Update: Well that was an understatement! Arya used this blade in a deft maneuver to kill the Night King, crumbling the wight army and saving the North and the Known World. Yeah, this is definitely going to come in handy. The accompanying text briefly describes the ancient Valyrians' process for forging dragonglass into a variety of uses. There's more to this dagger though! While studying at the Citadel in Oldtown, Samwell Tarly (yet anotherВ owner of a Valyrian steel blade, though an unintended one) happens upon a book that contains a drawing of the dagger in question. At the moment, Arya is in possession of the cursed blade since Bran gifted it to her she's already put it to good use during her practice duel with Brienne of Tarth, another wielder of a Valyrian steel blade. This unnamed blade returned this season, signifying its importance, in 'The Spoils of War.' Littlefinger gifted it to Bran in Winterfell while retelling the story of its bloody beginning and dodging the question of who it originally belonged to book readers should have a better angle on its succession of owners.

The blade passed through many hands, though no one wanted to take ownershipВ of it, including Petyr Baelish, Tyrion Lannister, and even Ned Stark himself. That dagger then wentВ on a whirlwind tour of Westeros with an injured Catelyn Stark allowing experts in some of the Seven Kingdoms to examine it with the hopes of getting answers. No ordinary weapon, despite the very ordinary man wielding it, the blade was forged of Valyrian steel with a dragonbone hilt. Way back in Season 1, a catspaw assassin hired to kill a comatose Bran Stark attempted to do the deed using this dagger.
