All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Oscar Wilde.

@morrigansraven yes it was. I get tears when Davos voice breaks. What a great character and a great actor. Truth she needed to hear. And I don't recall her telling Stannis that it was "commanded". Do you?
The blade was Valyrian steel, spell-forged and dark as smoke. Nothing held an edge like Valyrian steel.

No, I don't think she said it was commanded. I think she said something about sacrificing king's blood though. So much of the subtext of this story really is what can be justified by love: of family, of your god, of power, of your king & country. Davos is unusual because we see the lines he won't cross. /off-topic , shame, shame
