Carried by Aegon the Conqueror when he first left Dragonstone for the Seven Kingdoms , Blackfyre was an ancestral sword of his house that became a symbol of the Targaryen dynasty in Westeros.
Aegon I carried it throughout his reign and used it in many battles, upon his death it was passed on to his heir and successor Aenys. However Aenys gifted it to his younger brother Maegor who was the better warrior and more suited to the blade. Many viewed this as a mistake that legitimized Maegor’s later usurpation of the throne.
The sword continued to be used and carried by the Targaryen kings for generations, in peace and in war. Until 182 AC when Aegon IV gifted Blackfyre to his bastard son Daemon, instead of his more scholarly legitimate heir. Daemon took on the name Blackfyre, after his father’s blade, and formed House Blackfyre. The waters of succession were further muddied when Aegon IV legitimized Daemon Blackfyre on his deathbed. The final result was The Blackfyre Rebellion in 196 AC.
The rebellion proved unsuccessful and Daemon was slain, riddled with arrows from archers under the command of Lord Brynden Rivers, himself another bastard of Aegon IV who stayed loyal to the crown. Daemon Blackfyre’s half brother, Aegor “Bittersteel” Rivers, a bastard who had joined with the rebels took up Blackfyre and fled with it across the Narrow Sea to the Free Cities where the sword was lost to history.

Great sword
This sword is beautiful. My only complaint it the mounting. I also have Ice and the mounting pegs fit perfectly around the shoulder so that the cross guard is perfectly centered. The mounting pegs for Blackfyre are too wide for the cross guard. They seem to fit perfectly into the dragons mouth but are not equidistant so the mounting looks subpar. I would suggest revamping the mount to fit appropriately and reissuing them to customers who were sent this mount. It really takes away from the presentation

Blackfyre Damascus
This is with no exaggeration the most beautiful sword I have ever seen with my own two eyes. The detail in the crossguard is incredible and the overall stability of the sword far exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier with the purchase these guys at Jalic Blades are true professionals who know what they are doing.
