The Black Blade is a rather unusual katana. As
noted in its description it is quite short, roughly equal in length to
Bloodlust and Darkdrift, and it is also quite heavy, being the fourth-heaviest
behind the Washing Pole, Onikiri and Ubadachi and Frayed Blade. However, it has
excellent base damage, and a different set of strong attacks than what is
normal on most katanas
If infused with a Sharp Gem
and used with very high amounts of Dexterity, the Black Blade deals among the
most physical damage of all katanas in the game.
A short katana wielded by the
swordsman and distinguished guest of High Lord Wolnir. This shiny black blade
is thick, but shorter than the typical katana.
The swordsman was a master of
a rare technique, traces of which can be observed in this weapon's strong
attack.
Skill: Hold
Assume a holding stance to
rapidly execute a lunging slash with normal attack, or a deflecting parry with
strong attack.
"And she is your rightful ruler. Those of you that have sailed under her, and there are many of you here, you know what she is! She is a reaver! She is a warrior! She is Ironborn! We will find no better leader! This is our queen!"

"You want me to have a god? Fine. King Stannis is my
god. He raised me up and blessed me with his trust. He gave you a future I
could never have imagined. You know how to read, you'll be a knight some day.
You think a fire-god commanded all that? It was Stannis, only Stannis."
"The Iron Throne is mine by right. All those that deny
that are my foes."
―Stannis Baratheon
Stannis is one of the most accomplished field generals in
the Seven Kingdoms. He fought for his brother King Robert during his rebellion
against The Mad King. At one point he was besieged at Storm's End and would
have starved if not for the smuggler Davos Seaworth.
Stannis destroyed the Greyjoy fleet during their failed
rebellion and was made Lord of Dragonstone and given a position on the small
council as Master of Ships. He was later converted to worship the Lord of Light
by the witch Melisandre who is called the Red Woman.
After Roberts death he killed his brother Renly and
launched and attack on Kings Landing only to be turned back by the city defense
of Tyrion Lanisster and the timely arrival of Tywin Lannister led forces
including the Tyrell forces. Stannis would later be killed by Brienne of Tarth
as payment for the death of Renly Baratheon.
