So I decided to file it away for future consideration. Then I read Darry Man’s brilliant essay comparing weirwood and ebony and relating that to the persimmon tree ([you should read it, it’s awesome](https://plowmanskeep.wordpress.com/2017/08/25/the-symbolic-significance-of-ebony-persimmon-in-asoiaf/)); lo and behold, up pops Tobho Mott again. So, “future consideration” is now “today”.
Before I begin, I must say that I am a devoted acolyte of Lucifer means Lightbringer’s /u/luciferlightbringer's [Church of Starry Wisdom](www.lucifermeanslightbringer.com). I think I can get through this essay without relying on his ideas *too* heavily, but I might mention something without thinking so here is a brief precis of his major thesis: he suggests that there were once two moons in the sky and that the (now extinct) second moon was struck and destroyed by a comet whilst in eclipse position, causing thousands of moon meteors to rain down upon Planetos. The resulting debris from the meteors landing was kicked up into the atmosphere causing the worldwide darkness remembered as the Long Night. These events are depicted in the in-world myths: the Qartheen myth of the origin of dragons describes the moon as wandering too close to the sun (that’s the eclipse position) and hatching dragons (those would be the moon meteors). The myth of Lightbringer’s forging also reflects the astronomical phenomena as Azor Ahai (the sun) wields Lightbringer (the comet) against Nissa Nissa (the second moon) to create a flaming sword (the moon meteors and the now-transformed Red Comet). There’s even moon breaking implied in the Azor Ahai myth, as Nissa Nissa’s cry of anguish and ecstasy “left a crack across the face of the moon”.
Hopefully you won’t need to know more of his ideas to understand this essay, but I would highly recommend reading or listening to his work anyway, because it has revealed a lot of interesting connections I had never thought about before. And I’m going to be calling Lucifer means Lightbringer LmL from now one, because this essay is very close to the character limit. Unpaid advertising for someone else over, let’s dive into the deep well that is Tobho Mott’s symbolism.
**Ice, Ice Baby**
We first meet Tobho Mott during Ned’s murder mystery tour of the capital, when he’s following the path set out by Jon Arryn’s servants. This is how Tobho Mott appears:
>He wore a black velvet coat with hammers embroidered on the sleeves in silver thread. Around his neck was a heavy silver chain and a sapphire as large as a pigeon's egg. (Eddard VI, AGOT)
So that’s a lot of silver and some sapphires, which are consistently associated with ice – think blue and white, like the Wall and the Others.
In fact, let’s take a look at that “sapphire as large as a pigeon’s egg.” It turns out that people’s eyes are described as eggs on many occasions:
>Even Mord had scarcely believed it when Tyrion tossed him the leather purse. The gaoler's eyes had gone big as boiled eggs as he yanked open the drawstring and beheld the glint of gold. (Tyrion VI, AGOT)
>Jon squatted to let the direwolf close his jaws around his wrist, tugging his hand back and forth. It was a game they played. But when he glanced up, he saw Ygritte watching with eyes as wide and white as hen's eggs. (Jon VI, ACOK)
>Elmar's eyes got as big as boiled eggs. (Arya X, ACOK)
>Ser Hyle Hunt laughed. "Now you've done it, septon. Poor Podrick's eyes are big as boiled eggs." (Brienne V, AFFC)
So this is could be implying that Tobho Mott has a third eye, made of sapphire. You know what else has massive sapphire eyes?
>Jon remembered Othor; he had been the one bellowing the bawdy song as the rangers rode out. His singing days were done. His flesh was blanched white as milk, everywhere but his hands. His hands were black like Jafer's. Blossoms of hard cracked blood decorated the mortal wounds that covered him like a rash, breast and groin and throat. Yet his eyes were still open. They stared up at the sky, blue as sapphires. (Jon VII, AGOT)
It seems like George might be sneakily implying that Tobho Mott has a symbolic connection to the Others, with a third icy eye dangling round his neck. Or I could be reading way too much in to a description of a jewel.
I don’t think so though, because Mott does have other icy connections. The Street of Steel where he lives is based on Visenya’s hill and, as LmL shows in [Visenya Draconis](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2017/11/11/visenya-draconis/), Visenya and her hill are heavily ice associated. Just to give you a small sample, consider the Great Sept of Baelor which stands atop Visenya’s Hill, home to the Faith of the Seven.
>Her bare feet slapped against the cold marble floor. She could feel the eyes. Behind their altars, the Seven seemed to watch as well. / In the Hall of Lamps, a dozen Warrior's Sons awaited her coming. Rainbow cloaks hung down their backs, and the crystals that crested their greathelms glittered in the lamplight. Their armor was silver plate polished to a mirror sheen, but underneath, she knew, every man of them wore a hair shirt. Their kite shields all bore the same device: a crystal sword shining in the darkness, the ancient badge of those the smallfolk called Swords. (ADWD, Cersei II)
The temple is described as "cold" and is home to the people bearing crystal swords, reminding us of the Others.
Another white marble building is the Eyrie, which is also described as extremely cold.
> The High Hall of the Arryns was long and austere, with a forbidding coldness to its walls of blue-veined white marble, but the faces around him had been colder by far. (Tyrion V, AGOT)
> Amidst so much white marble even the sunlight looked chilly, somehow … though not half so chilly as her aunt. Lady Lysa had dressed in a gown of cream-colored velvet and a necklace of sapphires and moon-stones. (Sansa VII, ASOS)
Heck, the iciest manmade structure of them all, the Wall, is described as “as smooth and white as polished marble” at one point (Jon IV, ASOS). So the fact that a huge building of cold white marble *crowns* Visenya’s Hill would appear to suggest that Visenya’s Hill is symbolically icy. That is just one example, but LmL details a whole load over at his essay, so I’d go check that out if you want some more convincing/just want to appreciate his awesome theorising.
So, not only does Tobho Mott wear a sapphire like a surprised Other’s eye around his neck, he also lives on a hill heavily associated with iciness. He is the most successful person on the street, having the largest building on the Street of Steel right at the pinnacle of the Street of Steel. This places the forge in the celestial realm; think of the Greek gods living at the top of Mount Olympus, it’s a similar concept. This, in turn, suggests Tobho Mott as having some kind of dominion over ice.
So Tobho Mott has symbolism that suggests he is icy and godly – sounds rather like he’s a smith for the Others or something. I imagine smithing for the Others would require magic, so let’s see what we have here…
**A Doorway to… Magic?**
>The man they wanted was all the way at the top of the hill, in a huge house of timber and plaster whose upper stories loomed over the narrow street. The double doors showed a hunting scene carved in ebony and weirwood. (Ned VI, AGOT)
Where else has ebony and weirwood doors?
>To her right, a set of wide wooden doors had been thrown open. They were fashioned of ebony and weirwood, the black and white grains swirling and twisting in strange interwoven patterns. They were very beautiful, yet somehow frightening. The blood of the dragon must not be afraid. Dany said a quick prayer, begging the Warrior for courage and the Dothraki horse god for strength. She made herself walk forward.
>Beyond the doors was a great hall and a splendor of wizards.
>[…]
>She took a step forward. But then Drogon leapt from her shoulder. He flew to the top of the ebony-and-weirwood door, perched there, and began to bite at the carved wood. (Daenerys IV, ACOK)
>At the top she found a set of carved wooden doors twelve feet high. The left-hand door was made of weirwood pale as bone, the right of gleaming ebony. In their center was a carved moon face; ebony on the weirwood side, weirwood on the ebony. The look of it reminded her somehow of the heart tree in the godswood at Winterfell. *The doors are watching me*, she thought. (Arya I, AFFC)
These are some of the most inherently magical places in ASOIAF – the House of the Undying, a rollercoaster of trippy magic drug prophecies revealed by Shade of the Evening junkies, and the House of Black and White, which teaches people magical assassination techniques and is likened to a weirwood tree. So what on earth are they doing on the door of an armorer’s building?
I think it’s there to telegraph that what happens inside Tobho Mott’s forge is magical, at least symbolically. He does know how to reforge Valyrian steel and he can do some magic to change the colours of the steel, as he did when splitting Ice – *ICE!* – into Oathkeeper and Widow’s Wail, so there is even some literal magic going on behind the scenes. Moreover, his forge has associations with dragons, as Ned describes it as “walking into a dragon’s mouth” and says that it “stank of smoke and sulfur” – the exact same description of the Dragonpit under Meereen. And let's not forget his third eye necklace, with "third eye" specifically denoting magic, and contrasting nicely with Mel's ruby choker, also described as a third eye.
The hunting scene on the door also suggests magic: it is a depiction of the Wild Hunt. Now, I’m not a mythology buff and my knowledge of the Wild Hunt is restricted to what Google said, so if anyone has more info, it would be a great addition. The Wild Hunt appears to have been a hunt led by spectral figures and Odin. Odin is heavily tied to the development of Martin’s ideas of greenseeing and weirwoods, so we immediately see a magical link here. The Wild Hunt was also something that happened in midwinter, “the coldest, darkest part of the year” [reference link](https://norse-mythology.org/the-wild-hunt/). In ASOIAF, we can equate this to the Long Night and the coming of the Others. So the guy heavily associated with ice and magic has a magical scene that occurs in *midwinter* carved into his magical doors; it seems to suggest ice magic to me.
Behind said magical doors, Tobho Mott’s forge is in a “cavernous stone barn”. Wizz-the-Smith has an excellent piece on the westeros.org forums linking [caves and hollow hills to places of magic](http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/143917-the-caves-are-timeless-hollow-hills-magic-castles-and-greenseers/): think Bloodraven’s cavern system under the weirwood or the Hollow Hill where Beric Dondarrion acts like Azor Ahai, wielding a burning sword and all that jazz. So, seeing Tobho Mott’s forge being like a dragon hiding in a magical cave on a hill symbolising ice with an entrance designed like doors to other magical building… welp, it’s hella suspicious, is all I’m saying.
So, all very interesting, but let’s have a look at what Tobho Mott actually does, and that’s smithing.
**Tobho Mott and Lightbringer**
>"A hundred days and a hundred nights he labored on the third blade, and as it glowed white-hot in the sacred fires, he summoned his wife. 'Nissa Nissa,' he said to her, for that was her name, 'bare your breast, and know that I love you best of all that is in this world.' She did this thing, why I cannot say, and Azor Ahai thrust the smoking sword through her living heart. It is said that her cry of anguish and ecstasy left a crack across the face of the moon, but her blood and her soul and her strength and her courage all went into the steel. Such is the tale of the forging of Lightbringer, the Red Sword of Heroes.” (Davos I, ACOK)
In essence, what Azor Ahai did was create a bloody and burning sword here. And so does Tobho Mott.
First, the bloody sword stuff. After Ice is stolen by the Lannisters, it gets split into the swords, Oathkeeper and Widow’s Wail. Look at this description:
>Most Valyrian steel was a grey so dark it looked almost black, as was true here as well. But blended into the folds was a red as deep as the grey. The two colors lapped over one another without ever touching, each ripple distinct, like waves of night and blood upon some steely shore. "How did you get this patterning? I've never seen anything like it."
>"Nor I, my lord," said the armorer [Tobho Mott]. "I confess, these colors were not what I intended, and I do not know that I could duplicate them. Your lord father had asked for the crimson of your House, and it was that color I set out to infuse into the metal. But Valyrian steel is stubborn. These old swords remember, it is said, and they do not change easily. I worked half a hundred spells and brightened the red time and time again, but always the color would darken, as if the blade was drinking the sun from it.” (Tyrion IV, ASOS)
This next paragraph relies on the basic premise of LmL’s theory, that I outlined right at the start of the essay. If you skipped past that, I recommend checking it out first, because otherwise this next paragraph might not make much sense.
So, Tobho Mott actually uses spells to turn the Valyrian steel bloodred – accidentally, yes, but he still made a bloody sword. The fact it turns red from “drinking the sun” is important, because that is part of the Qartheen “origin of dragons” legend.
>"Once there were two moons in the sky, but one wandered too close to the sun and cracked from the heat. A thousand thousand dragons poured forth, and drank the fire of the sun.” (Dany III, AGOT)
LmL theorises that this is a mythological memory of the breaking of the second moon, and look! the moon meteors dragons “drink the sun” just like Widow’s Wail and Oathkeeper do. This means they can kind of symbolise dragons too, making them bloody and burning swords – just like Lightbringer! And Tobho Mott (re)forged them from Ice!
Tobho Mott has also done some more explicit Lightbringer forging, as he made Thoros of Myr’s burning swords.
>"I was 'prenticed to the master armorer Tobho Mott, on the Street of Steel. You used to buy your swords from him."
>"Just so. He charged me twice what they were worth, then scolded me for setting them afire." Thoros laughed. (Arya VIII, ASOS)
More than being any old burning sword, Davos directly compares Thoros’s burning sword to Stannis’ Lightbringer.
>A year ago, he had been with Stannis in King's Landing when King Robert staged a tourney for Prince Joffrey's name day. He remembered the red priest Thoros of Myr, and the flaming sword he had wielded in the melee. The man had made for a colorful spectacle, his red robes flapping while his blade writhed with pale green flames, but everyone knew there was no true magic to it, and in the end his fire had guttered out and Bronze Yohn Royce had brained him with a common mace.
>*A true sword of fire, now, that would be a wonder to behold.* (Davos I, ACOK)
So that transfers Stannis' Lightbringer symbolism onto Thoros' burning sword, implicating Tobho Mott in the forging Lightbringer, again. So if we’re seeing Lightbringer, do we also see Azor Ahai?
**Smithing for the Saviour**
When Ned first goes to meet Tobho Mott, the armorer does a bit of name-dropping so that Ned can get a feel for the calibre of the clientele. Specifically, he names Renly’s green-and-gold armor and all of Loras Tyrell’s armor.
Renly wears his green and gold armor a fair amount, but we'll focus n his death scene because SYMBOLISM. Here's the description:
>The king's armor was a deep green, the green of leaves in a summer wood, so dark it drank the candlelight. Gold highlights gleamed from inlay and fastenings like distant fires in that wood, winking every time he moved. (Catelyn IV, ACOK)
This armor drinks the candlelight, just like Widow’s Wail and Oathkeeper drank the sun, and just like the now extinct second moon drank the sun. Tobho Mott has essentially forged Lightbringer in armor form. It’s even described as being on fire here (*“Gold highlights gleamed … like distant fires in that wood.”*), like Lightbringer. If you have read much of LmL's work, you may recognise the ember in the ashes motif here, but an explanation of that requires quite an off-topic divergence, so I'll just recommend you read these essays ([1](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2016/08/25/the-grey-king-and-the-sea-dragon/), [2](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2017/04/20/in-a-grove-of-ash/)) for more information. So, Renly's armor is clearly mimicking some aspects of Lightbringer, and we all know what happens next...
>The king stumbled into her arms, a sheet of blood creeping down the front of his armor, a dark red tide that drowned his green and gold. (Catelyn IV, ACOK)
>"King Renly's shade was seen as well," the captain said, "slaying right and left as he led the lion lord's van. It's said his green armor took a ghostly glow from the wildfire, and his antlers ran with golden flames." (Davos II, ASOS)
Renly's armor gets covered in blood, like Lightbringer gets covered in Nissa Nissa’s blood when Azor Ahai kills her, in circumstances similar to the eastern myth of [the Blood Betrayal](http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Blood_Betrayal) that was said to usher in the Long Night. Later in the book, Renly reappears to us, seemingly resurrected, much like Azor Ahai was reborn, and his Lightbringer-esque armor is now on fire, like the burning sword Lightbringer. Tobho Mott just can't help smithing stuff that gets set on fire, it's incredible.
Tobho Mott also brags about making all of Loras’ armor, but that ended up being a longer analysis than I thought it would be so SECTION BREAK!
**The Knight of the (Winter) Rose**
I want to discuss Loras himself before moving on to his armor because he has some relevant personal symbolism. As the third Tyrell son, he has chosen three golden roses on green as his personal sigil. [The unfurling of a rose is another metaphor for the moon meteor disaster](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2016/02/02/wavesofnightandmoonblood/), and three is a key moon meteor number: think the Targaryen 3-headed dragon sigil, with dragons representing the moon meteors. So, with Loras Tyrell having personal symbolism relating to the moon disaster, which in turn relates to the Azor Ahai myth, it makes sense that Tobho Mott would decide to smith for him. *“Hey, you seem to be representing Azor Ahai. Just wanted to introduce myself, I make magical weapons, thought you might like some? Or some magic armor? Call me anytime!”*
I could find two suits of armor that Loras wears before entering the Kingsguard, which will be where the meaningful symbolism lives as it relates to Tobho Mott. Loras wears both of these suits of armor whilst jousting during the Hand's Tourney. On the first day's jousting, Sansa describes his armor like this:
> “His plate was intricately fashioned and enamelled as a bouquet of a thousand different flowers, and his snow-white stallion was draped in a blanket of red and white roses.” (Sansa II, AGOT)
We’ve got the flowers as moon meteors motif again here, this time with the key “thousand” moon meteors (that number comes from the Qartheen myth of a thousand thousand dragons coming from the moon). So, Loras Tyrell’s armor here is a fusion of these two ideas, with a thousand flowers, instead of a thousand dragons. And if Loras is wearing symbolically magic armor in this scene, like I’m proposing, then he should do something Azor Ahai-ish. The primary thing that is noted is that he gives Sansa a rose.
>To the other maidens he had given white roses, but the one he plucked for her was red. "Sweet lady," he said, "no victory is half so beautiful as you." Sansa took the flower timidly, struck dumb by his gallantry. His hair was a mass of lazy brown curls, his eyes like liquid gold. (Sansa II, AGOT)
Sansa is one of the more important “moon maidens” in the series, i.e. characters who act like Nissa Nissa in some ways. The fact that he gives her a red rose is an allusion to wooing or romancing Nissa Nissa, so that she “wanders too close” to the sun, and this plays into the love/pain inherent in Azor Ahai’s destruction of Nissa Nissa (indicated by her cry of anguish and ecstasy). She receives this rose “timidly” and is “struck dumb”, which plays into [the shy maid motif](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2017/05/24/venus-of-the-woods/) that LmL has picked out. I won’t get into too much detail about it because, again, it is slightly off topic, but it is related and interesting. Needless to say, it’s Azor Ahai doing something to Nissa Nissa and making magic happen.
The second suit of armor Tobho Mott made for Loras that we know about is the one worn in his joust against the Mountain, again at the Hand’s Tourney. Boy, it’s fancy.
>Ser Loras Tyrell was slender as a reed, dressed in a suit of fabulous silver armor polished to a blinding sheen and filigreed with twining black vines and tiny blue forget-me-nots. The commons realized in the same instant as Ned that the blue of the flowers came from sapphires; a gasp went up from a thousand throats. (Ned VII, AGOT)
Much like when we're introduced to Tobho Mott, Loras Tyrell is decked out in all the iciness of silver and sapphire. In fact, and I forgot to mention this in the first Loras armor quote, Loras rides a snow-white courser in the first day's events, which lends him a bit of iciness in that scene too. Note that this icy armor causes “a gasp from a thousand throats”, or a thousand tiny Nissa Nissa cries swelling the crowd.
There is also an indication that Loras Tyrell wields magic here. He's wearing vines and flowers, a direct allusion to the clothing of the children of the forest, who are renowned for their magic. He’s also described as slender as a reed. Capitalise that and it becomes “slender as a Reed”, reminding us of the crannogman, their children of the forest-like descriptions and their magic, i.e. greenseeing. Finally, Loras is described as having “golden eyes” by Sansa twice: first in the scene where Loras gives her the rose at the Hand’s Tourney, and again when she sees him as a member of the Kingsguard early in her ASOS chapters. There are not many things or people that get the golden eye description and all are distinctly magical: the direwolves, Viserion, the Naathi (who appear to have magical protection against the butterfly illness), the Lengii (who appear to have a skinchanger-esque bond with tigers and who practice blood sacrifice to the Old Ones) and, most importantly, the children of the forest. Needless to say, I think general associations with magic and the three specific associations with children of the forest in these scenes demonstrate that Loras has magical symbolism, specifically tied to the children of the forest and therefore greenseeing.
So once again, we see icy magical stuff a-happening. I’ve been implying that this means Azor Ahai stuff is also a-happening, so where is the Lightbringer forging?
>And suddenly it began. The Mountain's stallion broke in a hard gallop, plunging forward wildly, while the mare charged as smooth as a flow of silk. Ser Gregor wrenched his shield into position, juggled with his lance, and all the while fought to hold his unruly mount on a straight line, and suddenly Loras Tyrell was on him, placing the point of his lance just there, and in an eye blink the Mountain was falling. (Eddard VII)
Ser Loras Tyrell brings down [the (Moon) Mountain that rides](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2016/04/07/the-mountain-and-the-viper/). This is a depiction of Azor Ahai breaking the moon and bringing it down to earth. There’s a few different lines of symbolism in this paragraph that I want to bring up.
Firstly, Loras Tyrell rigs the game by riding a mare in heat. This is gamesmanship and trickery that sounds a lot like Lann the Clever. Lann too has Azor Ahai symbolism, mainly by virtue of stealing the fire of the sun and using that to “crown” himself with. Trickery, betrayal and deception are also themes we have seen in the Renly scene, in which Renly’s act of treason is greeted with a magical fratricidal cold shadow willing to commit the cardinal sin of kinslaying – again, I point to the Blood Betrayal.
I also think Martin is doing a bit of tricky wordplay in this particular phrase, which he likes to do sometimes.
>“…and suddenly Loras Tyrell was on him, placing the point of his lance just there, and in an eye blink the Mountain was falling.”
“…in an eye blink” is kind of an odd turn of phrase, more usually worded as “in the blink of an eye”. To me, this suggests that Martin has changed it on purpose and I believe it is an allusion to one of the most prominent images of the Lightbringer disaster, the God’s Eye. So, remember when the moon wandered too close to the sun in the Qartheen myth (if not, just pop back to the start of the essay and quickly read my summary of LmL’s main thesis), and how this is probably a mythological representation of the eclipse? That is the God’s Eye: imagine the silhouette of the second moon against the sun as the pupil and fiery iris up in the sky, like the eye of god. Sauron’s eye is a similar thing (although you’re gonna have to look up [BlueTiger](https://theambercompendium.wordpress.com/) for LOTR analysis, because LOTR just does not stay in my mind). In which case, “just there, and in an eye” is a reference to Loras lance piercing the God’s Eye, which is just another depiction of the comet hitting the moon and destroying it. This is followed up by the Mountain’s fall, a depiction of the pieces of the broken moon falling to earth after being struck by the comet.
>The Knight of Flowers reined up at the end of the lists. His lance was not even broken. His sapphires winked in the sun as he raised his visor, smiling. The commons went mad for him. (Eddard VII, AGOT)
And the comet doesn’t even appear to be broken! That’s the now transformed Red Comet whizzing past the disaster zone, wielded by Azor Ahai reborn. Note how the sapphires now “wink” in the sun, an allusion to one eye being blinded.
But then the Mountain rises again. *Cue ominous music*
>In the middle of the field, Ser Gregor Clegane disentangled himself and came boiling to his feet. He wrenched off his helm and slammed it down onto the ground. His face was dark with fury and his hair fell down into his eyes. "My sword," he shouted to his squire, and the boy ran it out to him. By then his stallion was back on its feet as well. (Eddard VII, AGOT)
Ser Gregor’s face is now dark, a depiction of the now darkened face of the destroyed moon (dark because it is no longer there) and of the rising cloud of smoke and ash that blotted out the sun to cause the Long Night. Loras Tyrell has to be our solar figure, because he wielded a lance against the Mountain of the Moon, so the Mountain should come after Loras. And that is precisely what he does.
>Gregor Clegane killed the horse with a single blow of such ferocity that it half severed the animal's neck. Cheers turned to shrieks in a heartbeat. The stallion went to its knees, screaming as it died. By then Gregor was striding down the lists toward Ser Loras Tyrell, his bloody sword clutched in his fist.
Ser Gregor wields a bloody sword against the man that brought him low. We have already seen the bloody sword symbol this essay, when Tobho Mott accidentally made Ice bloody. So we have a Lightbringer symbol being wielded by… technically Nissa Nissa Reborn, but Lightbringer and its wielder are a product of both the sun and the moon, so saying “Nissa Nissa Reborn” is akin to saying “Azor Ahai Reborn”. They’re both beings transformed by the moon’s destruction and the fire of the gods coming to earth. This rebirth is accompanied by the classic Nissa Nissa cry of anguish and ecstasy, as the crowd’s cheers turn to shrieks. The same crowd that gasped from a thousand throats at the sight of the sapphire forget-me-nots.
Lastly:
>The courser dashed away in panic as Ser Loras lay stunned in the dirt. But as Gregor lifted his sword for the killing blow, a rasping voice warned, "Leave him be," and a steel-clad hand wrenched him away from the boy.
>The Mountain pivoted in wordless fury, swinging his longsword in a killing arc with all his massive strength behind it, but the Hound caught the blow and turned it, and for what seemed an eternity the two brothers stood hammering at each other as a dazed Loras Tyrell was helped to safety.
This is gonna be a bit info-dumpy because it’s not entirely relevant to Tobho Mott, other than being a “look what the man in Tobho Mott’s armor caused”. So, the (Hell)Hound turns up to save the day and it probably won’t surprise you to learn that hellhounds can also represent the moon meteors. I also think the fact that the two brothers “hammer” at each other is likely reference to the [Hammer of the Waters](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2016/04/07/the-mountain-and-the-viper/), which LmL proposes as being a result of the moon meteors landing on or near the Arm of Dorne. Brother vs brother conflict is evident in a variety of nature mythology, often reflecting the turning of the seasons, and this seems to be mirrored in ASOIAF in-world mythology ([Crowfood’s Daughter](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQTkPAgya-tMFF268FmkOhA) has done some nice work on this).
After the Hand’s Tourney, Loras Tyrell then only appears in the armor of the Kingsguard, first as Lord Commander of Renly’s Rainbow Guard and then as a member of the Kingsguard. These are probably not made by Tobho Mott, given that Renly made his claim to the kingdom when in the Reach and given the standardised armor of the Kingsguard. However, they do play into this motif of Loras wearing icy armor which appears prominently so, here goes.
This is a description of Loras’ armor during the melee at Bitterbridge, after he has been named Lord Commander of Renly’s Kingsguard:
>She [Catelyn] had never met Ser Loras Tyrell, but even in the distant north one heard tales of the prowess of the young Knight of Flowers. Ser Loras rode a tall white stallion in silver mail, and fought with a long-handled axe. A crest of golden roses ran down the center of his helm.
>Two of the other survivors had made common cause. They spurred their mounts toward the knight in the cobalt armor. As they closed to either side, the blue knight reined hard, smashing one man full in the face with his splintered shield while his black destrier lashed out with a steel-shod hoof at the other. In a blink, one combatant was unhorsed, the other reeling. The blue knight let his broken shield drop to the ground to free his left arm, and then the Knight of Flowers was on him. The weight of his steel seemed to hardly diminish the grace and quickness with which Ser Loras moved, his rainbow cloak swirling about him. (Catelyn II, ACOK)
Given that Loras is wearing his rainbow cloak, we can suppose that he is also wearing with RainbowGuard armor. And it’s silver, just like his other armor (his Other armor *ba dun tss*). This makes him a match for the Warrior’s Sons, the defenders of the Faith and stand-ins for the Others.
>The Warrior’s Sons wore **rainbow cloaks** and inlaid **silver armor** over hair shirts, and bore star-shaped crystals in the pommels of their longswords. (Cersei VI, AFFC)
Loras is also graceful and quick in his fight with Brienne, a match for the description of the Others in the Prologue of AGOT. All in all, pretty icy stuff.
Then he joins the Kingsguard, whose armor is described in terms like this:
>One knight wore an intricate suit of white enameled scales, **brilliant as a field of new-fallen snow**, with silver chasings and clasps that glittered in the sun. (Sansa I, AGOT)
>She glimpsed Ser Preston near the stables with three others of the Kingsguard, white cloaks **bright as the moon** as they helped Joffrey into his armor. (Sansa II, ACOK)
>Ser Mandon Moore rode at his side, **white steel icy bright**. (Sansa V, ACOK)
> The mail was gilded, finely wrought, the links as supple as good leather, the plate enameled, **hard as ice and bright as new-fallen snow**. (The Kingbreaker, ADWD)
Once again, this armor has all the connotations of ice and snow as befits the guy who seems to just be wearing armor devoted to icy symbolism. And did you spot the sneaky reference to the Kingsguard being Others? Sansa glimpsing Ser Preston near “three **Others** of the Kingsguard”? LmL has written quite a bit on [the Other symbolism of the Kingsguard](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2016/03/15/dawn-of-the-others/), which I recommend you checking out, but that was a little sneaky one that I wanted to point out to you. In any case, this now suggests Loras has joined the other men of the KIngsguard and has become armored in a different type of ice armor.
So, to summarise Loras Tyrell’s symbolism , he seems to be singularly dedicated to representing an icy, greenseeing/child-of-the-forest magical being who brings down the moon and romances the moon maiden (which is the same thing, symbolically). He does this all while wearing armor with very ice-symbolic connotations, some of which is forged by an ice man atop the ice hill, whose forge is guarded by magical doors, who also spent his time forging Lightbringer symbols and who knows how to magically reforge Valyrian steel, the closest thing we have to Lightbringer in OTL. That is a **LOT** of symbolism.
So, no, this is not an exact replica of the actual Azor Ahai myth: Tobho Mott isn’t a smith and a warrior, like Azor Ahai supposedly was. However, he does seem singularly dedicated to forging Lightbringer symbols that are then wielded by Azor Ahai figures in very Lightbringer-y ways. What we're seeing is two aspects of Azor Ahai embodied as two different characters, but because they're representing the same overall archetype, they share some key symbolism.
Which ultimately begs the question: *why?*
**A Direwolf’s Head for the King of Winter**
After dropping names like a flurry of summer snow, Tobho Mott offers to forge Ned a fearsome new helm:
>“I could fashion a direwolf helm so real that children will run from you in the street.”
We now know what that means: some antics related to Azor Ahai must be afoot!
To understand the full implication of this, we have to understand Ned’s role as a King of Winter. In the story, the King of Winter is the ruler in the North, and this is a title that Robb, Ned’s son and heir, picks up later in the novel. However, there is a bunch of mythological symbolism that is also represented in this title, beautifully outlined by LmL in his [Green Zombies series](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2016/12/02/king-of-winter-lord-of-corpses/). One real-world ritual involves taking some leaves at the end of autumn (Samhain, actually) and fashioning a little man out of them. This man is known as the King of Winter, and you keep him in your house during winter. The King of Winter gets burned to death to bring the spring, at the Bealtaine festival.
Back to the direwolf helm. Given what we have seen of icy Tobho Mott forging armor for icy Azor Ahai re-enactor, Loras Tyrell, in some kind of symbiotic relationship, it is unsurprising that Mott is trying to encourage the King of Winter to commission some work. We later learn that a King of Winter with a direwolf’s head is a dead King of Winter – think of Robb’s posthumous head transplant thanks to the treacherous Freys.
We also know what happens to a King who gets killed wearing Tobho Mott’s armor because we’ve covered it already this essay:
>"King Renly's shade was seen as well," the captain said, "slaying right and left as he led the lion lord's van. It's said his green armor took a ghostly glow from the wildfire, and his antlers ran with golden flames." (Davos II, ASOS)
He gets set on fire. This is exactly how a King of Winter should die – by being burned. But, this death is also a resurrection, much like Azor Ahai was reborn. Which implies Azor Ahai as an icy magical greenseeing being who sought after fire (likely the fire of the gods), like Loras Tyrell wearing his icy armor when he romances the moon maiden and brings down the Moon Mountain. That “fire of the gods” is the moon meteors, which can be represented by hellhounds. What are the closest approximation to hellhounds in ASOIAF? Direwolves, of course.
Which brings us back full circle. So when Tobho Mott wants to give Ned a direwolf’s helm, what he’s really saying is that he wants the icy king to die and be resurrected again in the fire of the Lightbringer moon meteors, *“slaying left and right”*. And just after he makes this offer to Ned, Tobho Mott leads him down into the forge that is described *“as though he [Ned] were walking into a dragon’s mouth”*: that’s Tobho Mott leading the King of Winter into the dragon!moon meteor’s transformative fire. Tobho Mott wants Azor Ahai Reborn.
**Concluding Remarks**
I’ve rattled through a lot of symbolism there and I am once again astounded at how much symbolism George can pack into such a small space. After all, Tobho Mott only makes two on-screen appearances and I have analysed only five pieces of his smithing work.
So, what do we appear to have learned?
1) Tobho Mott has a ton of icy, magical smith symbolism
2) Tobho Mott possesses the fire of the gods aka a dragon in his forge
3) Tobho Mott uses this fire to create Azor Ahai’s armor and Lightbringer
4) Tobho Mott spends his time trying to convince the icy King of Winter to be transformed by his fire of the gods powers
And this is where I get a tiny bit confused, because you can read this symbolism in multiple ways and I’m not sure where I stand.
* Tobho Mott is a man who forges weapons for the villain who broke the moon
* Tobho Mott is a man who forges armor for an ice prince or ice lordling
* Tobho Mott is a man who forges armor for the Last Hero/King of Winter figure
Initially, I was thinking more along the lines of the second bullet point, but I’m now leaning more towards bullet point 3 after reading LmL’s recent essays exploring the dragon-locked-in-ice motif (check out his [The Blood of the Other series](https://lucifermeanslightbringer.com/2018/02/24/a-baelful-bard-and-a-promised-prince/) for more on this), given Mott’s attempt to resurrect the King of Winter with a direwolf’s head and his dragon-esque forge buried in the ice hill. Let me know which bullet point you think is more likely, or feel free to add your own ideas!
I hope you’ve enjoyed that coverage of Tobho Mott’s surprisingly extensive symbolism. If you've enjoyed this, I thoroughly recommend following up on all the analysts I've referenced throughout - I am truly standing on the shoulders of giants.

204,936 | So manipulating RNAi by using crispr to say tell your body to stop the creation of insulin, so that your body reads it as a viral command and start creating insulin again is not in the real of possibility?
I saw a PBS study about 8 years ago where a man was trying to make his flowers a deeper purple but instead they turned white.
So I was thinking of all the interesting things we might do by inputting viral commands. Like augmenting the senses, extracting more oxygen, restart insulin production, reverse alhzeimers and slow the aging process.

As for the neighboring countries in Europe, Ukraine and Belarus are close Russian allies. The very own and only real dictator of Europe, Lukashenko, is the president of Belarus who is of course close friends with Putin. The only reason Ukraine was attacked was because they started looking west to the EU and NATO. And with internal troubles those ambitions lay a long way off.
Russia doesn't wan't there neighboring countries to move more westward when they work so well as 1. Buffer states, 2. Allies and trade partners and 3. Influence in the region. That is why Georgia for instance isn't part of the EU or NATO, because once again to prevent that Russia invaded Georgia. (If you didn't know yet a country can't join the EU when it has internal troubles, which Georgia now has with two major regions wanting to split off. )
Truth is Russia is weak, weaker than we usually think, it is growing in strength but it is weak. It needs a strong military to protect its long border. Without U.S. intervention Russia wouldn't waltz into Poland, Estonia Finland or Germany because they have no reason to. They tried once in Finland but that ended in the disaster that became the Winter War. It needed Crimea also in particular to keep access to a warm water port, which Russia normally does not have, another reason Russia invade Crimea.

no conjugations. That means that there's no difference between was/am/will be/are/is/to be/were. Instead of having completely arbitrary names for the days of the week and months, they have a word meaning day of week, and then the number one for monday, two for tuesday etc. Then there's a word meaning month, and then again they add the number that corresponds (jan. = 1, dec. = 12)

204,957 | Paul Krugman (Nobel winner) on rent control:
"The analysis of rent control is among the best-understood issues in all of economics, and -- among economists, anyway -- one of the least controversial. In 1992 a poll of the American Economic Association found 93 percent of its members agreeing that ''a ceiling on rents reduces the quality and quantity of housing.'' Almost every freshman-level textbook contains a case study on rent control, using its known adverse side effects to illustrate the principles of supply and demand,"
https://www.nytimes.com/2000/06/07/opinion/reckonings-a-rent-affair.html
So to answer your question, yes there probably are some people at top 100 universities that disagree but everyone else thinks rent control is bad.

204,972 | What drug companies like Mallinckrodt are doing is **anything but** a free market.
Just consider -- in what universe would a 65-year old product that costs dollars to produce, and earns $1B annually, **not** have any competitors? A free market requires competition, and when you manipulate federal regulations to prevent competitors from entering the market, that's no longer a free market. I definitely don't want price controls -- I want simple, low-overhead regulations (like those keeping drugs safe) free from such obvious tampering by the companies that would rather sue and obstruct than research and innovate.
And, HSA's are a great idea, **but** they depend heavily on consumers having the information they need to choose the right care options. If we're not told what our drugs cost, or we can't compare the effectiveness of two different drug options, or effective affordable options are kept off the market by regulatory manipulation, then HSAs won't solve the problem. | My copay for one of my meds is higher than with my loyalty club discount.

That's an odd statement. Every strategy is boiled down to what champs are picked. You can't have a poke strategy with all melee champs.
Pros known for their champs can use them. Heck in this "marksmen are worthless" meta we have pros breaking out their Dravens and Vaynes. I'm sure if Froggen were on a pro team and it wasn't banned he could break out Anivia.

It's not about you. Your not Bresson/Scorsese, egos have no place at these things. Iv mopped floors. Stitched dresses. Arranged flowers. Fixed hair/make up. Pushed cars. I have came across too many vendors who feel their gods fucking gift.
The photos are the least of my worries on a wedding day. Photos are the bit I do instinctively. It all the little bits that i can do for a couple to make their day easier is the bit I have to think about. | Thank you man I definitely will!
The more experience I get the more confident I will be to speak up and direct. | A small pile of very expensive shite.....
I do commercial work, studio work, weddings, general landscape stuff, fine art printing stuff, have a mad love for Polaroids and shoot the odd bit of film.
So yeah.... I would be horrified to get it all together and lay it out. (And Christ knows what would happen if my wife saw that photo.....)
But to give you an idea.
Weddings.
2 5d iiis (til this wk any way, iv been putting insane mileage on them so I have my first 1dxii on the way and I am beyond excited)
A lomo instax wide yoke for some polaroids through the day
Lens wise in the am the 16-35 2.8, 35mm 1.4 and a 50 1.2 when I get to the main event the 24-70 And the 70-200 Pretty much live on the camera.
I have a pile of flashes in some shade of disrepair but I bought two hahnel ones the other day and they are the dogs bollocks
Landscape bag
Really varies on what I think I may be at but in general.
5dsr, 16-35mm 2.8, 24mm tsl, 50mm 70-200 2.8 ii is and the 2x extender (though I REALLY want a 70-200 f4 non is, I had one and sold it for the 2.8 and it was an amazing lens and so so so much lighter. Fuck carrying the other yoke when I don't have to)
Studio work
5dsr and 70-200 nearly all day long.
I do want a 100mm macro for this but struggling to justify.
There's a what of studio flashes and the likes too.
Arty shite
I love the ocean. I love the Textures of it and I have spent god knows how many days bobbing about snapping random shots of water
Aquatech housing, ports, canon 7d and the 8-14mm fish eye
Family
Iv a fuji x100s and the extenders when I go for a wander with the long suffering wife
Its an amazing bit of kit.
Random Polaroid love/film
Iv a couple of land cameras (and a drawer of film just for me :) )
2 or 3 Polaroid 600s in some shade of repair
An sx70 which I adore.
A Fuji instax wide
And 2 of the lomo instax wide (roller is giving me hip on one)
Iv a eos 300 I think it is? A holga and god knows how many other random 120 bodies of been given or found in antique shops.
Printers
FUUUUUUUCK printers
I had to build a office/studio out the back to house a epson 9800 and iv a canon pro one I had used to get my hand in before I wanted 600lbs of shite in my life, but I have a love b&w brother jobie that prints off all the shite for my accountant. That ones great. It just works :)
Iv a epson scanner for scanning negs/Polaroids. It will do up to 4x5 so yes, I see a 4x5 in my future.
If you want to see some of my work that I try usr to justify having all this shit when herself asks.
Or if you have any questions on any of this. Shout.
