The newly dubbed “Oathkeeper” accompanied Brienne all through the last four seasons, helping her wound the Hound, behead Stannis Baratheon, and reunite Sansa with her other living siblings. Jaime then passed it to Brienne of Tarth, along with the task of finding Sansa Stark before Cersei does. Tywin gifted the larger Valyrian steel sword to Jaime Lannister in season 4. He orders the blade reforged into two smaller swords (which still seem to be normal-sized by sword standards, making Ice one damn big sword).

There are a little over 200 Valyrian steel swords in Westeros right now, but in the show, we’ve really only seen five blades.
So we don’t know why these weapons turn White Walkers into puffs of ice.

Here’s what we know. With Jorah Mormont receiving the legendary Valyrian steel blade Heartsbane from Samwell Tarly in episode 2, another chess piece drops into place.
