Longclaw, a Valyrian Steel blade in possession of the house of Mormont for five centuries, was gifted to Jon Snow by Lord Jeor Mormont in thanks for saving Jeor from the attack of a Wight. Before presenting the sword the Bear pommel was replaced with a Direwolf head, it's eyes set with chips of Garnet, to represent Jon's albino Direwolf Ghost and reflect his Stark heritage. - From the Work of George RR Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire [**Please scroll to the bottom of this page to get this sword free in SKYRIM!!! ] Shown below are 4 variations of this sword which I've done, please also view "The Sword in the Darkness": Latest Piece, Signature No. 13:014
