Why did Jon Snow's sword eyes change color?

Jon Snow's sword, Longclaw, didn't actually change eye color; it was a clever optical illusion caused by reflections from the snow and water, combined with camera angles, making the red garnet "eyes" in the pommel appear white or blue as Jon emerged from an icy lake in Game of Thrones. The "eyes" are just stones (garnets), and the dramatic shift in hue was an unintentional but effective visual trick, not a magical transformation into Lightbringer.

Why is Jon Snow's hair black if he is a Targaryen?

Jon Snow has black hair because he's half Stark (dark hair, dominant) and half Targaryen (silver/blonde, recessive), so the dominant Stark genes, particularly from his mother Lyanna, determined his dark coloring, a common genetic outcome for half-breeds in Westeros, even serving as a perfect disguise for his true heritage.

What's special about Jon Snow's sword?

Jon Snow's sword, Longclaw, is special because it's made of rare Valyrian steel, a lightweight, incredibly strong metal that stays sharp indefinitely and, crucially, can kill White Walkers (Others), unlike regular steel. Its distinctive wolf's head pommel (changed from a bear by Jeor Mormont) symbolizes its gift to Jon, making it a powerful ancestral weapon with unique properties against the supernatural threat of the dead.

What color are Jon Snow's eyes?

Jon Snow's eyes are described in George R.R. Martin's books as a dark grey, so dark they appear almost black, reflecting his Stark heritage (Ned Stark's eyes) rather than Targaryen traits like purple eyes. While some fan theories suggest a hidden purple hue from his Targaryen father, Rhaegar, the dominant Stark genetics give him dark features, making his eyes a deep, shadowy grey, similar to his father Eddard Stark's.

Jon Snow's eyes turn ice blue

Why are white walkers weak to Valyrian steel?

Valyrian steel kills White Walkers because it's imbued with magic from its forging process, specifically dragonfire and potentially blood magic, which embodies the opposite element (fire/life) to the White Walkers' ice and death magic, allowing it to shatter their icy forms, much like dragon glass (obsidian). While normal steel freezes and breaks against White Walkers, Valyrian steel's inherent magic disrupts their undead nature, essentially acting as a magical counter-agent to the ice.

Why did Jon Snow's sword not break?

Jon Snow's sword (Longclaw) didn't break because it's made of Valyrian steel, a rare metal forged with magic (likely dragonfire) that makes it exceptionally strong, immune to White Walker magic, and capable of killing them, unlike regular steel which shatters against their ice weapons. This special property, similar to dragonglass, was a pivotal moment, revealing Valyrian steel as a key weapon against the Others, much to the White Walkers' surprise.
