exists in a morphological continuum with the medieval knightly sword and the Renaissance-era Zweihänder. It was prevalent during the late medieval and Renaissance periods (approximately 1350 to 1550), with early and late use reaching into the 13th and 17th centuries...

> The two-handed sword was a specialized and effective infantry weapon, and was recognized as such in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Although large, measuring 60-70 in/150-175 cm overall, it was not as hefty as it looked, weighing something of the order of 5-8 lbs/2.3-3.6 kg. In the hands of the Swiss and German infantrymen it was lethal, and its use was considered as special skill, often meriting extra pay.
Sounds like you were correct, LC is a bastard sword as well so...
Hmm back to running tests over the weekend, I've not put in my safety net #livinglifeontheedge (haven't had time to test it) I'll just say it ran most of the weekend with a disconnect on Sunday morning, and I'm currently running it again (on Monday)
In Game of Thrones Season 07 Episode 01, "Dragonstone", Sam finds out that there is a mountain of Dragonglass underneath Dragonstone. Whilst searching through the book one of the pages has a picture of the Valyrian steel dagger that the Catspaw used to try and kill Bran with.
What is written on ...
it doesn't seems to about blades at all... just dragon glass. the blades part is just a note that the glass was used to decorate hilts. doesn't even seem to imply that it is a Targaren blade. could be any wealthy man's blade. but that is why i ask what it is doing on that page to begin with.
@amflare I obviously haven’t downvoted you... I only downvote complete and utter trash that’s only on the site due to the technicality that although it’s completely wrong it still answers the question
Yeah but it's there for an answer, if the two situations are similar I'd say it's fine to keep it in, kind of one answer answers both. If they're different though I'd edit it out but I don't know enough of Tolkien to work that out myself.
