In the books, Sam mentions the Others could be killed using “dragon steel,” but the Valyrian Freehold supposedly didn’t rise until thousands of years until after the Long Night. Do you think Dragon Steel could simply be mixing steel with obsidian that the Valyrians refined? I looked online and found a post by a professional chemist saying it could be done using certain chemicals, and the process would make the resulting blade strong enough to cut a regular steel blade in half.

It could be a couple things:

  1. Azor Ahai/Last Hero’s legendary red sword being intepreted as Valyrian steel by later chroniclers, because that’s what magic sword means to them.
  2. Perhaps Azor Ahai/Last Hero discovered the secret of dragonsteel before the Valyrians and it was lost with them and rediscovered later by the Valyrians?
