The Forge Journals

If Blackfyre is the sword of Kings, Dark Sister is the sword of Warriors.
Originally forged for Queen Visenya Targaryen, it was designed to be lighter and more slender than its brother blade, fitting a female hand. Yet, in House of the Dragon, it found its most iconic wielder in Daemon Targaryen, the Rogue Prince, who used its agility to carve through the Stepstones.

Replicating Dark Sister presents a challenge of proportion. How do you make a sword look this thin without it feeling fragile?
At BlacksmithSONG, we offer this as part of our Compact Class (22cm). Here is why this 74g miniature is the perfect desk companion for the chaotic neutral.

⚒️ Key Specs at a Glance

• Total Length: 22cm (Compact / Letter Opener Scale).

• Net Weight: 74g (Surprisingly dense for its size).

• Material: High-Density Zinc Alloy.

• Scabbard: Included, with metallic fittings.

• Price: $19.99 (Entry-level collectible).

The "Needle" Profile: Structural Engineering

The defining characteristic of Dark Sister is its width—or lack thereof. It is a thrusting sword.
Comparing the data:

• Blackfyre (30cm): Broad, commanding.

• Dark Sister (22cm): Narrow, piercing.

Despite being only 22cm, the 74g weight is crucial. If this were made of standard aluminum or plastic, it would weigh less than 20g and feel cheap. By using Zinc Alloy, we ensure that even this thin strip of metal has a "dead weight" feel. It feels like a shiv. It balances perfectly on a finger, mimicking the lethal precision of Daemon’s fighting style.

Visual Analysis: The Wings of Caraxes

The hilt differs significantly from Blackfyre. While Blackfyre’s guard is regal and spreading, Dark Sister’s guard is angular and swept back.
Our mold captures these sharp lines. The pommel is not a simple ball, but a textured, tapering form that resembles a closed dragon scale or a reptile's tail. This matches the aesthetic of Daemon’s armor and his dragon, Caraxes (The Blood Wyrm)—long, lean, and dangerous.

As seen in the video above, we staged this piece with Dragon Eggs. Dark Sister is deeply tied to the heritage of the dragonriders.

The Scabbard: More Than a Cover

Unlike some miniatures that come with plastic sheaths, Dark Sister includes a scabbard with distinct metal fittings (the locket at the top and the chape at the tip).
This adds to the 74g total weight and allows for a satisfying "click" when the sword is sheathed. The scabbard also features a miniature belt loop, adding a layer of realism to the prop.

Lore Context: The Sword of the Second Son

Dark Sister is often wielded by the "second sons" or those who stand in the shadow of the crown—Visenya, Daemon, Aemon the Dragonknight, and eventually Bloodraven.
It is a sword for the complex characters, the anti-heroes. Owning this replica at $19.99 is a tribute to the most dynamic character in House of the Dragon. It doesn't take up much space, but its presence is undeniable.

The Blacksmith's Verdict

While we plan to forge a 30cm version in the future, the 22cm Dark Sister remains a bestseller for a reason. Its compact size makes it an excellent functional letter opener or a subtle addition to a gaming setup.
It is sharp-looking, historically significant, and carries the spirit of the Rogue Prince.

Dreams didn't make us Kings. Dragons did.
